Pastor John Girton provides an excerpt from the book "The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America" by Shawn Rochester and shares a perspective on the violent looting and protests following the George Floyd murder by Minneapolis police officers. According to Pastor G, ..."since the only thing many of my friends care about are the stores being looted and the cost of the rioting, let me tell you why that is the wrong starting point." Girton argues that, while not a justification for looting and destruction, there is an unfortunate and damaging underlying current of complicit acceptance of racial disparities that has been allowed to entrench itself into American society compounded over centuries. White Americans can live without an urgency to hear the truths found in the book. Black Americans and other people groups of color are simply saying that we are tired of being unheard.
