So many words. The outpouring over the last five days has been overwhelming. I can’t scroll through Twitter or refresh the pages on my favorite blogs and news sources for the latest commentary and reflections fast enough. The gamut of emotion on display has been raw, with many folks extending their anger over the acquittal of George Zimmerman to a frank analysis of the failure of our U.S. justice system for people of color, especially Black folks.

Of all the words, the ones that say “We are ALL Trayvon” have troubled me the most.
