I am somewhere between #2 and #4. I am in denial and don't want to believe this could touch my life. And I am surprised. I am terrified about police brutality, but cold-blooded murder? I associate that with the South. I am not ready to walk around in fear of random psycho white people.

What about you?

(And if you come up with other alternatives to my poll, I'll add them)

	I think it's a random incident, and not an indication that we have a major problem with racism in America. It has nothing to do with my life personally.

	It was only a matter of time, it was going to happen. The number of white supremicist extremists in our country is very high, and being black in America is dangerous.
