What if I were to tell you about a virtually ignored state of emergency, a lethal pandemic of which the exact numbers will never be fully known? I’m pretty sure you’d have a few guesses as to what I mean… but I’m also pretty sure those guesses would be inaccurate.

There are some very predictable reactions whenever a person of color is murdered by white cops. One of those reactions involves the rich and famous abruptly noticing that the reason for their wealth and notoriety is ultimately, um… less than essential?

Case in point: In the photo at the top of this article, an NBA player was having an existential crisis because basketball suddenly means nothing in the big picture (or even the medium-sized picture, I’d add). Reactions like this never fail to leave me with questions. Here are two of ‘em:

2.) How many big names ever take to Twitter to ponder the planet’s deepest and largest injustice: men as a class oppressing women as a class?

What I’m talking about here is Male Pattern Violence. Sex-based violence. A global terror war that’s being waged by males against females for centuries… after being normalized in The Bible.
