13 things my uncle told me before he died: not everyone has the blessing to understand sadness when waiting at the bus stop, it’s okay to smoke cigarettes never touch anyone else’s clothes at the laundromat it’s okay to miss the people who were bullets to you when your grandmother asks you how you are, be honest never be afraid to say “no” even after you’ve said “yes” if someone tells you graffiti isn’t art, prove them wrong remember people by their eye color not their clothes you’re allowed to like dark chocolate with tangerines don’t lie that you don’t have a lighter when you really do turn your phone off every once in a while and find the moon if you want a tattoo, don’t let anyone tell you not to get it if you ever find yourself at the graveyard, read the names

This photo was taken over 20 years ago by Todd Robertson during a KKK rally in northeast Georgia. One of the boys approached a black state trooper, who was holding his riot shield on the ground. Seeing his reflection, the boy reached for the shield, and Robertson snapped the photo.

I think the officer’s expression says it all. This child standing before him is being taught how to hate even though he doesn’t understand it. He probably doesn’t understand the difference between this and Halloween.
