How can this possibly be resolved. How can the racial conflict be solved with this man sitting in the White House? How can bridges be build, when mainly violence on both sides makes it into the news, making the fronts harden and every constructive outcome unreachable.

And here in Germany, I never thought, really thought about how severe everyday racism is. Being aware of the issue, but in my one bubble. Have I missed this, something I promised myself never to do? Or is it not that bad? Am I acting like this is not my problem?

My view onto the world changed in this passed months and this is the tip of the iceberg. The world order has shifted in my head.
