White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson knows the world is angry, and as he searches for a way to express his emotions about the death of George Floyd, he’s most comfortable doing so in measured tones and via art.

“I’m a person that kind of lives on both sides of things,” Anderson, the Sox’ only African American player, said Monday. “I know what it’s like, being in the position I’m in. So I try to stay right in the middle of it. There’s no anger from me.”

Anderson posted artsy, poignant photos on Instagram of himself wearing a Sox insignia on his chest in front of the words: “Our actions today will shape our tomorrow.” Another shows him standing alongside Floyd’s name spray-painted on a wall. The photos were taken Sunday as Anderson, who lives in the south suburbs, toured the destruction in the city in the aftermath of protests surrounding Floyd, an African American who was killed in police custody in Minneapolis. Murder and manslaughter charges have been brought against police officer Derek Chauvin.

Anderson said he wanted the photos “to show exactly what’s going on in the world, whether it’s good, bad or ugly.”

“It was definitely something I’ve never seen before, so I wanted to capture it,” Anderson said. “It gives me an opportunity to remember those moments. I understand that some of the words that were in those photos might have been bad. But when you’re going through certain situations, you have to show the good, the bad and the ugly.

“And in that situation, that’s something that I don’t (only) have to explain to my kids, but I can also show them because I captured those moments. And I think that was the biggest thing. Who knows where those photos may end up. That’s a part of history.”

He took an "artsy" picture in front of a Fuck the Police sign.

Will this finally cause Keyser to turn on his guy?

How much did Timmmayyy give to black owned charities last year? Phoney asshat.

If he can get on base at a .360 clip and field a decent short I'll drive the U-Haul to Oak Street for him.
