Protest Thoughts

The focus of this event cannot be black anger, or white guilt...it MUST be POLICY. Everyone can emote together, alone, or not at all...none of it matters if it doesn't translate into Structural Change.

I think Obama governed horribly and I have little love for him generally, but I agree with his message on this topic:
“We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will ACT on reform.”

“If, going forward, we can channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective ACTION, then this moment can be a real turning point in our nation’s long journey to live up to our highest ideals.”

Important Side Note: The pandemic has not ended...please take it more seriously. It's not a matter of what's more important, civil rights vs fighting pandemic...they are both important, but one doesn't go away because we choose to emphasize the other. The virus doesn't care how righteous your cause...it is as Dawkins says:

"The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.”
