Its all going to change. For more reasons than one. I have a new favorite

the impact of racist police violence on the powder keg of the contemporary US Civil RIghts agenda will
play a larger role than imagined.
And in exactly the right way.
For all the inherently racist bloc vote appeal proclaimed, the results will be more than telling.
Reality will speak and all the vote suppression, miscounting and electoral fraud in the world wont
stop real change, real soon. It has come to this.
but the irony, if it is irony, makes it nearly uncomfortable to chortle at the Clinton campaign's utter failure
and future chronicles thereof.

it hurts.

The violence is out of hand, especially when it's at the hands of those who should protect us...

Is that the gist here?

...is going to resonate in ways not seen before in our lifetimes.

This is how bad it's gotten, institutionalized racism AND a perpetual underclass.

We've been waiting for the right message(s) and the right messenger(s) and I think the time is near.

As more people hear the message, more people will redirect their energy to the stronger, more empathetic, candidates.

Thanks for the post and Happy Thanksgiving!
