So, we find we've really not come very far.

1. We failed to finish the job in the 60's and early 70's...imo.

The things you speak are just things and mean absolutely nothing. Fancy cars? TV shows? Buy whatever we want? Maybe some people, but there are lots of people living paycheck to paycheck and they are hurting badly right now and can't buy shit.

But that is a moot point anyways...meaningless without freedom from fear and hatred.

You mentioned "fear of other", you almost got it. It is fear of the endemic racism and hatred that is bleeding the very soul of the country dry. It is fear felt everyday by many people. Not fear of you, your not the problem, it is fear of those who want to oppress and hate and continue the 400 years of violence against people of color or people of different sexual orientation.

Be happy that some of the kids of today get it. They want a just and truly equal society. They grew up the sons and daughters in a diversified culture with the progress that was made in the civil rights movement and they want MORE.

Hell, they deserve more!

To be clear, it is not fear of other, it is fear of endemic hatred and violence.
