2. Sometimes people have a dream. "I Have a Dream".

And through persistence, righteousness and leaders with great courage,
THAT DREAM BECOMES THE COMMON SENSE OF THE PEOPLE.

I am quoting from Ibram X. Kendi here.
https://democraticunderground.com/100216524810
Racism and misogyny live in the discredited past.
WE CAN'T GO BACK.

Great leaders and people of unyielding courage and conviction have broken barriers.

Joe Biden, amid hate and treats from howler monkeys opposed to him, and doubters in his own party, shattered the glass barrier and made what was a dream very real. There's no "more of the same" here. With the power and immediacy of a lightning bolt, it's the new reality versus a retreat to the world of robber barons and Jim Crow.

WE CAN'T GO BACK.
WE WON'T GO BACK.


Women and People of Color, claim your future.
It's right now.

Kendi:

There will come a time when Americans will realize that the only thing wrong with Black people is that they think something is wrong with Black people. There will come a time when racist ideas will no longer obstruct us from seeing the complete and utter abnormality of racial disparities. There will come a time when we will love humanity, when we will gain the courage to fight for an equitable society for our beloved humanity, knowing , intelligently, that when we fight for humanity, we are fighting for ourselves. There will come a time. Maybe, just maybe, that time is now.
