Being Black and hearing republicans laughing it up at watermelon jokes at my expense

52. After the last decade, I understand a little...

Never did I ever think I'd be having to fight the same fights I fought at 16, 17, and 18 years old and older for women's right not to be some man's property. Yet, here we are, right back there again. Granted, there are a few of the rights we fought for we still have for the present moment, but I expect if we don't get the magats back under the rocks from which they came, those will be stripped from us, too.

To me, it just speaks to what I've said forever, it seems... no matter who we are, we have to stick together. Rights stripped from one of us, will see it stripped from another group. It's only in joining together in a coalition and fighting as hard for one another as we fight for ourselves that we can win.

The R's beat us on this, IMO... but they did it on the evil side of things. You've got white supremacists and neo-nazis, militias and extreme religious fanatics all joining together in a coalition (a cult) called Maga under the rulership of one evil man. It would be interesting to see which among these groups of evils outdoes the others, if only the rest of us didn't have to pay the price.

Until then, any more "million XXX march" should encompass each and everyone of us, standing shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm with each other. Because each one of us has one goal -- to build a more perfect union where every person is guaranteed the rights and privileges of being an American, where opportunity is a level playing field for everyone, and where every voice is heard and no one is silenced any longer.
