In reply to the discussion: the tradition of blaming the victim [View all]chervilant
(8,267 posts)27. + a gazillion
The only reason that I don't lose all hope is because it took a huge swath of Americans, not just black but ALL of us to back up the Susan G Komen organisation, the dearth of justice in the Martin murder case, the corporate sponsors of ALEC and many other atrocities against humanity. It's not going to be easy, (nothing worthwhile ever is) but if we continue to stay cohesive and fight the encroaching darkness, we will eventually win out. I will stand will you and the nameless millions who stand on the side of decency, justice, equality and justice.
I remain hopeful that the Hoi Polloi will coalesce into a solid, effective force, using non-violence and Satyagraha to help the fear- and hate-mongers heal their hearts and learn to love.

Who's Williams? You mean Trayvon Martin? If you're talking about him, you're absolutely right.
