I'll watch a movie or read a novel and feel the need to look very deeply into something. It started when I read the Color Purple when I was about 7. We had done a unit on black history. I started checking out all the book from the library, one by one. Went through hundreds of books on black history over th next few years. I read and cried and got angry, bitter, frustrated, sad, but then it got easier to deal with the unfairness. It is what it is. Only way to change anything is to talk it to death, is what I got from all of my studying.
I think rather than walking away, its best to keep talking. I'll make my self heard eventually. Once people get past the anger, frustration, sadness, and bitterness at the facts, they will see what I see. And then we get change.
