Another unspeakable tragedy. Will there be any significant, fundamental changes?

14. Couldn't vote.....I think that we all go into Rages...when we need to "Step Back" ...because

each individual situation should be examined on its on for motives.

What we miss is: Why are African Americans filling our "For Profit Prisons" in the Thousands with minor Drug Violations and that the Profits from this alone shows Government favors Incarcerating Black People over "Others" (maybe the 1%'ers Children and Celebrities get away going into "Community Service" or "Rehab&quot when there is no help for the Poor...either blacks or poor whites and they end up in horrible circumstances..doomed for life. But Poor Blacks get the worst of it all.

Mass Murders are another situation where "Lone Actor" gets all the attention and the BIG ISSUE becomes political....yet WHY are these "Lone Wolf's" doing this....then it goes into Gun Laws (important) but then into a tangent where nothing really gets resolved when the Mainstream Media gets involved.

Lone Wolfs....or Circumstances as to "WHAT TURNED THEM...TO KILL!"

I don't know...but, I think that we are all SCREWED unless we DIG Deeper into what is going on in our Country: Economy, Racism Roots, Guns and Media doing RAMBO and Promoting Violence.. and then in Denial when an Horrific Event Occurs . Was he on Drugs, affiliated with Radical Groups...a Closet Racist acting out in anger, a Lone Wolf with hate embedded in his heart. THOSE ARE THE MSM HEADLINES!

If he was Muslim..it would be "TERRORIST, ISIL/ISSIS or if he any Other Group of Ethnicity he would be tarred with that as "MOTIVE."

We don't know yet what motivated him....but, it might not be anything that we thought of..... It might be a mentally disturbed looking for Indentity, on Meds for ADD/ADT or something else. Whatever it is ....our society is responsible in some ways for these Mass Murders that leave people shaking their heads and looking for answers...but we RACE to Judgement...before all facts are out there.

Things are so "F**ed" Up in our Country these days it is hard to even express more.......but, I worry, that all this will go on until we find some way to get beyond our Prejudices and MOVE ON to a COOPERATIVE COMMONS to try to ALL GET ALONG...in whatever way we can find. Our PLANET IS IN DISTRESS...We need to GATHER TOGETHER.

Sorry...a bit of a rant.....but in memory of those who died in Charleston who worked long and hard for PEACE..... Its just gotta keep going...! It will be that long hard fight that MLK warned us of. And, he lost his life because of that...but, his words live forever in print, video and New People Discovering what he fought for, lived for, and lost his life for. And, others who've led us Forward following his words and actions.

"We are but a Blip in Time"......but, every person who fights back against "Rights of the People" makes their Mark on the World ...going forward.

We have to have HOPE..... As dreadful as all this is......we have to WORK HARDER ....to leave the LEGACY that Others Left Before Us to enlighten those we Leave Behind as a Benchmark. IMHO........
