(8,676 posts)Your reading of history leaves something to be desired. For more than 100 years people of many colors have fought this fight and yet it is still not settled. That is not good enough. Not for you, nor your brothers and sisters, nor your parents, nor your grand parents, nor any of mine either. We ALL still need a culture and a society which respects every one of us rather than systematically and relentlessly murdering our bodies, our minds and our souls.
Shouting down one voice recognized thus far as actually addressing your concerns substantially and historically will not persuade anyone that you have reason to be listened to.
You have a real cause. So do I. If I silence your speech in order to get mine heard have I actually helped either of us? Have I made people listen to how important, how desperate, how immanent that threat to real lives is?
