Man, you've lived through enough for three lifetimes!
I think we are ALL due for something good to happen. The only good thing that I see right now is the fact that there is an awakening and a dialogue about race relations, and I am gratified to see some (note the use of the word "SOME"
leaders speaking out. I was gratified to know that the Joint Chiefs have spoken out today.
Now, if only MORE of the people in power would speak out and condemn this. The answer is going to be to totally outnumber the racists. We are never going to educate those who refuse to be educated, and we're not going to eradicate the belief from those who choose to have that belief. So, we've got to simply outnumber them.
Trump's views are in the minority. I really believe that. The great majority of Americans - of WHATEVER decent - want equality and want to focus on real problems instead of fighting battles that should have been over generations ago. I take heart in knowing that most of the people that I know and interact with are part of that majority. Now, we just need to do a better job of channeling that majority to the voting booth!!!!!!
