79. The ones that say "the heck with them" were never with them in the first place. Others may have . .
their consciousness raised by the protest and respond in ways that they can.
Perhaps by financial means, by political pressure, by legal assistance, maybe by even getting in the streets and protesting themselves. The struggle is sometimes about making the comfortable uncomfortable — sorta like what the media used to be about, "comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable" — but in this day and age of corporate media that duty seems to have been taken up people of color protesting against injustice. The movement can us people of non-color too. |
