26. How many years

You won't see the haters on the Cecil issue because nobody in their right mind is going to speak up and defend the damned Dentist. There are too few people who would protect him and they don't have the courage.

Sadly, the reverse is so true with AA and all PoC. To few have the courage to stand up and admit that racism exists. To few defend them.

How many more years do you think it will take. Ten, Fifty, a Hundred, more?

But racism is something it takes generations to breed out. And there are places where the politicians are not going to stand and fight with us, because they are racist too. So it will take longer in some places than others.

They have already waited generations, how many more do you wish them to wait?
