28. Why do you think I wish them to wait even a week?

I can't fix this or it would be fixed tomorrow. I wish I knew how long it will take, but human nature being what it is, it won't be as fast as anyone wants or needs it to be. But we can all work together and push as hard as we can to make everyone uncomfortable enough to start taking it seriously. And that is already happening with the BLM movement and the exposure of all the killlings on social media. I can only hope that each year gets a little better, but I'm really wishing each year it would get a lot better.

If we get a new President who takes this seriously and can help push the country forward, maybe it will happen faster than it has in the past.

I don't know what else to tell you She...you seem to think I'm the one slowing it down and not caring.
