28. I understand that

And I have no problem with them, all groups need places of refuge. The only problem with oasi is that a vigil has to be kept, to make sure that under the flag of "good intentions" they do not become turned into prisons or fortresses. Unfortunstely, every group produces people who will want to focus so much on us vs them that we lose sight of ourselves

And no rq, I harbor no illusions that we are in any sort of post racial, post gender wprld. Truth be told, in all areas of the spectrum, and yes, this rainbow analogy is not avcidental, we are nowhere near where we should be. The only reason I see hope is because, as opposed to the speed history normallytravels at,we are finally moving at a fairly decent clip. Hoever, I have no illusions about the fact that many wamt to roll things back. Progress is not linear, it has cycles where ther is hope, and dark ages, I just want to make sure that in the time we have a chance, we make the most of it, because if we let the throwbacks win, they may have humanity down for the count this time.
