So Now What

I am going to try to keep this short and sweet. So what happened in Charlottesville, VA yesterday is not a surprise and it is going to happen again. See, I was sitting on the couch yesterday afternoon and evening watching the situation unfold and listening to the people who are suppose to be leading us; some because we elected them, some because someone hired them to give their opinion on cable news and some because we support their careers by buying tickets to see them perform. To be honest, none of these people have a clue or they are playing the game of acting like they are involved in “the cause.” Yes, many of them where ripped apart on Twitter an other social media platforms but are we as a culture strong enough to hit them where it hurts, in the pockets. See the people that lead us will only truly fight for us if they are honestly among us, BROKE AND SUFFERING. I also feel as though we need to understand the other side of this argument without being compassionate. What I mean is, we are all ultimately fighting the same fight, they feel among other things, as though they are being left out of the “American dream” but they also feel that their way back is to marginalize others as appose to attacking the true oppressor, people with the same skin color as them. See what most people of color fail to realize is that most of the white people who are here on the western hemisphere are “the worst” of Europe. Their ancestors where the poor, criminals, and/or civilly disobedient and basically banished from Europe. And just like people of color, they too struggle to be relevant. Where does it go from here? How do we continue to be peaceful and unorganized when the apparent enemy seems to be militant, organized and well funded, with no reason to concede. The only way I see forward is a hot or cold war within the borders of this nation if the leaders do not have the will to share the wealth.
