I'm An Angry Black Woman. This Is What I Want White People To Know.
"Anyone who’s paid two seconds of attention to history knows America does not live up to its own standards, and its ideals of things like unalienable rights certainly don’t apply if you’re not white." Certainly true. What's to be done. Being angry and dissatisfied doesn't seem to cut it. Hating racism and inequality doesn't seem to end it. What can we do, when the police don't do our will when the government doesn't do our will. Voting them out just replaces them with other people who feel the same way that they do. Okay, this is a counsel of despair, but I don't see what else is available. HELP!
