1/ America was never without racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism or xenophobia. But we thought we’d reached a consensus where none could ever again be turned into a major political force. With the advent of social media and a president who gives a wink-wink, the levees have fallen.

2/ This is not a political but a spiritual contest. Anyone who thinks it is as simple as just changing things on the level of effect is naïve. The “dark psychic force of collectivized hatred” is no joke & treating it like one is an example of the naïveté that allows it to fester.

And in a way the honesty is good for our country. Hate always needs to be brought out into the light so we can all see its ugliness

Seems like most police happens in blue states where the police unions buy off all the politicians.

The levees may have fallen, nevertheless protestors have brought the sandbags and the movement shall bring new brick and stronger concrete.

We love @realDonaldTrump and we're going to all his rallies!!!!

Had the administration before President Trump's stood up against the rioting, unruly disrespect that escalated in places like Ferguson, and ever since, good chance we wouldn't have this unruliness now. Nobody should accept violence as an answer to wrongdoings, period. Respect All

*Who* reached a consensus? This is the sort of “la-la land”, folks with privilege, say about 🇺🇸 a country, with a well documented history of darkness against PoC & black folks. Blaming social media or, an opportunistic, white supremacist prez is deflection. THE UGLY IS US.😒

Can’t the contest be both political and spiritual? And maybe also cultural? And economic (as not all economic factors are governed by politics)? I would expect a systemic problem to have complex origins, sustaining factors and potential solutions.

Yup
