Neither the abolitionists nor suffragettes nor civil rights movement would have thought it “reasonable” to think they could override the extraordinary economic and governmental force of the status quo of their times. Yet they did. It can take time, but better ideas ultimately win

The problem is that there are people who don't want to figure things out peacefully and even avoid workable solutions. These people have an obvious incentive not to solve social problems, because social problems are the basis of their power!

That's true! It took 12yrs to win my case that ended up being the Office of Civil Rights vs the State of GA. It's affecting change in the lives of disabled parents & Foster parents within the Dept of Family & Children's Services. Perseverance pays off-for the betterment of All

I never expected @marwilliamson to be one of my favorite people of 2020 when the primaries got going, but I am enjoying this storyline twist.

We can’t know, but the awakening & conviction & awareness rising up now - coupled with approaching elections - means game on. We can’t let individual lost battles defeat us emotionally. It’s a long haul - because it’s a deep cancer & we let it go on too long - but love will win.

What is it that I should say? BLM is a good thing. Are some criminals taking advantage of the situation and looting etc.? Yes they are, and no person of goodwill is happy about that. Of course it’s wrong. But the violence of the police is greater than the violence of the looting.
