After reading your thoughts, it reignites these feelings that I have:
- Many folks still don't truly see us as equally human.
- Many" good" folks will not speak up unless their community is directly affected by these issues.
- We are really on our own unless we are in some area where there is more local control of the government and community.
I hope it doesn't get worse before it gets better, but with the national lens focused on a person, the prez, and his ilk that have little respect or understanding for our community, it definitely will not.
I really do try to remain 'hopeful' ... but I never wan to be unrealistic. As you said, there are no Saviors coming to save black people. So we are ... in a way ... stuck, to deal with the conditions we are in. We can't make Them change - they have to change one another; and yet if they choose not to ... I'm not too 'bullish' on our future
Like you I hope it doesn't get worse; maybe everything happening now, will be the spark for the change this world sorely needs
