It's funny seeing my type of wordiness in someone else's writing.
Well, there's stuff going on all over the place but a lot of people need to see rallies to think that the community is protesting and change is going to happen. I would rather
not see rallies and public protests because those aren't indicative of large scale and longterm change. The Jim Crow and Civil Rights Eras were times of more overt inequalities. There are now more institutional and covert inequalities that require less overt methods. If we can maintain conciousness and activity without needing the public spectacle, we will be able to reach the community through education and so forth. We need to continue to challenge one another to do better without feeling that such a challenge is an insult to our community.
I'm not talking about the Bill Cosby speech type of challenge. I'm talking about a similar in-your-face approach that doesn't need the cameras and that pressures us to continue combating inequality through information and action rather than complaints.
