My little post-script to what I just wrote re: my not being able to breathe...
I tried to read some #CrimingWhileWhite tweets and saw that #ICantBreathe was also making the hashtag activism circuit as well and I'm all for it. I have nothing against this show of solidarity, unity, and sounding of the proverbial clarion call. I couldn't get as involved as I normally would have, because I was too "done" with everything. I'm all for the outcry, I have my share of outcrying (and, to be honest, real tear drop moments...)
But what next?
Now what?
We've marched, shed light, shared stories, exposed bias, passed certain laws, reviewed policies, now what?
Wait?
Hope?
Wish?
Die?
Some call me "Flem"
