These thing are rarely peaceful. Its not right that they cant be but in reality they just aren't. Quite often it takes a immense shock to the nation to transition to them. Those that are calling out for peace may be morally right in doing so but in reality are naive in their thinking and in doing so just postpone the change. I certainly dont condone any violence, but I'm not going to sit here and take the high horse on those fighting for their rights in the only way they can.

Mitch and his right wing judges will STOP ALL CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
We can't give up, but the deck, and the courts are stacked against all the good people out there. Those that fight for justice and freedom, instead of corporate slavery.

I think the covid 19 will be the game changer. We will have a serious worldwide depression. The way we work will change. If Biden is elected, we will need a New, New Deal, more extensive than FDR's.
If Biden is elected, racial injustice and institutionalized racism will be addressed, at the very least. Will anything change? Maybe. If Biden has a black, female vice president that person could be the right one to put in charge of implementing change.
We are a racist country. Any change will be slow and hard. It will meet terrible resistance. And this will be on top of the depression and the pandemic. We are all in a world of hurt.
In other words, racial justice will be at the bottom of the list, no matter how well-intentioned we are.

Try getting a C19 test.
Try getting an antibodies test.
You have to lie to get a test in some cases.
Try getting a ventilator in a mass crisis.
