(55,981 posts)will be a war zone. The Powers That Be would love nothing more. It would supply the justification for eliminating more freedoms and liberties.
I am sure you are familiar with the famous poem attributed to pastor Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me.
The question is: Who will they come for first? Looks to me like the black community is being prodded to rebel. Will you speak out?
