and we do it in the face of violent opposition, or we fail.

This reminds me AGAIN of the NASCAR driver Tyler Reddick



He said he didnt care about backlash, and it could have been devastating, but he didnt care. The people who run NASCAR now and most of the drivers are NOT the old racist pricks we think of.

We have to be willing to risk our comfort and opposition...the ONLY reason I was not at recent protest was the virus, otherwise that is a given for me personally. I wear BLM t shirts in public whenever I can, which is a small thing but not necessarily given certain people.

Anyway, thanks for the OP.
