It is about time.

But even more so its about time WE start talking about it. And it would be nice to discuss the racial tension without the rest of the world, just us. They dont understand the depth of it here.

I missed all this bs drama. It got blown way out of the water. It is good people express themselves. We are all allowed to be angry and frustrated with this shit by now. I just wish we could put it all on the table and talk about it. It surely isnt gonna go away until we just face it head on.

The rest of the world does not understand it all. Thus far, they've only heard from those who yell the loudest, and believe that those yellers are the word.

It's 'bout time that this all comes to a head, so that all people begin to realize that just because you are yelling loud, it doesn't mean you're telling the truth.

So long as people are still yelling really loud .... there will be no discussions.

Again .. finally, it's coming out, and people will see the truth. Then, perspective will change and we will finally be able to sort this out.

wow .... people block their minds due to societal prejudices. It's sad, really.

Americans have suffered a deep injury, and it's been swept under the carpet because people ..

1. can't get past their own personal feelings, or
2. are blinded to realizing there should be feelings involved.

and it's a vicious circle ... the only thing that has happened thus far is the disgruntled people creating scenes. But, that's just a scratch on the surface.

that's not the truth ... the truth is very deep .. and I'm really glad it's coming to a head so everyone can see. Only when exposed for what it is, will there be the ability to talk rationally about to do about it.

I want progress goddam it .... all this crying over spilt milk pushes de-evolves us in the ability to have real talk.

What is the truth P?

I don't know.

But, I know it's not one voice, or one group of people. Like I said, thus far, the only thing that has been laid on the table is hurt, pain of the disgruntled.

and finally, things are starting to break from the boundaries, and we will be able to get to the truth, and have real talk, real progress.
