Watching "And Still I Rise" on PBS, thinking about "how far we've come".
Looking at how we've all lost a lot of ground in general the last 20 years, but knowing if I've lost a lot, then there's a shitload of black folks who're losing everything.
Some are being pushed into depressed neighborhoods with fewer jobs and shittier schools, and stuck in the whirlpool of ignorance poverty and crime that sucks an awful of the people into what's become a Coin-Operated Prison System.
And it occurs to me - intentionally or not, we're in the process of enslaving black people for the 3rd time.
Gotta be something better.
