I agree. If people want change they need to BE the change in the world. Nothing changes when you wait for others to make it happen. We start with ourselves & our communities & it grows from there. You can't outlaw hate. You can rise above it. In reply to Mcfly559.

Blm is a joke the organization only shows up when a cop kills a black individual. What about when a 5yr old lil girl killd in her bed or 67 black Americans are shot in one weekend where is black lives matter then? All the black ownd shops that got burned to the ground.

I am proud of each and everyone of these marchers. I hear their voices, I acknowledge their pain and despair, I understand their need to be heard, to be understood and I am in awe of their bravery. Yes bravery because large segments of the San Joaquin Valley are known for their sympathetic leanings toward white nationalists and their ilk. Change is coming but I fear that the San Joaquin Valley will be the last to "accept" any change....they will fight to keep the status quo. Its crazy ..... the status quo doesn't work for them as well but they only see life through dimly colored prisms.
