I know there are still many race issues between people in America, but I’m so thankful for how far we have come. Stuff like this is just insanity to even think about.

bloody peace be written in the sky. Let a second
generation full of courage issue forth; let a people
loving freedom come to growth. Let a beauty full of
healing and a strength of final clenching be the pulsing
in our spirits and our blood. Let the martial songs
be written, let the dirges disappear. Let a race of men now
rise and take control.

Its sad that this many Americans still don’t see the blindfold over their eyes. The moment that the electoral college looked at the popular vote, and disregarded it and took someone else into office, was the moment it was revealed how fake our voting system is. But y’all keep looking the other way.

Totally unrelated but that is some amazing penmanship. Some real heart and soul went into that sign. Not just some cardboard and a sharpie.

Sadly the last lynching in my state was in my home town after ww2. Pretty sure he was a vet too.

Anyone got any more info on the shot / background?

Imagine fighting and dying for a country that hates you and sees you as less than a dog.
