How has the police historically used violence to create and enforce the category of “people of color?” Why do some people tell us to wait and be patient for society to change, when we stand on the benefit of generations before us that were impatient and fought to change things for the better? The movement of protest is representative of the United States because “every community” is standing in solidarity in support that Black lives matter. Is this the beginning of revolutionary change? “A taste of freedom is what I long for…”- Denise Spencer We owe the mass movement of uprising our hope. How did the Covid-19 shelter in place protocols create a population of greater awareness? How do we make peace with the contradictions of aspiration stories of liberty and freedom, while understanding that the United States was built on legally supported inequality? Can the police be both good and bad? What is the effect being able to prove police abuse through video? Racism is a mechanism of control to help the people in the money maintain their status. The increments of change that we have seen in our lifetime come from the type of revolutionary action we see today. This is not the time to throw up our own roadblock in our minds, we must the people fighting for a better world. We owe it to people protesting on the streets, to let go of our [academic] rhetoric and join them. The days of oppression will end, we demand police reform. Why did the White House put a second fence?
