Say the same things, cry the tears, and nothing changes. 150 years since Emancipation, and black people are still treated like run-away slaves. Can't walk safely while black, can't drive safely while black, can't sell CDs or cigarettes while black.
The truth is that most of them simply don't.give.a.damn. They got theirs, sucks to be you. How do we take away their money and their power, cause that is the only way we will ever get change?
