Black Lives Mattering

In America, there's never any good reason to be hopeful about our society changing much for the better, but Black Lives Matter is making a bit of difference now, and perhaps something measurably good will come of it.  After hundreds of years of self-deception and outright violence against blacks and other racial minorities, the reality of American life and American history is starting to seep into the popular culture.  This is good shit, and Black Lives Matter has played an important part in it.  Exceptional America will do everything to shut down the conversation, as it has with attempting to label BLM as anti-Semetic, but maybe there are enough reasonable, intelligent people out there willing to rub a coupla working brain cells together and acknowledge the truth about the society and at then at least stop actively trying to protect the worst elements inculcating the racism and violence pervading our present as well as our past.  Maybe.
