To appeal to civil rights agencies, such as the NAACP or the Legal Action groups, is often futile. White supremacist policies and laws set the bar set so high as to permit only specific cases of the most outrageous, that is, murder at the hands of police or vigilantes, to be brought to the attention of the courts. Good luck if you try an appeal to Aging Disability and Resource Centers or even tenant Rights resource centers. They are overworked, underfunded, and this isn't unintended on the part of a capitalist system that doesn't do so well when it comes to serving and protecting anyone but the wealthy and powerful, let alone Black Americans ! In the meantime, the countless, day-to-day violations of Black citizen's rights are silenced.
Bear it and grin while you're at it!
Looking to policies and laws that recognize Black as the terrorist rather than recognize the practice of white terrorism must be changed and not reformed, but erased and replaced with humane and democratic laws practicing social justice as a norm.
The white supremacy of capitalists upholds the racism of the many.
I don't believe we can change the mindset of those Americans committed heart and mind to hate and the oppression of others. For all their electronic gadgets and weaponry, Americans can't take up the short time we have to confront a pandemic and a warming planet, with people who won't bulge. We are our own protection. We must collectively change the system that chokeholds us in its entirety. The mindset of young Americans and future generations is counting on us.
Nothing is certain, but inaction is surely death.
