MLK Day

This is my kind of holiday. A mix of elation over what has changed with pangs for what had to happen to get there, and how far we have to wade through the same old shit.

Yeah, it's better but why can't we just go all the way since it's clear that ultimately "We Shall Overcome" - so why not NOW?

Do all those crackers think they can stop this? Give it up you redneck fools - you lost!

Love.

It's a bit hard for me to imagine what those times were like. Movies, books, and the like really don't capture the raw feelings - and I'm glad I missed it honestly.

I glad to work alongside many ethnicities as a software guy - and other than some language issues - it's great. I'm not naive to think racism is *gone*, but we're certainly climbing out of Plato's cave.
