“If we don’t solve this, we are going to implode. This is the last chance for the change... The mess is everything. This is physical disease, moral disease, spiritual disease.... social disease... environmental disease.. its all come to a full head at the same time, and guess what? We don’t have a choice.” These wise words came from my friend Toni. She is a black woman who grew up w a civil right activist mother who actually attended school with Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King. Toni is smart. She is wise. She is successful. She is beautiful inside and out. She told me a story about how she thought she was getting pulled over recently while driving and the fear she had for “driving while black...” She ran me through the check list a black person must think about while being pulled over, even if they are completely innocent. She gives a detailed breakdown of where the systemic racism lives in America and why she has hope that the young people may actually be the change we need in this world.
