(2,218 posts)Implicit in the bravery and cross race solidarity these white women show, is a cold, knowledge of what we expect from our guardians.

(7,220 posts)proves beyond a doubt to any thinking person: America is a shockingly racist country. Because the whole country would go ballistic if those white women were attacked by police, now wouldn't they? It doesn't even need to be said. But the black people...not so much. I think that's also been proven beyond a doubt.

(7,814 posts)the police should join the women. And some of the onlooker union workers should line up. Then the church-going teachers. Then veterans. That would be something.
And then all that has divided us will merge
And then compassion will be wedded to power
And then softness will come to a world that is harsh and unkind
And then both men and women will be gentle
And then both women and men will be strong
And then no person will be subject to another's will
And then all will be rich and free and varied
And then the greed of some will give way to the needs of many
And then all will share equally in the Earth's abundance
And then all will care for the sick and the weak and the old
And then all will nourish the young
And then all will cherish life's creatures
And then all will live in harmony with each other and the Earth
And then everywhere will be called Eden once again.
+ Judy Chicago
Tonight the Kentucky women and Judy Chicago are my inspirations.
