Bloody Sunday

Selma was 50 years ago today.

Longer than I've been alive. Longer than a lot of people here have been alive. This shit should be settled already. We shouldn't be having bullshit arguments with people who think that skin tones affect a person's inherent value.

Show the world what you do with your hands, not what color they are. That should be all that matters.

It takes a long time to change some things--generations. I look at fifty years and think how radically different things are now. We're not there yet. I don't think we will be for a couple of centuries, and there will still be pockets of poison left to be drained. But my god, look how far we've come!
