Current mood: contemplative

Do you know,
ts so deep to be ALIVE in this moment.

My friends know that Im a biracial American woman born on April 3rd 1968.
Rev. MLK Jr. was killed the day after I was born.
My white mother and black father were thrown into a time of turmoil.
Many of us online are too young to know, and the books dont tell:
there were RACE RIOTS when I was a baby.
When MalcolmX was killed and when Rev. King was killed we faced the
end of America for a few moments.

Seriously guys, look it up, ask your (grand)parents about this.

The current emergency is more subtle, and most dire. (REALLY TRUELY its BAD today)
I can personally compare these past three-four administrations to what I remember of President Carter.
Carter personally (with Rosilyn) BUILDS HOMES FOR POOR PEOPLE.

How different we have become!
Why dont ALL former presidents do public service to the homeless and poor?
It would be incredible.

Anyway, I remember Nixon being impeached and taken away (in a great helecopter) and my family passionately sitting together all discussing the impeachment of that president for being a crook, a filthymouthed person, a cruel and mean man. Gangster pure and simple.
Well, we have NO IDEA what is said in the White House today.

Weve lost America.
but! We can rebuild her. (like the show said, "we have the technology")
and we have HOPE , BRAVERY, and JUSTICE.

If you know not the day nor the hour - lets take this hour and this day to be fully HUMAN and ALIVE

like they say, Si Si puede....Yes, we CAN.
