Eric, Steve:

Figure this out man! People of all stripe need a cause to latch onto which strongly denounces the inequalties that still exist today, but begins from from a place of equality and unity.

But the world as it is today needs that message to come from a Black person. I know that is an unequal thing for me to say... but it is true. if it comes from any other source regardless of the correctness of the message, it will be seen as yet-more colonial control.

Notice the legitimate rage from folks of all stripe that funnel into BLM. It is heartening, but that org does not share your vision... it does share your correct appreciation of the injustice, just not your vision of the solution.

How can one channel righteous rage from all sides toward unity? We need our MLK of *today* !!!

(says the white dude on the side lines)

p.s. you know Eric, MLK also had a PhD... I am just saying :-)
