I agree, with the whole Montgomery bus strike thing, but only to a degree...I just feel like it has to get to Trayvon/Zimmerman levels before cats are ready to take action. But looking at it, that's what it took in the Jim Crow days, people to say ENOUGH of this BS. That bus strike didn't happen overnight. It took many instances of violence and extreme prejudice before Rosa said, "nah, my feet are tired, I'm NOT moving from this spot"
I just think this generation isn't LOOKING for the injustices to fight for, it has become so nonchalant the attitude of "well, it ain't affecting me" the INDIFFERENCE has set in. As long as it's not happening where I'M at, it's cool...I think back then, there was just a LOT more compassion. When we shake the indifference off, THEN real change can and WILL commince
Bold is why I'm not really concerned.
How long did the Jim Crow days last? Most big actions aren't done as result of just one action. It takes sustained build-up. Just because you may feel that you're the only mad one now, doesn't mean the people you're writing off won't be tomorrow.
