Has society become to complacent or is there nothing left to fight for?

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.

I've been thinking about this a lot since the Zimmerman verdict, truthfully I was expecting full scale rioting in Flordia and around the country, so I was surprised when nothing happened. Then I started thinking about how we live in a society where tv, Internet, and others luxuries have become commonplace in American households where life seems infinitely better here than say a 3rd world country, while a lot of people here a struggling to pay bills and can rarely afford to take a vacation or find time to pursue their real passion in life and force themselves to be stuck in a career and life they find unfulfilling they still have a roof over their head a means of transportation and communication (the average person does at least) so we take this in stride because we feel that even though the system is bullshyt and our goverment can do a lot better for the people if they wanted to is still not worth taking a risk to protest and sacrifice the contentness of their life? My question I guess would be is it worth it? Is the injustice we face cause enough to actually get up and do something about or is it that necessary evil we have to deal w/ to live in relative comfort?


It's a spiritual battle going on.They want your mind and soul.

I actually think the Zimmerman case was a psyop.A test to see just how complacent we've become.

Fake news is the new propaganda.It always has been, but now they have the technology to make that shyt even more awesome.

IMO, Sandy Hook, Aurora theater shooting, and the Boston Bombing were all fake.All aimed at gun laws and creating boogeyman terrorist that they have to "protect" us from.They want you to live in fear.It makes it easier to control you.
