So I'm feeling the youth are done with the religious pacifier in the mouth.
I actively seek out conversations that are ATTEMPTING to ACTIVATE members of the ♾️ #B1 community.
We may not be able to do EVERYTHING but we can do SOMETHING! We should start where we are and do what we can. Even if it's passing out peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to BéBé'$ kids.... ... .....

    Cats are seeing that it’s not working and moving to a different tactic. It’s about time.

    I appreciate this perspective.

    We need to have a sense of obligation to ourselves, like, do we want to see ourselves win??? It can seem like things are stacked, truly, but there are things that we can do , ...

    I spoke to a Japanese woman who told me we (Americans) were dumb bc we bought Japanese cars and didn't support our own industry. I saw a documentary where a Jewish woman (white) was telling other Jews that they needed to have an obligation to buy Jewish and support Jewish, marry Jewish. I can't blame her. That's how they got to positions of influence and power, with ability to move lobbies etc.
