We are at the Unity Rally by Ruddington Lane Tram Stop.
There are about 100 people with more arriving plus a heavy police presence.
The targeted homes are 10 minutes walk away and they too have a significant police presence.
one day i hope i experience the love that i know i deserve. i hope it comes easily. i hope it’s not an uphill battle. i hope the love between us grows effortlessly, beautifully, as if it’s been waiting for our arrival. i wanna bloom with somebody.
Maturity is when you realize people can't give you what they can't give themselves, so you stop expecting loyalty from people who betray themselves, stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves, and stop expecting peace from people who are at war with themselves.
@evanlapointe@andruyeung So purpose 1 is to help those putting out good do it better? And purpose 2 (or at least another one) is to shift those ‘doing neutral’ to ‘good’? Have I understood correctly?
@evanlapointe@andruyeung Not harsh no. Maybe not as ‘elegant’ or clarifying perhaps as I expected from seeing how you typically express! (High expectations!).
What’s your definition of good?
I meet a lot of people in positions of power who are cowardly and lack integrity.
Don’t envy what they have.
How they must move to retain their status is nothing you would compromise for.
light skin ppl take colorism conversations personally as if it’s an attack on their character instead of looking at it as a societal issue that dictates who gets access to certain privileges and protections.
