i am not. i am actually hopeful that the metasization of this terrible thing means we ll actually make a change, and that change will be for all people including the communities i represent, the 52% of black people who live in the south. so when people say they want to write off red states and why don t we separate from them, they re actually talk about a majority of the black population in this country. if people understand their fate is tied to our fate and that whatever is happening and being tried out on marginalized communities is the stuff that they re coming for the whole republic with. so that part feels i don t know if there was any other way to get there. i don t know what would drive tens of millionps of people of all races into the streets in 50 states except the video of the torture and killing of george floyd. it s an awful thing to say about
