“If “We” Dont Get What We “Want” we will Burn Down the #System.”
The Black Lives Movement of Geeatwe NYC Hawk Newsome according to Fox said that “If we don’t get what we want we will burn down the system”.
There’s a difference between wants and need. What “we” want? Now I believe there is some traction in the right direction but there has to be more and then to be seen. There is still this dialogue between police and community that must happen and there must be a focus on healing as well. Then there has to be community engagement before a smart pants in the house just meet in chambers push out a bill without having deliberate and meaningful discussions with their constituents. Now we cant allow the conversation of change and reform to delve into them vs Us and threats of violence; we only dumb down the arguments and process of change and redraw battle lines as if to brace for civil war. Further when you Burn everything down, what and who is... left? Change won’t happen, effective and lucrative and lasting change won’t occur when we are or sound divided or pivot toward people’s differences and race which labels although society create and maintain the idea of race by discriminating against Black people. It is society’s own doing but let there be sense that prevail and utilize the tool most effective in changing the status quo - galvanizing mass support, bridging divisions and utilizing that flood of support from all sides to press for change. That’s the more effective way.
