So what is it about the truth that keeps you from doing what is right? Have you become comfortable with the violence and soft activism? Or is it that since it is not in your neighborhood it really isn’t your problem?
After a month of people talking about what happened to Trayvon and taking pictures of themselves with a hoodie on people seem to have grown tired and are changing their profile pictures back to “normal” ones. I’m not criticizing people for it instead it’s an observation to the attention span of our society around issues of violence within our society. There are whole organizations built around ending the violence in other countries, but the most we can do is deal with it for a month and move on with the expectation that our police authorities will make the right choice. The day that the shooter in this case is NOT held accountable, people will rise again for a quick protest and within a couple of weeks all will be forgotten.
What will it take for YOU to care longer than a month?
Peace/AMOR
