I know

(Maybe?

Being half Hispanic half black minority

Born in the US

I have a unique vantage

Maybe that helps me to know a little

To Understand a little more both sides

But I'm hoping and guessing and wanting to believe

That we all have it in us

To see the other persons point of view for ourselves

To let ourselves step into their shoes

As best we can)


**********

I do honestly, truly value

The customs and traditions of the United States
The laws by which this country was founded

but I also know the heart of the minority

I know that when those laws are not used judiciously

Equally

That you want to scream

That you want to pound your fists and cry

(I think this is all people treated unfairly really

And even some not treated unfairly. Lol)

But my point is.

I get it

It's hard to not get excited.

To let all your emotions out

Because how are you suppose to effect change?

If you can't let people know you want things differently?

Conundrum indead

But the only way

That I've seen from personal Experience

 to ever effect real change in the world

Is to come at the situation

Any situation

With love

It's hard as heck

I will not lie

But it's the only way

Truly.

To come at the problem

With an open heart

Consistently

Not just to those that agree with you

But to everyone in it with you

"You're not alone" as per my wise husband, or in the process of being ex husband (don't ask)

We're all in it together

Right?
