Thank you Killer Mike from Run the Jewels, who spoke what was in all of our hearts.

We are a nation of immigrants, brought together in a land where the wrongs of the old world were supposed to be corrected in this new world. And we aren’t there yet, and some would say not even close.

And the sadness, outrage and anger felt about Ferguson are increased exponentially by the hollow tone of white privilege. Where black people not only feel sadness, outrage and anger at this verdict, but also are forced to feel fear.

Thank you America at your worst, for reminding us as Penny Rimbaud of Crass says that there is no moral authority but our own.

Thank you America, for on this sad day underlining that we not only can live a life without slaves and without masters, but that we must.

The future is not writ in water, as we are all writing it together with our blood. We write it together, not apart. And as circumstances break us up, as injustices are apparent, as life turns us upside down, we come together as a people, over and over again.
