[Thespiritexpress] Focus on the "Why" not the "What"

[Lydia Ruby Shepard]

Thanks for forwarding this clip, Ron.  I am almost shaking in my boots.  Very much affected by her pain, honesty, rightful indignation, clarity, reference to how when blacks were so succesful in those two places I had never heard of, how these were destroyed by whites.  I am learning anew about asking "Why", not "What" and the monopoly game--masterfully illustrated.  I felt like I was drowning, gasping for air.  Fortunately I'd also just listened to Obama and other young leaders, which left me with some hope.

~~~~~We are just coming out of a week of incredible unrest across the country ~~ I just heard that the rioting and looting is slowing down but that does not mean there are as yet any solutions to unrest or changes in the mindset of racism~!   All of this is happening in midst of the Pandemic that has spread around the World ~~~ and if this is not enough there is political unrest as well~.

~ This clip below is exceptionally powerful and to the point ~~~  I know that all of this has sent currents of unrest throughout the World with thousands of protesters in cities filling streets~.  There are very good reasons and this woman tells it like it is from a very deep emotional state~~~~This is a deep issue in my cellular tissue as well ~~~ I marched for civil rights in the 60’s in support of Martin Luther King like many others ~~ I did civil rights work in the South and narrowly escaped with my life in Macon County, NC when the vigilante committee came to teach us a lesson…

~ I’m wondering how everyone is doing ~~ are you effected~?  What are you feeling~?

This woman cuts to the core of systemic racism.
