For some reason this reminds me of an interview with Prof Loretta J Ross on Christine Amanpour..it can be found on utube..probably because she knows about the 'burning house'. So much wisdom in the interview. Thank you for writing this..it so revealing of the struggles of real change makers.
Jacqui, I cry and my heart races as I read this. I seem so helpless, 72 yrs in VERY small Arkansas town. I am WITH you, but how do I be WITH you, fighting this fire? My voice, so insignificant.
Phyllis your voice is one gift you have. Share what you read and what inspires you with friends. Find your people and amplify each other's voices. Sending love.
I’m going to have to fight these fires from afar. I have spent 40 years of my 54 years being a firefighter. Time to rest. Moving overseas and wishing my home country well during this dark period of history. My ancestors build the world. I plan to go and see more of it before my knees give out. America doesn’t deserve anymore of my brilliance.
How tired are black women of being the moral conscience of America? I'm way on the outside and I'm tired *for* them. But I'm also swimming in despair lately.
I am so tired. I am SOOOOO tired. and I am impatient. So I'm going to swim toward the shore, and look for goodness there. Sending you love and hope that we can overcome.
Was just thinking that poor ppl in other nations have learned to band together and support one another. That’s why civil resistance works so much better in other places, bc they are unified.
If we stopped the culture wars and focused on class solidarity, we could stand against the evil greedy dragons destroying our nation and our planet.
Jacqui - this is beautiful and right on. The house is on fire. We have to be the fire fighters. Right on and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you Kathy!!
"We all do better, when we all do better. "

Thank you. I wish I had known King; I wish I could have been in these conversations.
This what I needed to read this morning. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Elizabeth.
