A little Sunday-morning inspiration:
I’m not sure if folks are gonna understand what I’m trying to say but I’m gonna try: Too often I hear white liberals talking about how the US is gonna crumble under the weight of the current right-wing nationalism stuff. It tends to have some sort of fatalistic bent to it.

But on behalf of a lot of us non-white folks here in this country, just because y’all think things are fucked and you’re liberal enough to think you kinda deserve it and are ready for the car to drive off the cliff, doesn’t mean we’re ready too. In fact, give us the wheel.

A lot of us have a real American Dream that our families immigrated here for. A lot of us grew up with a hope for a better life for ourselves and our people. Don’t give up because of your lack of imagination. Fight with us to make things truly great for everyone.

If this nation is gonna work, it’s gonna require vision, imagination, & inspiration that may be beyond your current comprehension. My point is, if you think we’re doomed, maybe it means you should step aside, cuz there are a lot of folks who aren’t ready to go down with you.
