Change wasn't coming any other way. Some people will argue that we should be patient, that in time things will change for the better. I think this idea is completely ridiculous. Black people are dying to cops all the fucking time and we can't wait patiently as that continues to happen. White inaction is white violence. Many of us are willing to get arrested, seriously injured, or murdered by police in order to help incite change and protect the black folk of this country.
