I'M GLAD I TOOK PART IN FERGUSON PROTEST MARCH IN HOUSTON TODAY---STUFF IS BROKEN

I'm glad I went to the Ferguson protest march in Houston this evening. 

There was a cross section of people and what seemed to be many students from the U. of Houston and Texas Southern. The police were for the most part restrained. 

The issue is more than Michael Brown. Though he matters a great deal. It's the entire economic and justice system. Stuff is broken. 


The terrible turnout in the election this month was a vote of no confidence for how our country is going. 

I did my bit today even though it was a bit tense at times. I'd ask people to please consider what they can do outside their comfort zone. 

It's clear that things are messed up in this country and that we can't count on our political leaders for solutions.

THE LARGER CONTEXT OF FERGUSON, MISSOURI---EVERYTHING IS AT STAKE IN OUR POLITICAL & CULTURAL CONFLICTS

11/24/2014

I don't know what will happen in Ferguson later this evening--Any violence would not be helpful--but American history is seeped in violence. We've had hundreds of years of terroristic violence by many whites towards blacks and people of color. These are the facts. 

As we debate eliminating health care for millions over 4 words and as we see our political process bought by secret money, there is no point in holding back about what is stake in our current political and cultural conflicts. 

We need to ask sharp questions about the direction of the nation & we need to start asking about how we are going to defend ourselves.
