9.12 DC TEA PARTY - MARCH FOOTAGE WITH INTERVIEWS (lol)

That is awesome. I wish I could been there to see that.

I was in D.C. for an internship one summer and walked up on a slave reparations demonstration. I hung around for an hour and watched some of the speeches. Not once did I feel threatened or uncomfortable. It also seemed like a celebration of African American culture as opposed to "Fuck Whitey." Good food stands at that gathering too!

 

Whenever I talk to people who are so certain that things are going to hell in a handbasket, that we're going to have revolution, that it's all going to explode, I can't help but think of examples like that.

In 1991 the majority of Americans disapproved of mixed race marriage. Now we've got a president who is the product of one.

People get too hung up on the differences and wax too much nostalgia for times that never existed. It's a great time to be alive.
