We learn so little from history…

On the top: Remains of a church firebombed by the KKK in Mississippi, 1964
On the bottom: Mt. Zion Church fire, South Carolina, TONIGHT.

Fifty years.

Over FIFTY YEARS we’ve been dealing with this shit and we’re still stuck in a world where far too many people can’t see past the color of a persons skin.

We’ve come so far technologically and scientifically. Culturally though it seems like we’re still stuck in the conflicts of the past. Funny thing is, when I was back in high school in 1997 I actually felt like we’d moved past this kind of putrid hate. Yet 18 years into the future, here it is, staring me in the face again.

What the fuck is wrong with us?
