“A riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear?” — Martin Luther King, Jr.

This country cannot change.

There will be no appeals by me to stop the protests or the looting in Minnesota, as the the people react to the murder of George Floyd. Black and brown people in the United States have been murdered for centuries with impunity by the state apparatus or with its blessing, while whites look on from the sidelines, wringing our hands, squawking about civility and discourse.

America needs to atone for its sins. Maybe it needs to burn?
