THOUGHTS ABOUT FLAG KNEE AND FIST

THOUGHTS ABOUT FLAG KNEES AND FISTS – moving from the expression of pain to relief Today’s debate, as in days past, is fundamentally about the presence of pain versus ignoring that pain exists. Equal justice for all in America is at best an intended reality or at worse a conscious lie. The American flag has been imbued with equal-justice-for-all as though it is a reality. The pledge to the flag is affirming that justice for all is a reality; that is obviously not true. So the pledger is lying whether he or she is conscious of it. Protesters, whether violent demonstrators, marches, sit-ins, kneelers, or closed fists, are calling a lie out, uncovering a lie for what it is: a lie. Many whites who choose to believe the lie are particularly angered when blacks lead a protest. It’s as though blacks should have no right to call a lie a lie – especially an American lie. I applaud protesters, whatever the chosen tool; but there is a need for another group to join the fight for economic social political and legal justice for all Americans. That group must be made up of those skilled in the crafts and science of Solution. Solutioners would translate the pain of Protesters and formulate remedies for that pain. www.adolphusward.net
