APPROACHING 'CRITICAL MASS'?

 The November election was both a mighty relief and a bitter revelation. The reason for the relief is obvious to anyone with an eighth of a brain; the bitter revelation was that a majority of my 'fellow' pasty-faces were quite willing to install a fascist regime! The Georgia runoffs which will probably conclude later today are something quite different: this is a revival of real hope in more ways than one!
First, it's a sign that many different racial groups, especially the African-American women who won the November election and thereby saved the country, have been organizing for real and their efforts are now bearing good fruit!
Second, (and may this be especially heartening to all my fellow 'race-traitors' who saw the same things I did in November and felt the same way), our pasty-faced minority (I mean, among the pasty-faces) might just be approaching 'critical mass' status. I'm not certain about this and anyone can think otherwise but if you do please tell us why. This second reason for hope is big because, if we 'race-traitors' are approaching 'critical mass', guess what that means. It means, from the march toward making equal justice a reality, there will be no turning back! It means that even a majority of our 'fellow' unbaked pasties will not be able to turn things back to the bad old days! Is it too much to hope for that, even those among us to whom racism and bigotry were not deal-breakers are now beginning to understand why they have to be seen as deal-breakers?! OK, I admit it: here's where I might be running away with this; better slow down and steady meself, right?
The Devil, or his most prominent current representative, went down to Georgia lookin' for some votes to steal--and it looks like there were enough of us in Georgia to whom 'equal justice' means all of us and not just those as pale as we, along with relatively new arrivals like Latinos and Asians (btw, Jews are also Asians, from the western end of that continent) led by the strong and beautiful women who have done such glorious organizational work (and who really have, unlike us, no choice but to keep on fighting) to LAY THAT DEVIL DOWN!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
With the Georgia runoff elections. the political future is taking shape! Maybe, just maybe, an all-races, all-faiths, all-sexualities coalition of working people who want a decent deal for themselves and others, including other creatures and ecosystems, is taking shape now! Maybe they will come to understand that rebuilding ecosystems is vital and not naturally opposed to a revived economy which will have enough for all needs but not for everyone's greed, as Gandhi once said!
After the November election, I took a long and relieved breath. Then I felt bitterness welling up as I looked to see who was serious or hypocritical about our country and its promise. Now, I feel both renewed hope for all of us! All us pasty-faced 'race traitors' who just might be approaching critical-mass status and the rainbow of good women and men who are now our leaders on the long march toward 'liberty and justice for all'! America may yet truly be America for us all--for the first time!! May it be so; let's keep on moving to that end, sisters and brothers!!
And let's do what urgently needs doing and waste no time trying to appease those who aren't interested in anything except power and more wealth for their political masters! We've tried that for forty years; has it really worked for the country at all? I suggest it hasn't. So let's drop it and use the power our voters have won for us all!
