re: Black people: this can be a defining moment for you

Assuming the Alton Sterling decision is announced today, and assuming there are no indictments, and further assuming that the results of the investigation are announced and say that that Sterling threatened the officers and forced them to make a deadly choice, then I say to you this...

Rise up! Now is the time to come together and let the world know of your power. Now is the time to set the tone for race relations of the future. You know this can't be allowed to continue. This path is disastrous to every black person in America. Now is the time to unite and with one voice say the words that will rock this nation to its core:

"We understand."

I'm trying to imagine how many unicorns and candy canes I'd have to see before believing that there's a snowball's chance in Hades for any of that to happen.
