I can't take this anymore.

11. Anger has it's place

While I see what your saying, the op was meant to be a call to action and it's often the anger and the frustration that actually fuel real change. Certainly not always positively but it doesn't mean anger doesn't have it's place in the struggle of for a better future. That anger is real and palpable. It's part of what motivated Malcolm X and Huey P Newton. Not anger itself but an anger at the state of their people. An Anger that the misery is so unnecessary and unjust. While my tone was certainly accusatory it doesn't mean I hate people (well generally speaking, I don't deny a bit of a misanthropic streak) Anyway whatever ends happening to this thread. I'm sincere in what I said and I'm sincere in my inability to tolerate the current state of things anymore. We deserve acknowledgment of our humanity and we deserve full equality. We are not going to get it by not saying that ignorance and apathy causes that current state of inequality. Just as the Civil Rights Movement brought to light the ugly face of White Supremacy so should a M.H. Activism movement bring to light the prejudice of normal people.
