On this 50th Anniversary of MLK's March on DC.

I found it while reading a disturbing story about how 25 black patrons were not seated at a NC Wild Wings Cafe due to the protestation of a single seated patron...

How to properly address racism when encountered among your customers:

"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

1. I wish I could believe that

But I can't. Justice seems almost random.

2. There are days when that arc seems flatter than Kansas. n/t

3. Remember, the horizon is flat, but the Earth is round.

The arc does exist, but it is long. We may not see the end result, but we have to continue to work for it, keep the vision of it clear in our minds. There is no alternative.

We will win because there is no alternative to that either. Justice, truth, decency always win eventually. Always. History bears it out. But its that long arc that can make us lose heart; don't let it.

5. things happen in cycles. We will always have times of justice and times of injustice.

That's what gives me hope that we can one day take back some of what the 1% have taken from us. The sad side to that coin is of course even if we do take back what has been stolen from us, one day it will happen all over again.

4. It doesn't always

but I think we are very fortunate to live in a time and place where it has, in many important ways. To keep it going takes the will of everyone.
