We've witnessed cultural change take place instantaneously throughout history, given powerful enough circumstances. People are shocked into the realization they are being duped by a corrupt authority when they can no longer deny what is happening before there eyes. When they begin to realize the ruling authority does not have their best interests at heart. I haven't seen a more corrupt establishment in my life time than what we are currently witnessing.

It begins with some shock as people begin to speak out against the corruption. Its just as hard in modern times as ever, especially if you are black to go against the grain and call out the wrongful conduct of this administration. Martyrdom is not uncommon at the start of social movements. Then some disorientation because the masses don't know how to let go of the support being provided by a corrupt authority. Then social movement begins to ramp up and everything changes almost over night. It could happen, and personally I hope it does.

I consider people like Condoleezza to be modern day martyrs. Go ahead shine as much hateful light on her as you want. She handles it with grace and honor. In the process more and more people are able to consider a nobler path.

It is the story of human history: Corrupt authority in one form or another is over thrown, liberating the world's populations from oppression. We've seen Tyrants, Tribal Authority, Monarchs, Religious Authority, Political authority etc. overthrown time and time again as the people of the world continue to reclaim their natural rights. It is inevitable.

"... he will put you on ignore

Ignore is for the frightened who prefer to remain ignorant.
