She (and I) is Not Going To The Back Of The Bus!
Few are the speeches that has truly moved me and this clip is one of them.
I was equally moved - into a state of shock - today by a young man's comment, betting that a President Obama will be assassinated. This was a black Canadian who in his misguided pomposity seem to think that bigotry and hatred exists only in the United States.
I beg to defer...as only today I had occasion to literally stare down the hate-filled gaze of a white supremacist right here in Canada!
So, while in the following clip Donna Brazille speaks about the US Presidential election and the sad history of racism in that country - her point(s) is relevant to people of colour across the world.
In fact, it is relevant to everyone one - no matter the skin colour.
Do watch, listen and absorb:
