I am seeing revolution and I shine

Last week there was a situation that occured in a meeting broadcast on You-Tube. The young Senator had had enough and the dam broke. He called out the steady diet of racist comments, but moreso, the actions that are encouraging an underclass. In America an Asian man thought that a young black boy was stealing a bottle of water and shot and killed him. African Americans decided finally to stop buying from Chinese stores...their salons, their groceries, their restaurants. This happened when an asian man took to Tik Tok and dared black people to boycott asian stores. He was confident that they could never do it, and so, his dare was met. The stores are now empty, and black Americans are going further by making certain that other black people KNOW who, what, where the black businesses are. WHen the George Floyd situation happened, I began looking at that very question and I found a great list of African American businesses in America. In my country, I have a much smaller list, I do my part, but I do not discriminate against anyone who may have a product that I need. However, it hurts today to think that some people who take the money of people of color call them cockroaches and worse. It is time to draw the line that has to be drawn.
