Confronting problems is a messy affair. Anger, hatred, open racism can be very ugly and that is exactly their intent. Be so ugly, that good people turn away and leave others to deal with it. Only the “others” don’t exist — it’s just us.

America is a standard; a Brand that has lifted up many others. Right now, it feels like the 7th round in the Rumble in the Jungle. We need “Ali” to get off the ropes and KO “Foreman.”

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (and women) to do nothing.”― Edmund Burke
