Re: Derek Chauvin guilty on all charges - April 21st 2021, 08:48 PM

While I am overjoyed about the verdict, this was only a small step in the right direction. Make no mistake; justice was not served. Justice being served would be dismantling the entire systemized and institutional racism that PoC (especially black PoC), face every day. What happened yesterday was accountability, which was an amazing thing, because it happens so little in America. But keep in mind Derek Chauvin is one person at the head of a system that has deep, dark roots tied into the fabric of our society, going back four hundred years. It will be hard to overcome that, but I believe people are finally starting to promote change, and that makes me feel hopeful.
