In this world if you want to work toward peace, you have to work toward compromise. It starts with "listening for understanding" versus just "hearing and ignoring."
In my #round2mark3 campaign, I fought for validation of my survival story. The results were a compromise, but I am at peace with the compromise because finally someone listened for an understanding.
In the #BreonnaTaylor campaign, the public outcry was listened to for an understanding. The compromise was a 12 million dollar settlement, changes in the "no knock" law, and some criminal charges. Be at peace that some positive results came from the campaign.
This is where Black leadership could have lead Black America to understand that the Breonna Taylor battle is over, but the war will wage on for all the injustices that we continue to see daily.
There was no need to disrespect the Breonna Taylor package in public. Yell at them behind closed doors that you felt shorted, but that is how a good compromise works when no side is completely happy.
The additional protests after the criminal charges were announced reminded of a racist mindset of "my way or the highway."
As with my #round2mark3 campaign, time to move on to the next fight.
