At the latest DMH session we watched a couple of videos. One of the video that we watched was a music video. In the video, the rapper was rapping about the Troy Davis case. I'm not sure how many of us are familiar with the Troy Davis case,but if you're not,looking it up is a really good idea because I don't really want to go into it. So,after we watch the video,one of the allies begins talking about how so many of us live in fear and we don't actually stand up for ourselves,etc. One fellow's response to this was that it is impossible for us as residents/citizens to take on the govt. He went on to say they have more power and basically their in control. Hearing him say those things just made me think "Wow,what we consider the impossible is hilarious". I just couldn't wrap my head around how someone could say something so ignorant. I mean think about it you guys,who makes up a country? The people;correct or incorrect? If we.the people,are intimidated by the govt. to the point we're we underestimate ourselves,we're truly lost. Whats next? If we believe that the govt. is in complete control,what will we do when the president proposes a new law like "no Muslim female is allow to cover her head?" Are we going to shut up,sit there,and go the govt. is in control,we must do what they say?
