We are way more powerful when we turn to each other and not on each other, when we celebrate our diversity, focus on our commonality, and together tear down the mighty walls of injustice.

More From Cynthia McKinney

The trouble is that millennials and many recent products of the public schools believe that america was made great, if they're even taught that it's great, if they're taught that it's great, you know what they're told is the reason? diversity. there's diversity all over the world. you can go to places where there is diversity out the wazoo, folks. you can go to places all over the place world and you can find the most diversity, you can find perfect diversity, however you find it. you will not find a united states.
Believe School America
The walls between old allies on either side of the atlantic cannot stand. the walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. the walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; christian and muslim and jew cannot stand. these now are the walls we must tear down. we know they have fallen before.

What i have found is, so much of that is like a chinese finger trap: the more you play to the dark, the more you will get trapped in the dark, and if you just play to the light and focus on the people that don't misunderstand you and focus on the audience that does celebrate you and focus on the people who aren't trying to tear you down, all that other stuff eventually erases itself because it has nothing to feed on.
Dark Light Play
Katherine johnson never complained, it just was what it was. she just said, "i just wanted to go to work and do my numbers." and she stopped right there. i think about that as a black woman in hollywood when i'm asked about diversity. i hate when people say diversity because the first thing you jump to is black and white. when you talk about diversity, you're talking about women being hired in front of and behind the camera. you are talking about people with disabilities, the lgbtq community...so i hate when people think about diversity.
Hate Black And White Thinking
Countless candles dribbled with hot wax, and their flames, like little flags, fluttered in the unchartered currents of air. thousands of lamps, naked, or shuttered behind coloured glass, burned with their glows of purple, amber, grass-green, blue, blood red and even grey. the walls of gormenghast were like the walls of paradise or like the walls of an inferno. the colours were devilish or angelical according to the colour of the mind that watched them. they swam, those walls, with the hues of hell, with the tints of zion. the breasts of the plumaged seraphim; the scales of satan.
Wall Purple Glasses
I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. i don't see this as a good thing. the chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the chinese have embraced the same language and culture. i hope i am wrong about this, and that the flame is still on beneath the great american melting pot. americans need each other, and a house divided, no matter the color of its occupants, is still divided. and divided we all fall.

The theologians also should not be irritated. for if they find that this opinion is false, then they would be free to condemn it; and if they discover that it is true, they ought to thank those who have opened the way to finding the true sense of the scriptures and who have prevented them from falling into the grave scandal of condemning a true proposition.
Fall Would Be Scandal
You expected to be sad in the fall. part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. but you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. when the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.
Spring Rain Fall
Lover," she whispers, and closes her eyes. it falls upon her. love is like dying.

You don't fix a man the way you do a fault in a pipe or a leak in a roof. you take him as he is, mary brenna, or you don't take him at all...adjustments can't be all made on one side, darling, else the balance goes off and what's being built just falls down.
