If you have a short attention span jump to 8:50... but please try to enjoy the honesty of the whole thing. My favorite comedian of all-time provides a level headed and thought provoking closing to a wonderful set. Today felt like the demand that Chappelle calls for... a positive movement that will continue to make the american experiment great.
Seeing all the powerful women in my "community" was inspiring. Not so long ago, in an age I thankfully never had to live through, women were allowed to speak only when spoken to. Today they march with pride and solidarity for a better future, doing their best and urging others to do their's to unearth any masked prejudice inklings in our society. Today felt like a celebration, call to arms, and reminder of the 15th and 19th amendments. We have come so far.
Today was also a reminder that the work of ensuring equality for all people is never over. There is never a good enough and there never will be. We as humans deserve respect and demand equality... and not just on paper.
You make me proud
