It’s been a few weeks because the Montgomery, Alabama brawl, and I’m nonetheless in shock by what occurred on that day. That brawl really showcased the state of America and simply how divided we’re as a nation. I’m not a fan of violence, but when it comes right down to defending your self, then violence should be the response.
Not too lengthy after this incident, many individuals took to the web to mock what occurred. I’ve seen many comical movies from individuals reenacting what occurred, training within the gymnasium with chairs, to even utilizing clips from The Avengers, and a lot extra. Don’t get me mistaken, the movies are humorous, nonetheless, is that this how will cope with critical occasions such because the Montgomery brawl? Is that this how America copes with the devastation that unfolds earlier than us?
Comedy is nice, however is America really coping with the problems we must always tackle? I imagine that if we really concentrate on these points and actually take into consideration the basis of all of it, it’s a lot to cope with. I can’t say if this was an act of racism, or if it was an act of hatred. I don’t know the way the brawl began as I used to be not there, however I did see loads of movies and comedy apart, it’s heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking to know that violence appears to be the reply today when easy communication can nonetheless be efficient. It’s additionally laborious to see America deal with these points via humor.
I can’t assist however take into consideration what our ancestors would say concerning the state of our nation. How would they really feel seeing the previous nonetheless alive in 2023. The identical fights that they have been preventing, are nonetheless points we’re nonetheless coping with.
As a mother or father of young children, what am I elevating my youngsters in? What future will they’ve? I fear about them on a regular basis. There may be a lot detrimental happening on the earth that it’s laborious to see something optimistic today. How do I clarify these sorts of occasions to them as they grow old? I’m not certain what the reply is to any of my questions, which is unsettling, and I don’t think about most of our world leaders. So, what will we do?
