Hello, my name is Jennifer!
The best word to describe me is: Eccentric Favorite historical movement: Civil Rights Movement - They changed the world and they did it with peaceful demonstrations of solidarity and grace.They didn't fight the violence that was directed at them, they endured it with dignity and changed the world. That is what I'd like to see within our movement but today's culture is so ate up about instant gratification. People expect to see results right away, and when the changes don't come on feet aflame they get angry. And each day brings more anger, and soon enough anger is all you know. And with instant gratification it FEELS great to call people names and make your point whatever the cost. Because you know you are right and the other guy is wrong it makes no difference what you say or how you say it. In our fight for equality we are trying to convince an entire nation that we deserve rights, that we are not vile degenerates. We shouldn't have to do this obviously, but because we do it is imperative that we think before we speak and act. That we put the movement before our own personal feelings of anger and indignation, even though we have every right to be both angry and indignant.
