Calls for civility shouldn't treat demands for accountability as divisive.
Calls for peace shouldn't prioritize silence over seeking justice.
Turning a blind eye shouldn't be viewed as a virtue.

MLK was absolutely right, and it's wild how much this quote still applies today. 
I don't know who needs to hear this, but:
Equality is not inevitable

Social justice isn't a spectator sport because it's not a fucking game.
People are dying, act like it...
