    India has a population density of 1264 people per square mile, and the US has 96. With the same density, that would give the US 4.6 billion people. With the current population, you would need 17.5 million people in the streets to match this, but to build that kind of momentum is difficult when your largest city has 8.5 million, and the next, at 3.9 million, is over 2000 miles away.

      if you guys were half as good defending your civil rights as you are making excuses, the whole world would be a better place

        I bet attacking people on the internet makes the world a better place. Some people love to act like things are black and white, and you seem to be one of those people.

          the way I see it, this may be the only option left to incite action… if it works, great; if it doesn’t, we are on the same spot and at least they hear so truth that is overdue

          if you truly believed there is just no way muricans could possibly help themselves, you’d just brush my comment off… but your need to justify inaction tells me otherwise

            Not even going to bother with you except to say you should try to avoid making so many assumptions. You don’t know me or what I have spent my life doing.

              which is why I am not addressing my comment to you but to Americans in general… from the larger group, I can extrapolate behaviour from their actual course of action taken
