When Emancipation comes,
I'll be free.
When Emancipation comes,
No man's gon' spit on me.
When Emancipation comes,
I won't my fear neighbor.
When Emancipation comes
Boss'll pay me for my labor.....
When Emancipation comes.

I've been feeling recently like someone waiting for Emancipation. Every day, there's another story that seems to suggest that freedom (such as it is for people of color) is being hog tied and readied for the market.
Every day there's a new reason to doubt that the Founders' promise of a fair and just America will ever come to be. Every day there's another reason to think about my Second Amendment rights, my First Amendment rights, my RIGHTS. All of them and the extent to which they are recognized here.
This is America. In 2017.
Onward, but to where? I know not.
I'll be free.
When Emancipation comes,
