Well, I Like Songs That Have Like A Little Bit Of Quirkiness To Them.

A Just Society Is Not One Built On Fear Or Repression Or Vengeance Or Exclusion, But One Built On Love. Love For Our Families. Love For Our Neighbors. Love For The Least Among Us. Love For Those Who Look Different Or Worship Differently. Love For Those We Don't Even Know.

And It's Fallen Disproportionally On Black And Brown Communities, Especially Black Communities, And It's Kind Of A Manifestation Of Structural Racism.
