There are none so blind as those who will not see, because seeing is required, because believing is optional, because seeing is a function of seeing the light, because seeing is a function of focusing the lenses, because seeing is a function of choosing filters, and yes true seeing goes beyond the eyes, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
In the course of human events, there are times that try men's souls now is a time as this, because seeing is often believing, to some because the filters of denial, the filters of disbelief, the filters of minimizing and the filters of silence, are not golden.
There are none so blind as those who will not see, those who will not see the suffering of their fellow man, those who will not hear the cry for justice from their fellow woman, those who will not comprehend the pain of their fellow humans, there are none so blind as those who will not see.
Silence is not golden, silence is not golden, to those who have been terrorized by supremacy, to those who have been marginalized by racism, to those who have been denied by racist laws and practices, silence is not golden.
There are none so blind as those who will not see, those who will not see me, those who will not see us, who suffer a 1000 cuts because of the color of our skin, and not the content of our characters, there's none so blind as those who will not see, those who will not see, those who will not see.
