This is so true. History is cumulative; it is not cyclical. Today's protests are much more intense and more generalized today than 2014 because of the political failures in substantively addressing the grievances then. Ferguson gave way to protests but nothing on this scale.
i’ve seen quite a few confident predictions of what this unrest means for our politics and i’m here to say that i think we’re in uncharted waters and it is absolutely unclear how any of this plays out. it isn’t 1968, it isn’t 1992, it isn’t even 2016.
