Bupkis

This is what we can all expect in terms of changes in race relations, police procedures, socioeconomic conditions, and relations of power. Many Americans believe we have turned a corner, and that all of these things are henceforth going to be very different. The problem with Americans is that they have poop in their heads, and think that outrage is the same as ideology, or astute political organizing. One thing we can be sure of is that there will be no wakeup moment for any of them. They will live in bupkis, and die in bupkis. R.I.P., bupkis.
