Not everyone can be a hero‚ but I agree with Gransberg that at least a call should have been made‚ especially when someones’

For ten long minutes‚ a group including myself stood around idly while two men fought. In the same manner in which all 38 people stood around and watched‚ Kitty Genovese get murdered right before their eyes. Although people have stood by and let crimes happen‚ they should take it upon themselves to alert someone because it’s ridiculous how people can watch a crime happen and stand by and do nothing. It was in Yokosuka‚ an annual rain-or-shine two-day music festival held in Japan. I remember it like

"When the flood waters recede‚ the poor folk along the river start from scratch." In Richard Wright’s "The Man Who Saw the Flood‚" the catastrophic flood-losses facing a poor family of sharecroppers reveal the circumstances that force the emancipated but still ignorant and debased blacks to become indebted to and thus re-enslaved by the same whites from whom they received freedom.
