I'm so done with all these ppl thinking they're gonna change the world with their loud mouths and radical ideas
. I mean, Andrew Young was literally doing the "dirty work" behind the scenes and getting things done without anyone even noticing his name
. He wasn't some flashy civil rights leader, he was a diplomat, a mediator, someone who could get people to work together despite all their differences. And you know what? That's exactly what we need more of in today's world - not just people willing to scream and shout about the issues, but people like Andrew Young who can quietly bring people together.
I'm also so tired of ppl saying that someone is too "well-adjusted" or that they're not radical enough. What's wrong with being a level-headed person who wants to make a difference? Can't we just get along and find common ground without having to be confrontational all the time? I mean, think about it - Andrew Young wasn't some crazy person, he was a smart, calm, and collected leader who understood that sometimes you have to do the hard work behind the scenes in order to make real progress.
And can we please talk about how relevant this is for today's world? We're living in a time where fascism is on the rise and people are getting demonized for speaking out. But Andrew Young's story shows us that it doesn't have to be like that - that with quiet persistence, behind-the-scenes work, and a willingness to listen to others, we can actually make a difference. So let's take a cue from Andrew Young and focus on doing the "dirty work" without expecting everyone else to do all the heavy lifting for us
