 Apparently Black boys cannot be victims in the United States. Or so a South Florida court has coldly told the world. The 6-member jury accepted that Blackness 'reasonably' invokes fear & lethal responses to it. If so, where are Black boys to go to be safe? In the course of the trial, the judge forbade a discussion of Racial Profiling and thus eliminated the opportunity for it to be the trial it needed to be: one that challenges the construction of Blackness as dangerous. I have no illusions about a broken criminal justice system that daily destroys more than it builds, but even it needs to "perform" at times just to legitimate itself. No cover left for its blatant biases - blackness seems to pierce the blindfolds of America's Lady Justice.

There is no liberty in ignorance. Just an excuse of a system that doesn't work. And never did work. And never will. There will be no true revolution until we take control of our fear. And live love in our hearts. And peacefully take the country out of the Bankers (Zionist) grasp. And free our minds of everything we think we know. 6/20/2016 10:01:26 am
It`s awful situation. The judge forbade a discussion of Racial Profiling. This musn`t happen in civilized, democratic society. 2/20/2017 11:36:10 pm

The topic of racial conflicts last very long though many countries and try to avoid this, but the question remains unsettled. Leave a Reply. |
