Until black Americans come to grips of the denial they are living, that they have fathers, brothers, sons that have a dark side to them that they do not expose to the ones they love, then there will be no peace.
Michael Browns family did not want justice, they want revenge, the same base emotion that drives them to tell the police “we did not see anything” or “we will handle this our way” when another black man shoots down another black man.
Now they are infuriated that they cannot make that revenge happen, that they will have to wait on the justice system, no matter their threats, which have been made from gang members all the way to state senators.
I mean really, does anyone have any doubts that Darren Wilson would have been murdered on the spot if he had stayed on duty?
Frankly, I am surprised they didn’t kill another officer by mistake, they damn sure burned down the wrong convenience store..
This entire area will suffer because of this and you can try to blame it on “white police just don’t know how to talk to black people” or “there needs to be a police force that is the same color as the citizens” but in the end it boils down to a cultural inability to rationalize and not be so uncontrollably emotional.
He would have been murdered and it would have been local news only. Nobody nationally would have said a thing.
This is about keeping victim status, despite blacks holding the top office in the land for 5+ years now.
Blacks were ticked at Obama. Did nothing for them. Brought in Hispanics to take their jobs. Worst unemployment ever.
So here’s a nice distraction just in time for November elections.
