Yesenia Barragan is a PhD Candidate in Latin American History at Columbia University, where she is writing her dissertation on freedom and the abolition of slavery in Colombia.

Uh, no.

Yesenia Barragan is a confused leftist fabulist who is auditioning for a cushy job in the racial grievance industry.

I think many of us are due raparations from having to listen to that Grade C rap for all of these years.

Entertaining, but the real problem is liberals lynching of famous black male athletes starting with the NFL.
They hate that black males get off the liberal welfare plantation.

If those black males were on welfare then Dems wouldn’t give a crap if they beatthe crap out of their girlfriends, because blacks on welfare is what they want. The liberal plantation.

If her "Latin American" history is as slanted and tenuous as her grasp of Black history, she's lucky she has a degree at all, let alone a PhD.

All that we hear is black slavery. How about the Indentured servants from Europe that were white?

“During the late 17th and early 18th centuries poor children from England and France were kidnapped and sold into indentured labor in the Caribbean for a minimum of five years, but most times their contracts were bought and sold repeatedly and some laborers never attained their freedom.” From Wikipedia.

What? Absolute silence??????

Yeah, that number is very skewed.

However, as one with first hand knowledge, when black folks make the decision to start coming to court so they don’t receive warrants that sometimes go on their plates, and stop smoking weed in the car, which gives officers PC to search, then this disparity will probably diminish.

Smoke/Transport weed+have warrants= arrest and search of person/vehicle.

Been going on for decades...

I think Lyndon Johnson suggested something quite similar didn't he?

LBJ's dad was a successful businessman who lost his wealth in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

Starting over, he was of very limited means for quite some time and he hired LBJ as a boy, out to work for neighboring farmers and ranchers, and dad accepted payment for LBJ's work.

LBJ agreed with this policy, and much later expressed that agreement when speaking about economic issues and his personal life.

A brief deconstruction of the first paragraph:

During the hot summer days of August, all eyes were on Ferguson. That much is true. Hour after hour, journalists on the scene described the murder ("killing" would be appropriate, but the accusation of "murder" is clearly pejorative) of 18-year-old Michael Brown (she forgot "unarmed"), who was getting ready to start college in just a few days (this has no relevance to the situation), and the unrest that exploded as “shocking,” but for so many black Americans, the scene in Ferguson was all-too-familiar. So, are black Americans all-too-familiar with the death of a black man, or with the rioting, looting, arson, and other mayhem that followed?

The ghost of Ferguson appeared earlier in Sanford, Florida on the night of February 26, 2012, when self-appointed vigilante George Zimmerman murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, armed with just a pack of Skittles and a can of Arizona Iced Tea, (a false narrative, disproven in court) then again later that year in a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida, where 17-year-old Jordan Davis was shot by an older white man because of his loud “thug music,” (to be fair, I do not recall much about this incident, so I cannot state whether she has substantially misstated facts on it) then again in the cold month of February 1999 ("then again" implies moving forward in time, not backward) when four NYPD officers shot and killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed 23-year old year black Guinean man. The only common thread in each instance is the death of a black man. Two were allegedly killed by police officers, one was a clear case of self-defense against an unarmed assault, and the last may have been a white citizen killing a young black man for no real reason.

But the hauntings did not begin in 2014, 2012, or 1999. Not even close. Ferguson is but one moment in the long assault on black lives not only in the United States, but throughout the Americas, beginning with the advent of slavery. Now she is warming to her subject - that being her pet project to prove that slavery was, is, and forever will be the force that prevents any and all minorities from succeeding in this society.

And they wonder why the gap between races appears to be growing.
