(1,846 posts)I'm a 51 year old white guy. I confess I had no idea it is as bad as it is for my countrymen in black communities.
We all need to make these issues voting issues and get these racists out of our lives! The fact that white folks are ignorant is a huge part of the problem...
I am truly sorry that I have allowed myself to be blinded. This institutional racism must STOP!
I am DEVASTATED by the notion that how people are policed depends on race.
WTF is wrong with these politicians and cops? People are people! Kids are kids! If they wanted to get Michael Brown on the sidewalk they should have talked to him like he was their son! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!?
We all are "disappointed" that our young ones do not behave as adults at times.....but we DO NOT kill them in response!!! WTF!!!!!!?
I can't believe we are here in 2014....I hope and pray our kids vote these racists out in the coming years....
I apologize for my ignorance...my best wishes to Michael Brown's family. My hope for them is that the loss of their son can be an instrument for positive change.......
