Thanks for responding to my post Native_son. It is true that this kind of stuff happens everyday all over the world to our people. We had an immigrant Afrikan gunned down in a hail of 41 bullets. Nineteen bullets hit him and there were bullet wounds in the bottom of his feet. These cops were found to be justified for shooting this brother because he had a wallet in his hand. His name was Amadou Diallo and he was law-abiding in every respect of the word. The only thing Afrikans could do was protest but it produced nothing.
The problem most corrupt cops have is rooted in a mindset that stereotypes black people as criminals. It doesn't matter what your education, income, or your position in life. In America, if you are black, many white minds
have been trained to fear you and not trust you as a human being. In some cases, a black person's presence reminds some people of the slavery that built this nation. Many of us still act like slaves and some of us have taken cowardice to new level. No ethnic group in recorded history has been through what we've been through, and are still going through, so many of us are brain-contaminated by white supremacy.
Many people don't respond to these situations because they think that it can't happen to them, but they are wrong.
We have to form an active alliance around the world and boycott cities that allow these injustices to go unpunished.
