you dumbfuck, it was the Inglewood police.
The LAPD has actually made minute progress.
The LAPD has actually made minute progress.
Yea, they've made great progress since Rodney King.
You dumbass.
You dumbass.
i think maybe the person meant greater progress in terms of their ability to deal drugs and intimidate innocent people.
As an ebony woman living in America. it finally occurred to me
the problem of police brutality is a symptom of a dark evil mental disease that has been circulating thoughout the U.S.A for over 300 years without any real hope of
resolution.( hopefully I'm wrong) I am deeply disturbed with the current state of racial relations here in the U.S that I'm seriously considering a move to Europe or Canada.
THE NEW KKK IN AMERICA - ARMED AND DANGEROUS
What's even more frightening is the fact that " KKK in Blue" AKA "White Police Officers" are supported, protected and
defended by the white majority and the American Justice System for any acts of brutality against blacks.
The irony here... The American justice system of yesteryear also defended, acquitted and fully protected Klansmen for unspeakable atrocities they commited against
Black Americans ... after all the were justified in ridding the community of one more ">>>>>"
So how far has America come since the notorious days of the KKK? Not very far, I'm afraid.
Today, police brutality is nothing short of a shift from white men in white to white men in blue. What's even more
disturbing, the current climate mimics the days when the Klan experienced wide acceptance by the white populace.
Likewise police brutality for the most part is totally accepted and defended by White America.( at least the majority)
Their continued silence is clearly acceptance.
So when will the American Leaders/Sport Stars/Celebrates - stand up to America and call the ugliness of police brutality
WHAT IT REALLY IS - "THE NEW, SAFER, WIDELY ACCEPTED WAY TO LYNCH >>>>>'" (pardon the expression, but that's what
the majority of white Americans think when they see this happening over and over again and just turn the other way.
Has the President denounced it? How about religious leaders? What about celebrity figures? Hmmm - no one, except for a few black
voices) makes one wonder about the relevance of Black Americans in this country.
Black, Brown & White America has become complacent on the ongoing war for civil rights. The 1960's accounted for a battle fought
and won, ( for every other minority and White females) but I'm afraid Black Americans lost the war.
New Leaders (Black/White/Brown)must emerge, eloquent, strong, powerful voices with innovative and creative minds----
Marketing Geniuses, with the ability to reframe the ugliness of police brutality on blacks in a way to bring real attention on a global scale.
If America do not care... we must make them care!
The approach, has to be revolutionary, Pro-active not reactive and yes controversial and it will be!
It should be unconventional and yet non-confrontational. It must go farther that political incorrectness to a moral imperative. It should challenge, America's beliefs and find it at the core of its being- past all the hidden agendas, the self-imposed white superiority beliefs, stereotypes and biases.
Like MLK, we must be able to champion the cause of the ongoing injustices still suffered by Black Americans in this country- We must boycott the American Media (namely the entertainment side although the news side is not much better, but frankly, the news media is a necessity in this campaign - a necessary evil) we must wage an all out war against poverty, crime and poorly educated black youths. We must fight for the cause of the Ebony Woman and defend her womanhood, We must fight for absolute acceptance into mainstream America.. these and other measures must be taken to ensure
the survival of the Ebony race here in America... if not, I'm afraid we are at the brink of the annihilation of a people.
First Item in the "WAR" against "The New KKK IN AMERICA" - is a powerful, provocative, well designed website, over publicized, calling attention to this serious issue on a national and global scale.
I read somewhere on the net, I'm paraphrasing - The future will not be whites against blacks but everyone else ( whites and other ethnicities ) against blacks.
I wouldn't want to live in that America. I'll probably, would have to move back to my island home in the Caribbean or select a location in the Mediterranean, Europe or Canada and say Goodbye to an America and with good reason.
In conclusion, these are my thoughts on the troubling issue of Police Brutality on the Ebony People here in the U.S.A. I hope these words will rise from this email and find their way
on a whirlwind of creative energies to incite someone to act... to act before it becomes to late.
