What America teaches Black Children

The observation that police so infrequently pay the price for their fatal impulses, often justified by the legal catchall of being afraid, is at once very significant but also very tiring. One gets to asking, when will it end? The fundamental ethical failures of our law enforcement and judicial systems are readily apparent to all but the least empathetic or morally attuned.

But for all the overhauling our systems clearly need, there is something else awful in what seems to be the unending destruction of black life at the hands of the state - the education children receive in the process of state-sanctioned killings of loved ones and of those who look like them, only bigger.”

For us blacks, America is paradise compared to how Africans and Caribbean nationals are treated in their own countries.

When they shoot your (or your's) a$$, we might not have the pleasure of your reaction when we post, "I told you so".
