Racism is baked right into the foundation

racism is asphalt, racism is a bullet

Every one of those grand jurors might have hearts of purest gold. The outcome was predetermined precisely because the outcome did not rely on the individual character of the jurors. We have police aggression against black people because the white moneyed classes of this country have demanded aggressive policing and the moneyed control our policy. We have police aggression because the War on Drugs provokes it and we still have a War on Drugs because the War on Drugs puts vast amounts of tax dollars in the hands of police departments and a voracious prison industrial complex. We have police aggression against black people because centuries of gerrymandering and political manipulation have been undertaken with the explicit purpose of empowering some people and disenfranchising others. None of that can be solved through having pure hearts and pure minds. Racism is not a problem of mind. Racism cannot be combated by individuals not being racist. A pure heart makes no difference. In response to systemic injustice, you’ve got to change the systems themselves. It’s the only thing that will ever work.

1. Over 100,000,000 dead now in New World to Caucasians.

Total number of Native Americans prior to the onslaught killed throughout the centuries.
Total number of Africans and East Asians beaten to death or killed while escaping slavery.
You have genocide, plain and simple, over 500 years and counting.
Who knows how many died resisting slavery in Africa and East Asia? How many were cast aside from ships for mutiny or barreled up and thrown overboard to make an example out of them for others, or left on island subject to drought, pestilence, famine etc.?
How many more small pox blankets must we see?

The small pox in this case is our beloved Gun! The Gun that is worshipped more than God. The right to kill non-Caucasians once again is trumpeted but in other words. But nowhere did we hear about Trayvon's rights to stand his ground against an angered bully (whose wife was dumping him the same day). Oh no, now we have gone too far with our "equality".

And now we see how many bullets this officer fired. Is that not an insane amount?
