People actually believe that having had a black president means we should just stop trying to improve as a nation in regards to equality and civil rights? Dont think its possible to completely stamp out racism/sexism/etc, but that doesnt mean we should stop trying. Doesnt mean we should turn a blind eye when a cop guns down an unarmed black man, gets suspended with pay, tried, and ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing and set free... Why is it shoot first with these cops? Why arent they trained in better? Are they not equipped well enough with non-lethal means to subdue suspects? I understand a cops job is dangerous, but we have to hold them to a higher standard. They are not above the law. And yes, people of all ethnic backgrounds are subject to abuse at the hands of unqualified police, but to deny racism is not part of the overall equation is painfully ignorant. Yes, overall police abuse needs to be addressed, but if we can address a substantial portion of those cases by focusing on the systemic racism in this country, then we can make progress. --- Seek the truth / Free your mind Reach a deeper root / Eat the fruit / Leave the rind ...
