ALL OF AMERICA IS MY FAMILY
Watching numerous news accounts on the Dallas situation, I knew that I had to respond. Without a doubt justice must be served!! In a perfect world, justice would be served to ALL. In a balanced court of law, lone radical murderers like the shooter in Dallas as well as, ALL of the police murderers around the country would be included in this perfectly balanced system, rather than excluded based on the criteria
of wearing the color Blue. In a perfect world, we would look at one another with genuineness and humility rather than hate, disgust and/or indifference.
I'm afraid that consciously and/or unconsciously, incidents like Dallas will only fuel further racial stereotyping, strengthen existing racial bias and unite racist, hate filled white people especially those in authority. The rules for Grand Jury inquiries are completely stacked for the accused if dressed in Blue. Our existing foundation, fundamental principles and established precedents which flow across multiple sectors in this country, are nothing more than whitewashed laws, guidelines and procedures that continue at a minimum to further the inequality mindset!!
Really???? WTF white America!!! A great way to heal!!
The ACLU of Louisiana stated that Alton Sterling’s death marks the 122nd killing of a Black person by U.S. police this year. As a white person I am soooo sick of seeing my race continually justify murdering Black Men over, and over and over again!!!
This is not a Black issue, or a white issue. This is a WE issue, an internal American issue. We need to do what families do, we need to FIX this! I think about how our country is under foreign terrorist threat and once again what our ancestors said….
”United We Stand, Divided We Fall”!!
