The aftermath of the police execution of a black teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri continues. The Policy.mic web site has a report on public generosity that has raised
$200,000 for - wait for it - the shooter, officer Darren Wilson.
Follow the link to read the remarks left by some of officer Wilson's supporters.
Ugh, those comments... "The real America [read Whites] supports you."
ReplyDeleteNot only loud and proud racists, one fellow cop from the Chicago Police Department figures Officer Wilson should treat himself to a lap dance to ease the tension. NICE.
It amazes me how open expressions of racism became acceptable again after the inauguration of Barack Obama. There was a widespread upwelling of venom that must have been simmering just below the surface before Obama was elected. So much for civil society.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner America's non-white population achieve an effective political voice the better.
