The cup is half full but I dare state that the cup is half empty. Opinions are proprietary rights and entitlements accorded to individuals naturally so long as they do not infringe or trample on the rights of others. I therefore without hesitation opined that we live in a crazy world that is morally bankrupt and socially decadent. The complexity of the perceived understanding of the world we live in creates a distorted mind. A distorted mind dwells in a mirage that is hell bent on defining reality in an oasis of self made realities. The realities of mainstream America or shall I say conservative America is a distorted reality of what America is.
Rest in peace #MichaelBrown and #EricGarner. Prejudism and convuluted minds should not be the custodians of law and order. I want to know who is policing the police that is policing us? The guarantor of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness have woefully failed in the dispensation of these inalienable rights to a segment of society that they swore to protect. Pragmatism is a modus operandi of normalcy and desperate times calls for desperate measures. I believe militancy and economic boycott should be the way out of this endless impunity and disregard for human life. The voices of Stokely Carmichael and other Panther militants are huanting our psyche for our inaction because familiarity breeds contempt and uncle Sam guarantees animals more rights that some segment of its population.

ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. America has a long way to go as far as protecting human lives is concerned. Today, this country has the highest rate of police brutality in the whole universe. And sadly the people of color has been at the receiving end for a quite a while now with no end in sight . Anytime a black man is killed by the police , the killer, 9 out of ten, is never charged with any wrong doing. The family of such victims have to suffer permanently in silence while these criminals who are supposed to maintain protect law and order are left to go scot-free as if we live a jungle society. The gruesome killing of Michael Brown and Eric Garner by the police clearly show that the police need some training in the use of force because excessive force were attributable to the deaths of these fellows. But also those racist cops need to be kicked out of the force because they more dangerous than the common criminals or the even the criminal slave masters.
