African American

Don't drop this in the lap of Black America. You know who you need to thank? The millions of White Americans who turn a blind eye to these atrocities time after time after time after time again. We need to stop putting the responsibility for framing the story solely on our backs.

We wouldn't be at this point if prosecutors, predominatly White, did not overwhelmingly decide to charge police officers in these situations. We wouldn't be at this point if grand juries, predominately White, did not overwhelmingly decide to no bill police officers in these situations. . We wouldn't be at this point if police departments, predominatly White, did not overwhelmingly decide to not discipline police officers in these situations.

Stop this bullshit....really. We've protested, wrote our legislators, held rallies, talked about it at the BET awards and yet we still have a situation where a law-abiding black man, one who has done everything White Ameica has said he should do is blown away while reaching for his license and registration and despite some pretty daming video, the man who shot him is now pretty much on a paid vacation.

I come from a family of LEO and I worry about them every day. But when Dylan Roof decided to slaughter 9 Black people at a Wednesday night bible study, White America didn't wring it's hands and neither should we.
