Don't Be Black!
I thought all this black racial profiling and killing was getting better but it seems that there is evidence to the contrary. Now after years of civil rights laws there are young blacks being jailed for stealing a book bag in a hard core jail. Now there are police officers being called to pool parties when the neighbors called to say there were "N" at a loud pool party. The police proceeded to grab hit, slam and hair pull a black girl at the party who then had been on her way home. I know people who still call Blacks the N word and a word, get this one: Hawquees? Stunning as it may be it is hard to be a Black person in 2015 because they are still being attacked, profiled and disrespected. The anglos in the closet came straight out of it and are now enjoying a new past time, harrassing people of color. I never thought we would go backwards in the area of racial tension but NO it's not over and the sad part is that I am suspicious that it won't be any time soon.
Oprah is Black. Oprah experienced even as the famous Oprah some connotative racial profiling and treatment because she is Black. She has never as a famous person in an ordeal of which we are seeing today. Black singers and actors who are famous are not getting kicked in the teeth by a police officer. They are now part of the priviledged class like me. I live in Pingree Grove near Elgin and I mention Elgin because no one knows where I live or heard of it. We are the people who are insulated like the ones living in the high rise on Chicago ave. and acting like racial catastrophies do not even exist but they are happening right down the street. We behave often times like color does not matter when it does. To begin with ignoring someone's culture is rude and stupid. Did I say that out loud? Ooops. Those of us that are insulated need to stand up for the ones who are not talking about it or doin anything to resolve it. We should be having large parties to conribute to defending people of color when they are pulled by the hair by a cop. We are responsifble for this man and this young girl. We can ignore it but sooner or later we will see it close to us, because if it were not for Martin Luther King some Blacks would never have thought about being equal. It would have gone on and on. But here's the issue. It is happening again. It is going on after all the fight and all the laws and all the work that we have all done. It has to stop and we must stop it. Police cannot beat the hell out of young girls: Black or White. There should not be all these innocent Black and Latino men in jail. Are you ready?
