I understand some folks had some problems understanding this post. So I am reposting:
Contagious shooting. Yep, they are trying to justify the latest shooting of an unarmed African-American male as police training, and not just straight out of control police officers. Contagious shooting, they are say is when one officer fires and the other officers starting shooting automatically.
Here's another one, a 14 year old boy is beaten to death, in a boot camp setting. A nurse was standing by during the beating. To justify the boy's death, it was a blood issue. Yeah, it was the blood of an African-American.
Here's another one. Raced white (jewish Republican leader) wife calls in report of domestic violence. If you are restrained from doing something, it's is physical. The police shows up but the report is not available and action delayed.
Here's another one, Ken Fries, the newly elected Allen County selected his new support team. Not one person who was not a female nor African-American in the bunch. So much for inclusion in 2006 under younger leadership.
What Michael Richards did reflects on the ordered steps of the majority of folks who are in charge of something. The majority don't give a hoot nanny about the life of an African-American. And if they (those in leadership position) are given unfettered discretion to circumvent the laws in discipline, moreso than not they are likely to deny African-Americans their civil rights under this type of power.
The good ole boys network has to surround themselves with the same mentality (folks with the same way of thinking), to continue the old traditions of Jim Crow. They don't want different they just want to pretend life is better in their world when they lie to each other. In this article, Steve Shine shines light on the false perceptive that the Republican Party are the standard bearer of truth, patriot saints and family values role models, when he states, "I want the public to know how challenging it can be for families: finances, children's problems, drugs," he said. "Family values are important but life isn't perfect. I have yet to find an Ozzie and Harriet. This is part of life." In other words for those who can't read between the lines, Republicans ain't all that and a bag of chips or the Republicans are just ordinary people or the Republicans do dumb stuff or the Republicans are not the next best thing to ice cream. Geez.
Conservative, family values, anti-same sex marriages..just code words for those folks who need to belong to some group. Or for group thinkers or for folks who need to belong to a party that had lots of Klu Klux Klan members who were evil hatemongers. Or are they still hatemongers? Do you think these folks have changed?
On a differnt note:
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to know a guy named Rubin Brown? [Maybe in #148 Legion Post].
If so, tell me how to contact him -or have him contact me.
An old professor of his from Vincennes Univ. would like to talk to him.
She is my Aunt and is now almost 90. [I thnk she loves this guy.]
Thanks,
Jeff
Hey Mr. Clark:
ReplyDeleteI think the Legion could tell you how to contact Rubin Brown. I believe you could type in American Legion Post 148 on Lewis Street, Fort Wayne, IN or contact the African-American Historical Museum on Douglas Street.
I hope this help you in your search for Rubin Brown
