To suggest the United States has not made huge strides toward equality would be simply foolishness. I myself being totally removed from the African America / White debate ( truly I AM an Alien ! ) (to explain ; overseas , immigration).
Remember America has separate school buses and drinking fountains only 75 years ago. The national guard had to protect school kids, crazies wearing bed sheets and such had to be forced underground ; you get the idea.
But still the racial killings continue, and I myself have no doubt that some of these killings are more manslaughter than appropriate police actions. It will take many more decades to start to bring in true equality between the races in America. Unfortunately there is to much fear and hate on both sides for integration and assimilation to occur anytime soon.
All those things being said ; I want to offer one small voice of opinion, one of these shooting cases was a small female police faced with a large seemingly out of control African American male. This situation must have been terrifying for her but unfortunately ended worse for the citizen ! ! !
Until police policies and procedures start to catch up this racial conflict will continue , make no mistake it is a racial conflict and it will take decades or longer to be reduced to insignificant proportions . . .
The loud mouth fool with the crazy hair wants racial profiling ; well America is already very very experienced at racial profiling , not that he would care much...
Interesting take.
The things we thought were forced underground appear not to have been buried to deep after all. And while it is notable to recognize "strides" made in a nations' history, those achievements are still against a backdrop of the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans to build it. So nearly wiping a people out, and making chattel out of another, seems to make having a place at their lunch counters and stores insignificant in hindsight.
When you said "one of these shooting cases was a small female police(woman) faced with a large seemingly out of control African American male," what case were you referring to? Definitely not Tulsa, because Mr. Crutcher was hardly "out of control," he was in fact in a great position to be subdued without violence. The notion that this female was terrified is hollow, she was allegedly a trained cop, so she was no shrinking violet, and she was surrounded by several of her peers for back-up, including one who was her husband in the helicopter. So where in the video do you see "out-of-control? I understand how white perceptions of blacks through western media conditions how people abroad see us, so is it possible that he appears out of control just because he was big and black. So what case were you referring to?
