Guided by an obvious racist prosecutor determined to protect the accused white officer, Ferguson's Grand Jury finds the cop who gunned down the unarmed teenager at a distance above 25' escapes even a manslaughter rap.
The truth is, African-Americans have never escaped overt racism in the country they were brought to originally, in chains.
Face it, racial profiling is a reality and the way things are in the black community, there is too much crime and violence and you can't help but understand the inherent, all-abiding fear white cops have who have to risk their lives in that environment on a daily basis.
Wilson gunned down Brown because he was scared to death of the big, black teenager whom he had shot and was still on his feet -- even worse, the kid turned and was facing him and coming towards him AGAIN. Bang!, bang, bang, bang, bang! -- and Michael Brown was face down in the street, his brains spilling on the cement, and during the four hours that the dead kid lay there, everyone knew the white cop wasn't going to pay for it. Not in Missouri. Not near St. Louis. Not in America.
Since Brown's termination at the hands of his frightened white armed opponent, other young black men and boys have been gunned down by white cops who evidently operate from fear even when the suspect is 12 years old and the initial phoned report mentions the gun the kid is waving around in the park might be a fake.
Martin Luther King was gunned down because he frightened southern white men.
The scars of racism run deep. While some of the hatred of President Obama
expressed now by his political opponents -- and much of America -- can be deemed the product of his administrative actions and decisions, the hatred expressed for him the moment he was sworn is absolutely the product of white fear.
Nobody in America is surprised by the latest race riots in Ferguson. From the race riots of the 1960s until now, nothing has changed.
White people are still afraid.
Reality.
