WE KNOW THE BLACKS WERE BY AND LARGE GREATLY MISTREATED IN SLAVERY IN THE USA.
WE KNOW THAT AFTER THEY WERE GIVEN FREEDOM THROUGH ABRAHAM LINCOLN.....IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE LATE 1960s AND INTO 1970s THAT EQUALITY BEGAN TO START ON ITS PATH.
YES WE KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CASES WHERE BLACKS WERE MISTREATED BY THE POLICE....WE WELL REMEMBER RODNEY KING GETTING BEAT WITH STICKS BY L.A. POLICE, CAUGHT ON VIDEO; EVENTUALLY JUSTICE PREVAILED.
THEN WE MUST REMEMBER WHITES HAVE BEEN MISTREATED BY POLICE DEPARTMENTS; THEY TOGETHER WITH BLACKS WRONGLY ACCUSED AND IMPRISONED, SOME FOR DECADES, BEFORE THE REAL TRUTH WAS BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
BUT....THERE STILL IS AN UNDERLING BLACK PROBLEM IN THE USA.
I HOPE IT HAS IMPROVED SINCE THE EARLY 1990s when I lived in Florida for 3 and 1/2 years..... south of Petersburg and then over to Fort Lauderdale way.
IT WAS WHILE IN FLORIDA I LEARNT THE STATS FOR PRISONS; THE BACKS IN THOSE EARLY YEARS OF THE 1990s.
75 percent of all incarcerated in prison were BLACK!!
BACK THEN BLACKS WERE 15 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION.
I WOULD HOPE THESE STATS HAVE CHANGED, FOR A SHOWING OF THE BLACK POPULATION TO BETTER EDUCATION AND GENERAL WAY OF LIVING. THE STATS BACK IN THE EARLY 1990s WERE NEVER EVER GIVEN OUT ON TV NEWS ETC. PROGRAMS..... JUST WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN "POLITICALLY CORRECT."
THERE WAS A LARGE POPULATION IN THE FORT LAUDERDALE AREA WHO WERE BLACKS FROM JAMAICAN, FROM AFRICA, THE SAME ETHNIC PEOPLE. BUT THEY HAD BEEN UNDER BRITISH RULE AND BRITISH TEACHING AND EDUCATION [EVERYONE WORE THE SAME UNIFORM TO SCHOOL, SO NO DIFFERENCE WAS PORTRAYED OF CLASS DISTINCTION. BE POOR OR RICH].
I CAN TELL YOU FROM BEING AROUND THESE JAMAICAN BLACKS....ATTENDING THEIR CHURCH SERVICES...... THE BLACKS OF JAMAICAN SEGREGATED THEMSELVES WILLFULLY FROM AMERICAN BLACKS; IN FACT THEY WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM.
SINCE THE 1970s we have two generations of America blacks; we have a black (well half black), President. It has to start in the family, from the ground roots up, to teach, educate, and raise good respectable black children.
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN FERGUSON THESE PAST DAYS HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER AS WELL AS RESPECT THAT A GRAND JURY, WITH DOZENS OF HOURS LOOKING AT ALL EVIDENCE, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING TO BRING A CASE OF ANY MURDER OF BROWN BY A POLICE OFFICER.
BROWN WAS 6'5" - MASSIVE YOUNG MAN; PROBABLY THOUGHT HE WAS INVINCIBLE; THERE WAS SOME KIND OF FIGHT IN THE POLICE CAR.
ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT THE JURY SAW WILL BE MADE OPEN TO THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC.
THE FACT SEEM TO BE VERY CLEAR THE OFFICER WAS ACTING IN SELF DEFENCE, AGAINST A VIOLENT YOUNG MAN, WHO HAD VIOLENTLY ROBBED A STORE SHORTLY BEFORE THE POLICEMAN ARRIVED ON THE SCENE.
I WOULD SAY BEING A YOUNG STRONG 6'5" HULK OF A MAN WANTING TO DO YOU HARM. FIGHTING FOR YOUR GUN IN THE POLICE CAR, IS A LETHAL WEAPON BY ITSELF.
SO WHAT DO A PERCENTAGE OF BLACKS DO WHEN THE GRAND JURY HANDED DOWN ITS VERDICT; THEY MAKE IT AN EXCUSE TO GO VIOLENT, AND BURN DOWN BUSINESSES AND BASICALLY RIOT ON THE STREETS OF FERGUSON.
WE HAVE BLACKS WITH GOOD JOBS, MANY RESPECTABLE CITIZENS; SOME FAMOUS IN ATHLETICS AND HOLLYWOOD, AND PUBLIC POLITICS.
BUT.... YES BUT.... SOMETHING IS STILL DRASTICALLY WRONG IN BLACK AMERICA WITH THE BLACKS NOT FROM JAMAICA.
I LIVED FOR 3 AND 1/2 YEARS AMONG THE BLACKS FROM JAMAICA, AND THERE IS A WORLD OF MENTAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SECTION OF BLACKS IN THE USA..... AS STATED BACK IN THE EARLY 1990s THE BLACKS FROM JAMAICA DID NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH USA BLACKS.
THAT TELLS A STORY RIGHT THERE!
THE FERGUSON RIOTS AND THEIR MENTALITY SHOW THAT MANY, TOO MANY, BLACKS OF THE USA HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO YET TO RESPECT DUE PROCESS, OR PEACEFULLY TAKE THEIR PROTEST INTO PEACEFUL CHANNELS WITHIN THE LAWS OF THE LAND.
A SAD COMMENTARY OF A LONG WAY TO GO FOR SOME BLACKS TO USE THE LAW IN A RIGHT WAY, AND NOT TO TAKE THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS AND MIND-SET, BY BURNING DOWN BUSINESSES AND LOOTING AND SUCH LIKE, WHICH JUST SHOWS A LACK OF EMOTIONAL CONTROL.
