Hey, if you know anything about the history of this Best Country There Ever Was Or Ever Could Be, anything at all, it's that white men have been killing black men with relative impunity since almost the very beginning.
For one thing, it's the fucking basis of Southern "culture". Strange fruit, y'all.
For another, it's all that some folks mean when they talk about "law and order".
Consequently, we end up with police who are more than happy to oblige.
Dammit, it's our history, and I'm sorry to say, for some of us, our nature.
Face it, we were extremely naive to think that having a black president would change any of that.
Hell, that just served to "energize the base", as the pundits are so fond of saying. Give 'em something to get really mad about. Distract the hillbillies from what is really happening.
And the claim, put forth by the corporate mouthpiece majority of our Supreme Court, including "honorary" white man Clarence Thomas, that we are living in a "post racial" society? I mean, honestly, what a sick joke that is. At least wipe the blood from your hands before you say it, OK?
No, sorry, but you just can't get away from white privilege. And, obviously, to some that privilege includes killing black men.
God Bless America.
