Last summer the question of race once again crept into the dialog of America…..it began with the killing of Mr. Brown by a police officer……
The situation spilled out of control as more and more killings were reported…..
We as a country need to have the honest racial dialog…..but there is the rub….HONEST….something in short supply in the good old US of A……
Before that conversation can take place we all have to know what it is we are talking about…..ignorance just feeds the hate and the misinformation…..if we understand history then we would be able to see why the killing of Brown became the “boiling” point……..
This article is well written and should be read……and read by everyone……
Excellent Article…
The comments were illuminating….. 🙁
Thanx I am glad you liked it…….information is there we need to find it whether it is good or bad…….
Good article. Sadly because of who published it, many Americans won’t even know of its existence and many also will lend it no credibility.
I agree……that is why I decided to press it here….there is some damn fine reporting coming from these sources and I will pass them on as I see them…..chuq
America is never going to have a meaningful dialogue about anything — not about Race issues, not about gun control, not about the economy, not about foreign policy — not about anything. We never have had such a dialogue and we never will have such a dialogue because our own nation is not under an obvious enough threat to stir the comfort seeking public to such a dialogue. The last time we had such a dialogue was sometime back in 1941 when Europe was raging and it looked for a time like the Nazi Regime might actually have their sights set on Washington, D.C., and when it was widely feared that Tokyo might start building social centers in every American Community … post invasion. Boy we sure had the national dialogues going on back in those days didn’t we!?
I must agree….well said….
