IT MAKES ME SAY SOMETHING - 7

IT MAKES ME SAY SOMETHING – 7 As a grandfather with grandsons and nephews the emboldened slaughter of young black men by some white policemen makes me say something. I have witnessed the conduct of white officers, when approaching black people grow from cautiously intimidating to emboldened domination – total disregard for the civil and human rights of black human beings. It’s as though police departments issue a special license to racist cops allowing them to do whatever the hell they want – as long as it’s only done to black people. No such license would be issued for Italians, Irish, Germans, Polish or any group of white people. When a racist cop inters a predominantly white community he know better than to use the conduct he so easily uses in a black community – he knows there would be severe and immediate consequence. He is fearful that his livelihood and quite possibly his life would be ended. No amount of diversity-training or examination of law enforcement regulations will arrest the conduct of a racist cop. Until the black community, I mean all black people – whatever their income or location – create fear in white racists, no black person is safe from the growing brutality of black people by law enforcers. The power to stop the slaughter of our black men – and very soon our black women – is in black hands. www.adolphusward.net, www.amazon.com/author/adolphusward
