The Continuity of Hate: From the White Robes of the KKK, to the Nazi Swastika, and Now the 'I am Darren Wilson' Wristband




In the aftermath of Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown several weeks ago, an almost all white police department engaged in a riot against the black citizens of Ferguson, Missouri.

During those days of civil disturbance, police were recorded using racial slurs, threatening innocent people with violence and death, violating the Constitutional rights of journalists and others who attempted to monitor their street brigandry and hooliganism, and in all, treated the black community of Ferguson as though they were terrorists and insurgents—with the police conducting a mission of counterinsurgency and mayhem.

The Ferguson police are not ashamed of their horrible behavior.

Darren Wilson has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for his successful bounty and head-hunting campaign against an unarmed black teenager named Michael Brown.

Anti-black homicidal ideation and racism drive Wilson’s supporters; they yearn to participate in a 21st century lynching party by proxy.

He is on paid leave.
He belongs to a powerful union.
Union will provide his representation.

And now there is a shake down and a scam to make money off of arm bands?


Capitalism.

We are never going to have that joy though.

Lots of people that look down their nose at Holder - wink and nod about this guy.

I want a win. I really want a win. I want that chance to be a smug little snot.

It is almost unbelievable that there is such HATE involved in our world. It now seems to dominate all the wars and terrorist activity, including the travesty of the Palestinians. Are specie, human beings, seem so underdeveloped to cling to the notions of hating one another. I really do not see that this phenomena is going to change in our lifetime.....it bugs the holly stuff in me to see how we pit ourselves against one another. Will it ever change?

The symbolic politics of the “I am Darren Wilson” wristband makes clear what the black residents of Ferguson—and other communities in the United States—have known for decades and centuries. The police do not “serve and protect” black and brown communities, specifically, and the working classes and poor, more generally.

As descendants of the slave patrollers of the American slaveocracy, police are on the front lines of maintaining the hierarchies of race, white privilege, and white supremacy in the United States.

No charges against the LEO

Out of court settlement with the families.

This system of paying off the families instead of addressing the core problem amounts to institutional racism in my mind.
