I came out with "Big Tree" on this... It was really upsetting and I've been trying to find it to post on V&MM...and can't find anything that works.
His views are out of touch with the experience of those of us who remember the CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT and were part of it..and he BLAMES...and it's ...well. won't say more except that I thought "Big Tree" got to the parts of it.. and folks really need to hear what he's saying. It seemed he faltered on Iraq (like he wasn't convinced and was reading a prepared statement...but on Ferguson and the Black American Experience (and indeed ALL of Our Experience these days) he was filled with the conviction that "If you Do the Crime...you Pay the Time" and "Hollaring and Shouting" doesn't solve anything...making those protestors NOTHING in HIS EYES.
Jeez ....I'm sounding like a Will Pitt rant here. Probably going to delete everything...but it was Shocking what he was saying. Like he was Above it all looking at ants under a magnifying glass casting this judgement...
