Back in the late 70's/early 80's, I had just finished my first tour in the Army [View all]
en route to Germany, I went home to spend time with my family and daughter.
I took my kid to Virginia Beach pier, along with my oldest niece.
I bought them ice cream and we were just minding our business, when a resident of one of the hotels there (a male) came out on the balcony to yell "Niggers" at us.
can you imagine how I felt?
can you just fucking imagine?
I spent a lot of time trying to instill in them the need to NOT react violently to the taunts.
When I left Virginia, I visited my best friend who had just been transferred to St. Louis, Missouri as she was reassigned to the Records Center there.
There was a lot of turmoil in her life as she was being denied the right to rent an apartment because she was black, and had to enlist the help of HUD to help help her.
Think about this.
You people defending these racist fuck cops.
You think this shit came nowhere, out of the woodwork?
You think these incidents are not not the product of systematic, widespread racism and institutionalism?
Or can you even think beyond your petty self righteousness?
