Imagine the Sandra Bland tragedy from the perspective of a racist white cop in a traditional and historically racist county in the American South.

The South all on edge over a black President being uppity for 7 years, all the gays being uppity, Chicago black liberals invading the South with uppity "civil rights" demands, the Feds invading Texas with Jade Helm....Obummercare is legal. WTF is going on?

Not to mention the Confederate flag coming down..WTF??

All the while the never ending angry voices on the radio and TV keep pounding, pounding into your hayseed brain that all that is true, it must be true and then even the Pope gets in on the act, and the voices, the voices they keep shouting "the end is near, buy gold".....and so it seems.

All being directed by that Muslim loving Kenyan/Anti-Christ in the White House who stole the place by getting all the uppity blacks and browns and yellows to vote for him in an illegal election.

So now, as seen by the racist white cop, you are on patrol in your little Dixie slice of Racist Whiteland heaven and you see a late model car in front of you driving just as fine and carefree as an uppity black woman with Illinois plates on her late model car can be.

This racist white cop does not know it yet but he is about to be uppitied 3 times in about 30 minutes!

First this black woman from Chicsgo is getting uppity by turning suddenly into the other lane, just because the white cop had been rapidly coming up behind her for half a mile, so she turned to the right lane of a four lane divided highway. The second uppity was no signal light - while allowing a police vehicle to pass, apparently worthy of a stop and warning. And the third uppity is the refusal to put out a cigarette even though the cop had asked ever so politely and kindly. For no legal reason mind you, just a polite and kind request from a man with a heritage of Southern hospitality and pride because......reasons.

And then what happens? With two uppity strikes against her already mind you, this uppity black woman from Chicago - probably stole the car - gets again third time uppity like at...what? What did the cop do to get such uppity disrespect for a third time??

"Get out of the car". "I am going to light you up".

"ENOUGH, already!!", thinks the racist white cop in this racist white county, this uppity black woman thug from Chicago, in the stolen car no doubt, needs a lesson in how we in Dixieland treat any uppity black person down here in this County in the South...smart or not. "Fuck the law" he thinks as he demands the woman get out of the car. Maybe secretly thinking "Jesus, I hope she is not a civil rights activist or something because I just trampled on big time on civil rights here"!

That is how it happened.

Three Uppities, and then the rest of the story, and then you are dead.

Sandra Bland and her sisters and brothers in America die every day for no other reason than one inferiority-complex afflicted racist white cop thought he could get away with it, thought it was necessary all just to soothe his own personal wounded racist pride. That Sandra Bland was in Texas to begin a new chapter of a life dedicated to what seems to blacks in America an endless journey - justice - just compounds the tragedy.

And not just a tragedy for Sandra Bland's family and for blacks, a tragedy for whites who fail to understand this and other blatant abuses of civil rights is also about them.

The Charelston mass murder moved a nation to take down a racist flag, maybe it just has to take another tragedy to take down more than just symbols of racism in America.

Because the revolution will not be televised.
