(65,616 posts)They want their Race War so Old Glory can rise again or some other vile crap their delusional minds came up with. However I will say that black people in 2015 in America are some of the most patient and compassionate humans on this planet. They've watched entire families disappear into the criminal justice system. That everyone knows is broke, racist by nature and deadly to young black men. Watched decades of disinfranchisement by white leaders and a ramping up on the War on Drugs for any kind of excuse to arrest a black person. Frankly, I'm surprised it took this long for a militant response to be issued. There are changes over the past year in leadership, yet I really wonder if it was too little far too late?
And the cops are stuck in the middle, enemies of both groups. This won't end well for anyone involved.
