17. Our criminal justice system
Tue Dec 29, 2015, 02:52 PM
Dec 2015

has been a sham from day one in regards to Black Americans and it continues to be even more so today.

The police forces of this nation are nothing but tax-payer funded terrorists out there killing young Black men for fun and sport (and I'm saying this based on the many times e-mails have been uncovered showing these cops making blatantly racially-biased comments to each other) and the seriousness of this problem cannot be stressed enough.

We share a country, but the Black communities of this nation are literally being terrorized and killed by agents of the state and it leads me to believe that it is not worth sharing this country at all if nothing can be done about it. Funnel all of my state and local tax dollars into a separate fund to hire young jobless Black men in their communities as armed security, and keep the racist cops on their own side of town. In fact, set up neighborhood courts and rehabilitation centers because the whole criminal justice system is designed to send young Black men either to prison or to their grave.

I'd feel safer seeing some young former Blood or Crips members patrolling my neighborhoods than today's uniformed police officers.
