Our African-American co-citizens try and cry and protest and contest the never-ending onslaught of systemic white power over them, but to no avail.
So, what should they do when the response so far has been so tepid? Just sit back and take it? You would never suggest to your friends or family that they should just accept abusive behavior toward them. Of course you wouldn't. You would tell them to stand up, be strong and fight back.
So now, when they do just that, they are suddenly terrorists? This sounds early familiar to the South African response to Nelson Mandela, who eventually turned to violence when nothing else was working to stem the violence against his brethren.
Now Mandela is seen for what he really was, an icon for brotherhood, fairness and understanding.
We all want the violence to stop, so let's set about eliminating the reason for the violence in the first place. Search online for ideas you can put into practice to remove the root cause of this violence. White, privileged people are the ones that need to do this, so let's get going!
