126. A local issue? A local issue

from your perspective and your analysis is flawed completely. Eric Holder and the JD did NOTHING to help POC. Why? Well seeing where he landed after "retirement" I can see why. I think the POTUS is subject to the money interests of this country. He/she will never be anything more unless they buck the money system and we know where that can end. To start with your requested answer. A national set of guidelines to local militarized police forces to follow would help. Do you shoot an unarmed person while they are running? No. We will see where that SC cop ends up as the trial get started. Do you end up hanging a person because they were verbally "combative" at a bullshit stop and at a cop it seems was not going to let her smoke her cigarette and from what I understand was intentionally disrespectful to Sandra Bland. She stood up for her rights as a non privileged POC and died for doing that and offending the new massa and overseer, the white LEO, evidently. A national set of procedures that must be followed in stops like this would help. Better training and more stringent psychological screening to weed out the many thugs posing as cops would help. You understand the frustration of POC? Do you now? I can't believe that when racism in american culture is NOT A LOCAL PROBLEM as assessed by you. How could you even think that would pass?

All you pretenders who claim an understanding of the frustration of POC always end up talking about "magical" this and "magical" that when it comes to systemic and institutionalized racism and how this system can rid itself of them.

A black child in the "inner city", code word you know, has no chance to get a proper education with funds diverted into other areas(charter schools) that WILL NOT serve every child compared to the schools in the more upscale communities that have everything white privilege can buy to guarantee that privileged child a good education. Systemic racism stops funds from reaching those schools in the "inner city", institutionalized racism prevent those children of color from getting the best teachers and training the more upscale, privileged children get K-12. Make the educational system equal in tools to educate children. Make sure, with whatever oversight needed by a diverse group, that the tools and money to buy those tools to educate, computer, modern, not historically racist revised learning tools are equitably dispensed in "inner city" schools as in privileged upscale schools. Be a damn good start. In a generation POC would have the same advantage(ohhh scary) needed to vie for that job as a privileged person has. Now if we had a national set of criteria to judge those job applicants on, regardless of and exempting race as it is not exempted now, then equality can be achieved and white privilege knocked down to size.

Look I don't know what you're looking for but your "racism is a local issue" caused me to almost ruin my keyboard with my drink, and not take your interest in a answer seriously. That pretty much told me what your line of thinking is, privileged and insulated from the national tragedy and reality of american cultural, systemic, institutionalized and nationally pervasive racism as it is. With your assessment of racism as "a local problem" I really have given you more than I think you deserve. Have a good one.
