VIDEO: Every Town Has A Mike Brown

By 2 Comments

With the national spotlight focused on police violence over the last few months, it’s clear that every town has a Michael Brown.

As more tragic stories unfold, a pattern seems to emerge of police demonizing their victims. Whether it’s Darren Wilson literally saying Mike Brown “looked like a Demon” or claiming that the victim reached for a gun, the story is eerily similar across the country. Ezell Ford, Marquise Jones, and Cameron Redus all have similar stories, according to police.

Two LAPD officers in South Los Angeles killed Ezell Ford two days after Darren Wilson killed Mike Brown. According to police, Ford was approached during an investigative stop (Why was he walking down the street?). At some point in his questioning, Ford tackled one officer and the other shot him, and the tackled officer used his back up firearm to shoot Ford because Ford made a grab for his gun. Eyewitnesses tell a different story. According to eyewitnesses, Ford was rushed by police with guns drawn and told to lay on the ground. After complying, one officer yelled “Shoot Him” and Ford was shot in the back three times as he lay on the ground.

Why Are So Many Americans So Crazy?

Just to begin by giving a quick answer to the question posed by the title of this post, “Why are so many Americans so crazy?”. The answer is that living in a cloud of misinformation, they are being driven insane.

There is always the temptation to see certain people as reasonable when they aren’t. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18,” was the favorite bible passage of Lyndon Baines Johnson and it describes the basic attitude of all successful negotiators. The lesson learned from the epic battle to pass a more than tame and mediocre health bill or the reaction to legalizing human beings that have risked their lives to come to America, is that it is impossible to negotiate with whipped up insanity.

All of this insanity, from Tea Party to Obama being Antichrist is about using racism to distract people from seeing clearly what is right in front of their faces.

Racism: Is It Inherent or Learned?

By 5 Comments

To reason that all beings are inherently racist is beyond the scope of credibility. Before the development of transportation, it was virtually impossible for different racial groups to have interacted. Thus it can be construed that it is not plausible that the human lineage, through evolution, acclimatised an intuitive and inherent response to individuals of different racial groups.

Nevertheless, individuals who choose to contest that racism is indeed inherent have made every effort to bolster their outlook with suggestions that racism is biological in origin. Even so, the correlation between psychological responses and biological relations do not tell us whether the responses are categorically innate.
