LICENSE TO KILL!!!!

"for the problem of the Twentieth Century is the problem of the color line!" And the problem of the Twenty First Century in the year of 2020 is still and remains the color line. In fact, and in my opinion, the problem in what is known as America, the USA remains the color line. No truer words ever were spoken in the history of this Country than those of the late great Dr W.E.B. Dubois. The color line is the foundation of this country. The color line built the wealth of this country. The color line determines laws, policies, where you live, where you shop, where you worship, where you go to school, etc. And as we all have witnessed over and over, the color line gives "white" people, in this Country, whether they are just regular citizens or cops, a "LICENSE TO KILL" black people! Now I know the first thing you will say is that's a lie, a false statement, or just my opinion. How can I say that so boldly or imply a statement on all white people in this Country. So let me put a Disclaimer in and say, I am not saying All white people will or want to kill black people or am I saying the law has given All white people a license to kill black people, by no means. Now I am not a lawyer or judge or even work in the legal field, but I do know that when a lawyer is trying to build a case, he or she will try to gather all the facts to make their case and present it in court before a jury to win for their client. Well let me present the facts I've gathered to make my case before you, my readers. Amadou Diallo, a black man, unarmed killed by the police. Sean Bell, a black man, unarmed killed by the police. Oscar Grant, a black man, unarmed and handcuffed, killed by the police. Jordan Davis, unarmed, killed by a white man. Walter Scott, unarmed, killed by the police. Alton Sterling, unarmed, killed by the police. Tamir Rice, a young black kid, unarmed, killed by the police. Trayvon Martin, a young black kid, unarmed, killed by a white wanna be cop. Eric Garner, a black man, unarmed, choked to death by the police. Michael Brown, unarmed, killed by the police. Sandra Bland, a black woman, unarmed, killed by the police. Breonna Taylor, a black woman, unarmed and killed by the police. Ahmaud Arbery, unarmed and killed by a white man. George Floyd, unarmed and handcuffed, choked to death by the police. With each of these cases, and this is definitely a short list, their are two important factors, each were BLACK and UNARMED. However, it Didn't matter that they all were unarmed. Didn't matter some were children. Didn't matter that some didn't commit any crime. Didn't matter what the crime was for the ones that did. And what was the crime some died for? Let's see, pulling out a wallet, walking home, a broken tail light, selling illegal cigarettes, playing with a toy in a park, playing loud music, jogging in a park, forgery! And I will add another important factor, that in most of these cases the killers are free or were found not guilty. So with adding that last important factor, the only factor that mattered in each case and why I boldly, and unapologetically say white people have been given a "License to Kill" black people in this Country is because the problem is and still remains, as Dubois so boldly stated years ago, "the problem of the color line!" And we should fight this problem as our dear brother Malcolm said, "By Any Means Necessary!" CASE CLOSED! This is my perspective!
