Jordan Edwards. Another black child that our society has betrayed. No amount of "economic equality" could have saved him. The next Jordan can only be saved when our society changes the way we perceive black boys, not as a threat but as a member of our society. It will continue until the PD is cleaned up of it's corrupt and yes, racist members. They all need to be held accountable for their actions and punished to the full intent of the law.America needs to be woke.
Peace, Jordan~

(1,865 posts)This has to stop.I don't know what else to do to stop this..the perpetrator-police are so seldom held to account. Calling city officials? LtE? Wth can I do?
Call city officials. We white people need to stand up for those still standing as well as those that have died needlessly. I want to hear from black and all poc how we can help. I want to hear their words and to see our actions.

(1,151 posts)I think Hillary had a good macro level approach - push to change the dejure and legal aspects of racism, and hope the hearts and minds follow. But it's not sufficient by itself.
The problem is that if you're posting in this group in good faith you're probably already doing a lot of of what needs to be done - but can you get another person to do the same? Two more people? 10 more people? Can those 10 people get another person each? another 2 people? another 10 people? Can you maybe get one of your conservative relatives on board? Can you get some of those people to vote for the most left candidate that can viably win (aka the Democrat?)
Fighting racism is all about organizing, and the good news is that anyone can do it, the bad news is that most people don't know how.
