[QUOTE]Originally posted by Martinna: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by 135.0: [qb] Ok so what's your solution? I hear the complaint it what should be done? [/qb][/QUOTE]The problem with race and what seems to have happened to [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0]Philando Castile[/URL] is nothing new. Lets go back to the summer of 1955. The story of Emmett Till, a 14 year old boy, African American teenager. From Chicago. His mom Mamie wanted Emmett to get out of the city for the summer so she sends Emmett to the South to be with his aunt and uncle. One night Emmett is ripped out of bed by a white mob and he is tortured, he is beaten and ends up in the river. You know Emmett Till was a stutterer. His mother taught him when ever you stutter, stop and [i]whistle[/i], and it will help you. They said Emmett "wolf whistled" at a white woman. And for that he was killed. When his body was dredged up and sent back to Chicago, his mother Mamie did something [i]incredibly[/i] courageous. She said she wanted the casket open in the wake for the funeral! She wanted the world to see the ravages of racism. The brutality of bigotry. Thousands streamed by Emmett's casket and saw. Jet Magazine and other black publications took photographs of Emmett's disfigured, mutilated head. And they were actually published! They were seared into the history and conciseness of this country. Take a look at the boy for yourself if you can stomach it ---- http://www.voice-online.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/455/Emmett_Till.jpg -------- https://ecarson.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/emmett-till-3.png Mamie Till had an important lesson to teach modern Americans of today. [b]Share the pictures. [URL=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzcM1LOnx0] Share the videos![/URL][/b] Why is it the poor and people of color are punished for committing crimes, many of which are results of the conditions that they are born into and [i]not[/i] because some evil streak is running through America's economically disadvantaged communities. We never give poor folks in this country that are busted on a drug possession or committing a petty robbery, they almost never get a break. But these too big to fail corporations and crooked politicians like Hillary Clinton are let off the hook nonstop all the time. Second, third, fourth chances! Who went to jail over Hurricane Katrina? What wealthy banker went to jail over the implosion of the economy in 2007/2008? Who went to jail over these false wars that killed millions of poor innocent people? If we really cared in this country about threats to our security, we'd be looking at our environment, how we treat poor people in this country, we'd be looking at how we treat working people in this country. Surveillance and war are not the answer. Share this post. [/QB][/QUOTE]
