    There's a history behind the way that Alfred Olango was killed; it's rooted in white supremacy's inability to see black people as humans.

        Remember the Fugitive Slave Act? It allowed Southern slave catchers to surveil and apprehend black people in the North and bring them back.

        Slave catchers tracked black people — including free black people who were never enslaved to begin with. It was legal to hunt black people.

        Yes, slave catchers sometimes tricked free blacks. There's a whole movie about that called Twelve Years a Slave. But it wasn't just that...

        Slave catchers would travel north and watched black people for erratic behavior, furtive moments — all subjective observations.

        If a free black person was maybe a little nervous, shy, or introverted, slave catchers could begin to hold that person suspect.

        Fast forward 150 years: so-called erratic behavior is criminalized — to the point of death — in black bodies.

        If you're black and are deemed by cops to have erratic behavior, make furtive moments, are shy, are nervous, that can be a death sentence.

        Case in point: cops say Alfred Olango's "erratic behavior" is essentially what got him killed. The same isn't true for whites in San Diego.

        Remember the Stop Kony 2012 dude, Jason Russell? He walked around San Diego SCREAMING OBSCENITIES, NAKED AND MASTURBATING. He didn't die.

        Jason Russell, who is white, was screaming, naked, and masturbating in public. He was gently approached by cops, placed on psychiatric hold.

        Alfred Olango, who is black, was not naked and masturbating in public. But he was shot dead by cops.

        Jason Russell is from El Cajon, by the way. Alfred Olango was from El Cajon, too. Their skin color sets them apart: life and death.

        Until we confront history (especially its more uncomfortable parts) and begin to understand how it informs the present, little will change.
