Calling us "animals" has been the language to justify slavery, Jim Crow and all manner of injustice. Dehumanization and racism go together

@johnlegend You are making it sound like all the cops are racist and you're fueling this unnecessary violence with hate -
@Ochapski@johnlegend fueling? More like causing awareness to a situation that's been swept under the rug for decades -
@DaeAndrews@johnlegend racism? Really? -

@johnlegend@jBSTEEL_@Ochapski Bullshit! It's about police state. I can name numerous white ppl unwarrently killed by the police recently -
@jBSTEEL_@wadrules1@johnlegend Wayne has a point about the militarization of PDs, but#Ferguson is clearly about (systemic) racism.. -
@The_BigY@jBSTEEL_@johnlegend It is being made about racism because ppl choose 2 and not look at the big picture.http://goo.gl/MO0zyT -
@wadrules1@jBSTEEL_@johnlegend Again, not disagreeing on 'police state' issue - especially at local levels..http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2014/08/police_in_ferguson_military_weapons_threaten_protesters.html … -
@The_BigY@wadrules1 you realize racism and militarization of the police can both be in play here, right? This Started with racism. -
@jBSTEEL_@wadrules1 I agree 100% Jasmine.. To finish my point, think this sums up the situation in#Ferguson http://deadspin.com/america-is-not-for-black-people-1620169913 …

@johnlegend@JessicaGoldstei@Ochapski Yes. This IS about racism and it's also about how it's being used to divide us. Keep everyone down. -
@rockermom53@johnlegend@Ochapski YES-- racism is a tool used to divide us, and what's happening in MO is definitely about racism. -
@JessicaGoldstei@johnlegend@Ochapski The other issue is the authorities abuse of power over citizens, of all colors.#thepatriotact
