The Painful Timelessness of Malcolm X on Police Brutality

Anyone doesn't believe this to be LITERALLY TRUE just google COINTELPRO, or look it up on the FBIs website:https://vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro

Zero doubt. Law enforcement only enforces policy. Period. Whatev the state/fed gov considers law, often arbitrary, that's what's enforced.
-
Worse they also tend to enforce social norms. which is the brutal will of the crowd.
-
All that too. Any complex society chooses its norms and taboos, based on "common sense thinking." Slavery was common sense. Native genocide
-
Exactly.

Many White folks have evolved & become nicer, thus opening the door for opportunity. But the fundamental paradigm has not changed at all.
-
I feel the younger generation have a responsibility to change it we still have those who voted for trump sadly to say
-
Yes we have a lot of work to do
-
My point is that change has to come from White folks. It's White allies who can change the paradigm. As
@chrisrock says, "White progress".

55 years have passed and it seems like we have moved inches some days. People love to think we've come so far. SMH. Keep up the good fight!

How can you have more cops and more crime?
Must be in cahoots with the criminal.

I fucking hate to view this and go, "Yeah. Jesus fucking Christ yeah." I also hate that I used to be conservative. God forgive me.

so how do we change it? As a white, I am horrified by it, but I don't know what to do to improve the situation. How can I help?

Use your white privilege to help POC and bring awareness to what we are dealing with in America

The harsh reality is that it's still happening and we can't do nothing about it but protest, riot & wait for the jury

What you can do is VOTE. Trump won by a mere 80,000 votes in 3 states. Voting would have continued Obama's policies, not Jeff Sessions'.
-
I did vote... I have voted since I was 18' & I'm 40 so....
-
I meant the royal 'you', as in everyone.
