The idea that it's wrong for police to go after black citizens just for being black, is what makes BLM go. And it's why BLM is supported by a majority of Americans.
How Public Opinion Has Moved on Black Lives Matter
Racists are cross-eyed with fury over it, but it won't matter.
Some time ago, a friend emailed me about a white shooter in a large city. An unarmed (black) security officer tackled him, saving who knows how many lives. He was still trying to get the gun away from the perp when the police arrived. They killed the security officer.
I responded "If I was black, I'd probably be angry all the time." He cited Baldwin's comment that to be an aware black man in America meant one is in a constant state of rage.
And then I thought to myself; "why the (bleep) am I not angry?" My friend (and former colleague and neighbor) is black. His son used to watch my place and water the gardens for me when I was out of town. He has to worry about his boys and explain to them how they can do everything right, and still have some racist cop kill them for nothing, and tell them what they must do as a black male in America to reduce that very real possibility.
These are my friends and neighbors and fellow Americans at risk for no reason other than the color of their skin. Yes, I'm angry. And we need to put an end to it. Millions of others like me, that's why America supports BLM.
