THE VOICE OF THE UNHEARD, ELSEWHERE IT'S CALLED APARTHEID ......
After the barbaric murder of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis by sheer police brutality and cold blooded meditated act, plus two almost similar cases, one in Georgia where three armed white men, a father, his son and a third accomplice followed and murdered a black young jogger in the same cold blooded and intentional act. A third case where a young black woman was killed in her own home by a police force braking into her house, at night, and started shooting at anyone resisting or even mistaking them for thieves or thugs vandalizing people.
Everyone from within these communities and outside, normal citizens, politicians, business people rich or poor heard the pain and grief, the anger and exhaustion, the helplessness and despair addressing the futile and devastating loss of life, perpetrated by the same police who have sworn to protect and defend the citizens. As well as the officials, local and Federal at all levels of government who have the power of condemning and putting a stop to all such cruel and barbaric acts of legal violence.
As a country, we're having so much difficulty facing the racism that is America's history. In other places we look at it and call it apartheid, but in both cases, we try to find excuses and justifications rather than facing the injustice full on, and we invariably end up doing nothing. I'm referring here apart from Minneapolis, Louisville, Georgia and Florida and multiple other cities and States all over the American continent, to what happens practically everyday in Israel and the Palestinian occupied territories.
Yes, the Palestinian population, undergoing the same brutality and barbarism by similar brain washed police forces and army troops officially having a license to kill, brutalize, jail and torture every Palestinian (black) and other under privileged minority. The same tactics are copied by settlers and other Zionist zealots and thugs, with no shame or remorse what so ever, all against whoever is not pure and openly pro Zionist. Gideon Levy, the famous Israeli columnist commented in Haaretz;" Being black in America shouldn't be a death sentence, what about being Palestinian."
In America, all politicians, at all levels, acknowledge the sayings of Dr. M. L. King who once said; " A riot is the language of the unheard." And what is it that America has failed to hear ?? that the promises of freedom and justice to all have not been met. Israel and its Zionist leadership is at a neck to neck race with all of these policies and racist actions, what's mind boggling and vexing is when parties, groups and individuals give themselves a right and legal justification for this supremacy.
Here in America, this present administration and its affiliated politicians and their judicial system, are all trying their best to incite and bring this same attitude of white, Evangelical ultra-right supremacy, it's paying mostly against blacks, brown immigrants and Jews.
This president is turning the White House and all major departments and agencies into purveyors of racism, death and destruction. To make it right, we need consequences and accountability, not explanations and excuses. We should all aim to root out the culture of racism, apartheid and abuse of power by a majority group against other minorities.
My profound thanks to all my good readers, stay strong and safe.
