For centuries the white race has enjoyed almost total control, all over the world.
While America has been the “lab” of the future with its growing mixed-race community, its Federal and local governments have tried their best to maintain a white control upon their society through policing and a host of covert actions that have kept American Indian, black, brown and Asian folks at the margins of society.
After the murder that just took place in Minneapolis and its gruesome images made it around the world, the question is what’s coming next? Can we hope to begin a constructive dialog on the subject of race, or do we keep on ignoring that issue until the country self-destruct.
While Trump has been stoking the racial fire, the problem goes beyond our demented leader; it must involve the entire white society. Will it have the courage to come clean, acknowledge and make amends for its past sins and begin relinquishing its privileges?
This may be hard and painful, because it will have to involve every single member of the white community. Are we going to have the courage to do what it takes to abandon our dubious number one ranking? How long will it take for all of us to accept this new reality?
Just remember this: White Silence = Violence.
