African Americans don’t need to be told to hate or mistrust the police.

African Americans don’t need to be told to hate or mistrust the police.

police-officer

I have just found out from conservative media and the police that I and several million other blacks have never had an issue with or mistrusted the police until Obama, Holder, and Sharpton told us we had an issue with them. I just found out that all those prior negative experiences (although I like most black men have no record and have never committed a crime) I have had with police didn’t make me bitter or distrustful of them it was that “evil” triumvirate of Obama, Holder, and Sharpton that made me feel that way. – See more at: http://www.africanamericanreports.com/2014/12/african-americans-dont-need-to-be-told.html

Why the tragic murders of Trayvon Martin and Christopher Lane are not the same.

Sadly some conservative talking heads like Glenn Beck have tried to inject race into the tragic death of Christopher Lane. They have done this although authorities says all evidence points to a thrill killing. They are asking why Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are not getting involved. That very questions shows that they have no idead what the Trayvon Martin case was all about for many African Americans. Here are my reasons as to why the two cases are very different. – See more at: http://aareports.com/2013/08/why-tragic-murders-of-trayvon-martin.html
