From I Mix What I Like - Emancipatory Journalism: Professor Jared Ball on Ferguson and the Media We have to remember that before all of these police killings, there is the already-criminal existence of White supremacy and capitalism. The alleged crimes committed by Michael Brown and Eric Garner were what Dr. King used to call derivative crimes, those committed by people already suffering the larger and more fundamental crimes of racism and capital. Worse still, something I am grappling with, and trying to catch up to, what Frank Wilderson (previously mentioned) talks about, that fundamental crime of Blackness itself, the natal alienation and social death of Orlando Patterson; where being born Black in this country (world) means being forever severed from any identity other than those imposed by White power, or an identity of permanent inhumanity. follow Jared Ball on twitter: https://twitter/IMIXWHATILIKE truth-out.org/news/item/28115-professor-jared-ball-on-ferguson-and-the-media
