I cant stop thinking about the experience I had 25+ years back, - TopicsExpress



          

I cant stop thinking about the experience I had 25+ years back, while working at a store in a middle-class white suburb, positioned in a spot where police officers pulling motorists over was a constant sight. The officers were always white, the offenders were always black males. I was standing in one place long enough and so I saw it, I understood then it was really real . . . now I am trying to come up with something to say about Ferguson. Im failing. Sadness, fear, anger, worry, and a little bit of hope that St. Louis will rise from the ashes of this tragedy and find a way to help our whole nation into a better dialogue about our very very obvious problems. stltoday/lifestyles/relationships-and-special-occasions/parenting/aisha-sultan/why-ferguson-burned-explaining-st-louis-area-riot-to-kids/article_725f501f-ba21-538a-acaf-f00221add91d.html
