Thought for the Day. How To Get Away With Murder. Yall thought that was the title of Viola Davis starring, Shonda Rimes new series. No. It is the name of US domestic policy where the state kills black men and sanctions that killing by failure to indict or the farce of due process. John Crawford, Eric Garner, Mike Brown, a 14 year old in Louisiana. The roll call is long. Not numbers. Never numbers of dead black men. Human beings, dreams stolen, families devastated, graveyard streets, bloodstained citizens. Syria: the US goes to war against this entire nation after video airs of 2 Americans being beheaded - a horrific act. The US goes to war against black men in the business of being human sometimes on video, sometimes not - horrific act. Revenge is US foreign policy. Justice - the pursuit of justice - continues to be black folks policy. Enraged, focused, unshed tears. how are yall? Brittney Cooper Treva B Lindsey Kaila Afrekete Story Darnell L.
