(10,044 posts)Just heard Al Sharpton exciting a group by demanding that the Attorney General do something about the situation.
Won't do any good if they all ask and go to Washington, every black in the US.
Why? Because the majority of politicians only pay attention to blacks a month before any election. Then, nara.
Also, if Holden or Obama do anything to help them, the blacks will be ridiculed as being taken care of by their own kind. Not a good situation. Especially when there are plenty of whites who don't approve of a lot of police and courtroom tactics...who should do something about it.
Whites must involve themselves and demand equal and fair treatment from the law for Blacks and Hispanics, Muslims, whoever.... Whites contribute the most to their campaigns, so the politicians cater to them. If whites want fair treatment for blacks, they should sign petitions, send emails, write letters, and be sure to say, "I am WHITE." It'll make the elected ones sit up and pay attention....not asking for favored treatment, just EQUAL treatment.
