In a society where not all people are held to the same
letter of the law, it hurts my soul. If I killed someone I would be in jail
until they figured things out. I would go to trial. As an everyday citizen, I
do not have the same rights as police enforcement. As a person of African descent
I do not have the same rights, peace of mind, and opportunity as my white
counterparts.
Every person who kills another should be handled in the same
way and this is a great example of the luxury Darren Wilson was given. If it
was a black man there is no way he would have been allowed to chill at home and
get married while waiting for murder charges to be handed down.
As much as I wanted things to turn out in our favor, I know
our history and I know that the sad fact is that the system is not set up to
give us equality. It’s hard to believe in a justice system that rarely if ever
gives justice to black people. The deep seeded hatred of whites towards blacks
is an oddity that sometimes makes me think is it something demonic and genetic.
We are always expected to be peaceful, turn the other cheek, and believe in
humanity… when humanity has turned against us.
I fear for my nephews, I fear for my brother, I fear for the
man I love in a society where black men are vilified, ignored, and murdered in cold
blood and there is no recourse. An oppressed population can only stay peaceful
for so long.

Mike Brown's living was not in vain. He is a catalyst for change.
