I
have been asked, I am assuming since I am a black man, by some of my
friends and or associates, what do I think of the Micheal
Brown shooting.
So
here is my opinion, and this is solely my opinion.
From
watching the whole ordeal on TV of coarse, you know the media will
blow as much as they can completely out of proportion, and then try
to retract their statements if they are wrong.
Not taking sides, or
try to figure out who is right/wrong, I think the blame should go on
both sides!
Reason
being, from what I have read, heard, understood, Mr. Brown was wrong,
for shop lifting. If he would not have taken what did not rightfully
belong to him, then maybe, just maybe Officer Wilson, would not
attempted to stop, apprehend, and or Kill Mr. Brown.
Another
Reason, if there had already been a history of Racial Stereotyping,
already present in the Ferguson P.D. then maybe, just maybe Mr.
Brown, would not have felt like he needed to forcefully defend
himself from Officer Wilson, which led to his unfortunate death!
I
am not trying to take sides, and not because I am black, but it is my
strong belief that this is a very unpleasant incandescent for both
sides.
Now
I have a question for you, what if the shoe was on the other foot,
would we be discussing this?
I
mean what if the cop/officer was Black, and it was a white/Caucasian
kid that he killed, would we even be talking about this, would the
people of Ferguson MI,as well as the other states be rioting? I
honestly do not think so.
Not
to mention, isn't there a better way to try to come to a positive
conclusion, other than destroying, businesses, especially the black
owned ones.
It
seems to me, that we as African Americans, and or Black people,
should work on ways to uplift our race, and not create more
situations, that would add to our destruction.
I
Mean:
I'm
Not Stupid, I'm Just Saying
