I am not stating this in a hostile manner to garner any sympathies but to reflect that old truthful saying that during the course of life history seem to repeat itself.
The gentlemen here is named Dred Scott whom petitioned the government to regain his freedom after being placed in slavery after being free.
The premise of my statements here relates directly to the present. I am crying daily by the clear and apparent danger that Black people live with here in this country. The litany of events are too numerous to document here today but it has been bothering my conscious since Micheal Brown was shot downlike a dog in the street and we watched his body lay there and the police standing as though they were on a hunt and shoot they latest prey.
I noticed several years ago that a majority of your racists and klan types had began to join law enforcement and corrections and abuse the people that they are charged to protect. Which brings us back to the begining. During the supreme court ruling related to our brother Dred the justice of the supreme court unequivocally laid out the foundation on which this nation law rest upon today. and I will leave the statement here to speak for itself.
The opinion by justice Taney was laid out as this:
"The question is simply this: Can a negro, whose ancestors were
imported into this country, and sold as slaves, become a member of the
political community formed and brought into existence by the
Constitution of the United States, and as such become entitled to all
the rights, and privileges, and immunities, guarantied by that
instrument to the citizen? One of which rights is the privilege of suing
in a court of the United States in the cases specified in the
Constitution.
" According to Taney, the authors of the Constitution
had viewed all blacks as "beings of an inferior order, and altogether
unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political
relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white
man was bound to respect."
These facts are laid out to show why these police officers mainly white feel an inherent privilege and right to kill and desecrate a black person and defile their humanity. I will continue this dialogue at a later time.
