To suggest the United States has not made huge strides toward equality would be simply foolishness. I myself being totally removed from the African America / White debate ( truly I AM an Alien ! ) (to explain ; overseas , immigration).
Remember America has separate school buses and drinking fountains only 75 years ago. The national guard had to protect school kids, crazies wearing bed sheets and such had to be forced underground ; you get the idea.
But still the racial killings continue, and I myself have no doubt that some of these killings are more manslaughter than appropriate police actions. It will take many more decades to start to bring in true equality between the races in America. Unfortunately there is to much fear and hate on both sides for integration and assimilation to occur anytime soon.
All those things being said ; I want to offer one small voice of opinion, one of these shooting cases was a small female police faced with a large seemingly out of control African American male. This situation must have been terrifying for her but unfortunately ended worse for the citizen ! ! !
Until police policies and procedures start to catch up this racial conflict will continue , make no mistake it is a racial conflict and it will take decades or longer to be reduced to insignificant proportions . . .
The loud mouth fool with the crazy hair wants racial profiling ; well America is already very very experienced at racial profiling , not that he would care much...
