As I continue to hear about Ferguson, Mo events, I grow increasingly sad for the state of our country. I spend at least 50% of my time in my car listening to news radio. Usually Wsb (I think) but also some NPR. And while the hot topic has sort of drifted away from happenings in Ferguson, there are still people talking about it and comparing other stories to the Michael Brown story.
One piece of information I heard one day that just made me incredibly sad was that the news reporter had the opinion that whether or not Michael Brown was innocent or guilty, that the police officer was no way in hell going to get a fair trail and was basically going to be crucified for this incident. Just to keep the peace. Seriously?! That has to make your heart hurt for this man. Not only for this man but for our country. If we really have adopted this mentality that we need to do what will keep the people happy instead of what is ethical, moral, and constitutional, then our country has way bigger problems than "racial profiling".
This is the problem with a black president.
This is the problem with entitlement.
This is the problem with handouts and the welfare nation.
NEWSFLASH!!!! Michael Brown wasn't innocent! He had just committed a robbery! Your sweet unarmed Michael Brown was a criminal.
Now saying white privilege and racial profiling is the reason we are here today is a bunch of bologna and anyone with half a brain knows it. Yes, racial profiling is a thing. But Michael Brown wasn't racially profiled. He was approached after he had committed a crime! It stops being racial profiling when you are guilty!
Second Newsflash: black people aren't the first to ever be "racially profiled".
Discrimination is the reason we have The United States of America (granted that wasn't racial profiling). But the English got tired of being told how to live their lives, so they left. If you don't like something, don't try to blame someone else. I'm not saying get out of the country. But you can't crucify (literally) someone for doing the right thing because you feel it's unfair to you. Change what you do, not what others do.
