I disagree. Though I did mean to include the possibility of a police shooting an individual in other climates. They should be punished too if it was reckless.
MIke Brown’s mother was on tape talking about how hard it is to raise a black boy in Ferguson and get him to finish High School. I read some stuff about the high school he attended. This is not a great place.
What about the civil rights of all the people being robbed, shot, and oppressed in violent communities?
If gerrymandering is one sided then that needs to be addressed. I could be wrong about this but I believe the DA is a democrat and has held his post for something like 18 years. I don’t think representation correlates with success that much WRT the African American although it seems desirable, Look at New Orleans. New Orleans, is in the United States, has plenty of black representation from Barrack on down, much of the black population , hope and change constituents) and much of the white is not doing well at all. I think that can be demonstrated in many locations where you can’t point the finger at seriious inequality in racial distribution of leadership anymore…especially if you consider what great advocates democrats are for the poor. Advocating for their votes is all.
Gerrymandering is not an excuse to assault a police officer or expect someone from your community to get away with it. It’s about money and power and Democrats and black people are not spreading it anymore than anyone else is. The corollary goes to your example of impoverished hick religious fanatic voting republican a lot of good it does them.
