Excerpt from the book-----BLACK LIVES MATTER
Now Available in AUDIO, Ebook and Paperback editions

 

          Here we are again America, with more incidents of rage and disrespect toward African Americans by white police officers. I understand that all incidents are different, and one should not categorize good police with those that violate human rights of black people. Today, Officer Ben Fields of South Carolina violently tossed a black female student sitting in her desk to the floor and later out of the classroom. The video has surfaced through social media and the outpouring for justice for the teen is loud and uninterrupted. America, I cannot understand why this great nation is still producing officials of the law and government that refuse to respect the lives of black Americans. There is no need for a history lesson on race and unfairness toward black people from white people, for their actions apparently needs more correction. Every incident should be a wakeup call for blacks in America; however, violence against black people has not changed neither have the living conditions. The South Carolina Police Department police department terminated Officer Ben Fields employment, and still, questions of ignored misconduct in this officer’s past need answering. Furthermore, many Americans question the behavior of the black female student, and wonder if she has always been a disruption in the class. During the incident, many people were concerned with the arrest of the female student who spoke out against the irrational behavior of Ben Fields arrested. There are still many whites in America that believe black people are animals and need restraint with chains or handcuffs to communicate with them sensibly. The protocol of majority white police officers is to secure an immediate position of control and intimidation; and when black people are fearless; the officers shoot them dead or restrain them in servitude positions. Now, police officers will disavow these facts; however, police officer's behavior is to establish position, because they become enraged to see any black person, wrong or right, showing any sign of strength.
       In addition, the results of white officers mistreating black Americans are higher now than the 1960s, and the disconnect between white and black has widened. Unfortunately, many would assert that racial tension is high among black and white peoples is because of the Presidency of Barack Obama.
Sorry to say, but President Barack Obama election included an overwhelming amount of votes from white Americans. Therefore, the actions of white police officers that induce police brutality do not reflect the soul of America.

As a white man who worked in predominantly black institutions for 33 years, I have seen racial mistrust cause countless problems that are unwarranted. Economically, blacks and whites and all the colors in between are separated, largely because of favoritism towards lighter skin. I've seen it happen in predominantly black institutions where lighter skinned people seem to have more of the economic benefit.

While racism has always been underlying many decisions made by unthinking people, it is only recently that tools like video cameras and cell phones are revealing the widespread and unfair extent of racial insults. It's a good thing, even though it is dividing the citizenry like we were prior to the Civil War.

Keep up the good work with these articles. And by all means, whip out your smart phone and record any atrocity you see. If a picture speaks 1000 words, a video shows the truth that doctored lies cannot cover up.

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
