Just when you think the world is hopeless and there's no capacity for change you get hit by a balanced AL Sharpton -wait, that can't be right can it? The ultimate race hustler is speaking both "truth to power" and truth to a black community that has badly gone off the rails. He did it at Friendly Temple- the respectable establishment fixture of the Black community in St. Louis where Michael Brown's funeral was held.
I've been to FT a number of times and know them. They're good people with a heart for their community, our community. I can imagine the frustration and sorrow because I feel it too. What has happened isn't just law enforcement's fault but they are culpable as is a black culture that tolerates far too much violence and misbehavior by its own.
We all need to change. But our government is the independent variable with all the guns and money and therefore needs to change most if all.
