A tragedy for all

It is ironic that the body camera of two law officers should fail at the very moment when they were needed most and in the very situation why they are give body cameras. However, the camera of others functioned properly and they captured and show to the world the very situation that some groups claim which is that law officers target a specific group.

The USA, it government and people will feel proud of the videos shown across the world of how it’s own is treated especially in light of the fact that the USA police the world and dictate to other states how they should treat their citizens. The USA will also be proud that the action of some law officers are so barbaric that demonstration have gone international over the excesses and abuses carried out by some law officers.

It is even more sad that in response one man took it on himself to execute vengeance so he killed five law officers and wounded another six in retaliation. The death and wounding of these law officers is overshadowed by the horrific events that led to the attack so that there have not been evoked the horror that it should. An attack on a law officer is an attack on the government and also on the society that empowers the government. In a similar way law officers enforce laws that are made by the government on behalf of society therefore the actions of the law officers becomes the action of the government and of the society.

One of the few names that I have remembered from my history class in high school is that of a Roman Catholic priest Bartholome de las Casas. This Roman catholic priest I was taught was the person responsible for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

The motive of Christopher Columbus was questionable when he sailed west with the hope of reaching India. Columbus did however open up new land for Europeans to colonize. The priest came along with the new settlers to teach these heathen Christianity. These new settlers were however were more in need of the teachings of Christianity than the natives. According to the historians it was in an effort to save the local population from extermination and genocide at the hands of the European colonizers that Bartholome de las Casas suggested bringing in people from Africa to work the fields.

There is at present debates as to the genocide of the native American population. The historians in order for things to look good claim that the decimation of the native American population over some four hundred years was the result of diseases that the European brought in their bodies and on their breaths. The sure thing is that the native American population has been reduced to fraction of what it was and efforts are being made to have them forget their past and their culture.

The native American population has almost been made extinct so to who does the land now belong.

The African that were brought from Africa did not succumb as did the native population of America. In fact the wealth of America was built on the blood, sweat and tears of these people that were brought here from Africa. Now that America is wealthy it would seek to be rid of those who made it rich. This is why a politician can put up a billboard announcing “Make America white again” and also a third generation American can proclaim that he will send home persons who can trace their ancestry for hundred of years of living in the USA.

It would prove interesting if persons of African descent and other ethnic groups were repatriated to their native lands. This of course would require repatriating the whites to wherever they originated.

If the persons of African descent and other ethnic groups were repatriated then it would be interesting to see who would get exploited and to whom the others would compare themselves.

The persons of African descent has been dehumanized and made to suffer more than any group in the US. The question then begs to be asked why is the person of African descent targeted.

The answer lies in the fact that the person of African descent embodies the other nationals ideals. The person of African descent is both strong in physical constitution and strength of mind. The person of African descent physical strength makes him an object of fear because the oppressors fear that one day he will rise up in rebellion. In physical constitution the others nationalities see in the person of African descent what they would like to be and the qualities that they desire.

In the USA persons of African descent are probably more easily identified than any other ethnic group and comprises approximately 15% of the total population. The impact and contribution of the person of African descent in comparison to their numbers is tremendous. Historically it has been recognized that if the person of African descent is provided the opportunity to use also intelligence then others will be at a disadvantage. This disadvantage comes about because the person of African descent is already of superior physical strength and strength of mind.

The present reality is that the person of Africa descent will continue to be hated and will be portrayed in the worst light. I was cooking and listening to the television and the story was being read of a man who had used a rifle to kill several persons and he was taken into custody by the police. I stopped what I was doing to verify that the man was not of African descent. The newscasts that tell the stories behind the killing of persons of African descent by law officers are ridiculous. These law officers are agents of of the government whether federal, state or local. They are simply doing the wish of society.

The groups that are taking up arms to retaliate against law officers must put down their arms. The ideal condition would be for the government to hold those law officers who break the law accountable but this will not happen because these law officers are simply carrying out the wishes of society. One answer lies in empowerment through education.

There are enough persons of African descent that are controlling enough wealth and influence to train a generation that has their goals being the sky. There is a solid foundation that has already been made and now through education the oppressors can be challenged.
