In light of three new shootings

Fun Fact:  Did you know that African-Americans represent over 40% of the U.S. Prison Population?  Did you also know that African-Americans make up only 12% of the U.S. total population.  Let's crunch some numbers:
Estimated people in America: 313.9 million people (2012)
Estimated African-Americans in America: 38,929,319 (2012)
THIS MEANS AFRICAN-AMERICANS ACCOUNT FOR 12.6% OF THE TOTAL U.S. POPULATION

U.S. Prison Population: 2.2 million people are currently in jail.  This is by far the worlds leading number of people incriminated in a country.
How many of these people are African-American?
40% of the U.S. Prison population is made up of African-Americans (non-hispanic blacks)
Also if we were to take a look at the demographics of CAPITOL PUNISHMENT in the states of California and Texas:

CALIFORNIA (73.5 percent White) (6.6 percent African-American)
742 total killed, 269 Black, 257 White, 179 Latino, 12 Native-American, 25 Asian

TEXAS (80.3 percent White) (12.4 percent African-American)
278 total killed, 115  Black, 78 White, 81 Latino, 4 Asian.

How many of these will be read before anything changes? How long must this continue to happen in order for people to care?

"Unarmed black teen killed by police in Missouri." 2014
"Police kill black man in Ohio playing with a toy gun at Walmart." 2014
"Unarmed black man shot to death on South LA by police." 2014
"Unarmed black man suffocated by police in broad day light." 2014
"Unarmed black teen shot to death in car by nervous driver." 2014
"Unarmed black teen shot to death in Florida by police." 2014

Should I go on? Why is it that the people who are supposed to protect our lives in case of danger are the exact same people I feel endangered around? Why is it I look over my shoulder whenever a cop sees me driving? Why is it I've been pulled over and pulled out of my car out of suspicion? Why is it I've been ticked for going to slow or driving speed limit in wet conditions? Why was I almost thrown in juvy (jail for minors) for two years, at 12 years old, for assault and robbery because I fit the description of a 'black kid, 5'10 to 6'0 talk, with glasses'? Why was I arrested after asking a cop for his badge number (legal in Colorado) because he broke the law? Why was I thrown in jail on false charges instead? Why do I have an absolutely clean record but I feel like I've committed heinous crimes whenever I see police? This has got to stop.  People might think my anger is unwarranted because, "I have never seen racism." "Racism doesn't exist anymore." "They must have done something wrong." "That doesn't happen that often."  As much stuff as people complain about in the world concerning the rights of other people you would think everyone would collectively agree that something needs to be done about the current state of our justice department that sees it fit to kill and incriminate African-Americans at a higher rate than any of rate in the U.S.  And it has been like this for hundreds of years! It hurts me to see so many people effected by the injustice that still plagues our own streets but we are supposed to ignore it because its a thing of the past? No this is reality.  If nothing happens now then it just gets worse from here.

What is 'White Supremacy'?

The events in Charlottesville, Virginia were tragic as a domestic terrorist group sought to incite violence and instill fear into the hearts of all non-whites on August 12th, 2017. If 2017 has taught us anything, it is that many members of the white majority have displayed a learning deficiency in regards to the actual black experience, the actual historical degradation and the actual suppressive ideology of white supremacy (beyond the factions of 'white supremacists' who appear on our television screens). The reason I have labeled white ignorance as a 'learning deficiency' is because I have found that many whites are simply unable to empathize with the black experience and much of this is ignorance is because their realm of existence is so distinctively different than that of black Americans. When someone is diagnosed as having a learning deficiency it is sometimes due the inability of the brain to receive or process information. Many blacks have found that when exp...

The Reoccuring Cycle of Racism. Christian's Responsibility.

The Three-Fifths Compromise may no longer prohibit African-Americans to have a full voting right in America by claiming we are only three-fifths of a person. But in light of events surrounds the murders, assaults, and incarceration of African-Americans at the hands of citizens and government officials it seems that we still, perhaps, are only worth 3/5 of the appropriate response of our fellow American citizens. For example there are still roads in South Carolina that are named after confederate militants who fought to keep black people enslaved. In the south there are still churches who have existed since the 1800's who have yet to allow African-Americans to congregate let alone assume leadership positions in their churches. When I hear people say that Dylan Roof's actions were an isolated occurrence of a mentally-ill man and that his actions do not suggest that there is a deeper undertone of racial bigotry in this country (even though he himself said he wanted to start a race...

For My Friends Who Are Donald Trump Enthusiast

There is so much more to our Christian responsibility than our views on same-sex marriage and a child’s right to life. If I can be honest both of those areas are legitimate concerns but lazy excuses for wholeheartedly supporting a political party (or person) on either side of this democracy. For far too long we have allowed the conversation of political Christian ethics to be driven by the limiting (and debilitating for Christians of color) perception of single-issue voting. President Donald J. Trump has, by any stretch of the imagination, been a flawed representation of the American political process (at the very least) and who he is as a man has superseded his responsibility as the leader of the ‘free world’. I think it is also limiting (and politically lazy) to make his character and his presidency two mutually exclusive topics when we are voting for the person just as much as we are voting for a set of policies. What must be challenged, in the middle of this #impeachment, is not ...
