Time magazine used for its next issue an image covered by a regular citizen and aspiring photographer named Devin Allen where police force can be seen chasing a young black man.

In Brazil, [mostly white] cops kill blacks in the slums every day. Nowbody cares, nowbody fusses. As it should be because they are accepted to be what they are Criminals, not Black nor White, nor Asian nor Indian, nor Creole Brown. Why the USA ?? Easy, because the American PC left keeps on fueling a nonexistent problem and making blacks feel like if they are OWED something from the rest of society. It started over with welfare and affirmative action then it continued in Hollywood and the media. Now it has become cultural.

This TIME front cover is just another example.... By taking the situation back to 1968 you are equating the situation to 1968, when it clearly isn't the case. But the message is already given. The damage is already done.

A lot of talks about the use of force of the police, however no debate nor mention whatsoever to domestic violence, and prevalent fatherless children in black communities.
