Reopen the Sandra Bland case!

The authorities need to reopen the Sandra Bland case. Her case still haunts me and has for a long time. She, too, was murdered by the police. She was a black woman. She didn't use her signal when she changed lanes and she ended up dead because of it.
You should not DIE because you forgot to use your turn signal. I guarantee you if Sandra had been a white woman, she would be alive today.
If you don't see a problem with all of this, you are BLIND or you don't give a shit because you suck as a human being. So many of you are sitting your asses up in a church every damn week -- or twice a week -- and being a hypocrite the entire time. Judging others and acting like you're better than everyone else, couched in your white privilege. When it comes to THOU SHALT NOT KILL, you get all silent when the person has a different skin color than you do -- ain't that right? Not your concern -- none of your business, huh? If this is you, you're a hypocrite.
So...what would Jesus do? If you're honest, you know the answer. Walk your talk. If you're a Christian, you know all of this is wrong and you should have the backbone to speak out and to stand up against it. If you don't, you stay home come Sunday, 'cause you're a fake-ass Christian and Jesus doesn't want nothing to do with your hypocritical ass!
Those for whom the above shoe fits, let me say that I know more respectable atheists, pagans, and Satanists than the lot of you.


Tired of my posts about racism? Imagine how tired black people are of being senselessly brutalized and murdered

If you're tired of my posts about racism, white supremacy, and fascism, then imagine how tired black people are of being brutalized and murdered for no other reason than for the fact that they are black.
I hope you're uncomfortable. I hope you're bothered by all the posts you are seeing. Maybe it'll eventually lead to a long-awaited epiphany for you.
I'm not black and I grew up having white privilege because of the color of my skin. This is NOT how it should be. This is wrong. It is shameful.
None of you white folk -- especially you white males -- had to worry about walking late at night to a store to get Skittles and an iced tea while having to worry that you might not make it home alive simply because of the color of your skin.
Why it doesn't 'seem a problem' to you or why you can't understand the reason people are protesting is because you have lived a very different life than if you were black. You're so oblivious because how can you even relate?
So, don't tell these protesters to 'go home' or to stop. Listen. Hear their voices. Absorb what they are saying and why. Then, as a society, let's actually do something about it instead of going back to the status quo. That shit doesn't work and it's wrong. These issues will not go away -- they will only get worse. Time to step up, America.
Be an ally. Don't stand by and allow these repugnant injustices -- these crimes! -- to happen. Don't turn a blind eye. Be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
