[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 1034341, member: 45598"] The other two responses to this covered systematic racism better than J could hope to so I'll just address. Mistake or not, I think every unlawful police killing of a black person needs to be met with a strong response. An oppressed minority needs spotlight and attention to be heard because in the vast majority of cases throughout history peaceful responses haven't been particularly successful. I think a bit of anarchy is required here and not using a moment where you're front and centre of attention in your country's selective media is a waste. I really don't see anyone who is already on the side of Black Americans turning against them if their actions aren't excessive and the more often other people see events like this the more likely they are to realise how angry these people are and educate themselves further as to why. Unfortunately there's far too many people too far gone and happy to blindly vilify protesters in that country which slows the process incredibly. [/QUOTE]
