A few days ago, I stumbled across a very insightful blogpost titled, Six Things To Stop Being Distracted By When A Black Person Gets Murdered By Police. It was written by the uber talented blogger Mia McKenzie. I quoted some of it in one my diaries, but I wanted to do a full write up because of its insightfulness.
With Friday's release of the videotape by Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, it's easy to see that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Some are calling Jackson's stunt, 'The Trayvonization of Michael Brown,' which is why McKenzie's piece is so timely.
