Thursday Evening Thread: The Power of a Black Child’s Eyes

May 30, 2013 by Miranda 84 Comments

Scared yet? Well according to the Miami-Dade Police, you should be. Apparently a 14 year old can exude a “dehumanizing stare” (the actual words used) so petrifying and potentially lethal that it is considered threatening to armed police officers.

So let’s see, carrying skittles, iced tea, listening to loud music, and now using the sense of sight – all harmful, deadly acts that we must heed a warning about to our children. SMH.


Also, In case you missed it: Rev. Al spoke with Attorney Benjamin Crump about the latest developments in the Trayvon Martin murder case.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Filed Under: Justice, Open Thread Tagged With: Back to the days of Emmett Till, Billie Holiday, Lynching never stopped, Racial Profiling, Reckless Eyeballing, Strange Fruit, Trayvon Martin
