Thank you, Senator Warren for making the speech on "Black Lives Matter." As I listen to you speak I can't help but look at the entire life experience of our minorities.
When African Americans live their lives they begin with genetic problems that lead to hypertension more often than their Caucasian brothers and sisters. Add to that the fact there is usually a struggle to achieve better standards of living. We know African Americans are challenged to move into wealth and security.
So, even if the threat of police acting aggressively against black men and women were nothing more than a myth, their lives are loaded with stress that other American citizens don't have.
Then walk a mile in the shoes of Mothers and Fathers with young black men in the family. It's tough enough keeping up with the mischief that occurs in the lives of teens and young Americans, but, add to that a reality of danger by the very authority that is suppose to protect them. When my children were still home and vulnerable to influence I know how I had to stay one step ahead of my young people; be they my own or their friends; I can't imagine the stress of handling more than that.
Being a minority in the USA should be a privilege and not a burden. Americans and America should be sensitive to the fact a minority in a country like the USA is difficult. There needs to be a status change in the way African Americans are valued in our society. Their lives should be easier than that of the majority ethnicity. We know for a fact the visual aspect of life does cause problems for those different than the Caucasian majority. I imagine as the population shifts and majorities become more diversified that will change, unless, the power structure doesn't shift with them.
Senator Warren you know better than anyone how the wealth of the people of the USA is maintained in the hands of fewer and fewer people. It could be that this hoarding of US cash to the 0.1 percent could continue to result in a new majority facing the same problems forever. The lack of wealth in our minorities is racism.
What concerns me is the fact politics demands control in unfair and victimizing ways. Currently Voter IDs are working against the American minorities and we all know where the Voting Rights Act went.
Senator Warren as years pass and the majority of the USA is more and more diverse, the wealth and influence is sequestered into the hands of a few. The entire power paradigm of the voters is being eliminated and in my opinion with racist undertones illustrated by racist oppression we witness today. The church massacre is more an illustration of that fact.
Making an important speech is appreciated. Taking action as everyone knows you will is needed. But, Senator Warren, there are profound problems we are facing and it is racism; there is no doubt in my mind. Unless we get this taken care of the USA will not be able to carry out it's promise to it's citizens anymore.
