Injustice in My Name

SoulCollage response

After seeing Spike Lee's new film, BlacKkKlansman, I have begun to address my serious ignorance of the depth and history of black injustice, by reading W.E.B. Du Bois and then the book, The Sun Does Shine, by Anthony Ray Hinton. 

This is a shocking portrayal of injustice built into the American jurisprudence system clearly stacking the odds against those lacking money and perceived as other than by the dominant white population.

So much is rotten in America right now it is hard to imagine anything short of a major overhaul of democracy which will require consciousness raising and soul searching on a massive scale. The days of American exceptionalism are long over if indeed they ever existed.
