Naked Man Shot By Police

I know this is 2015 but racism is alive and well everywhere.  I read the article this morning about the officer killing the naked man in Georgia.  Seems very typical but there should have been a better way.  Why did the officer have to use his gun.  The man was naked and crawling around on the ground.  Why not use the Taser?  That would have incapacitated the man but not kill him.   Apparently he was a veteran suffering from mental illness.  There has to be a better way. 

It is open season on African Americans.  It is shoot first and ask questions later. You would think that times have improved but they have not...or not that much. Racism is something taught.  You do not come out of the womb a racist.  Parents teach their children to hate. Thus, those of us who were not raised that way, we have to be careful.  We have to teach our children to be aware that you may not be treated the right way when confronted by the police.  Better yet, do whatever you have to do not to be confronted by the police.  The outcome is not in our favor. 

There is still a reason to march...one day we shall overcome. We shall overcome one day.

Indian Man Kills Black Daughter in Law

Snapshots In My Time...
Of My Time.....Hauntings.



When I read the story below, I was appalled for two main reasons. One, the level of racism. Indian people I know have that caste system in place and on many occassions have killed many women because they were not of the right cast or just for being a woman. Don't they burn them over there. So, I would be very careful about dating someone who was from India. I REALLY would have to see what the parents were like. I know it seems to be a cultural thing, but this seemed racist to me. She was black and that was why she was killed.

The other thing is that doesn't he realize he is black too...straighter hair but still black. White America does not like him any more than Black Americans or Hispanics or Asians or anyone else how is not caucasian. Not only do Blacks in this country have to deal with the still ever present racism of white America, now there are the other populations that are coming into this country. Racism toward black Americans is flowing from them as well.

A native of India who became a prominent businessman in the United States
was found guilty of murder last week for hiring hit-men to kill his
daughter-in-law because she was Black.
A jury in Fulton County, Georgia was
convinced by prosecution arguments that 69-year-old Chiman Rai was so angered by
his son marrying an African American woman that he hired hit-men to kill her.
Twenty-two year-old Sparkle Michelle Rai was found strangled and stabbed
more than a dozen times eight years ago. The senior Rai immigrated to the United
States in 1970 and for a while taught math at Mississippi’s predominantly Black
Alcorn State University.
The prosecutors said they would seek the death
penalty in the case and the jury rendered a death sentence the day after finding
Rai guilty.
The case was broken when a young woman was arrested on another
charge and tried to improve her situation by helping police solve a crime she
said she witnessed several years before. The crime was the stabbing of Sparkle
Michelle Rai.
