Opinion| Police reform in America should involve race

Imagine, for a moment, an America where mostly Black police officers patrolled White neighborhoods. Further, imagine an America where Black police officers were killing unarmed young White men because the Black officers felt their lives were being threatened. This social construct is not only unthinkable but also difficult to imagine in America. This reverse analysis of Black police officers patrolling in predominately White neighborhoods provides a clear and cogent approach to assess the depth of degradation that Black people have suffered by the hands of the police for more than 100 years. During that time, and up until now, little

"Marshall" Is A Measured, Solid Biopic

The parallels between the American justice system of say the late 1940s and today aren’t so much different, especially with matters of race. Even as more crime procedurals hit television, real-life has shaped our beliefs of the justice system and a fair deal. Hollywood also knows this. It’s also figured out a way to navigate the space of telling good to great biopics in the same time frame. In “Marshall,” the story of the first African-American Supreme Court Justice and arbiter of the Civil Rights Movement doesn’t roll out a point A-to-B story, or even rundown his life’s work like the re-telling of a Wikipedia page. Instead, the latest Chadwick Boseman starring biopic centers around one of the first significant cases he argued and won.

Now Is the Time for Citizens of Conscience to Act

Racism is not natural. Babies -- black, brown, white -- explore the world and each other with wonder, not hate. Racism has to be taught. It is learned behavior. To assume that a person is inherently superior or inferior to another based upon race is unnatural and ungodly. Racism is used for political manipulation and economic exploitation. In a land founded on the belief that all men are created equal, slavery could not be justified without a racism that depicted slaves as sub-human.
