[Letter]

The ideas of Dr. Joyce Watford in "BLACK MARTYRDOM IS NOT THE ANSWER!" are appropriate for a sunday school lesson but are of no use when facing cynical agents of empire and the politicians and judges who hire and protect them!

As America celebrated 240-years of "democracy" on July 4, 2016, the longstanding tradition of hero-worshiping Thomas Jefferson continued.
Meanwhile, as the slaughter of Black people continues in parallel tradition, America tends to disassociate the 18th-century racism and violence of its founders from 21st-century racism and violence of its...

BLACK MARTYRDOM IS NOT THE ANSWER!

 

Dr. Joyce Watford is a Descendant of American Slaves.

Black martyrdom, in the wake of recent slaughter of black male victims of abhorrent police acts, in Baton Rouge, LA, and St. Paul, MN, witnessed on tape, is not the answer to culturally aberrant policing.  Why?

The photo on The Daily News cover captures Sterling's horrific execution

Black lives matter. It is self- evident, and self- affirming.

Four recent incidents punctuated America’s slow, halting march to a just society.

Emblematic and instructive of the continued race problem in America, they brought the issue into stark relief.

Brutal execution of Alton Sterling

As demonstrated by the recent acquittals of the Baltimore police officers accused in the death of Freddie Gray, and the wave of violence that has taken so many lives in recent weeks, the country continues to grapple with issues of racial hostility and violence.

The lack of social and economic opportunity is at the root of the...
