It's 3:30 am and I'm having hard time sleeping because of everything that has happened in Ferguson tonight. I'm not really up for a discussion because I really am just too infuriated with trying to tell and convince white people that racism is very real..... but I would greatly appreciate that if you agree with me and think the grand jury deciding tonight was complete and utter bullshit then it would be cool for you to sign this petition.

Really interesting article about the issue that I keep coming back to. "People most often choose to believe what they want to believe. We don't quite know yet how Michael Brown's death fits into [this] sad, long history [of racism]". http://www.cbc.ca/news/is-michael-brown-s-shooting-death-really-about-race-1.2741251

White as in race is a different concept than actual light and pigment. Racism from how I look at it is just social injustice. It's hard to be racist towards white people when white people are the ones who are superior. Can't claim to have injustice when you're the ones who made the system, and also have it favor you as well. It's obvious that there are bad people within every single race, no one is innocent, yes. Never did I once claim that every cop is a bad person, that's absurd and completely untrue. There are ones who do their job correctly, but that doesn't justify the ones who abuse their power. In return that also doesn't mean that ALL black people are bad like the media and everything else wants us to believe. There's way too many factors that go into everything but the fact that POC are deemed as criminals automatically is a huge issue.
