How Systemic Racism Arms White People With The Right to Kill

Remember the “summer of hate” that shamelessly played out in 2018, with the full assistance of ravenous media outlets on standby for the latest batch of evidence that proves how the profitability of Black pain has become the daily requirements of callous editors with competitive lust for filling up editorial calendars.

It’s just like the criminalized judicial system, that partners with rogue cops, on the deadly mission of targeting Black and Brown citizens of all ages and sizes, who dare to demonstrate the fallibility that White counterparts are permitted to exhibit under the banner of vulnerability that humanizes those occurrences.

Police brutality is also the 24/7 business center that thrives off of the abusive relationship between badged officers in blue and the communities that are constantly under attack.

The quota system that assigns cops the task of ticketing the freedom of those who roam around with a bullseye on their backs has been the source of financial rewards for major cities with neighborhoods that never run out of the fresh supply of youths of color. They are walking billboards of why prison reform has become the trending item that even attracts reality TV stars who need to capitalize on spinoffs.
