Then they made an unlawful demand - show us ID. He declined. Now, he has your tax money. Be happy. Be proud. A black man stood for the rights white men gave you and kept from him. And you didn't back him.
This is how the stranger among us gets our birthright - when we treat it as a bowl of gruel and the stranger values it as an inheritance.
You might actually WANT to live in a country where forgetting your billfold can get you locked up. That black pastor doesn't. He wants more. He wants his dignity and his freedom and his manhood. A **** UNIFORM doesn't make your servant your boss.
Well, I take that back. It doesn't make HIS servant HIS boss.
hyperbole aside the cops were just responding to a 911 call about a suspicious person on somebody else's property.
said cops ask for ID and dude chimped out and got belligerent, angry and unpredictable.
cops are not in the habit of taking the person's in question word for for who they are.
Whole thing would've been prevented if dude said here's my ID I'm Kunta Kinte and this is my neighbor, Toby's, house and he asked me to water his khat plants.
Done and done with nobody's honor or manhood hooking away
