Two months after this report was released, we had the shooting of Black security guard Stephen T. Johns at the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. by an 88- year-old ant-semetic white man.
Today, cops stopped an ambulance carrying a wounded Black woman because the driver "failed to yield." As the paramedic in charge hopped out of the truck to talk to the paramedics, he was assaulted.
I must say that I am more than disheartened. In an age where the leader of our country is African American, instead of reveling in our open-mindedness and crediting ourselves for being open to change, we have to deal with enraged White men who feel somewhat inferior.
What does this say about the "land of the free and home of the brave" when we have to fear for our lives and be threatened by cowards? Another instance where this country needs to step back and practice what we preach.
