We are in the Lords year 2016 A.D. A lot has changed since 2008. We elected our official first black President. He passed the Affordable Healthcare Act for better or worse. He came up with Am I My Brother's Keeper. He came up with the Lilly Ledbetter Act. He saved the car industry. He ended the recession. Gays can now serve openly in the U.S. military. A lot has changed.
Some things are the #SameAsItEverWas. #AltonSterling was just gunned down in the street. #TrayvonMartin was gunned down by a racist with a penchant for violence. Zimmerman is a real thug. #PhilandoCastile had his concealed permit in his back pocket. The officer in question told him to show it to him. When #PhilandoCastile went to reach for it, he was shot 4 times in the chest with his girlfriend and kid watching. #EricGarner was breaking up a fight. He was choked to death. #SandraBland refused to put her cigarette out. She was beaten and then mysteriously hung. I could spend 5 hours elaborating on hashtags.
The racist wing of white America got very angry when President Obama was elected twice. So much so that the day President Obama was elected the #KKK website crashed due to so many trying to join. President Obama has the record for the most death threats ever in history. He had an 800% increase in threats against his life. Add insult to injury we have had drones invade 1600 Pennsylvania. Men jump fences. A clown flew a copter over the White House. Shots have been fired repeatedly at the White House. The #TeaParty cheers when these events occur. They don't dislike the Presidents policies. They hate the man. They say that he was born in Kenya with 0 proof. They call him a Muslim who hates whites (he is half white). They say that his birth certificate is fake.
Enter Trump. Donald J. Trump is 100% culpable for the shootings. All of them. He sparked the match. He molds the #TeaParty hive mind. Brings out the true racist roots. #StormfrontFox stirs the pot 24/7.
It is apparent that black people have been paying for the last 8 years an #ObamaTax. Voter suppression tactics. Racism through the roof. Cops gunning unarmed blacks. The #ObamaTax has been paid in blood, sweat, and tears. How long will it be until we get our next minority President? Was it worth it?

Has black America paid the price for helping elect Obama?

Amadou Diallo & how Mayor Giuliani fumbled the football. 41 shots! Courtesy of The Washington Post
In the wake of the death of an unarmed African immigrant named Amadou Diallo -- killed in a hail of 41 bullets fired by New York City police -- and a state court's decision not to convict the officers involved in the man's death, Giuliani said the officers followed "standard procedure." Yes, "standard procedure" left a man with no criminal record and no weapon with no life left in his body. But according to Giuliani -- while still mayor and ostensibly the boss of a police force with its share of known problems and a series of high-profile shooting deaths and alleged police abuses in its record-- that was not something about which to be alarmed.
