Kind of disgusted with this country
Over the MLK weekend American Sniper was number one at the b.o and made 90 million while selma barely hung in the top five. I heard non stop that Chris Kyle was an American hero. He was brave, he was a damn folk hero. I only heard this from white people. Hardly anyone mentioned MLK or what his life means today. We live in a militarized, violent, police state where unless you're white you're life means little. Just as it was when MLK was assassinated by an American sniper.
Snipers/assassins aren't heroes. James Earl Ray, Byron de la Beckwith, Lee Harvey Oswald aren't heroes. Wtf is Chris Kyle a hero. I don't know why it took me so long to realize this is a white country and we will always be an other. Yeah once a year all the media will act like it believes in civil rights but really they're glad he and Malcolm are dead.
