What do you see in this face?
Saw this image on Facebook:
Mass Murderers come in all colors. All of them have an ideology, political or otherwise, that allows them to do the horrific things they do. Whether you shoot up a college campus, strap a bomb to yourself to blow up others, fly an airplane into skyscraper, park a truck full of fertilizer in front of a federal building, or take guns and tear gas into movie theater, you are evil.
Not surprisingly, we always have, among our people, SOMEBODY who wants to say “if a black man had done it, then they would think….” Looking for a label to put on evil in accordance with the ETHNICITY through which it comes upon its victims serves the same purpose as re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Everything is not about what a black person would do, or how something would be seen if a black person had done it. Somehow, I don’t think those who survived being shot, or the families of those who did not survive, care a great deal for the color of the man who tried to kill them all.
I know what he looks like, but all I can see is what he’s done. All I can see is evil.
