The Rodney King Verdict: Did Our Justice System Fail? And Now What?
I am outraged at the verdict of the beating of Rodney King. How can people of color ask their children to obey the law and that justice will prevail?
Things must change. Violence is not the answer. We should take off our glasses and see ourselves as we are. We are unfair to the African-Americans. This verdict is an indictment of us as white Americans. The train of democracy has left the station. White America better run and get on.
