108 - Black Murder Under Blue Shield

In 1967 the arrest of black men and women that were peacefully enjoying themselves at an after hours nightclub in a black neighborhood by white police officers sparked the fuse for the start of the Detroit Riots. Ultimately the shooting death of three more unarmed black men after three white officers terrorized a group of black hotel patrons fueled even more anger. As the cops covered up their murder and blamed the victims for their deaths, tensions flared. Police violence against black me isn't new, but having someone in the White House forced to denounce white neo nazi racists and white supremacist in the 21st Century is! Donald Trump refused to call out radicle white racism and rhetoric by neo nazi's, white nationalists, and white supremacists, that rallied in support of him and his policies in Charlottesville. VA. Heather Heyer, who was killed by one of these white nationalist supporters, was the embodiment of the fight and struggle for equality for all, especially the underserved and marginalized. She was an activist for equality. But, White America led by David Duke, say that they're going to take America back, they mean from you and me, Men of color. Racist cops and racist groups are eager to white wash America with murder, hate, and violence, to Make America White Again!
