And as you write this piece, African-Americans are still treated as second class citizens all across the nation.

Here’s a great fiction story. It’s just as fantastic as Star Wars.

Imagine a white boy walking in the middle of the street in his own neighborhood. A black cop tells him to get out of the road. Somehow an altercation begins that ends with the black cop gunning down the white boy even as the white boy was fleeing. Despite a shifting story that is reminiscent of Swiss cheese, the murderous black cop is not even tried, let alone punished.

If you think that could happen in America, I’ve got a Millennium Falcon I’d like to sell you.
