Yet another sad thing about what’s going on in Ferguson right now is the fact that if you took the same exact events and put it in a dystopian movie with an all white cast… People would be talking about how corrupt governments and police forces can be. The whitewashed mike brown character would get all the sympathy the world could produce.

But for **some reason** the very real events going on in Ferguson, Missouri and around the country and the world really is sparking very little attention and sympathy and humanization from mainstream avenues. Sad.

Exactly. Our humanity denied as the basis of their humanity, anti-Blackness; our pain registers as indifference or pleasure for Whites, in the White supremacist imagination.
