In Wilmington, N.C. recently it was revealed some White members of the Wilmington Police Department are just itching for America’s mythical race war — much ballyhooed by some for decades — to begin.
He is the first Black police chief in Wilmington’s history.
As devastating as the Wilmington Massacre was to the city’s Black community for generations, it was just one of a myriad of racist attacks designed to suppress and/or destroy burgeoning Black excellence in the 19th and early 20th century.
The klan mentality has been a part of policing (historically rooted in the practice of slave catching) in America since the very beginning and it persists in 2020; the embodiment of that toxic mentality exhibited in those three White Wilmington race warriors disguised as police officers.
It is not hyperbole to say there are thousands of White police officers (and some Black officers to keep it 100) in this country who are willing and able to wield two drastically inequitable versions of law enforcement: one, for White people and the other for Black people and other people of color.
