Abyss of US instituational racisim

Robert Lavato, writing at the Black Commentator comments succinctly on the gross injustice of the Sean Bell verdict. FIFTY BULLETS.

... all of us need to raise our voices and point at the abyss of our country’s institutional racism as was painfully and transparently reflected in the Sean Bell verdict. We might want to start by pushing Obama, Clinton and McCain-and the mainstream media- to speak honestly and continually about what the 50 bullets in Sean Bell say about justice in the 50 states of our tattered and bloodied union.
