The chair of the Congressional Black Caucus decried as a “miscarriage of justice” the Ferguson grand jury decision on Thursday not to indict officer Darren Wilson in the killing of an unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.
“This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value; that you may kill Black men in this country without consequences or repercussions. This is a frightening narrative for every parent and guardian of Black and brown children, and another setback for race relations in America,” Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) said in a statement.
The congresswoman called it a “slap in the face to Americans nationwide who continue to hope and believe that justice will prevail” and expressed solidarity with “the loved ones of all the Michael Browns we have buried in this country.”
This is the same leader whose caucus voted to keep the DoD 1033 program in place. I don’t believe I particularly care what the Congressional Black Caucus has to say.
I’m glad we have a President that is far more rational then she seems to be with that statement.
Talk about a self-defeatist opinion: a negative view of oneself.
You shouldn’t post while looking in the mirror, Trollbreath.
What did she say that isn’t true. I can’t imagine that even the most sympathetic white person could possibly understand.
