With the recent six-jury decision in the case of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, America’s systemic oppression and its unfair judicial systems have evoked global controversy. As is evident in much of the ongoing conversations, Dr. King’s precepts, that eloquently illuminate the theory of “interrelatedness,” are apropos to examine, relative to the state of affairs, in one of the world’s most esteemed countries. Capricious unjust afflictions have been continuously perpetrated against Africans, who were enslaved, forcibly brought here, placed in bondage, and unmercifully beaten until they bowed down in total submission, were stripped of everything, and were allowed to own nothing. Although the posterities of these Africans were born in America, they are constantly being denied equal constitutional protections under the law in the year 2013.
Heirs of the Africans who built this land from their blood,
sweat and tears are being overtly and covertly attacked beyond reason;
physiologically, psychologically, judicially, administratively, politically,
economically, socially, and otherwise. Throughout all of history’s deplorable degradation,
African-Americans have remained dignified and have made substantial strides in
overcoming prejudicial barriers. As President
Obama expresses in his impromptu speech, regarding the jury’s Zimmerman is innocent
verdict, although things appear to be getting better with each generation, he
somberly relates to the plight and emotions of African American people through
association. Hannity attempted to impugn President Obama’s profound use of
affiliation by disdainfully attacking the president with disparaging
analogies. The commentator recounts
conversations where one of Dr. King’s speeches is perversely juxtaposed and
contextually retched to support the annihilation of an unarmed young Black Man.
Renowned author and prolific negotiator Roger Fisher, advocates
using connectivity to advance negotiations. Similarly, Dr. King’s statement, “We are caught in an inescapable network of
mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny,” impels thought provoking
calculated actions to rise above ‘numwittedness’ as advocated by some. Intelligence is demonstrated when people unite to affect the pocketbooks of the perpetrators of inequity, while simultaneously protecting their family, friends, entourage and fans from potential attacks and casualties. While
people are entitled to their own opinions, The Highest Power, will inevitably
address those who obstinately cling to obvious wrongs, as expressed by one of
the jurors, who may eternally experience sleepless nights.
