It is almost always, all over the world, and from the beginning of time, that social change is preceded by human suffering and human loss. America is no different and no exception. Blacks have to die in the streets for the country to confront not necessarily police brutality or police lack of consideration to say the least, but to bring to the surface a whole population of African-Americans that are so desperate, so uprooted from their community and so eager to explode.
Today Baltimore is rioting and looting, yesterday it was Ferguson Missouri and before New York. Underneath the grand society lives an underground society that wakes up every morning and looks at the mirror and reject themselves because they are black, they refuse to go beyond the complexion of their skin. And at the same time, underneath the grand society lives an underground society of white population that refuse but to remind that other population that they are less and that they are different. By default, explosions as a result of these two societies colliding, have from time to time to happen.
