CAN WE BE AT WAR AND NOT KNOW?
Wars can be: declared, undeclared, hot, cold, tribal, racial, covert, guerrilla, conventional, naval, cultural, religious, scholastic, scientific, intellectual, etc .
But the USA's "War on Drugs" which displaced the "War on Poverty," in the United States of America, began to banish drug lifestyle choices in the 1960s, it claimed; but it now continues in the 2010's to banish black lives.
The killing of unarmed black people by police is a national white-power legal epidemic that is a war on some blacks.
Those stricken are usually inner-city, but not necessarily; low-income but not invariably; caught in compromised situations, usually unsparingly. So the poverty war morphed into a drug war having all aspects of the other wars, except understanding of the presence of war on its black vulnerable victims.
For if they knew there was an actual war on them, that was legal, taxpayer supported, part of a "white" political consensus, to decimate their lives, it stands to reason that they would at least attempt to resist the assaults that slay them, dismay them, disarray them, would they not? Why don't they know?
Why don't they recognize? Why don't they see, act to defend themselves ? Why do they not do what all self-loving living things do to preserve their lives?
