The murder by police of unarmed Michael Brown while on his way to his grandmothers house in Ferguson, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis) and the militarized police brutality towards understandable civil unrest has devastated and angered the African-American community - and is on the hearts of all who stand in solidarity with social justice. We are enmeshed in overlapping systems of sadistic power built on stolen wealth, white privilege, misogyny, and human supremacism. As individuals, it is our responsibility to acknowledge those systems, overcome our entitlement, and make alliances with the dispossessed. Collectively, it is our task to bring those systems down.
