“New York Times columnist Charles Blow, one of the country’s leading speakers and writers on race and American identity, said on Twitter Saturday afternoon that his son, Tahj Blow ’16, had been held at gunpoint by Yale Police officers.”
Blow responded on Twitter, quite angrily, as he should have “SO MY SON, A 3RD YEAR CHEM MAJOR AT YALE WAS ACCOSTED -AT GUNPOINT- BY A YALE POLICEMAN BC HE “FIT THE DESCRIPTION” OF A SUSPECT…

Commentary
No doubt, that same Yale Policeman is likely wishing he had just gunned the sixteen year old down in cold blood for no reason, and been done with it. If history serves us, he’d have been given a Medal of Valor and dismissed with lump sum NRA funds, a plaque from the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi skinheads, and a lifetime pension as a reward…
even if he was a Black cop.
One Black man killing another just saves them the trouble.
Throughout the history of America, Black people are the easiest to have their lives not only devalued, but tossed aside in preference to all and everyone else.
And here’s the kicker: It is majorly the fault of other Black people that this is happening.
We’ve known the ones that we call “Uncle Toms” and “sellouts,” who have been paid off by government officials to keep the “Negroes” calm and “forgiving” as they continue to ACCOST us and our children, at gunpoint, and for any other point they want to make up.
One day we’re going to figure out that being an ‘easy ass to buy’ is something that should only be labeled and credited to prostitutes. Watering down the #blacklivesmatter movement was never an option.
In the meantime…
When these most recent LYNCHINGS -yes that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE, lynchings– occurred, an all-out demand for justice came running through the old historic floodgates (as loosely organized as it was), with the now-infamous hashtag “blacklivesmatter.”
No sooner than that hashtag came forth, the “Invaders” infiltrated Ferguson, MO, where there were daily and seemingly unending protests going on that used #blacklivesmatter as a 100-percent truth, given the circumstances.
The people who used the hashtag #blacklivesmatter already knew “all lives matter.”
However, it wasn’t the young men who were being killed left and right for no reason whatsoever who had committed any acts of wanton murder. They never went to their graves with the hashtag #imaracistmurderer tagged to their names. Their murderers, cops and all, will now be branded with THAT hashtag for the rest of their natural lives.
It is said that #blacklivesmatter was sabotaged in deference to #alllivesmatter, as in #allgaylivesmatterandstopbullyingusandbeinghomophobic; but that is neither here nor there. What we have a problem with now is #blacklivesmatter being usurped for #alllivesmatter, as if we didn’t already know that.
Then, out comes just one more Black man who is not the first and will not be the last, one Charles Blow, who probably thought it highly unlikely that something like “because you look like a suspect” could happen to him or to his son, or who absolutely knew it COULD happen to any Black man in America and was righteously appalled and angry when it did.
Had the same type of exchange happen between Tahj Blow and the Yale Policeman that happened between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, Charles Blow would have been one DEVASTATED Brotha as of today.
People … not only do you need to have a serious talk with those “calm down and forgive them hate-filled racists” Negroes who turn the hearts and souls of Black America over to white supremacy, assimilation, and white agitation faster than a mouse can digest a morsel of cheese, but damn it #BLACKLIVESDOMATTER.
Control the damned conversation, people, and put it back where it BELONGS!
