Justified and Avenged are the African American citizens of the United States of America.

President Barack Obama’s tears may as well be for knowing that America has not surpassed nor circumvented racism; and he discovered, on his watch, that it is unlikely that it ever will.

They made Obama the “negro exception” to the rule of law on race matters, except that this time the entire world got to see America for what it really is and not just what it has claimed it is.

That the world may know that we were not lying nor paranoid about America when it is time to make the case for reparations happen on our watch.

That our ancestors may know that they did not risk and lose their lives over the transom for naught.
