Michigan teacher compares Ferguson looting to the Boston Tea Party cites 8216 white privilege 8217 - EAGnews.org powered by Education Action Group Foundation Inc.
Mike Kaechele, a Grand Rapids, Michigan teacher says the incident, as well as resulting looting and rioting, are a good reminder that “institutional racism has always been” in America.
He writes on his “Concrete Classroom” blog:
The tragic event of the killing of MIchael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri have led to protests and rioting against police brutality. It brings to the surface (again) the institutional racism that has always been in our country. I think white privilege causes some to look at Ferguson as an excuse for criminal activity rather than a political protest. William Chamberlain tweeted a comment about the looting comparing it to the Boston Tea Party.
This is the seminal cause of black violence. The persistent belief in a right to commit crimes. This is what they are taught. It's not stealing, they aren't thieves. They are fighting a race war.
