I AM THE FORCE

IF STEVEN AVERY WAS BLACK, AND I WAS EUGENE KANE
Can anyone really blame the brother? Steven Avery was wrongfully locked away for 18 years by a white power structure for a crime he did not commit. Can anyone blame him for being angry? Can anyone really blame him for snapping and killing a young representative of that very same power structure? Years of discrimination, oppression and incarceration were bound to have some negative consequences. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of sympathy for Mr. Avery. Talk radio racists may see the young lady as the victim, but we people of color understand that the man is only using this situation to keep us down. Alderman Michael McGee is beaten up by white suburban cops and then Avery ends up arrested again, do any of you see a pattern here? America, at its core, is all about race. I can't think of a single important social issue of the day that isn't directly related to my skin color. Because of what has been done to brother Avery, he cannot be held responsible for his actions. We cannot expect him to live by the rules of society, because those rules are stacked against him as a person of color. To lock him up again now would be a grave injustice, as he is a natural outgrowth of the Republican commitment to excessive toughness on crime. The heirs of the slaveholding class are the true responsible parties. When will someone bring them to justice?

Note: This is satire intended to make a point about the sad failings of a particular Journal Sentinel columnist These words do not represent my opinion or the views of Mr. Kane. Sincere condolences to the actual victim's family.
