“DEFUND” THE POLICE? NOT SO FAST

Racism, from subtle to overt, has existed at every level of American society since our nation’s inception. It was embedded in our Constitution by our Founding Fathers, many of whom were slave owners, who declared that slaves should be counted as only three-fifths of a person. Even though slavery was abolished by Abraham Lin- coln with the Emancipation Proclamation, segregation and discrimination became the norm in the American way of life after the Civil War and judicially affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1896 decision, Plessy v. Ferguson. Although the Supreme Court overturned the “sepa- rate but equal” doctrine in the 1954 decision of Brown v. Board of Education, it has become clear that despite the apparent strides toward racial equality that have been made in the past 66 years, so little actually has changed. Tragically, it has taken the brutal death-by-suffocation of a 46 year-old African-American man, George Floyd, at the knee of a white police officer in Minneapolis to bring to the eyes of every American the gross discrepancy be- tween the uniquely American ideal that, “All men are cre- ated equal” and the stark reality of life today for persons of color who comprise most of our country’s permanent underclass. To be sure, the shockingly inhumane treatment by police officers of minority suspects (and even non-suspects) in the past few years has highlighted the racism that contin- ues to exist in many police departments across the country. There also have been instances of police brutality and over-reaction during these past two weeks against most- ly-peaceful demonstrators.
