Governor Abbott’s Welcome Black to School
Post Uvalde Massacre Consequences
Welcome back to school black Americans. Uvalde is not the main threat to black Americans, but the consequences of it will be felt mostly by blacks. Courtesy of white politicians. Ever since Uvalde, where 376 cops (so-called “good guys with guns”) failed to stop one shooter with an assault rifle, Governor Greg Abbott of Texas took this election year opportunity to do what only is logical to Texas parents: put more cops in the schools.
Will the usual happen: More cops in schools means twice as high arrest rates for black Americans, creating debilitating records for minor non-crimes?
Yes, of course. That has got to be the default answer for adding more cops to a systemically racist state that has never been de-systemized. Yes, there will be more guns in schools when you put more cops in schools. So that won’t be good. But all the non-training and non-bravery will keep showing up on the job. The only bravery cops to others show is when increasing arrest rates for black American school children.
People (like you know, mainly whites) often ask: what does Systemic racism look like? Ok, they don’t ask, at least from what I’ve seen and read, but there are plenty of accusations I’ve read about this person or that person saying, “I’m not racist.” At school board meetings…
