Ronald,

Thanks for continually informing Lucians that the Earth is more than 238 square miles. MLK and the Great African American people revealed the atrocities committed against the Black people of the world by a people who professed to be God-fearing Christians. The actions by the Black Americans exposed the hypocrisy of the Caucasian Christians, forcing them to adopt new tactics of oppressing the Black Christian, therefore Police shooting Black people has replaced lynching.

Nothing has changed to correct the oppression of Black people and people of Colour the world over. The foundation of this Racial oppression can be found in its pristine and well structured foundation of the Religion of White Supremacy where humans the world over are taught that God is a Caucasian male. Here's how it works; since God is perfect and White, any deviation from the image of perfection is a defect, so Arabs, Indians, Chinese, to the Darkest of Africans are told through imagery that they are not as good as Whites since God, the Caucasian is white and perfect.

Would you hang a picture of a Naked Black African in your bedroom, say Mugabe or Mandela, and teach your little children, wife and daughter to pray and worship this naked African as the loving God?? YOU would NEVER do that. I do not agree that oppression in the Islands is less intense; it is simply more subtle. You have a perfect example of the mentally damaged Black man in the person of Peter Josie, whose condemnation of the Carnival queens' contestants referring to them as inferior and in his words, “DARKER AND UGLIER” because of their beautiful chocolate complexion; unfortunately 99 % of Black people are condition in Religion and Mis-education to hate themselves.

On the other end of this mental oppression is the God-complex of the so-called White man, in the person of an Allen Chastanet who feels because of his family's wealth and his complexion, he is entitled to lead St. Lucians. The white male worshipping (Jesus worshipping) culture within black communities unavoidably buttresses, elevates, and glorifies white manhood, while inescapably and inevitably devaluing and emasculating black manhood; a result that stokes a latent anger, a temperament of violence or of self-injurious behaviour in many young black men, while promoting a sense of racial superiority in many Caucasians.

Please examine this short Video you will see the effects of White Supremacy upon the child even before they can utilize their sense of Reason:

In 2011 alone, more than 50,000 New Yorkers -- 87 percent of whom are black or Latino -- were arrested for petty marijuana possession. Though often considered a trivial arrest, a pot conviction can have serious consequences.

LIke other drug cases, a pot arrest strips people of their access to student loans, public housing and quality jobs. Because the majority of marijuana arrestees are male youths of color in low-income neighborhoods, the consequences can be especially damaging to entire communities. Still, more New Yorkers have been arrested for pot under five years of Bloomberg than 24 years of mayors Giuliani, Dinkins and Koch combined.

False Arrests and Repeated Harassment

While privately possessing pot has been decriminalized for 35 years in New York, marijuana “in public view” -- burning or held visibly -- is an arrestable, finger-printable crime. What’s worse is that investigations by various news sources and academics alike have revealed that many of these kids deserve a much lesser charge.  During stop-and-frisks, researchers found, police often reach their hands into the pockets or bags of people stopped by police because they are Black. Sometimes they find marijuana, and while the charge should be a decriminalized possession, police charge suspects with the more serious offense of marijuana “in public view,” even though police had to search them to find it. Stop-and-frisk has increased by 600 percent since Bloomberg’s first year in office.  

Commissioner Kelly inadvertently admitted that police were making illegal marijuana arrests, when he sent an internal memo to officers telling them to follow the law, and only arrest people for marijuana “in public view” if officers did not engage in action to put it there. But Kelly’s memo resulted in little change. Marijuana arrests dropped only 13 percent, and 2011 still saw more marijuana arrests than 2010. 2010, in fact, held the record for New York City’s second highest marijuana arrests in history. The pot arrest crusade cost New Yorkers an astounding $75 million.

"Racial and ethnic discrimination remains a serious and persistent problem in all areas of life from de facto school segregation, access to health care and housing," Noureddine Amir, CERD committee vice chairman, told a news briefing.

Teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer on Aug. 9, triggering violent protests that rocked Ferguson - a St. Louis suburb - and shone a global spotlight on the state of race relations in America.

"The excessive use of force by law enforcement officials against racial and ethnic minorities is an ongoing issue of concern and particularly in light of the shooting of Michael Brown," said Amir, an expert from Algeria.

"This is not an isolated event and illustrates a bigger problem in the United States, such as racial bias among law enforcement officials, the lack of proper implementation of rules and regulations governing the use of force, and the inadequacy of training of law enforcement officials."

The panel of 18 independent experts grilled a senior U.S. delegation on Aug. 13 about what they said was persistent racial discrimination against African-Americans and other minorities, including within the criminal justice system.

U.S. Ambassador Keith Harper told the panel that his nation had made "great strides toward eliminating racial discrimination" but conceded that "we have much left to do".

Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson, who shot Brown, has been put on paid leave and is in hiding. A St. Louis County grand jury has begun hearing evidence and the U.S. Justice Department has opened its own investigation.

Police have said Brown struggled with Wilson when shot. But some witnesses say Brown held up his hands and was surrendering when he was shot multiple times in the head and chest.

"STAND YOUR GROUND" LAWS

In its conclusions issued on Friday, the U.N. panel said "Stand Your Ground" Laws, a controversial self-defense statute in 22 U.S. states, should be reviewed to "remove far-reaching immunity and ensure strict adherence to principles of necessity and proportionality when deadly force is used for self-defense".

Ron Davis, father of Jordan Davis, a 17-year-old shot dead in a car in Jacksonville, Florida during an argument over loud rap music in November 2012, attended the Geneva session. Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teen killed in Miami, Florida by a neighborhood watch volunteer, testified.

The U.N. panel monitors compliance with a treaty ratified by 177 countries including the United States.
