Los eventos de la \u00faltima semana siguen resonando en la conciencia nacional.<\/p>\n

Los asesinatos sin provocaci\u00f3n que la tira hace en las calles del Medio Oeste norteamericano y los asesinatos de polic\u00edas en Texas que acaban de pasar, nos muestran que se ha llegado a un nuevo instante en la m\u00e1s larga y cada vez m\u00e1s p\u00fablica guerra interna de los Estados Unidos; guerra que nadie sabe cuando ni como va a terminar.<\/p>\n

El problema de la violencia policial, naturalmente, no es nuevo.<\/p>\n

Cuando el Reverendo Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. dirigi\u00f3 marchas en protesta contra la segregaci\u00f3n racial en Selma, Alabama, en los a\u00f1os de los 1960s, polic\u00edas no “ayudaron” a los que marchaban en protesta; los cachacos golpeaban a los que protestaban, los golpeaban salvajemente, porque se atrev\u00edan a violar las leyes injustas de la supremac\u00eda de los Blancos. Cachacos golpeaban indiscriminadamente a hombres y mujeres para protejer los privilegios Blancos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

El puente Edmund-Pettus se hizo resbaladizo con la sangre de los Negros.<\/p>\n

Hoy d\u00eda, polic\u00edas matan con desalmada impunidad; hombres, mujeres y ni\u00f1os Negros, tales como Freddie Gray, Mike Brown, Rekiah Boyd, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, y otros.–y no pasa nada. Grandes Jurados Secretos y no-tan-secretos jueces repetidamente decretan, “homicidio justificado”, y los cachacos asesinos son premiados con mejores puestos de trabajo.<\/p>\n

“Buena labor” –y todo queda en nada.<\/p>\n

Hoy, los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, los pol\u00edticos y la polic\u00eda llaman loco a Micah Xavier Johnson, que mat\u00f3 a varios polic\u00edas en Dallas, Texas; y un pol\u00edtico prominente lo llam\u00f3, “desquiciado mental”.<\/p>\n

Pero, si Micah Xavier Johnson es loco, \u00bfqu\u00e9 lo hizo loco?<\/p>\n

\u00bfEstaba Micah Xavier loco cuando fue a matar al pueblo de Afganist\u00e1n para beneficiar al Imperio Norteamericano? Quiz\u00e1s sus superiores lo entrenaron demasiado bi\u00e9n.<\/p>\n

La opresi\u00f3n enloquece al pueblo. La opresi\u00f3n lleva al pueblo a la locura. Cerebros tranquilos se vuelven mentes locas… Mentes consumidas por la c\u00f3lera, la furia y por los resentimientos.<\/p>\n

Los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n, sacerdotes, pastores y los pol\u00edticos van a llamar a Micah Xavier con malos nombres, pero Micah ya est\u00e1 m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de esas maldiciones.<\/p>\n

Su vida ya era maldita porque \u00e9l hab\u00eda nacido Negro en los Estados Unidos. Esa ya es una maldici\u00f3n suficiente.<\/p>\n

En1951, el gran poeta, Langston Hughes (1902-1967), escribi\u00f3 en su poema “Harlem”:<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 le pasa a un sue\u00f1o postergado?
\n\u00bfSe seca
\ncomo una pasa de uva al sol?
\n\u00bfO se inflama como una llaga–
\ny despu\u00e9s se descompone?
\n\u00bfApesta como carne podrida?
\n\u00bfO se hace como azucarado pan de dulce —
\ncomo un caramelo de melcocha?
\nQuiz\u00e1s simplemente se hunde
\ncomo una carga pesada.
\n\u00bfO estalla?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The events of last week continue to reverberate throughout national consciousness.<\/p>\n

The unprovoked killings by cops in the streets of America’s Midwest, and the subsequent killings of cops in Texas, show us that a new stage has been reached in America’s longest internal war, and that no one knows how it will end.<\/p>\n

The problem of police violence, of course, isn’t new.<\/p>\n

When Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led anti-segregation protests in Selma, Alabama in the 1960s, cops didn’t ‘assist’ protestors; they beat them, savagely, for violating the unjust laws of white supremacy. They beat men and women, indiscriminately, to protect white privilege. The Edmund-Pettus bridge became slick with Black blood.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Today, they kill with utter impunity; Black men, women and children: like Mike Brown, Rekiah Boyd, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner, etc.–and nothing happens. Secret Grand Juries, and not-so-secret judges repeatedly rule, ‘justifiable homicide’, and killer cops get promotions.<\/p>\n

‘Good job’–and nothing.<\/p>\n

Today, media, politicians and police call Micah Xavier Johnson, a madman; “deranged”, according to one prominent politician.<\/p>\n

But if he is mad, what made him so?<\/p>\n

Was he mad when he went to kill Afghanistanis on behalf of the Empire? Perhaps they trained him far too well.<\/p>\n

Oppression maddens people. It drives them mad. It turns calm brains into mad minds consumed by anger, rage and resentments.<\/p>\n

The media, ministers and politicians will call him names, but he is beyond your curses now.<\/p>\n

His life was a curse already, to be born a nigger in America. That’s curse enough.<\/p>\n

In 1951, the great poet, Langston Hughes (1902:1967), in his poem, “Harlem”, wrote:<\/p>\n

What happens to a dream deferred?
\nDoes it dry up
\nlike a raisin in the sun?
\nOr fester like a sore–
\nAnd then run?
\nDoes it stink like rotten meat?
\nOr crust and sugar over —
\nlike a syrupy sweet?
\nMaybe it just sags
\nlike a heavy load.
\nOr does it explode?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
