The very
first chapter of my book, The Gunning Down of Michael Brown: An
Afrocentric Response is, “Three-Fifths of All Other Persons.” Yes, that’s a direct quote from our Constitution.
The
question everyone is asking these days is who is ultimately responsible for the
cold-blooded murder of Mr. George Floyd, right there in the street in front of
witnesses? And it’s hard not to think about Trump’s boast that he could with
absolute impunity gun down somebody right there on Fifth Avenue.
Who’s
ultimately responsible? Well, it’s not the police; it’s not even Trumpism. No,
IT’S THE CONSTIUTION, with that unspeakably odious phrase: “three-fifths of all
other persons.”
