So, as I was saying…

I’ll get blunt this time:

I perceive that there’s a qualitative difference between the way the deaths of brown people are treated and the way the deaths of not so brown people are treated — both in the media and in the larger public consciousness.

I think this may contribute to a difference in perception between brown skinned and not so brown skinned Americans about this war.

I think the long history of government involvement in/winking at the harrassment/deaths of brown activists and community leaders is part of the reason that some folks are so quick to see possible government involvement in the Berg killing — the timing being so suspiscious and all in its ability to pull critical spotlight off the Abu Ghraib situation.

Of course, I could be fulla shit. What do you think?

And please — a little more logic and less drama, folks?
