• W2598255015 abstract "INTRODUCTION After Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, it seemed as if it was the summer of 1967 again. The same series of events that happened in Newark and Detroit in 1967 happened in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. A white man shot and killed a black man. The predominantly black population protested, rioted, and looted. The predominantly white police force was overwhelmed. The governor called out the National Guard and imposed a curfew. When these things happened in the summer of 1967, President Lyndon B. Johnson, by Executive Order 11365, established what would become known as the Kerner Commission to find out what happened and why it happened. (1) To paraphrase, President Johnson, like much of white America, wanted to know: wrong with black (2) The Kerer Commission's answer was: Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white--separate and unequal. (3) wrong with black Just like 1967, this question lies at the core of much of the response to events in Ferguson and other cities where the killing of an unarmed black man touched off violent protests. (4) Just like 1967, framing the issue as What's wrong with black people? states a value judgment. Today, the question still reflects a viewpoint that there could not possibly be anything wrong enough to justify the response sparked by Michael Brown's death and the killings of other unarmed black men by white police officers. Just like 1967, the question assumes that an escalation from legal peaceful protest to illegal violent protest runs counter to a shared set of cultural norms. Similar to the Kemer Commission's findings in 1967, today, white people believe there is still one society and our nation is still moving toward two separate societies. White society still reflects our nation's values. (5) Black society still does not. If that is the case, it is no wonder that white people still want to know What's wrong with black people? (6) There is good reason to doubt the Kerner Commission's basic assumption that one society ever existed in America in the sense that the overriding cultural norm was that personal value and worth arose solely from the content of one's character rather than one's skin color and social status. (7) If it did, John F. Kennedy would not have needed to go on national television in 1963 to declare that we would become a color-blind society. (8) If it did, Martin Luther King would not have needed to write his letter from the Birmingham jail. (9) If there was one society, all of the blood spilled over the difference between black and white from 1789 until today would never have been shed. On the other hand, if white and black people never shared one society, rather than ask What's wrong with black people?, ask Why don't I understand what's wrong with black people? Or, even better, Why don't I understand the black experience in America? Seeking an understanding of the black experience in America is a new aspiration. (10) If we frame the issue as a desire to understand someone's experience, the declaration of a desire to comprehend jettisons pre-judgment and candidly declares a void of knowledge. Woven deep into the fabric of the black experience is a steady diet of negation and brutality. (11) Woven equally deep into the white experience is a steady diet of hatred and contempt for black people. This fabric is the one society we share. (12) To deny the history of the black experience is to deny the white experience as well. When a white person seeks a better understanding of the black experience, he or she seeks a better understanding of his or her own experience. The purpose of this Article is to partially illuminate one aspect of our common experience: the deep and abiding knowledge that, historically, black life does not matter as much as white life. (13) It is not as valuable in terms of the ability to earn a wage. (14) It is shorter. …" @default.
