I wasn't there. I wasn't in anyone's head who was there. it's not my place to say whether racism caused the shooting of mike brown. but racism sure as shit has become a hell of a lot more visible after the shooting. these events aren't windows on how society 'really works', they're mirrors that confront us with every ugly little detail of what's in our own minds. me personally, unless mike brown had a gun somewhere on his person, produced it during the altercation, and attempted to point it at a police officer, there's absolutely no reason he should've died. none.
