I was incredibly taken aback by the enormous amount of evidence (that is still growing, mind you) that points to our own government ‘aid’ systems that were essentially plotting the demise of an extremely populous, and largely African American borough. How was it deemed necessary to slowly dwindle away a population that (while slightly overcrowded) was not a nuisance to other borough’s and was doing well for itself despite the squalid conditions of the Bronx ghettos. How could a fire department turn a blind eye to the needs of an entire community? This takes injustice to the point of no return. We are no longer speaking of injustice, we are speaking of systematic mass destruction. As with the case of the Native Americans when Europeans first set foot on American soil. They were plotting the demise of this population as well. If it got in the way of land that they wanted, then the population would need extermination. Yet how can a system, that we are supposed to trust, be that simple with its thoughts and that inhumane with its actions? It’s a startling fact to consider, but it MUST be taken into account as we go about our daily lives. We must take action to REVERSE these government implementations and help the life around us flourish. I am more than disheartened by this reading, I was rather crushed by it. And i’m sure my feelings in no way come close to mimicing the feelings of all those who lost their friends, family, and loved ones in this untimely manner.
