‘Police brutality in US has reached its all-time high’

Press TV: With an African-American now as the president of the United States are things looking bright for the future of African-Americans as well as other minorities? Short: No, first of all, he is not an African-American. I keep repeating that. That would be the same as me calling an Azeri, with an African parent, a Farsi in Iran. I mean, does it show that we lack self-determination that anyone that comes to this country that happens to be black is somehow the same thing as me? His family was not in this country, at least not the black people in this country; 400, 500 years ago like my family was. This is obnoxious and it is outrageous that these people who dominate us tell us who we are. There is nothing worse you can do to people than to deny them their identity, to tell them who is in their group. Things are worse for African-Americans whether he wins or loses because the system is set up to oppress us. We do not have self-determination; we are not in control of our destiny; we are brought here and enslaved. Slavery was a process and we have been kept down and it does not matter who the president is if this system remains unchanged. WATCH VIDEO AND READ MORE HERE
