Ferguson Missouri: Solely Peaceful Protesting Wouldn't Work!

So I peacefully protested the way I was mistreated at Carolinas Healthcare System by

1. Reporting to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
2. Reporting to CHS Human Resources
3. Writing about 20 articles online discussing my dissatisfaction with Carolinas Healthcare System
4. Bringing two small claims cases against Carolinas Healthcare System
5. Writing the CHS Chief Operating Officer

And at the end of the day, this is Carolinas Healthcare System response pictured above.

Essentially, it says (paraphrasing here)  "Nigga, we do not care about your feedback about our organization. You are not anyone special.  You don't have any political power, and don't forget that NC is an employment at will state. Keep it moving."

So in the case of the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager senselessly killed according to one side of the story, if the family did not have any political pull, then the police department was just going to count it as "another nigga down - who cares?"

But you see class action in the form of rioting and protesting and making some noise and standing up  and saying that the lives of Black youths have value despite our "class system" - now, everyone hears us.

Ferguson, MO 2014 Riot

These pictures are of a 2014 Civil Rights Protest in Ferguson, Missouri because an unarmed teenager was killed by a police officer. The identity of the officer had been purposely withheld, and some media coverage had been denied during initial protest days.  The scenes pictured are not much different from fifty years earlier (1960's).

Apartheid in South Africa required both violent and peaceful protesting to get justice.  The violent protesting gets everyone's attention paving the path for everyone to really appreciate the peaceful protesting.  I have not seen where progress has been made without some violence and suffering happening to the oppressor.

I engaged in a peaceful protest against Carolinas Healthcare System, and since no one died, there is no need to consider any type of violence.  But I am sure CHS has patients dying on a regular basis because they are a medical facility, and there are some "mistakes made" such as the case of Kenneth Chapman which resulted in a murder and suicide case and CHS reportedly reached a settlement with attorneys.  

But my main point is that Carolinas Healthcare System like many other political giants, do not value Black people's opinion unless they carry some strong circle of influence. Otherwise, Black people are just "blowing in the wind."
