Well the proof that many of these killings are most likely motivated by race can be found in the emails and text messages that white police officers around the country are sending out.

Across the country, emails have been leaked that show extremely racist content, with the majority of the content depicting Melanoid people in a very mean-spirited way. In Ferguson, Missouri, a city now immersed in infamy for its instances of racial injustices. One of the emails referenced the contrived stereotypes of Black men who supposedly rape white women in large numbers. It reads like this:

“Two black guys are at a bar talking. One says to the other, ‘You ever notice after you have sex with a white woman that your eyes burn, your nose burns and you get all teary-eyed?’ The second black guy says, ‘Yeah all the time.’ The other says, ‘Why is that?’ The second guy says, ‘I think it’s the pepper spray.’”

Here’s another email from the Ferguson Police Department.

“An African-American woman in New Orleans was admitted into the hospital for a pregnancy termination. Two weeks later, she received a check for $5,000. She phoned the hospital to ask who it was from. The hospital said, ‘Crimestoppers.”

Ferguson isn’t the only city where its police department’s employees indulge in white supremacist humor. San Francisco just saw its police department suspend eight officers for exchanging racist text messages, and they will likely be fired for the texts. In Florida, Fort Lauderdale’s police department terminated three officers and one resigned after it was discovered that a homemade video in which Blacks were portrayed in a sinister light. As a result of the officers leaving the force in Ft. Lauderdale, dozens of criminal charges were dropped against Black men, because it was determined that the charges against the men were racially motivated.

Police officers in Louisiana were also investigated for racist texts and Facebook posts against Black citizens.

Several police officers in Ohio were also caught sending racist emails and text messages about Black people. One particular Fair View Park,OH police officer named Aaron McNamara even publicly went so far as to say Black people “should be exterminated”.

So we are living in a so-called civilized nation where police officers who are sworn in by the government to uphold the laws of the government,are sending racist texts and emails talking about harming Black citizens based on the color of their skin. And then we see police officers going out and acting on these racial views displayed in the text messages and emails that are being shared by white cops around the country.

The U.N has specific treaties that are supposed to be against the genocide of a particular race of people. If what is happening to Melanoid people in America who are classified as Black does not qualify as genocide,then what does?
