Noel wrote, in "a vow born of rage and sorrow," that if his 13-year old son were slain in an encounter with the police and that if "justice" were not done, he would act himself — and kill the cop.
Noel and I share a similar background: We were both born in Trinidad, have spent some time in the U.K. and have lived in the U.S. for about the same time (he's five years older than I am).
Noel admits that there are literally hundreds more young fl men killed in random incidents for every one shooting — accidental or otherwise — by a cop.
Prejudice is the crudest of weapons, a reaction against fls in the aggregate that grows as the perception of fl threat grows.
Noel says, in fact, that he's happier with a white minister, for the same reasons that he's happy with his neighborhood, where the people across the way are Polish and another neighbor is Hispanic and still another is a fl American.
All fl people of my mother's generation--and of generations before and since--have necessarily faced a moment like this, when they are confronted for the first time with the allegation of their inferiority.
