You know these beheadings just keep on happening, and yet there seems little concern about them among most Americans... Have we been that desensitized about them, or do we, as Africans, need a few brothas to get their heads chopped off for us to get hopping mad???
What do you guys think would be our response, Jesse Jackson and Sharpton's response, were one of us to show up in one of those videos blindfolded, and with our captors proclaiming us as the next victim??? Are we going to get angry about Africans having their heads chopped off, especially after having demonstrated very little emotion about Europeans suffering the same fate???
On a personal level, I would be straight pissed off if those arabs did that to a brother... But knowing I didn't shed too many tears over the others in those videos, I know I'd come off as pretty prejudiced... Oh, well...
