If you have followed the story, you would know that Jordan Edwards was an excelling straight-A's student, star athlete, and a very likable individual. He never did drugs, alcohol, and wasn't doing things he shouldn't be doing. BUT, all of this unfortunately didn't matter in the eyes of others. All they saw was a Black kid at a party, probably another follower of "thug life" with a future in jail.

This story is just sadly one of many in the US, Canada, and West of minorities, especially Black men being mistaken for thieves and criminals, and being treated as such. And it's not just young black men in school or working, it also happens to senators, Army Majors, and other professionals as well!
I was personally shocked to learn of this! See http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/tim-scott-capitol-racism-senate-225507
If these types of accusations and aggression can happen to law abiding citizens and professionals, army Majors, and politicians, then it is absolute PROOF that racism is alive and well in this country and other ones as well, despite having a Black president for eight years.
All I can say is, do you want to live your life trying to prove to others your qualifications and that you are not a thief, or do you want to actually live? If you're like me, Africa is the way to go.
