Institutionalized Racism in America

President Obama: Sign an executive order to help end discriminatory and violent policing http://act.colorofchange.org/sign/execorder/

My optional comment is as follows:

As a white Missourian and a former St. Louis resident and mayoral appointee, I am ashamed of the overt racism exhibited by residents here. And it is obvious to me that institutionalized racism, bigotry, and hate is at the root of the ignorance exhibited by its citizenry. Allowing it to continue without consequence is tantamount to condoning it.
