The recent marches in Hartford by people seeking social justice is one way to highlight the taking of lives by police officers in America. Michael Brown / Eric Garner were both killed by white cops that might have viewed these black men as "the other." Well, pip, pip, hooray for all those people taking to the streets and singing-praying or carrying signs. However there is an elephant sitting in the living room of Connecticut that for some reason is ignored by all those seekers of justice. The Department of Children and Families is a strong hold of racial animus. It has come to light -using DCF'S own data- that this organization targets black and Hispanic men for harsher / more frequent discipline than other groups employed at this agency. The last time DCF Plantation blog checked organizers of recent marches did not focus rallies at 505 Hudson Street, nor were there shouts of "black lives matter." Hell, when DCF terminates men of color this is a form of economic and employment death; but do not expect organizers of recent marches to grasp this concept, all they can do is march to the wrong places.
More on this subject in a future story.
