To the Tulsa Christmas Parade organizers:
We can't breathe. And, we are asking you to cancel this year's parade, in a show of respect and solidarity with the truly neediest of America's criminal injustice system. We are also asking Tulsa Police to stand down, in a show of cooperation and community unity.
Have some guts to show the world you care for the most vulnerable among us this Christmas. How can we celebrate Christian values, knowing there are two Christmases, one white, another black?
The Eric Garner police chokehold homicide clearly shows the true plight of two Americas. We ask you to show some modicum of humanity for this gross injustice toward your fellow American.
This is not just a black problem, or a brown problem, or a Native American problem. It's an American tragedy.
Please consider our NON-violent request. Until ALL Americans enjoy the same rights, the same justice, no one will enjoy the same Christmas. In the grand words of JFK, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Thank you.
