One young woman, whose nose was pierced and her hair orange...and the death of Michael Brown

FERGUSON, USA - A few days a go, a writer for Channel 4 News was in Ferguson watching and interviewing the folk as new"One young woman, whose nose was pierced and her hair orange, told me she was scared," wrote Kylie Morris on her blog obviously trying to disguise her bias of people different from her. Writing about the death of teenage boy Michael Brown, she further stated that he was from 'that' side of town. Then she went on to say that the 'young woman had a young brother. "It could have been him. It could have been her. Only because of the colour of their skin. She was called Diamond. She says that now, everything changes," Kylie continued.

What has this statement got to do with the murder of Michael Brown an innocent 14-year-old black boy shot dead by police. Did her nose piercing and colour of her hair be how she is described? Tonight family, friends and neigbouring took to the streets to protest about the justice for the teenager after the policeman who shot him was released without charge.
When stereotyping ends in the world, then perhaps, we will live together in harmony.
