Trying to do better!!

From facebook; mic drop.

So that last line punched me in the face so hard I hit the reblog button. Oh well.

My thing is the people chosen for the roles is where it doesn't add up taking 40+ years for new folx to play the roles is about something else. But nice to give slant on the films. Black panther is more than that simple explanation you gave. Look into who were the jaguar people and where the black panther is indigenous to!!! That may get you started

On this day last year 23-year-old Korryn Gaines was killed by Baltimore County police and her 5-year-old son was shot in the limb.

She was wanted for a traffic violation, but apparently a SWAT team thought she was way too dangerous for them to try and arrest her without fatally shooting her.

I still think about Korryn a lot.

let’s not forget the dumb mfs who tried to blame her death on her

@svckmyblog oh I remember people trying to say it was her fault she died it was so disappointing and one of the many reasons Say HER Name was important

They have finagled the regulatory process to exclude community groups, unions, local entrepreneurs, women, African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, colleges, universities or local government entities from even being able to ask about getting channels https://t.co/6DcwqzqbAN

It’s not that they didn’t know how to, they didn’t want to cause this sounds amazing!

This movie was fantastic, the story was incredible, & the cinematography was beautiful.

Video shows Maryland cops REPEATEDLY pepper spray 15-year-old honor roll student.

5 ft 105 lbs girl, whose name has not been officially released yet, was brutalized by Hagerstown police after she on her bike was hit by a car, but refused medical assistance. 

Her family’s attorney says that when police arrived, they grabbed the little girl, lifted her hands above her head and slammed her face into a wall.

They slammed her against a wall, arrested her for refusing treatment, maced her 4 times in the police car while handcuffed, and took her to the police station instead of the hospital.

She was put in the car, which is when a bystander began filming the incident. The video shows the 15-year-old with her hands handcuffed behind her back kicking at the police car door and later a cop is heard saying: “Put your feet in, or you’re going to get sprayed!” Officer proceeds to pepper spray her a few times. 

The girl can be heard screaming: “I can’t breathe!”

The girl was only taken to hospital when she was released to her parents. 

Three hours after being pepper sprayed she was finally able to wash her eyes.

She is now charged with disorderly conduct, two counts of second-degree assault, possession of marijuana and failure to obey a traffic device.

This is torture. They tortured her for fucking fun.

just keep in mind they took Dylan Roof into custody wearing a bullet proof vest to protect him from anyone that may try to kill him THEN they bought him Burger King to eat after the arrest. 

But this is how they treat an innocent child.

UPDATE

Elexus Jionde faces barrage of harassment after tweeting about 9/11 and black history

Jionde’s tweetstorm on black history prompted a largely positive response. However, it also triggered an onslaught of harassment, including racist comments and death threats.

“I’ve received death threats, racist jokes, and a lot of tweets regarding my future children having cancer. That [first] tweet has since gone viral, and without the 40+ tweets accompanying it, there are people in my mentions telling me that I’m a disgrace to my race and country for saying 9/11 only killed white people, when that isn’t what I said at all.”

Jionde believes that her thread being disabled was “no accident,” and she has accused Twitter of deliberately removing the thread.

“I believe Twitter deliberately unconnected the thread to deprive people of context. Some will say that it was some sort of system glitch or whatever, but I personally believe they disabled my thread because someone in the office was offended over the first tweet.”

Twitter outrightly denies this, suggesting that the problem could be the result of a bug. 

“We can confirm that no proactive measures were taken to remove specific replies from this thread and are looking into this, in the event that a bug may have impacted it,” Twitter’s head of communications, Kristin Binns, told BuzzFeed News.

Twitter removes people’s posts all the time so their statement is bullshit. Twitter has deliberately worked against activists/activism as well so like.. free speech though right? Anyway I hope she has a paypal link

If you do not see color that means you do not see me and I do NOT want that energy around me.

If you do not agree with me being PRO BLACK before anything then you can kindly and I say this with my whole heart unfollow me.

Police and State sanctioned violence is a global problem.

This is so fucking stupid. Obviously that's why you're protesting. Don't bring your kids though! If adults are losing eyes to rubber bullets during this, what makes you think your child would be remotely okay in this environment?? It's not about the protesting when people criticize this, it's about the fact that you're putting a child directly in harm's way. Go to the protests! Support BLM! But don't bring your fucking kids!

^^^^ right? Her point isn’t making any sense at all.

Adults can protest all they want but kids should be left out of it because we know cops are trigger happy and can go off at any moment and are racist and hateful so children shouldn’t be put in harms way on PURPOSE.

Anyway leave your kids at home. Period.

To clarify, the child wasn't actually at a protest; the duo were bystanders trying to go home in the opposite direction and the police maced the child anyway.

OP is addressing everyone who IMMEDIATELY jumped on the defense of the officer bc "kids shouldn't be at protests" instead of addressing that what the officer did was wrong.

That’s not true at all. They were protesting. They couldnt have been walking in the opposite direction because that means they would’ve been gone through the line of cops that were completely blocking the other side of the street. It’s just not possible.

I just screen recorded the video where the little girl was maced and I didn’t know we couldn’t post videos in reblogs but I’ll send it to you.

we should not engage in victim shaming when we all know that violent police are the problem, not peaceful protestors.

get that officer's name and badge number and get him fired, make other cops think twice before indiscriminately macing people.

There’s no victim shaming going on at all. The fact of the matter is that kids don’t belong at protests. Not once did I defend the cops or shame the parents.

His name/face is currently all over and people are calling for him to be fired.

white people are very brave when it comes to terrorizing black children who do not have the power to fight back. and are very surprise when someone comes to their defense.

I will reblog until I die.

Nice!!
