Sometimes random; sometimes methodical musings of an Afromerican living somewhere between Africa and America. Auditory revelations, visual love potions and cultural representations showing African cultures around the planet. Oneness is reality.

"People are saying, 'You were not all there when we were just talking and trying to make a point, but if we set something on fire, all of a sudden you're all here. Why is that? What's the difference?'" he asked.

"Fuck the media."

“What will I tell my son of these times?” Rapper Pugs Atomz poses in the posting of this song. This song is fire. and so very relevant right now. Excited to hear him perform at our 50 Shots Project event in Chicago May 16th and hear this song live.

Did you hear about the black man in Baltimore that was killed, while in police custody?

1. Freddie Gray, who had 80% of his spine severed at his neck? No. the other one.

2. You mean Trayvon Scott, who in February died in a police holding cell without any explanation? No. the other one.

3. You mean Tyrone West, who despite never committing a crime, was beaten to death in an abandoned lot last year, and Baltimore refused to release the autopsy? No. the other one.

4. You mean George King, who was tased 5 times in 10 minutes while laying in a hospital bed, suffering from meningitis? No. the other one.

5. You mean Anthony Anderson, whose death was determined a homicide by the state’s medical examiner after being brutally beaten by police?

NO. the Other one.

I love the, “who despite never committing a crime,” one.  Like, if you have ever committed a crime, that somehow means that your death at police hands might actually be justified.

African-American Girls & Women Killed By Police: Speak Their Names. See Their Faces. Know Their Stories.

There is this false myth going around that Black women are not victims of police violence. I believe the myth exists because quite frankly the media, social justice organizations and we the public tend not to focus on it. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I hope this post will make all of us change our minds. Here are the stories of some of the Black women and girls killed by law enforcement:
