One more innocent black man was shot by the police.

His name was Alfred Olango. He was having a seizure, when our brave police officers shot him five times. Alfred’s sister called for help, because her brother was a mentally ill person, police showed up and a few minutes later her brother was dead.

“I called you to help me but you killed my brother….Why couldn’t you guys tase him? Why why why why?” the sister says…

Multiple witnesses say he was unarmed and had his hands up, when he got shot.

Another day, another hashtag, another person killed by the police.

Last week, a Blue Island, Illinois 15-year-old was punished for refusing to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance.

Shemar Cooper refused to stand for the pledge, because as he says “America does not expect blacks”. The first time he didn’t stand up she came up to him and told him to participate, however he didn’t give up. The next day he refused to stand up again, but this time he was forced to. His teacher made him do this and continued to harass him during the whole week.

After his mother found out about the incident she was outraged and she wants charges filed against the teacher.

This teacher needs to be punished for his actions. It’s against the law to violate kid’s First Amendment rights, so why do we even need rights, when we can’t exercise them?

Louisville’s high school banned all natural hairstyles for black people such as dreadlocks and cornrows

It’s hard to be a black person in America, but it’s even harder when you are not allowed to be yourself at school. At a place that is meant to let you learn something while not having any issues with being natural. 

Here is what you get in American school( Butler High School in Louisville):

“This is absolutely institutionalize racism,” said Butler parent Landie Rucker, whose daughter has attended the school for three years.

There is no way you can find any arguments this SH*T is not RACIST.

So if you have you natural hair, you are banned from school. What’s next? Banning for having brown eyes?
