August 8 2015 - Mexican community activist Miguel Angel Jimenez led the yearlong search for the 43 missing Ayotzinapa students. On August 8, he was found dead in a car in the state of Guerrero. Many people blame the Mexican state for the deaths because of a culture of massive corruption and impunity. [video]/[video]

Are you saying that you can’t talk about race issues to Middle America? Are they so delicate and unaware and maybe so white that Beyoncé is too much for them?

You know what’s right in the middle of America? Ferguson, Missouri.

Can someone explain to me the logic behind this because I am honestly baffled

The second one apparently celebrates the Black Panthers , a famous black supremist group

goldnpoc

Black Panthers is an organization about black empowerment and help black people get back up when they were brought down by white people. Unfortunately, it does not exist anymore. But that ugly ass flag does. Lol stop making up shit.

Except the black panthers group is considered to be the same as the kkk because African Americans went out to purposely kill whites. If you’re against the kkk but are ok with the black panthers then congratulations you’re a hypocritical ass hat who doesn’t deserve to speak.

It’s incredibly telling that at the core of every white supremacist scenario is the fear that black people will simply do the same things that have been done to them

I mean, fuck, let’s just ask Wikipedia what the Black Panthers were about?

The Black Panther Party or BPP (originally the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense) was a revolutionary black nationalist and socialist organization active in the United States from 1966 until 1982, with its only international chapter operating in Algeria from 1969 until 1972.

Wait, Self-Defense? Well I mean, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything, I’m sure the KKK thinks they’re “defending themselves” too. Let’s keep going.

At its inception on October 15, 1966, the Black Panther Party’s core practice was its armed citizens’ patrols to monitor the behavior of police officers and challenge police brutality in Oakland, California.

Oh. They were literally founded to fight police brutality, something that’s still a huge issue today. That… doesn’t sound like a black KKK at all, does it?

In 1969, community social programs became a core activity of party members. The Black Panther Party instituted a variety of community social programs, most extensively the Free Breakfast for Children Programs, and community health clinics.

They set up health clinics and free breakfast for children? Sounds like they should be sainted, not demonized. So why do people think they were so awful again?

Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover called the party “the greatest threat to the internal security of the country”, and he supervised an extensive program (COINTELPRO) of surveillance, infiltration, perjury, police harassment, and many other tactics designed to undermine Panther leadership, incriminate party members, discredit and criminalize the Party, and drain the organization of resources and manpower. The program was also accused of using assassination against Black Panther members.

Oh, right. J. Edgar Hoover, and his super-illegal “counterintelligence’ program designed to spy on and discredit such dangerous radical groups as feminists, anti-colonial movements, Vietnam War protesters, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Their primary tactics included abuse of the legal system to make these groups appear criminal through false evidence and wrongful imprisonment. They also used slander and outright impersonation to make “leftist” organizations look bad, going as far as to put out false media stories, fake publications supposedly from the groups, and even entire faked meetups and violent demonstrations by agents claiming to be operating under the group’s banner.

So yeah. Black Panthers were a community organization group that fought against police violence, but somehow people got in their head that they were the black KKK. Thanks Hoover.

this is the information age. the days of you willfully ignorant crackers making up shit about Black people off the top of your head and going unchallenged are OVER. i’m reblogging because i appreciate some of you being still willing to educate them about shit they are supposed to already know. me, i’m above explaining simple things to ignorant white people. they get nothing from me but pure disdain contempt and blatant mockery for their stupidity, at this point.

Pure black roses do exist. The roses appear to be completely black, with the signature green stem. Called the Turkish Halfeti Rose, they only grow in exceptionally small numbers in the village of Halfeti, Turkey.

The local Turks seem to enjoy a love-hate relationship with these rare blossoms. They consider the flowers to be symbols of mystery, hope and passion, and also death and bad news. Unfortunately, the black roses of Halfeti are an endangered species. They have been under threat of extinction ever since the residents of the village moved from ‘old Halfeti’ in the 1990s, when the Birecik Dam was constructed.
