The Move Organization is a Black Liberation group from Philadelphia started by John Africa in 1972. According to the group, the word MOVE is not an acronym. It means exactly what it says: MOVE, work, generate, be active. Their philosophy is everything that’s alive moves and If it didn’t, it would be stagnant, dead. Movement is their principle of Life. Self Defense is also one of their principles of life and On May 13, 1985 they definitely showed that. The confrontation began when police came to their house over 100 strong with guns aimed and demanded the MOVE members come outside. Still angry from the 1978 confrontation with police, which resulted in 9 MOVE members being sentenced to 30 to 100 years in prison, they refused. The police then began throwing tear gas and opening fire at the house. The MOVE house had been built as a bunker and they began shooting back. After hours of shooting, the Police called for a helicopter and dropped a BOMB on the house. Yup, you read right. The cops dropped a bomb in the middle of a neighborhood in Philly. It’s Crazy how far America will go to subdue Black people. After the bomb dropped, 65 homes were destroyed and 11 people including 5 small children were killed. As the survivors of the MOVE house began to surrender, police continued to open fire at them with automatic weapons. One of the MOVE children actually ran into a burning house to avoid being shot by police. She would later be found burned to death. There is a great documentary that was released that illustrates the constant police brutality they faced and the bombing.
Today 29 years later, the MOVE 9, like many other black political prisoners, continue to sit in Prison and each year they are denied the right to parole. In a system that has always been so hell bent against us, one must wonder, When Will We Overcome?
“Revolution starts with the individual. It starts with a person making a personal commitment to do what’s right. You can’t turn someone into a revolutionary by making them chant slogans or wave guns. To understand revolution, you must be sound. Revolution is not imposed upon another, it is kindled within them. A person can talk about revolution, but if they are still worshiping money, or putting drugs into their body, they obviously haven’t committed themselves to doing what’s right. Revolution is not a philosophy, it is an activity.” MOVE

#ViolenceWillNotBeTolerated (11/12/14): Twitter had a special message to Gov. Jay Nixon, who had the audacity to tell protesters “violence will not be tolerated” and “the world is watching.” Seems he forgot that the world watched the violence of his state’s corrupt cops throughout the protest. #staywoke #farfromover
Study finds white people still think Black people are magical
The stereotype of the “magical Negro” didn’t vanished with the Antebellum South. New research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science has found that whites continue to hold superstitious beliefs about black people. In America. In 2014.
A series of studies found that white people look upon blacks with a “superhumanization bias,” or the idea that black people have preternatural or otherwise uncommon abilities. This is may sound like good news, but it’s not.
Those stereotypes are part of the way whites have historically justified the domination of black people.
“For example, whether white perception of black immunity to pain has more to do with stereotypes of increased toughness or dehumanization, the result is that whites are probably less able to recognize the suffering of black folk. That might explain why whites are quicker to assume young black men are dangerous or that young black offenders are more “adult” than white ones in the sentencing process. As the Huffington Post’s H.A. Goodman writes, white empathy with black suffering would require challenging a status quo that largely benefits whites.”
*nodding along normally to a study demonstrating what black people have been saying*
“In other words, exoticizing black people relegates them to roles subservient to whites in society. Hopefully these stereotypes will vanish as the white majority does; current projections have found that current minority groups will outnumber white people in the U.S. within 30 years.”
* ugly cackling*
Mexico’s Attorney General, Jesus Murillo, said that suspected members of a drug gang have confessed to killing more than 40 students who have been missing for six weeks. The gang members claimed the students were handed over to them for execution by the police .. (story here)
This is so important and needs to be read by all people. We are living in a society filled with corruption to fulfill the lives of people who hold power over us. This happened in Mexico, but this could happen anywhere. The fact that people were murdered over trying to shed truth on the reality we live in is the saddest thing of all. Get it fucking together.

This amazing little boy who plans to be a neurosurgeon and an astronaut, the youngest person to ever attend Oxford University, is “the face of the National Autistic Society’s Black and Minority (BME) campaign.” (And his father and he discuss what it’s like to living with autism [or with an autistic kid]).
I might have to reblog this everyday because the truth tea is scalding and y’all look thirsty.
The exploitation of African-Americans through the use of media is obvious from the films above.
1. Little Rascals (1920’s) - The coon character is one of the most insulting of all anti-black characters. The name itself is an abbreviation of raccoon and dehumanizing. As with Sambo, the coon was portrayed as a lazy, easily frightened, chronically idle, inarticulate, buffoon.
2. King Kong (1930’s) - The brute character portrays black men as innately savage, animalistic, destructive, and criminal — deserving punishment, maybe death. This brute is a fiend, a sociopath, an anti-social menace. Black brutes are depicted as hideous, terrifying predators who target helpless victims, especially white women. It’s been suggested that King Kong was a veiled allegory of the life of boxer Jack Johnson, who married two white women during his lifetime and was even arrested for taking one across state lines.
3. Shaft (1970’s) - Blaxploitation films are mainly set in poor neighborhoods. Ethnic stereotypes against white characters, such as “crackers” and “honky”, and other derogatory names are common plot and or character elements.
4. Lethal Weapon (1980’s) - African American males are typically cast in specific roles in American film. The usual suspects include the black sidekick of a white protagonist, the token black person, the comedic relief, the athlete, the ladies’ man, and most damaging, the violent black man.
5. Menace to Society (1990’s) - In the 1990s the typical cinema and television, the brute was nameless — sometimes faceless; he sprang from a hiding place, he robbed, raped, and murdered. He represented the cold brutality of urban life. Often he was a gangbanger.
6. Norbit (2000’s) - This was the mammy caricature, and, like all caricatures, it contained a little truth surrounded by a larger lie. The caricature portrayed an obese, coarse, maternal figure. She had great love for her white “family,” but often treated her own family with disdain.
Be careful while watching television (tell-our-vision) because it is a Lethal Weapon that can turn Little Rascals into a Menace to society!!!!
Beware of self perpetuationg stereotypes! Each of these kinds of propaganda are images used to keep black people submissive. Specifically black people, because every person of color outside the diaspora has his or her own degrading stereotypes. We as Afro-Americans are so inclusive with our struggles that we do not believe that there is a real divide between black people and even Latino immigrants in America. In the end, we are all human, but we must be able to understand the systemic devalue, separation and disenfranchisement of all peoples in order to appreciate ours as well.

Malcolm X on "Progress"
Is it not a common defense that "black people asre just too sensitive?" Or that we always assume racism dealing with certain situations and that we're obviously mistaken?
#saveoursons #blacklivesmatter #trayvonmartin #mikebrown #keithwarren Based on the facts and evidence, it is not clear whether any police were involved in Keith Warren's death. It is also not our aim to suggest so without proof. The question that we ask rather, is whether or not there is an intrinsic value of life in our contemporary world? By the looks of it, unless it's skin is without pigment, or it is not affixed with the right price tag, it does not.
More Questions Unanswered
Officers made no mention in their notes that it seemed there was any foul play involved in the death of Keith Warren.
In the late steam of July 1986, first responders wasted no time shipping his body to the morgue where there were no proper medical examinations performed, and embalmed immediately.
One of the officers made note on the scene of Keith’s previous medical history and mandated that depression must have driven him to the worst.
Keith’s death was ruled a suicide no more than 24 hours after the beginning of the investigation without any credible evidence to suggest that theory.
Why wouldn’t they first contact his next of kin? Why would there be a need to expedite medical procedures? Why hadnt there been a thourough investigation of the scene with a better interpretation of the shaky evidence that had been collected?

Who is Keith Warren?
Who is Keith Warren and why is his death important for other’s to know about?
Keith W. Warren was a nineteen year old adolescent and resident of the Silver Spring, Maryland area. He was the eldest son of Ms. Mary Couey, who also had a younger daughter named Sherri. Keith was by definition the typical son of a family of color, living in a predominantly white town less than two decades removed from the civil rights movement.
On July 31, 1989 after being missing for two days, Keith was found hanging from a small tree not far from his home in Silver Spring. The Montgomery County police department botched the investigation, keeping pertinent evidence from his family. It is believed that the shantily conduction investigation was carried out as a means of covering up the true nature of his death.

12 year old black boy shot by a white cop for having a BB gun. I’m fucking disgusted. The boy is fighting for his life right now.
There’s an American Classic movie “A Christmas Story” about a young white boy getting a BB gun for Christmas. It’s one of the most watched holiday movies in this country.
But they want to continue to spout out this nonsense, claiming that there’s no white privilege.
The boy died this morning
The 71 members of the KILUS Magniniyog (KM71) represent all coconut farmers in the Philippines who are pleading for humane operations and standard of living amidst the country’s prosperous coconut industry. Supported by the Catholic Bishop Council of the Philippines (CBCP), the coconut farmers from all over the Philippines begin their 1,750-km march from Davao City in Mindanao to the Malacañang Palace in Metro Manila on September 21.
According to Pia Ranada of Rappler.com, “In 2012, the Supreme Court decided that 24% of San Miguel Corporation stocks were bought by the Marcos administration using coco levy funds collected from smallholder coconut farmers. Therefore, the money, now amounting to around P71 billion ($1.6 billion), should go back to the government and be used specifically for the benefit of coconut farmers.”
Their two-month march seeks to personally appeal to President Benigno Aquino III to sign the Executive Order that urges the recovery and perpetual protection of the P71 B Coconut Farmers’ Trust Fund.
The Ateneo community welcomes the farmers as they arrive in the Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) on November 20. Students and farmers of various religions gather as one faith and one humanity against injustice.
