Student Disagrees With History Teacher About Native American Genocide – Gets Expelled by Lara Starr September 8, 2016

A Native American student at Cal State Sacramento University was told by her history teacher that there was no genocide against the indigenous population of North America. When the student, Chiitaanibah Johnson, took issue with this claim and challenged him, she was ejected from the class and expelled.

The professor said he didn’t care for the term “genocide” as he didn’t think it accurately describes what happened in relation to Native American history.

This is what we know has happened thanks to Vincent Schilling, writing for Indian Country Today Media Network.

This is beyond disgusting.

Jazzy Rowe could have died, because of her roommates racism. The school tried to intimidate her into silence, but she speaking out and the multi cultural organizations at the school are meeting tomorrow (Nov. 1st) to support her.

[reverseracism]

The Woman who openly admitted to poisoning her roommate is Brianna “Breezy” Borchu. She was the roommate of Jazzy Rowe at The University of Hartford.

[reverseracism]

According to this website article, Brianna Borchu has recently been arrested.

JAZZY COULD HAVE DIED.

Brianna Brochu was literally poisoning this young woman because of her race. One could even argue that this was an attempted murder.. because it definitely was a HATE CRIME.

She only received 2 charges. 1) 2nd degree Breach of Peace 2) 3rd degree Criminal Mischief

[reverseracism]

Finally, her mugshot was released.

[love-to-love-puppies]

What the actual fuck? That girl’s a fucking psychopath

[witchyrem-ains]

Both charges only carry a 6 month sentence each. Brianna has been released on a 1000 dollar bail. As of November 1st, Brianna is still a student at Hartford and hasn’t had her 4 year scholarship revoked.

I’m calling BULLSHIT.

[sauvamente]

Jonathan Wateridge, Paintings.

Artist Jonathan Wateridge creates his work by “building full-scale sets and using performers to enact roles, within the context of the studio, in order to set up questions about the way we frame and understand notions of the real.”  The paintings are then created with a “painterly realism as a ‘default setting’ by which to view the world, curbing any excesses of expressive style to emphasise not only the often fleeting, banal and everyday quality of the scenes depicted but also the nature of their construction.”

Wonder how fast we could crowdfund it.

[zeusisblack]

Didn’t they arrest him?

[lagonegirl]

oh man. he dead… 

[sardonic-salt-mine]

His name is Edward Crawford.

[zibelstardust]

For real tho. He was hands down murdered by the police. A lot of notable figures from Ferguson were found dead in the same manner and police labeled them all suicides which ,as we all know, is complete and utter bullshit.

If we could get statues of anyone it really is Edward Crawford. If I can get in contact with a sculptor or some shit with permission from Crawford’s family I will set up the Fund Page in a heart beat.

[hoekagei]

Omg he died!?!

[blockmind]

Like they said, Edward died in a suspicious manner similar to several other notable protestors officially ruled a suicide and here’s some links:

This Artist (@sparklyfawn) Started An Important Hashtag So Black Artists Can Get The Recognition They Deserve

“I just want the black artist[s] to know that they are just as worthy. Black artist[s] have to work twice as hard as their white peers just to be seen,” Hayford said.

Hayford said they are so grateful for everyone who participated in the hashtag: “I feel warm inside. People were sharing their experiences under the hashtag. It’s nice to know that I am not alone, and I love the sense of togetherness that the hashtag has created.”
