He was an activist who inspired millions to fight for their rights. He knew what was wrong with our country and risked his life to help his people achieve equality. In the society where black were treated like animal he did everything possible to change this. His brave soul, his will and courage changed the history of America , changed the people. He made us believe we can win this war. He payed for it with his life. He will always be remembered.
A group of NFL players did just invested $810,000 into Me & the Bees Lemonade, a beverage company run by 12-year-old Mikaila Ulmer, who has become popular for following her dreams.
That’s 3x black excellence already. A girl ,who is a brilliant businesswoman already, players, who support black owned businesses and a united community ,where everybody is ready to help each other, I’m so proud of all of them. This is our future, our chance to succeed and a beautiful example of how community can help you if we stay united as one,

Chokehold IS BANNED, yet none of the police officers have even been disciplined for it.
Six teenagers from the Burundi robotics team, who had come to Washington to compete in an international competition, were reported missing to D.C. police on Wednesday, according to police reports.
The missing teenagers range in age from 16 to 18 and include four males and two females, police said
Police identified the missing teenagers on Twitter as:
Richard Irakoze, 18, a black male with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-11, 140 pounds;
Kevin Sabumukiza, 17, a black male with a medium complexion who is 6-foot-4, 160 pounds;
Nice Munezero, 17, a black female with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-7, 140 pounds;
Aristide Irambona, 18, a black male with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-6, 130 pounds;
Don Ingabire, 16, a black male with a medium complexion who is 5-foot-8, 130 pounds;
Audrey Mwamikazi, 17, a black female with a dark complexion who is 5-foot-3, 130 pounds.
We’re living in such a scary world and we, as a community, can’t let this go unnoticed. This racism and hatred black people experience every day in America might have become the reason these teens are missing right now. Share this to find them as soon as possible, because you can save a life. If you have any information about them- call the police. Don’t stay aside.

2 of these 6 have been spotted attempting to cross into Canada. It is presumed these teens are attempting to hide out to avoid returning to their own country, which is has a long history of violence and unrest.
Authorities do not belief foul okay was involved.

Mentally ill prisoners in Louisiana were made to bark like dogs for food, new lawsuit claims
A lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that when investigators with a mental health advocacy group showed up to tour David Wade Correctional Center in Louisiana, they learned they wouldn’t be speaking to inmates.
They wouldn’t even speak with staff. Everyone had been instructed not to answer the investigators’ questions.
One of the lawyers from New Orleans, Katie Schwartzmann, handed a piece of paper with her name on it to an inmate. The staff took it away.
The investigators were there to look into allegations of “serious abuse” against incarcerated mentally ill individuals.
Reports to the Advocacy Center said that disabled people who are incarcerated at David Wade Correctional Center have been beaten, slapped, kicked, stripped of their clothing in the winter and sprayed with mace and bleach. One report to the center said that disabled inmates were made to bark like dogs for food. Read more (7/21/17)

I just left a plantation tour in Louisiana. I have a lot to say…
SAY IT!
I honestly thought I knew everything about slavery. Not so.
The owner of this particular plantation had it built by slaves for 3 years. Every brick was handmade. Over 120,000 bricks on 2,000+ acres of land (this place was huge.) The clay used for the bricks came from the Mississippi River. The majority of the slaves are buried under the Levees and water. Some are buried with their Masters. Not allowed to live with them but could be dead with them.
Before you enter the house, there’s a list of slaves who lived here including their age and how much they were purchased for. 124 total. Some slaves were worth as little as $25. As young as 5 years old.
On this particular plantation, the owner was big on punishment…he used noise making neck restraints. Imagine three 4lb balls around your neck with bells inside. Children were restrained by ankle locks that connected between their ankles.
This was a sugar cane plantation, one the worst practices to involve slaves because of its danger. A lot of slaves were decapitated, amputees and killed from the fields and machinery. A lot of kids lost their lives creating sugar. Speaking of children, a child stood in the living room and operated the fan with a string while guests ate dinner. As young as 3 years old.
Here’s what shook me even further: Before the Civil War, a lot of slave owners were going in debt and could not afford their properties and were not producing enough cotton and sugar to maintain their lifestyles. Slaves were used as HUMAN CREDIT CARDS. Slaves were a guaranteed line of credit. You could get HALF of your property’s value depending on how many healthy and able slaves you owned.
My people were human credit cards and lines of credit to BANKS. We were property. We were labeled as equipment and nothing more.
There is no such thing as a good slave owner. They owned my PEOPLE and used them as checks and balances. This cycle continues with prison and brutality. I do not want to hear shit about “Why can only Black people say this or that?” I don’t want to hear shit about “we’re all human.”
And by the way, not one of those slaves are at rest. Those spirits were so alive, you could feel their presence, their pain and someday, their revenge.
The front of the house and yard. This plantation was huge. Just thinking about my ancestors tending to all this land…
SOME of the enslaved names, ages, race and purchase price.
The living room.
Interior.
The dining room. That piece hanging above the table is ORIGINAL to the house. That’s the fan that a slave as young as 3 years old had to operate manually with a string.
The view from the balcony in the main hallway. This is how they looked over the slaves while they worked in the yard.
*sigh* Names of the enslaved that occupied the shacks. Children included. Their names are written inside one of the shacks. I’m not sure if there are other names inside other shacks because I could only handle 2. After I saw the punishment equipment, I left.
Slave Shacks. These are NOT the original shacks. These were built to imitate them.
Slaves for Sale Ads.
The landscape of Slavery throughout the United States in 1860. JUST 1860. Let that sink in.
Note: The last time the home was OWNED by a Louisiana citizen was 1972. This is her original bedroom, her lipstick is STILL on the dresser. This is why the house has been updated since slavery times because it was occupied up until 1972. Regardless, this used to be where house slaves slept.
Jesus.
Those slave quarters look just like the homes in many low income neighborhoods. Curb n all. While massa sittin up in his mansion.
i have a deep respect for scotland because i was at an ireland vs scotland football match and their chant was “we hate england more than you”
one time at a germany vs scotland game some german fans started the “stand up if you hate england” chant and the whole stadium stood up
WHAT DID WE DO?!
When old people in England complain about all of the immigrants, I always reply:
“Well then perhaps England shouldn’t have run around the planet sticking its dick in every bloody country. Inviting them over for tea is the least England can do.”
Beyoncé meme: Blue Ivy
“Out of everything I’ve accomplished, my proudest moment hands down was when I gave birth to my daughter Blue.”
White British people withdrew their sympathy for those Grenfell victims real quick boy. And still many are left homeless, the money raised by many individuals and charities has not reached them etc. Sorry that most didn’t fit into your idea of what it means to be “British”. Brown and black lives aren’t disposable bruv, wtf man.
The history of the black body in the Americas is a chronicle of terror: enslavement, domination, subjection, and confinement. Memories of suffering are excised in the flesh. The body acts as witness to cruel repressions of history. The undocumented, discounted, and forgotten events we no longer choose to remember leave their traces on the body. It has withstood the unimaginable; the body has existed as an object of property, harnessed as a productive and reproductive machine, and acculturated and disciplined through monumental acts of violence. The body has been confined, despised, bestialized, and desired. The white man’s burden has been seared into the black flesh.
