#Repost @jo_lorenz ・・・ Monday morning, NYC: a black man named Christian Cooper asked a white woman called Amy Cooper to leash her dog. Affronted to have her white privilege encroached upon, this woman warned Christian that she was going to call 911 to “tell them there’s an African-American man threatening my life”. All of this on film. All of this an entitled white woman weaponising her whiteness against a black man. . Monday evening, MN: a black man named George Floyd tragically dies as onlookers looked on in horror, because a white police officer kneeled on his neck for seven long, appalling minutes. . Two incidents - separated by 12 hours - that monstrously illustrate the mutilated state of race in America. And these atrocities are clearly not in isolation: #GeorgeFloyd #EricGarner #BreonnaTaylor #AhmaudArbery #CoreyJones #WalterScott #MichaelBrown #DontreHamilton #TamirRice #AltonSterling #PhilandoCastile #TravyonMartin Say their names! This individual + systemic racism is a regular occurrence! . But none of this is breaking news. You all know this. So why aren’t you doing more? I have asked myself the same question. . To my fellow white followers: how many black people need to die for you to take this personally? How much bloodshed do you need to weaponise your whiteness AGAINST systemic racism?! Shock is not enough. Shaking your head in disbelief is not enough. You need to be ANTI-RACIST. You need to question your own thoughts around race. You need to be outraged. You need to call out racism. You need to accept that your white privilege shields you from the atrocities committed to people of colour + use that privilege to fight racism. You need to get active. You need to email your local political rep + ask them what they’re doing to support people of colour in your district. You need to be IN THIS!
. Ending systemic racism is a personal + systemic revolution. We all need to acknowledge the deep fundamental structural racism that exists within our countries + communities, and face these racial injustices head-on to move forward together. . Equity, respect, volition for ALL people. Ending systemic racism is THE revolution. Do you have the balls to join it? # https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyBBK-B1NR/?igshid=1w31tob6qs2u

Regrann from @therealremyredd - @the.root ・・・ #DontreHamilton was killed by police in 2014 after a #Starbucks employee called the cops on him. Dontre’s brother, Nate, says the recent arrests of 2 black men at a #Philadelphia Starbucks hits too close to home. See full video on #TheRoot. #BoycottStarbucks ---------------------------------------------------- If we don’t start supporting our own and building our own communities . They will always control us and our children. We will be leaving a situation worse than we are in for our kids. Does that not scare you? That our children may have to fight an even harder fight, than the one we are right fighting right now. That our ignorance will be the bullet that kills our children’s future. Think about that for a second. History is repeating itself. Are we going to act like we don’t see it ???? Until we unite and support our own. We must take responsibility for allowing them to do this to us. --------------------------------------------------- #therealremyredd

Today's coffee cup battled schizophrenia. Cops were called to roust him from a park bench. He was cooperative until one of them tried to pat him down. He struggled and was shot 14 times. #DontreHamilton #BlackLivesMatter #SayTheirNames #NoJusticeNoPeace #MentalIllness #ink #drawing #portrait #TodaysCoffeeCup https://www.instagram.com/p/CB23Ms7hSt_/?igshid=1eaw45rj011ev

We be so obsessed with black celebrities that we give them a pass for everything they do. I don't give a fuck what nobody say Obama was bogus for that shit. Four of my cousins was murdered by the pig's and walked free.

Editor’s note: Tyisha Miller was a 19-year-old AfricanAmerican woman shot dead by Riverside, California police in 1998. Miller had been passed out in her car, resulting from a seizure, when police claimed that she suddenly awoke and had a gun; they fired 23 times at her, hitting her at least 12 times, and murdering her. Bob Avakian addressed this.

“If you can’t handle this situation differently than this, then get the fuck out of the way. Not only out of the way of this situation, but get off the earth. Get out of the way of the masses of people. Because, you know, we could have handled this situation any number of ways that would have resulted in a much better outcome. And frankly, if we had state power and we were faced with a similar situation, we would sooner have one of our own people’s police killed than go wantonly murder one of the masses. That’s what you’re supposed to do if you’re actually trying to be a servant of the people. You go there and you put your own life on the line, rather than just wantonly murder one of the people. Fuck all this “serve and protect” bullshit! If they were there to serve and protect, they would have found any way but the way they did it to handle this scene. They could have and would have found a solution that was much better than this. This is the way the proletariat, when it’s been in power has handled—and would again handle—this kind of thing, valuing the lives of the masses of people. As opposed to the bourgeoisie in power, where the role of their police is to terrorize the masses, including wantonly murdering them, murdering them without provocation, without necessity, because exactly the more arbitrary the terror is, the more broadly it affects the masses. And that’s one of the reasons why they like to engage in, and have as one of their main functions to engage in, wanton and arbitrary terror against the masses of people.” Bob Avakian BAsics 2:16
