Wake up the system is rigged! . . . . Repost from @e.smitty1 Until the United States provides reperations to every black man, woman & child we need to protest ( the Natives got it) Until the United States outlaws the wearing, bearing, ownership, use & brandishing of the Confederate Flag we should continue to protest. Until the United States labels & identifies the KKK as a radical terrorist group we need to protest! Until all war loser monuments of the “Civil American War” are removed we need to protest! (put em in a museum) Until our police departments nationionally are defunded we need to protest! We got our knees on their necks now I assure you this is not the time to let up. From what I'm seeing from all these non black owned companies and celebrities donating to BLM this is all the proof we needed to confirm that this country financially can afford to pay reparations to every black man, woman, and child. #BLM #icantbreath #MarloDaMartian #blacklivesmatter #Tulsaracemassacre #TheRosewoodmassacre #reparations #BlackConsciousness #BlackMan #BlackMen #AfricanMan #AfricanMen #BlackWoman #BlackWomen #AfricanWoman #AfricanWomen #Africa #BlackPower #problack #PanAfrican #PanAfricanism #afrocentric  #BlackNationalism #BlackAndProud  #Amerikkka #UnapologeticallyBlack #UnapologeticallyAfrican #BlackInAmerica #BlackIsBeautiful   #IntegrationFailed We can’t just be not racist, We need to be Anti-racist The revolution will be televised (at ATL-Atlanta,Ga) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqTbJpAbUR/?igshid=1hrn7zo0yv7p6

Solidarity with MPLS Rioters

A bit about myself, I have lived in Minneapolis for over three years.  The riots are taking place in my neighborhood, as did George Floyd’s murder.

------------------

Like many others I am on edge tonight watching the events across Minneapolis and St. Paul unfold. However, regardless of the tension I feel there is also an overwhelming sense of catharsis and pride. In many ways it's a relief to see people rising up and finally doing something. It fills me with hope. The government has proven time and time again that it doesn’t listen to people’s complaints on social media. The government entity does not hear when people wave signs, walk through streets and then go home in a day. This nation with its ever flashpan level attention span will consume itself, moving onto the next outrage in a blink of an eye, in a day, in an hour.

I can’t help but smile as I see people of color, youths of this nation, people of many backgrounds marching beside one another. They are celebrating in the streets, the streets that their tax dollars pay for. There is a playful, childlike joy in watching them dismantle buildings, remove pieces off of structures, build bonfires under traffic lights, dance, cheer and drink their spoils. There is something beautiful about watching fireworks erupt in the sky over a burning precinct that housed these murderers.

Property is replaceable, lives are not. And the only ones destroying lives are the police this group is attempting to hold accountable for blatant murder. Without due process, without fair incarceration, America is nothing less than tyrannical.

I marched on day one from the place of George Floyd’s murder to the Third Precinct. The only fear I felt was towards the officers. The feeling on the ground among these heroic voices is one of unity, sanctity and companionship. People are dowsing strangers' eyes with milk when the tear gas hits them. I’ve seen them carry those injured and convulsing away who were shot by canisters or rubber bullets. They are embracing, rapping, calling out warnings to one another.

We live in a nation that does not think we are entitled to our own lives, to our own health or the care of it. Black people are systematically oppressed and disproportionately targeted time and time again. Capitalistic entities tilt our elections and our so-called representatives in their favor. They are the greatest polluters of our world and in many ways the greatest oppressors. I do not mourn their brief financial inconvenience at the hand of those truly traumatized and in grief.

These are the American people. This is the composition of this nation. Not one percent of the population who have gorged themselves on enterprise and hoarded the wealth from their hands. Not the CEOs of them which are consistently white men.

This IS America. Outnumbered, out financed, out gunned but finally saying we will be treated as human beings or we will burn an infrastructure that has cultivated our demise to the ground. We will not go silently into that good night. We will no longer bow to bureaucracy. Until black lives matter, no lives matter. These are what modern day patriots look like.

Morpheus: WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. The President of the United States gave a live address from the Rose Garden. He took no questions from the press. He has officially declared all anarchists, anti-fascists, protestors, looters, and rioters as terrorists. He has used his Executive Authority- with no Congressional Approval which he does not need since there is the NDAA. Which allows the United States to be turned into a battlefield against terrorism. All citizens then can be striped of all rights and due process. This is the new War on terrorism and the enemy is you! Here is what our new dictator has ordered: • All citizens are subject to an enforced 7:00PM curfew. • Governors are expected to deploy the National Guard against their own citizens. • Should Governors fail to comply, **he is authorizing the full military might of the US Armed Forces to be used against his own people.** This means you are going to see Romanesque style brutality. This is not just military. There are Eric Prince mercenaries in those uniforms. • Anyone found in violation of his orders will be subjected to a lengthy sentence. Directing the military to act against our own citizens is against the law. It wasn’t a suggestion. It wasn’t a misunderstanding. It wasn’t speculation. The Tyrant of the United States has now declared War on his own people. YOU ARE AT WAR AMERICA WITH YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT. #THEBOX #Icantbreath #Blacklivesmatter #policestate #dictatorship #blm #protest #peacefulprotest #detroit #pandemic2020 #pandemic #protesters #k20 #theminute #vlogginglife #mentalhealthawareness #suicideprevention @davidsantomusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJC6t5A_uN/?igshid=1m0uc5tks7jr6
