Black Americans are only 13% of the population but are 20% of the people killed by police with impunity. The root of this problem is the origins of police as slave patrollers and their never-ending ties to white supremacy. #blacklivesmatter✊🏾 #thugsinblue #klaninblue (at Russellville, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4GZTlXn73G/?igshid=ht898oq0w22j

May true justice finally happen for the Garner family. Mr Garner was killed racist policing and denied justice by white supremacy. We can only hope that officer pantaleo will be fired during his current investigation and suspension. Police should be allowed to murder black people in cold blood with impunity. #blacklivesmatter✊🏾 #ericgarner #policebrutality #thugsinblue #killercops #billdeblasio #ericagarner #nypd (at Russellville, Arkansas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0sglbFHjib/?igshid=1091r6fhgcvao

Fuck The Police

Growing up as a child, I was always taught to respect law enforcement, teachers, and other authority figures in my community.  Like most children growing up, that is what i did, until I became old enough to have my own negative experiences with some of them.  Growing up in small rural towns in Arkansas, I learned that the world around me didn’t respect me the way we were taught.  In church and…

Oppression is real, and oppression still hurts but the blame never goes all the way around.

Meanwhile, how many of us have to die, before they decide…

A Better Understanding Of #Blacklivesmatter

Lately i have received a lot of questions about #blacklivesmatter. So, i guess i should try to give a short briefing on the meaning and what it’s about. A lot of people see the hashtag, signs, and pics on social media, and automatically assume that it means only black people matter, or that only the black victims of police brutality matter, and that just isn’t true.
