they so mad
got that 600 year head start
and they still keep losing
they fear us
cause they know what we're capable of
we can defy the odds and do whatever it is
we set our mind to(when we actually do)
and they know that
thats why they hate on us
try to hold us back
and even with all theyre hate
they cant stop us
imagine if it was a level playing field
it wouldn't be fair
we are a strong people
i love being black yall
best thing in the world

Horrific cuts cover her son's body after he's shot dead by Chicago police, and Cynthia Lane wants answers. A yearlong investigation by CNN's Rosa Flores shows the truth is not always black and white.

Anyone familiar with the story told in the Exodus will scream at how much was removed from it. They went as far as removing all mentions of the ten plagues and the part where the armies of Pharaoh drowned in the Red Sea because he didn't want to let go of his Hebrew slaves.

Nah, you gotta watch it man. No cliffs

definitely worth watching if you appreciate the details, as no summary really could do justice to all the different angles to it...ultimately though it plays out how you might expect, wherein the cycle of how police operate in communities that don't have much faith in law enforcement, distrust the police, for reasons that may (or sometimes not) be justified historically, which in turn influences how police operate and on & on; regardless to which side came to distrust the other 1st, watching the whole thing illustrates fairly well some the problems that arise on the many different sides of circumstances like these...

Spoiler

yes he has a point. im laughing because people like Boyce and Claude Anderson have the message but are too focused on shaming people into doing what they want them to do.

with them its always,
instead of buying that purse
instead of buying those Jordans
instead of getting your nails done
etc.

their target audience aint trying to hear that ****.

it would be far more effective channeling the energy instead of going against it.

Kids being able to see positive African imagery gives kids pride in their roots

 

[nawghtyhare]

Am I wrong for thinking this???
So I have zero problems with people who immigrate here for a better life
But some of those same folks
Have negative feelings towards us African Americans
Never engage or protest when we are being targeted
And treat us just as bad as white folks
And have the negative feelings towards us
So when this deportation stuff comes up
Or they get deported even though
They have been model citizens
And contribute to this society here
Is it wrong for me not to want to get up
And protest
Actually I do feel it’s wrong for me not to
But man I’m just like they
And not all of them
But they don’t fight for us
But I guess that sayin about an injustice here is an injustice everywhere or how ever it goes
What are y’all thoughts

I get it, I'm 100% with you but we gotta show them more black heroes (not fictional comic book heroes).
