Honestly we need to do the same shyt everyone else is doing. Get our money up and buy a polotiican and get them to pass a national police brutality act that says there needs to be cameras, if they turn it off there's a mandatory felony, and there has to be a community based group who's responsible for over site and is able to determine if charges need to be filed. They gays raised money and got don't ask don't tell repealed and Hispanics raised money and got the dream act to DC, so there's nothing stopping us from doing the same.

There needs to be a law for bullets used on unarmed people or some shyt.

Every round fired on an unarmed man needs to have some steep ass price on it. Cops out here emptying their clips on brothers when they don't even have a weapon on them.

Exactly. You shoot an unarmed civilian, you get 5 years per bullet fired and 10 years for each bullet that hit him.

I wonder what it would take to get that type of shyt turned into a law

You're missing the point then. The advances we've gained in this country, in this society, were not solely the results of our own efforts. Admittedly I fall into the mentality from time to time that violence or money can be the only exclusive game changers when it comes to affecting positive change for us in society. However, that's short sighted when you take into account any positive change for Blacks or any group in this country for that matter in a historical sense. We both needed and benefited from the sympathies and actions of non-Blacks (yep, that means cacs) to make significant gains. That said, by default, there is going to be some concern with how we represent ourselves. Matter fact, to put it into perspective, plenty of people both on here and otherwise were upset with how the media represented the past week's actions. How so? Folks took exception to use of the words, "riot", and, "thugs." In other words, people were concerned about being misrepresented in a negative manner for a couple of reasons. One, it invalidates the legitimate range of emotions young Blacks are reeling from. Two, it invalidates their actions as not being civil, so why even bother understanding their grievances. Three, it's hypocritical to label them thugs and call it a riot when we see young whites get involved with similar to the same behavior and they're never labeled with negative terms.

That said, like it or not, our appearances as in both how the media represents us and how we represent ourselves will be a component that will shape to some degree the public discourse on subjects like police brutality and the Black community. In a perfect world, right is right, and wrong is wrong, but life is far more complex than that.

How someone chooses to see me is a choice on their behalf.

I don't get paid to convince someone to see me for something I'm not.

Take your head out the sand.

doubt it too many adults around there got the ray ray mindset... it'll take more than teenagers.

Nah this is different though because of the past not guilty verdicts that rocked us. I think everyone's just had enough at this point. This has to be "the one". The emotional psychology behind constant mis-justice will cause even the calmest to start spazzing.

The sister looks like she plays no games though so that's a plus.

I do agree that how we are perceived by the media does matter in some senses like you said how the word thug gets thrown around at black people vs white people. However I disagree with your sentiment in the above post that the riots were embarrassing. The riots weren't embarrassing because they brought out change by getting these charges on police officers. The news media and government officials weren't listening when the black people in baltimore were doing peaceful protesting. As Danielle Williams said on the ground of baltimore when they were doing peaceful protests,

“When we were out here protesting all last week for six days straight peacefully, there were no news cameras, there were no helicopters, there was no riot gear, and nobody heard us. So now that we’ve burned down buildings and set businesses on fire and looted buildings, now all of the sudden everybody wants to hear us.”

Their voices weren't being heard and nothing was being done. At that point, appearance does not matter and sometimes violent force is necessary to bring attention to the unheard voices. You can't just be worried about how you are perceived to the point of immobility. The riots forced america and the news media to pay attention even if it did bring the negative opinions that painted protestors with a broad brush. It was a necessary evil because it brought about change.
