So they didnt even let Dr.Umar talk. Had him up there like a stage prop. I appreciate the young light skin dude for calling it for what it is. Too often these black intellectuals love to talk and debate and then retreat to their comfortable homes and dont understand and live the struggle but analyze it. The key is as black people is empowering, building, and sustaining wealth in our communities that can be passed down. While us youth are pointing out the obvious of white supremacy I saw many older folks trying to steer the narrative to all of us black and brown rhetoric. And its apparent now that the youth are not trying to hear the old civil rights mindset of integration and that education is the solution. Because even with your degree white supremacy provides you with a threshold and nikka trinkets so that you remain passive and oblivious to the overall health of your people.

They ignore the economic part because they know they should be, in their old age able to invest I'm us young folks. But they don't have it. So it's best to point out things they don't provide.

cops are dirty...they was in that video shooting pepper spray for no reason

You gotta be soulless and Godless to be killing folks for no reason. The Pope should have said something by now.

At this point, I don't feel like we are One Nation Under God.

Prince will play a surprise "Rally 4 Peace" concert at Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore on Sunday, following the unrest last week over the death of Freddie Gray.

Other music stars are expected to join Prince and his 3RDEYEGIRL band at the Mother's Day concert, which they hope will be a "catalyst for pause and reflection following the outpouring of violence that has gripped Baltimore and areas throughout the U.S.," the announcement said.

Tickets for the show, which was announced Tuesday night, go on sale at LiveNation.com Wednesday at 5 p.m.

"As a symbolic message of our shared humanity and love for one another, attendees are invited to wear something gray in tribute to all those recently lost in the violence," the announcement said.

According the press release, Prince will also take this opportunity to give back to the city hosting him. "A portion of the proceeds will be directed to the benefit of local Baltimore based youth charities," according to the announcement.

Prince is expected to debut his protest song, written last week, titled "Baltimore." The song has not been released, but the lyrics were posted online.

Baltimore city gotta get back out in the streets and force some pressure on the judge not to grant the change of location; FFS that's what happened in the Rodney King trial.


Doesn't matter the charges are not going to stick. The fact that they charged 3 black officers that were not part of the initial arrest by the white officers in which he was paralyzed should tell you something. The report implies that he some injured himself while he was in the van and therefore is an involuntary death. Those are easy charges to beat because other evidence will be blocked from being put in the case and it is being tried by the state and the state protects the police state. Anybody that believes that they will receive a conviction, especially the white officers loves Babylon as much as this guy and will be just as confused as him:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Baltimore Is Just the Beginning

In Freddie Gray’s neighborhood, more than half of those between 16 and 64 are unemployed. Life expectancy in the predominantly black neighborhoods of Upton/Druid Heights is 63 years, while in the predominantly white affluent Roland Park, about five miles away, it’s 83 years. And that’s just a small sample of the economic quicksand that many black residents of Baltimore live on. How long can you politely ask for someone to throw you a lifeline before the sand swallows you whole?

What’s even more frustrating for African Americans across America witnessing the events is the blatant attempt of some in the media to portray this as (1) the result of “thugs” who want to exploit Gray’s death to stock up on some free TVs and (2) an anomaly that doesn’t represent America. Both attitudes exhibit the kind of racial profiling that is at the heart of the problem in the first place.
