There has been a lot happening in Boston.

This is a photo I took of a photo spread inSpare Change News a few days ago…. This is at the National Moment of Silence that was hosted in many cities across the world standing in solidarity with Ferguson. You can see Guillermo in two of these. He’s the cute one with the fedora.

There has been a lot of organizing in Boston. On Sunday, Lissa, Lewis and I went to Reverend Osagyefo Sekou's service at the First Baptist Church in JP. Sekou is from Ferguson, and went back there for two weeks to join the protests. You may have seen him on Democracy Now, or a number of different interviews. Rev. Sekou has been a huge supporter Flatline, and has been a personal support to a few of us times of great need. Truly, I cannot put into words what an incredible and selfless person he is.

On Sunday night, the First Baptist Church hosted an event called Beyond Ferguson: A Boston Call to Action, where representatives from Black Lives Matter,Youth Against Mass Incarceration, Spare Change, Burell Ramsey’s father, and many other poets, artists, and community organizers met to share stories and poetry, and to network and organize.

We decided that we would continue to meet at the First Baptist Church every first Sunday of the month at 6pm. If you would like to get involved, please check out the links in this posts, follow the FB pages and twitters of these youth movements, and join us next month. Please feel free to personally reach out to any of us in Flatline, too, if you have questions.

One of the things Rev. Sekou said on Sunday that resonated with me the most was, “We don’t need allies. We need freedom fighters.”

The question I have heard so many people asking after Ferguson is, “What now? How do we keep this alive?” The truth is, this movement can’t die. Youth all over this country and all over the world are stepping up and becoming leaders of grassroots movements that are already too powerful to be silenced.

This isn’t a riot. This is a revolution. And as the Reverend said so many times on Sunday, “We’ve already won.”

How do you decide that? Both was murder for nothing. They both could have been handle better. What he had butter knife we couldnt see in the video? What he attack the cops that was lable the victims in the report? The same cops that shot on sight with no hesitation when they came to the scene.it might mean less for you but for us black lives matter. I already read through your posts in this thread your shyt is mad suspect

You remind me one of those cac's on fb going around during the zimmerman trial using they passive aggressive approach saying trayvon martin case is "nothing like emmit till", "he was no angel", "he stole", "he deserve to die" ,"he cause his own death", "hes a thug" like yall really care about black lives

To some of you people murdering a black human being dont mean nothing to yall unless the person was squeaky clean. I wonder what would say if it was your child or better yet a cac. I could give you thousands accidents we're white ppl did worse and got off way better but it still wouldn't register in your mind.

As of right now nobody care about you're opinions on which black lives you thing that should get justice or whats " remotely the same"

Man shut up. He had his hand in his pocket and then charged the police. What is there to debate? They didn't shoot him on sight, and cops don't know what he could have had.



All it does is distract from this case which is a true crime. And Brown robbed, and threatened to punch a store clerk, so he isn't squeaky clean, yet i'm defending him. Explain that then.




And quote my posts in this thread. :stopitslime: You talking nonsense.

I feel for her... but she is doing more harm than good.
She is begging a room full of white people she has no power or influence with to act, all the while telling a mass of black people she represents who were ready to act NOT to act.

Thats why she has a job in the first place, to mediate and quell her people. No different than Jesse Jackson or anyone else in those roles.
They are there to stifle revolution. If it were not for that, there would not even be black 'elected' leaders.

Despite the depth and the emotion of the speech, She is still just talking. And the people that were done talking... she convinced to refrain from action so she can keep talking.
She is like your mom. Your mom will always tell you stay safe, don't fight... but sometimes you have to know when to ignore that shyt and fight anyway. Cause after they are done picking you off, your mom is next on their list.

If you really want to know how much this speech doesn't matter watch the whole video again and ignore her. Just focus on the white guy sitting behind her. His face by the end of the vid is proceless. This whole speech is nothing more than a timekiller until his lunchtime.

This does appeal to a more GLOBAL crowd though. I agree, nothing SPEAKS like MONEY does but if we have to intellectualize our cause with a 45 minute heart-pouring speech then so be it :ehh:.
I feel what u are saying 100% though....I just dont see it as "harmful." It could possibly INSPIRE some Blacks to follow-up with the money side of the strategy. :manny:

No the speech itself isn't harmful. The harm was already done when she helped to clear the streets.
Now it'll take another black life to get us back where we already were.
