it is working too...most people dont seem to know what racism/white supremacy is but even in their limited understanding they still do nothing...most people would say racism is a bad thing and would say that white people calling black people the "n word" is example of racism but when a white person is caught using the "n word" people try to excuse it..bbbut black people say it(when a white girl says it)..bbbut they were young and didnt know what they were saying(justin bieber)...people will just sit back..watch and do nothing while witnessing racism/white supremacy/colorism ...

Oct. 9

• There was another officer-involved shooting last night. An off-duty officer approached a small group of young men in the Shaw neighborhood and attempted a “pedestrian check”. Police say 18 year old high school student, Vonderrit Myers, shot at the officer 3 times but then his gun jammed. The officer then shot Vonderrit Myers 16 or 17 times and killed him. Witnesses and family members say Vonderrit Myers was unarmed and all he had in his hand was a sandwich. Police also claim Vonderrit Myers “was no stranger to law enforcement”. (Storify) (x) (x) (x)

I'll just say this.

I love the people of this country...but America as a country as a concept as a government as a philosophy can go to hell.

I never though in my 30 years on this planet we would see this happen. But this place was not meant to last.

Let that flag burn.
