Does anybody know what they were teaching Ferguson protestors in those awareness classes to "train" them for what to do after the GJ announcement? I'm curious to know if for once we're being strategic instead of doing what they can't wait for us to do...

You don't have to answer if you got some inside info... :mjpls:

I for one hope it's not to even protest until Black Friday. That's the best time to do it. It's highly visible and would be crippling to the economic considering most stores make a majority of their money for the fiscal year during the weekend of Black Friday to Cyber Monday. :yeshrug:

That's my thing I dont expect nobody to agree with my opinon but I come from a place where I dont have a 10 year class reunion from high school because most of my homies felt like they had no options and they gone one way or the other. My opinion is skewed but comes from the heart of a dude who seen wild sh!t and I ride for my people in a positive way because I rode for my people in the opposite way in the past. I give back and I dont wanna see my people revolt like this we all know well I know how this ends but I see what the books have done for my life and I know if i can save 1 out of 100 of the youngins out the hood maybe we can start building our communities and POLICE ourselves.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with any people standing and fighting for what they believe in..

you never fail, trying..

maybe they don't wanna wait around, and send their kids to schools they can barely afford.. send them out for jobs, it's already been hard for me, my folks, theirs and so forth for folks to hand us outta pity.. maybe they feel, the time is now.. win, lose or draw- people of Ferguson are fed up..

they deserve a lot more respect.. not only from me.. but, you and a lot of folks.. not all this, "maaaaan.. this ain't gonna get us nowhere... :comeon:" that's how folks want you to feel..

but, you're entitled to your opinion.. I'm, mine.. all this bickering between us- is another thing folks wanna see.. even White folks who don't agree, will stand together.. :wow:

peace..

this is that shyt I'm talking about... if an intelligent Coli breh can fall victim to media manipulation imagine what other people are running around saying... :beli:
Yeah dawg, one thing Ferguson taught was how mass media can be used to sway opinions. All these news outlets are pretty much the same from MSNBC to FoX News. I'm glad I read an interesting book on mass communications, right after this shyt went down. I suggest ever breh still in school take a life changing class on mass communication or at least read a book on mass communications. The outright fukkery, is being documented right before our eyes...

Honestly breh its not many people in the position to risk their lives/freedom for a cause that has been going on since we were brought here. It was travon now mike brown it'll be another in a few months but we have already lost this war a long time ago. I hate to say it but the few intellingent folk we have and i may be one of them but i fit into a category of I can try to reach who i can but i cant save us all. It sucks but its the harsh reality rioting and burning and marching aint gonna do nothing its 2014 business is global entertainment has taken the place of humanity so all you can do is live YOUR life and hope the bs doesn't hit close to home. SMH just writing this breaks my heart G

well then you can sit this one out and have tea with the whites.

Man I wouldn't even say the government per se :patrice:

It's deeper than that, it's more about profits, more than anything I'd saying this as a pitching point for the NRA selling fear....

Fear of black people = keeps oppressed white people under control, and away from focusing on the elite and how they're really being screwed over....

It's like living in bizarro world. The fact I have members of my own family treating this as some sort of non-issue is even more troubling and confusing.

My aunt told me this... "He's no angel but while i believe he didn't deserve to die...I can't invest my energy in this right now! We, as black people, did the same with Trayvon and you see how that turned out and I just can't get my hopes up knowing that cop is going to get off."

I give my argument and evidence and she goes " That's America...what are we gonna do"

Shyt broke my heart.

I use to say the same thing about reaching 1 out of 100 but the real truth is this. If you are not teaching them to reach back and pull out the people they know on top of that 1 out of 100 then it's not a productive system. Reason being is that if you pull that 1 out and they turn their back then they become part of the problem also...just from a different vantage point. People in the hood will reproduce and those same ideals will be passed down to youth that have to deal with the same poor dead end conditions.

Coward please aint gonna spin this thread I'm from 104 inglewood ave AKA "the bottoms" but I been to Ferguson for Mike brown I came to oakland for Oscar Grant what have you done I coach and tutor kids in math and science i work with kam chancellor to buy uniforms and hold summer camps for at risk youth in Norfolk VA. People want a revolution when the answer is education your not gonna beat the government/military all you can do is raise up a new generation the right way so we OWN until then we will take the scraps off the kiddie table so you can GTFOH.

Education is an answer but it's complete education that is. If you are educating black people under a system that isn't going to allow them but so much upward mobility while misleading them on the history of this country toward their people then it's a fail. We can turn it around and educate our people but what happens is most black educated people get to a place of comfort and acceptance and they turn their backs on their people. So while you and I are the type of people to reach back and help out...look at the people you know that made it out and ask yourself if they truly give a damn about the betterment of our people. Chances are they are part of the "we are the world" crowd.

the police department from the jump purposely spread disinformation and the mass media ran with it of course to help paint the picture that they want people to see.
