When the Navy wants to train there medics, they send them to big city hospitals to get experience treating gunshot victims.

Doctors are on the front lines in the battle that’s raging in our streets, so it makes complete sense that the young men and women who are training to be the next generation of physicians are voicing their concerns about the numbers of young black men killed by guns - including those in the hands of police.

More than seventy medical schools across the country held protests yesterday, in remembrance of the deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, and too many other young black men by police. Students, and sometimes their professors and physician mentors, gathered to make a visual statement by staging a “die in”. (That’s Yale in the photo above.) The protesters lay in a death pose for fifteen and a half minutes, eleven minutes because eleven was the number of times Eric Garner told police who choked him to death he couldn’t breathe, and four and half minutes to correspond to the four and a half hours Michael Brown’s body lay in the street after Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot him.

The students posted their protest pictures on Twitter with the hashtag #whitecoats4blacklives. Here are a dozen of the many moving photos from that Twitter feed.

" [T]he stereotype that African Americans are excessively fond of watermelon emerged for a specific historical reason and served a specific political purpose. The trope came into full force when slaves won their emancipation during the Civil War. Free black people grew, ate, and sold watermelons, and in doing so made the fruit a symbol of their freedom. Southern whites, threatened by blacks’ newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people’s perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence. This racist trope then exploded in American popular culture, becoming so pervasive that its historical origin became obscure. Few Americans in 1900 would’ve guessed the stereotype was less than half a century old. "

What is lying down on the ground gonna do? Really though, besides get caught up in the viral media of it all, it seems pretty impotent to me.

As much as I hate to say it, you want to change something, the police are gonna have to lose some members too

Martin Luther King Jr. also said “the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice” but white people sure as shyt aren’t quotingthat on their Facebook statuses
