Maryland has declared a State-of-Emergency in Baltimore. 1,500 National Guard Troops deployed (PICS)

[Mr Rager]

You all just love living vicariously through the front lines. You all are quick to say oh, "peace won't stop those pigs," "prayer won't stop those pigs," "that MLK c00nbahya shyt won't stop those pigs." So what has rioting in our own community done? If the only consequences from police murder of African Americans are police overtime and the destruction of a musty Arab's store in a black community you think that's REALLY going to be incentive to stop the slaughter?

fukk it, riot all you want, but unless you're taking it to the enemy you're just wasting valuable energy looting cheap liquor. This is supposed to be a political statement. Take the liquor and go downtown if you really want to disrupt the system. I just don't see the point, besides pretty pictures, of allowing cac cops to rack up overtime watching the destruction of predominantly black areas.

I know most of you all don't like hearing that but if you care about the "community" you don't want to see one fukked up while the enemy gets to sit back, watch and make critiques. And unless those burned non black run stores will be replaced by black businesses they'll be back and siphoning more money from the community.

I thought the LA Riots would be the turning point 20 years ago. But I think this could be the catalyst we need for Change. A string of high profile cases ending with the Police getting a slap on the wrist. Then Video of Eric getting choked, John on walmart, Tamir getting shot in the park and Walter getting shot in the back. Black America has reached a boiling point with police of epic proportions. White people will never understand cause it never has affected them. It's scary to think the war with Blacks and Police was going on long before I was even born.

As for Blacks agianst the Riots, look I'm a non-violence person myself. But Violence begets Violence. When we were Slaves we didn't go up to "Massa" as ask him nicely to take the chains offs. People are loving quoting MLK but he was beaten, jailed and KILLED for th same peaceful protest people said we should be doing. Honestly what's happening in B-more probably should of happen after every high profile case but we took the "Protest" route. What did that get us? Zimmerman is a Freeman. Wilson is a freeman, Countless officers getting ZERO punishment for actual DEATH by their hands. This poor guy got his neck SNAPPED while in custody. The world saw a Police Officer shot a Black man in the back like it was target practice.

Now think of all the black lives throughout American History that didn't get justice cause of the racist corrupt Police system. Mr. Grey GOT HIS SPINE SEPARATED AND NOBODY HAS BEEN CHARGED? ARE YOU KIDDING. Dude guns down Black man in Tulsa and Judge approves vacation to the Bahamas? Black America how much more disrespect are we going to take? Matter of fact, MLK and Malcolm are rolling in there graves cause Black America LOST IT'S FIGHT. Well last night B-more stood up for Blacks all around this country and said F*CK THIS BULLSH!T, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Very true and I don't think black people have been paying any attention to this. Let that fukker take a trip to the bahamas for a month. Cop after cop getting off, even after killing a child. Because damn we really are losing the fight.

I mean shyt what's it gonna take? Them gunning down a crowd of people or maybe blowing some little kid brains out on camera?

Brehs losing focus here. Malcolm X words still pertinent.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

I don't care about property damage. Just take that shyt to the white people so it will matter. fukk up their CVS and Whole Foods. Block their streets. fukk up their jobs. That's the only way you'll have long term effects.

no more looting

Black folk are fed the fukk up.

I swear, they doing this to make us snap and then finally label us as domestic terrorists.

At this point, I don't care if people loot or rob or hurt cops...this country has done worse to us since it's inceptions. I could care less about your stores and cars and property when you can put insurance on that, you can't get those black lives that these cops took back.

We need a black (diaspora) Israel in Africa. That's our birthright. Like fukk this shyt. When the race war that's nearing in this country arrives were gonna get the worst of it if we don't strategize as a group. Because black people are almost at their threshold and armed forces are instigating it.

This country will NEVER be for us. Period.

Just when you think it is...shyt like this happens...endless cops killing endless black men and women...the message is very clear.

Meanwhile a bunch of white, asian, indian, and hispanic people are just lollygagging and enjoying life while we fighting for ours....

They were going to be hurting regardless. Thats sick to let people live like shyt and then say don't destroy your own community. 55 years later and the area still looks like shyt but nikkas hype over a new a Target. But a casino can go up in 1/3 that time.

You will have no argument from me in this area as I see those houses all the time, but I also see people who are complacent living next to them.

And really the casino money should of gone back into the community instead of officials pockets. I made a post on here a few weeks back that once I moved to Rockville there's rec centers all over the place for the kids out here, but hardly in Bmore.

That's what I'm saying, they want to be on the news pretending like they give a fukk about the community being destroyed when they have neglected it for so long. How many blocks of abandoned buildings do you need before you start saying "damn maybe we need to rehab this". All of this is a result of their neglect. I'm not saying i agree with rioting and looting, but I'm not going to pretend like nikkas were well off before the shyt went down.

I dont have any stats but would assume most crime commited is local to the residence of the person to commit it . People dont usually go outta there way to riot or any other crime. They deal with what's around them, with what a person can see. I may be wrong but i dont see this as a thought out elaborate plan for justice. As @Rapmastermind stated this imo is likened to a tantrum. The pent up frustration is being unleashed. The po lice are waiting for them to leave the containment zone where the punishment will most likely be harsh. I feel a long term effect can still be had if those in position to do so guide and channel the answer vs separating and condemning.

 

[pon]

Not necessarily

My line of thinking is that these riots chase non blacks that own businesses out of the community and we capitalize on the vacuum that's created and open shop in the places they left.

Most non black small businesses don't employ black people in the area anyway outside of paying hypes a few dollars for medial tasks. So it really wouldn't be hurting anyone in the community since Arabs, cacs, Asians, etc... act as parasites on the community and don't put anything back into the community so hopefully they'll leave voluntarily

I feel you on that but it should not take this to chase them out. How about we stop spending our dollars at these establiahments.. I guess my point is that this is more of a mentality that needs to be restructured, we really need to take on and build from a Marcus Garvey perspective

8. 1968 Holy Week Uprising, Baltimore: $92 million

As Chicagoans raged on Friday, it was strangely quiet in Baltimore. The streets seemed unusually peaceful well into day three, with a solemn crowd gathering around noon for a two-hour memorial service for the cherished MLK. By the next morning however, the White House received message of some 300 fires, 400 arrests and five deaths in the city. The full-fledged riots began late Saturday afternoon, with first reports of looting at a dry cleaners; local police stood their ground. By evening, the entire city was placed under curfew, and the National Guard and U.S. army muscled in the next day. Burning, looting and destruction persisted over the course of the following week, culminating in six deaths by fire, automobile and gunshot, over 5,700 arrests, and estimated insured damages of $92 million.

Yeah that part I laugh when she started saying that. That crap was for out of towners who don't know.

 

[Ego Noir]

None of these movements; radical, political, or prayer, are working together effectively nor willing to step out of their comfort zones. It needs to be a coordinated push from all sides. I'll expand when I get to work.

When you expand on this @ me breh im interested in what you got to say

 

[EarlyMaridia]

So no one black is using or working in that CVS?

I know right. The whole reason for it even being built was that people were getting charged out the ass for the pharma products and there was no competition. Business is business, but they were the only ones that came through.

Out-of-towners really don't know wtf it is. lol
