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

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

That's what I don't get. Got reporters talking about "Baltimore has never looked this bad" You have parts of the West side that have been in great need for improvement and now people want to talk about uplifting the community now that everything has popped off.

Ain't that the truth. I've been to Baltimore many times...the quality of life would definitely go up with some upgrades to some of the neighborhoods there.

Ofcourse...it seems the only time things get fixed in low income predominantly black/spanish neighborhoods is when white people with money move in.

Blacks are spoiled idiots. Ya'll too concerned with your everyday way of life to sacrifice and die for what you believe in. There should be no normalcy. But they HAVE control of your mind. It's Stockholm Syndrome. MLK is used as a propaganda tool to keep nikkas obedient and docile. They keep us divided and ya'll c00ns do their dirty work.

You got little kids in the Middle East strapping bombs to their chest for Liberation. fukk community, fukk CVS, fukk movie theaters... this is GLOBAL ISSUE. We are political prisoners and oppressed and vilified everywhere on this Earth. Kidnapped, Mutilated, Brainwashed, and Oppressed beyond repair. Stop being spoiled.

nikkas wanna wear suits and hold Bibles. nikkas wanna talk about "Black Business" have you ever heard of Black Wallstreet? They literally killed any sibilance of black independent financial freedom. J. Edgar Hoover feared above all else the creation of a Black Messiah. None of this shyt is a mistake. nikkas are playing target practice with our people and ya'll nikkas want to do all this fantasy booking instead of dealing with REALITYYYYYYYYYYY. This country hates us, wake the fukk up.

Ya'll wont understand this tho.

“There is nothing ‘black’ about rioting”: Actor Jesse Williams unloads on Baltimore critics in passionate Twitter essay
The "Grey's Anatomy" actor wrote about the prevelance of rioting throughout history
JOANNA ROTHKOPF



On Monday evening, as Baltimore was rocked by violent and non-violent protests alike, actor Jesse Williams, known for his role on “Grey’s Anatomy” and for occasionallyweighing in on issues of race and police brutality, wrote what amounted to an essay on the history of rioting.

While I don't really care that much about what some random cac thinks of me I must admit that having a good image matters. We must remember that we are at the mercy of the white majority and they can easily use riots like this to justify black discrimination or worse.

Blacks had a good respectable, church going image in the early part of the 20th century in America and were still lynched in their sunday best and beaten and killed by whites. I fail to see the point of this.

When they rebuild from the ashes, it's gonna facilitate gentrification and drive poor people out. That's what they wanted them to do. That's why cops ain't stopping them, but making sure they keep it confined in their own areas
Follow the money and see who benefits from this.
These people played right into their hands

Chess, not checkers.

Gentrification been happening in Baltimore...but you're right...this is only going to accelerate the process.

t's exactly the same as what happened in London a few years ago.

What started out as a protest against an act of police brutality led to people just smashing things up, attacking innocent people and destroying private businesses just for the hell of it. And all this fukkery ended up spawning copycat riots up and down the country. Why did the people who decided to start rioting in Manchester not protest about the killing of Mark Duggan? They just wanted to kick off, and get a free television or a pair of Adidas in the process, that's why.

It was supposed to be a protest on behalf of the people, so why are the rioters then turning on and attacking the same people they're supposedly frustrated on behalf of?

There's an element of society - both in Britain and America - that lives for violence. It's why you get people who go to football matches just to fight fans of the other team, or people who go out, and drink about three beers before trying to start fights with other people. Circumstances like this and London in 2011 served as a perfect excuse for these people to be in their element.

I am completely behind the people angry at the murder of Freddie Gray. I am completely behind the people who want his murderers brought to justice. This is a man who was beaten to death brutally and it disgusts me to hear about this kind of thing happening in third world dictatorships, let alone a nation that prides itself on freedom and democracy. What I am not behind are the scumbags who are just using this as an excuse to cause trouble for people who their supposed anger isn't even directed at.

Let's just hope it doesn't spread all over America like it did in England.

Of course. If it doesn't kick off in Baltimore.. then I think they might try something in Chicago again. Probably over the summer during Jade Helm.
