Mike Brown Grand Jury decision thread. DECISION: NO CHARGES AGAINST DARREN WILSON!!

[Nefflum nigga]

I heard this before. Did this REALLY happen?

yeah, it's what kicked everything off. it was a peaceful vigil the night after the killing...cops pulled up with guns drawn and dogs out. backed everybody back, and let the dog sniff, then piss on the memorial for mike brown. after that happened everybody chased the cops off, and took to the streets

I agree. It's sad and surprising, cause straight up they lived through and saw white people at their absolute worst. I would expect the majority of older black folks to tell it like it is, but alot of them be on that "don't get mad at white people" subservient BS. I think alot of them just side with the man simply because of their own frustrations with the younger generations of black people...as if somehow if we stopped saying "yo" and stopped saggin our pants we'd somehow would escape police brutality and racial discrimination.

hate to say it but white supremacy has broke a lot of older black people

Self defeatist? I'm realistic, while you're dealing in fantasy, believing cacs will just come to their senses and leave us alone if we build wealth in our community with cac dollars. You want to play by their rules and hope for the best. Safe ass negros like you are a detriment to the struggle. You mean well, but your approach is a proven failure.

And your comment on Black wealth is laughable. Look at the stats for the last half century. The gap between black and white wealth is growing, not narrowing. Look at the unemployment rate in our community.

As much as I agree with @SuperCoolP_Cal I agree with you as well.

Yes, it's very true the gap between black and white wealth has been growing...whites have had a 400 year head start compared to us and played damn near every trick in the book to make sure we don't do better than them. That's cause they fear us. They fear our presence in America...they want us to remain the permanent underclass in America...they want us dead. We might as well try to keep our money in the community, but it's obvious this country was not meant for us at all...

When the emancipation proclaimation was signed...it was more of a business agreement than about our rights and freedoms and black americans. If Lincoln hadn't signed that, he would of shipped black people back to Africa. And look at what cacs did there...basically divided the continent up and created chaos and confusion to try to usurp the land from it's wealth (so we don't get to it).

Even if we did make our own businesses and allowed them to prosper, I've come to the conclusion that there is something inherently wrong with them...whether genetic, passed on from generation to generation, that just refuses to let us live at all. They enjoy being on top of us (pause)...this is the same force at work that allows them to think that peaceful protests for justice by black folks should be met with 1,000 police officers, UAVs, Apache Helicopters, National Guard troops, Homeland Security surveillance trucks, and other assorted goodies.

Black people haven't understood who they are dealing with. These motherfukkers crash the economies of third world nations to keep them subservient to the first world for cheap labor and military bases. These people run the military, the government, the justice system, the economy. These people develop weapons of mass destruction to use on people of color in those third world countries they use for slave labor (remember, the US hasn't fought a war against a white country since WWII) that we haven't even seen yet. These people are EVIL. Never underestimate evil. They will NEVER just let us live. Their fear and paranoia against us and allegiance to maintaining white supremacy completely supercedes any sense of logic, rational thinking, common sense, or reason.

I'm an advocate of nonviolence but once Wilson gets off, we're going to have to start protecting ourselves. The police are going to see that they can just kill and get away with it, so we have to let them know that they can't by ourselves without the law. I mean, how many times does the law have to fail us before we see this?

I don't deny any of what you just posted.

But what I'm saying is our best plan for attacking dominant society's white supremacist structure is through group economics--not kumbaya song and dance. Group economic practiced on a national level deprives dominant society of its own resources while empowering us with them.

If blacks as a whole withdrew from consumerism, dominant society would be left reeling.

It'll continue until we do something about it...simple as that, and has been that simple for the longest.

Nonviolence doesn't work with them.

This news was on the front page of Reddit and you can already guess what all of them were saying.

I was saying I'm an advocate for nonviolence but in this situation, we have to be violent.

Not trying to c00n, but I seriously don't think, or at least didnt think this was still a major issue in Ferguson. Good to see they're not letting this die.

This was the only murder in Ferguson for the whole year at that point.

Breh, we're not going to be able to do Group Economics here....We had less sell outs back during Wall street and they were able to hit us like that, now we have sellouts at every turn....

The economics in the black community is meticulusly maneuvered out of the group, and its not just by outsiders, its by some of own. Not going to be able to be done in a Capitalistic environment boosted by individualism and racism.

How can you practice group economics if the mentality isn't there though breh

It is easy to say black folk need to withdraw from consumerism, but what actions need to be done for us to be in a mental state so that it can actually be a viable option that is plausible?
