I swear to god these stupid ass nikkas on Facebook make me sick...


"Black on black crime" and Police Brutality are totally fukkin different.

I don't know how much more of this I can take

I feel the same way, I want to share this reddit post that sums up some of my feelings

It's so sad to me that I've not seen it successfully articulated how big this issue is.

It's not about the case.

It doesn't matter if Michael Brown was an honest-to-god demon.

I think when people hear racism brought in, they assume it means that Wilson hated black people, so he shot him one. I don't think that. And I think a lot of people who are leading protests don't think that. Frankly, my personal opinion, I think Wilson should have been indicted and then acquitted.

But Wilson testified he was in "hostile territory" when he made the stop. Think on that for a second. The people who are sworn to protect that community, to protect the people that live there, think of it as enemy turf. Why?

And it's not as simple as "They've got black skin". It goes back further than that.

Studies show blacks and whites commit drug offenses at the same rate, but black men are more likely by far to go to jail for it. How many of your friends would have to get picked up by the cops for non-violent offenses before you started seeing police as the enemy?

How come in a majority black community, you recruit a majority white police force?

How does that impact the ability to build a relationship between communities and law enforcement?

WHY CAN'T WE ASK THESE QUESTIONS?! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ABOUT "LOL OK BURN DOWN YOUR OWN BUSINESSES IN RAGE, IDIOTS"? WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ABOUT "DIDN'T YOU READ THE EVIDENCE"?

It doesn't matter. This community has been hurting for a long time. And then they watch a cop gun down a kid in the street. And it sends them over the edge.

Obviously, what's at top of mind is that they want justice in the case, and they've got a specific idea of what that looks like. But that's not why they're in the streets. That's from decades of pain and mismanagement and distrust.

Think about this: Why don't the black people in Ferguson believe that the grand jury came to the right conclusion?

Do you legitimately think they're just too stupid to get it? Or do you think it maybe comes from a system that has operated on lies and broken their ability to trust it?

Or what about this:

How come when the DA presents the case, he goes on and on about how many witnesses lied or couldn't recall the truth or had versions that didn't line up with the facts, but every time he mentions the single witness that describes Brown as "in a full-on charge" he stops to emphasize it?

The DA had lots to say about the fact that some witnesses changed their stories. He did not have a lot to say about the fact that Wilson initially said he was struck around a dozen times, then changed his story to say he was only hit twice.

The DA didn't have anything to say about why Wilson initially told police in his interview that he had no idea that they were suspected of shoplifiting, but then later changed that story.

Again, I don't think Wilson should have been convicted.

But there was just so much eye-rolling and condescension about the witnesses supporting Brown. And there was none for the accounts that supported Wilson. And that's, in part, why as a community it's easy to feel disregarded.

There was in article written in 1997 about how Ferguson was a mismanaged, racial powder keg, waiting to explode. Nothing changes in the next 17 years, and it finally blows. But somehow all we care about are "the facts of the case" and the groups of people that are looting.

Black voices are crying out in pain right now.

And if you choose to point to the black people you don't like to ignore the rest of them, then that is racist.

This was my one and only facebook post addressing the situation, because I'm tired of seeing other white people on my facebook comment on shyt they don't even know about

"If you don't know about the effects of institutionalized racism, or the specific police-community relationship in ferguson, you probably shouldn't even comment on the situation. It isn't just about this Mike Brown case, it's bigger than that. Ferguson police well before Mike Brown beat an innocent black man they though had warrants (he didn't have any warrants) and then charged him with destruction of property for bleeding on police uniforms. These tensions have been building for a long while and police need to be held more accountable for things they do to people."

Yup. I'm white as a fukking ghost but some of the shyt I'm reading on facebook and hearing from white friends infuriates me. They're not educated at all about what is going on yet they feel their opinion is 100% right. I'm sorry but if you haven't extensively researched the situation or actually live in ferguson, please don't fukking post your opinion on facebook
