I knew things were serious, but seeing that picture of the young girl after that police grenade... :to:
Haven't these people lost enough?
Most of y'all might not believe in stuff like this, but honestly, I can see Revelations going down within our lifetime. The injustice on display here is beyond horrific.

As a Black man, I don't think we should support Bead Cacs when they've never supported us.
:why:
Indians helped runaway slaves get away from White slave drivers. Not like they havnt had their own situations to worry about either, like spending hundreds of years trying not to get exterminated. And in the modern era, White men pulling up on their reserves & raping their women.

The main issue here isn't the pipeline. It's the location of it and the fact that the oil company is basically breaking the law and ignoring the government and the government sitting on its hands.

If the government cared about enforcing orders and laws related to land use, everyone involved in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation would have a federal prison sentence right now. Last I checked, the principal members of the Bundy clan involved with that standoff were acquitted.

Shows you what the government really cares about. Besides, the government has always tended to come down hard on radical environmental activism.

They also owned their own slaves, and blacks have been redwashed from the trail of tears.

They got their reparations. Blacks have their own problems

Dr. Sebi was taking the piss. He was insulting the posters who refuse to ally with other POC, those who say there is no Black-Brown Coalition, or Black-Red or Black-Yellow.

A lot of those posters are agents tho, it's a very small amount who want intra-POC fighting.

Imagine if this was happening in China. You wouldn't have heard the end of it on mainstream media.:stopitslime:
Self awareness and accountability have never been strong traits of this nation. New Orleans after Katrina and flint now are examples. Hurricane sandy is classified as a superstorm so people up here couldn't cash in on hurricane insurance after their houses were destroyed and 90% of Long Island lost power.

This is nice, but they need to come armed. Peaceful protests do not work in this country in 2016.

:dahell:


What kind of ignorance is that dumb claim based on?


Half-hearted, poorly planned protests, armed or unarmed, don't work in ANY era.


But there is a long history of committed, organized nonviolent protests working much better than violent protests for people out of power, both within this country and outside of it. Even in the last five years, nonviolent protests have brought down entire governments, but you think they can't stop a pipeline? :childplease:


The most important thing in the success any protest is not whether it uses violence or not, but how many people it can get committed to the cause and how committed those people are. Using violence is a prime way to thin your ranks of committed members and embolden the opposition.

I'm guessing those posters had a bad experience with other POC.
