We dance this dance again,
so move over Eric Garner.
A new video is in town;
another Black man is a goner.
March again and protest.
Where is justice? Where is peace?
There is no hint of either.
Sit down! This shit won’t cease!
Paste another face on a shirt.
Go out and scream your pain.
Blow dust off an old poster.
Let your tears blend with the rain.
Yes, here we go again.
The same writing is on the wall.
Nothing much has changed.
Black lives matter to none at all.
You really can’t see the truth?
Seriously, must you be so dense,
to think that you can change
what has never made any sense?
Our bodies don’t mean shit
to the ones you protest to.
We’ve never, ever mattered
and you know that this is true.
But still, you beg them to care.
You plead to be left alone.
They’ll walk with you for a day
And then, you are on your own.
You see, we are here on sufferance,
and have overstayed no welcome,
that was never extended to us.
We’re just an object for their venom.
Now, protest all day long.
Take it to the streets.
Stand shoulder to shoulder,
with those who wear the sheets.
Give it another month or two,
and you’ll be doing this yet again;
the very definition of crazy,
expecting justice from white men.

White SC officer charged with murder in black man’s death
Dramatic video that shows a white South Carolina police officer shooting a fleeing black man after a traffic stop has led authorities to file a murder charge against the officer amid public outrage over a series of deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of law enforcement agents.
The video shows Scott falling after the shots and then the officer slowly walking toward the man and ordering him to put his hands behind his back. When Scott doesn’t move, Slager pulls his arms back and cuffs his hands. Then he walks briskly back to where he fired the shots, picks up an object, and returns the 30 feet or so back to Scott before dropping the object by Scott’s feet, the video shows.
Walter Scott may have tried to run from the officer because he owed child support, which can lead to jail time in South Carolina until it is paid, Stewart said. Scott had four children, was engaged

i recently watched an interview about cops, a retired white officer candidly states that he doesn’t recognize the behavior of “cops” these days. When he was in the force, for 25 years, he never once fired his weapon. That’s because he was trained to diffuse the situation using his mind first. The procedure was to talk down the suspect, communicate/ listen, and only use force if necessary. Deadly force should be used as a last resort for self preservation. Nowadays, cops are trained ass-backward, they shoot first ask questions later. This amounts to egregious abuse of power, and state sponsored execution of black & minorities. The “cops” are TRAINED to kill without reason, without morality, or remorse. This has been the new norm, totally condoned by TPTB because local gov’t along with the media, court system etc. cover up all the murders, corruption & misconduct that cops commit on innocent civilians. Like the video shows… it’s just cold blooded MURDER, execution style by an agent of the state. White folks have a hard time believing it, only b/c it hasn’t happened to them yet, and they still have fond memories of the good ole days.
We have vicious killers on the loose, which amounts to state sponsored terrorism! Remember US gov’t created Al Qaeda, ISIS, AND NOW Nazi SS executioners pretending to be peacekeepers of the law. What a farce, gov’ts always need enemies to justify their ever growing lust of power.
I do not condone violence of any kind, but when our “justice” system has been corrupted, it no longer deserves our trust and compliance. As law abiding citizens and patriots of humankind, we do not hold any allegiance to gov’t nor state. History has shown that ALL gov’ts, given enough time and power will devolve into tyranny.
“The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.”
“Our cause is just… employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.”
“The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government”
“When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state, and calls for an exercise of the power of dissolution.”
“I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.”
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. … What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”
— Thomas Jefferson
God help us all. 😦

Well Tubularsock will have to disagree that you are an “idiot”, 1Earth. And whatever you do do not go back to school to learn anything! That is where the bull shit is propagated!
Tom is a mixed bag and what he had to say is true. He was a man of his time and the narrow vision is just where they were. It is just that that vision has to be broadened and what is disappointing to Tubularsock is it is 2015 and we are still dealing with this shit!
This crap has been going on so long but because of social media it is being brought out into the light of day. Hopefully this will start a process of change but it is at epidemic proportions and to stem that tide will take some major structural changes that Tubularsock doesn’t see happening anytime soon when the direction is police militarization.
Our society has to be awakened on so many levels …

I could NOT have made myself more crystal clear with regards to NOT wanting to see bullshit shit sitting all up in my face! I am fed up past my eyeballs with this goddamn shit and here you post this tripe from a slave owning, slave raping piece of dirty ass racist filth???!!! What is wrong with you???!!!!
This bastard was a goddamn president penning shit about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness AND resolving to die as freemen rather than to live as slaves” all while brandishing a whip over HIS slaves!
Don’t you fucking come back in here with that stupid goddamn shit! You rub salt in the goddamn wound when you quote from that fucked up dickhead and you expect me to politely thank you for it?

Holy shit so sorry, I’m such an idiot! Totally blanked out about the fact that Jefferson was a slave owner duh, thanks for setting me straight on that, i didn’t mean any offense.
True enough Shelby, sadly this is not a just world, in order to change the course of history we all must take responsibility and participate in that process of changing the system. We do what we must to contain the monster which we allowed to let loose b/c we as Americans dropped the ball and didn’t give a shit, so now we live the consequences of our collective apathy. Jefferson had the right idea about reigning in big gov’t, def. wrong about owning slaves. Bad example, apologies for my ignorance! Possible solutions? Protest, boycott, spread awareness, and passive resistance to gov’t tyranny. If you have further suggestions, plz share. *Peace*

HLJ, they can hash tag, “beat me, fuck me up, shoot me, choke me, burn me, drag me behind a goddamn truck, hang me from a tree, knife me, tickle me to death,” ’cause it don’t matter what they say, I am tired of it all. I have to wait something out and then I am leaving this godforsaken shithole. We can’t even go up into the mountains ’cause they’re up there too, Billy Bob and crew just waiting to string us up. I do realize that there is nowhere in the world that the Black face is welcome; not even in Africa because we ALL know what is going down over there, thanks in part to the nasty ass racist filth that crawled over there and is raping and pillaging Africa as I type this and is also fostering hate among the different countries, villages and tribes. Because if they can keep the Africans at each others throat, then all the better for them to continue with the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy that works SO well over here!
But be that as it may, I am NOT going to continue to reside in this worthless ass piece of shit, shithole! I am not going to continue to post poem after poem about another Eric Garner, about another Tamir Rice, about another Michael Brown, about another John Crawford, about another Walter Scott while Black people just continue to gather in a circle with their hands held up in supplication to the very ones that are fucking us up! That is just fucking crazy! And these fucked up white motherfuckers continue to bring their goddamn bullshit all up in here when I have stated in no uncertain terms that I was having not a bit of it!
As you can see, just from this blog, it is meaningless, what we say because as long as we are Black and in this shithole, we don’t mean shit to any goddamn body, and that should be quite obvious. After I stated for that shit NOT to come back in here, back it came! My heart is tired of being torn to pieces from watching us die for no reason other than over the color of our skin, something we have NO goddamn control over and yet, I have to read some shit about Thomas Jefferson???!!!! And another agrees with Thomas Jefferson’s hypocritical words???!!! Seriously??!!!
I would rather blog to myself than put up with this shit that’s crawled up in here, posting shit! From now on, any fucking white ass is being turned loose. I am NOT going to continue to ‘follow’ those filthy ass racist, nasty fucking white assed motherfuckers!
Nothing is ever going to change! We can march until we drop dead from exhaustion and still the shit continues! The fucking whites sit up screaming and yelling about how we need to look out for one another when it has always been a them versus us scenario and it always will be. This shit is not going to drive me crazy and before it does, I’ll stop. Black people are stupid and I mean, seriously stupid because we could have had our own communities by now, our own banks, supermarkets, gated communities. It’s been done before, but look what we do with our money, buy stupid shit and then go to the white fuckers and the Koreans and the Chinese for every goddamn thing. So, what is the point in even trying to get through to people that are just too far gone? There is none!
I thank you for your comment HLJ! And yes, I took a look at the video and all I could do was shake my head over it all. Dude wanted to talk about who in the Black community was scared of gangs when there are gang members of ALL stripes, not just Black gang members. He was just another Uncle Tom coon head playing up to massa. That’s all we do, play up to massa and beg that shit to let up off of us! I’m not begging that filth for shit!

I’ve been reading a really interesting book on the history of genocidal wars against Native Americans, which started in the 17th century and continued into the early 20th century – reducing their population from 40 million to 3 million over 300 years. I’m really impressed by the similarities with the current government war against African Americans. The only real difference is that US cops don’t collect the scalps of African Americans they kill – that I’m aware of, at least.

And there you have it, your comment is as right as rain Dr. Bramhall, as it always is! I want to take this opportunity to thank you kindly for not coming up in here posting some bullshit and for not quoting flaming hypocritical slave owners that went on and on about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” and “live as free men, rather than as slaves” while brandishing a whip over HIS slaves. I thank you most kindly for respecting the fact that I am so tired of shit such as that.
As you know, if I write something about the Indians, I usually refer to them as “the 45 or so that’s left” because really, when you look at their numbers now compared to what they were, that’s about the gist of it and more’s the goddamn pity especially since this land was theirs to begin with and they’ve been all but wiped out and now it’s our turn. And whites act like they can’t fucking see that. They still want to quote some filth that was complicit in this shit that is still going down to this very day AND said filth is also responsible for fucking up the Indians goddamn day! But we’re all supposed to join hands and sing in harmony and quote what slave owners penned and see the wisdom in their words and apply them to what’s going down today. And what’s more, they don’t even see how ridiculous it is to quote from some shit that was vile, monstrous, insane and fucking hypocritical beyond the point of no return, because “he had some good shit to say!” That’s the whites for ya! Whatever the fuck another white motherfucker says is good than a motherfucker! I can’t even ask the white motherfuckers to respect the fact that I don’t want to read bullshit about this shit up in here and I get fucking disregarded because who the fuck listens to what a Black person has to say, even on their own goddamn blog???!!!! You see, this is the SHIT that we are up against! ‘Cause whites feel they got it like that!
And then other white motherfuckers come in and pat the other fucker on the head and basically say, “there, there now, you did good, you’re fine!” No! It’s NOT fucking fine and from now on, any and all comments will be held in moderation until I fucking trash ’em. So, if any white ass is fucking waiting on a comment to appear, newsfuckingflash, you WILL drop dead BEFORE it EVER appears! I fucking say what goes on up in here, you filthy motherfuckers!
The above paragraph does NOT apply to you Dr. Bramhall. I truly thank you for your spot on comment. The whites have relegated the Indians into almost non-existence and as we both know, it is now time to put Black people in the same boat with the few remaining Indians that’s left. There are so few Indians remaining that no one even bothers mentioning the Indians anymore. They are all but forgotten and as you can see, the whites didn’t give a shit, just like they don’t give a shit for anybody but themselves.
Thank you for your comment!

Reblogged this on An Outsider's Sojourn II and commented:
After you read this, then follow it up with the next article I posted today.
We Caucasians need to wake up to the hard truth that Black people are still being harassed slaughtered by this white owned and operated government. Racism and bigotry are still alive in this country, Mr and Ms Merica, and it’s time for us to awaken to this truth.
And then we need to stand against this evil that is being perpetrated against our fellow human beings. When black people are treated and attacked this way, we are being attacked, because we are all members of humanity: what is perpetrated against one of us is perpetrated against all!
Read this and let it sink and resonate with you! This is righteous anger! Put yourself in this writer’s position, and tell me you wouldn’t feel and express similar or even the same feelings out loud!
This needs to end, and what this government is perpetrating on the world needs to end! We are responsible!
