in 2018, a seventeen year old black girl from kenosha, wisconsin named chrystul kizer was charged with first degree murder after killing the man who trafficked and raped her. he had previously been arrested in connection to the abuse of a dozen underage black girls but allowed to walk without bail. this is the same justice system that freed kyle rittenhouse
Your “Protect Black Women” posts will not protect us.
Her name was Oluwatoyin “Toyin” Salau
Say Her Name!✊🏾
Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her 28th birthday today with family and friends.
•
Violence against Black women at the hands of the police has continued despite the massive uprisings and demands to hold police accountable.
•
Last year, in Chattanooga and across the country, our people showed tremendous power and solidarity in defense of Black lives.
•
We must continue to organize toward total abolition of the police and all institutions that kill and harm our people. We do this for Breonna Taylor, Ma’Khia Bryant, Rosalyn Bradford, Armetta Foster, and all lives lost at the hands of the police.

happy birthday, beautiful breonna
Watch it, then watch it again.
Using Black Lives Matter to guilt people into supporting other causes does not help your cause and ignores and trivialises the hard work that black people have put into fighting for equality for over a hundred years.

The last survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Hughes Van Ellis 100 years old.
Lessie Benningfield 106
Viola Fletcher 107
It breaks my heart to think how young they were when it happened, and how even at that age it impacted them. 💔💔
Obligatory, I'm showing you the images of living victims to show you it wasn't that long ago because people are alive to remember it.
Obligatory don't forget this was Black Wallstreet that they burned down. Remember that Black people had made something for themselves since slavery, but white people burned it down.
Obligatory don't forget some of the people involved in burning it down were police officers.

Tbh George Floyd was a pornstar and not a hero at all. He's a horrible person to piggyback off and Breona Taylor wouldn't have died if she didn't surround herself with her criminal boyfriend. Yikers..
Now I don’t go off on here a lot, but this shit won’t fly at all! Imma say this once so you better listen: y’all won’t be coming to my ask box, submissions or @ me with this bs. Okay!? Y’all got me all kinds of fucked up! Wtf does being a pornstar have anything do with a man, a Black man dying at the hands of the police?! Breonna Taylor wouldn’t have died if the police had left her place alone and not busted up in her home. The police are the problem. I have had enough with continuing to see stuff like this online. Y’all gon come to me like this on the anniversary of his death?! I think not!
george floyd is not a martyr. he is not a hero. he didn't sacrifice his life. he was murdered. stop thanking him for bursting your bubble of ignorance. stop talking about his legacy as if he chose to die. stop ignoring that police violence continues to exist and continues to murder people.
remember that black lives matter. all over the world.

Fred Hampton Jr visiting his father on Father’s Day…his grave is annually shot by local police
.Some context for this:
-Fred Hampton was a black activist from Chicago – an extraordinary speaker, youth organizer for the NAACP.
-He joined the Black Panthers and shone so brightly that he was made chair of the Chicago chapter when he was only 20.
-He founded the Rainbow Coalition, which brought together Black and Latino activists and radical anti-poverty Catholics. He forged an alliance among major Chicago street gangs to help them make peace and work for social change.
-In 1967, when he was just 19, Hampton was identified by the FBI as a “radical threat.” The FBI tried to subvert his activities in Chicago, sowing disinformation to get the groups he’d drawn together to distrust each other, and getting an FBI plant next to him as a bodyguard.
-(This is part of an illegal FBI program called COINTELPRO, which aimed to paint black civil rights activists (among others) as violent and threatening. If you’ve only seen pictures of the Black Panthers as armed and dangerous revolutionaries, and never heard of their children’s breakfast program, their community health clinics, or their “copwatch” patrols, this is why. It’s because COINTELPRO was a highly successful work of political propaganda.)
-On December 3, 1969, Hampton taught a political education course at a local church, and then several Panthers gathered at his apartment for a late dinner. One of them was the FBI plant bodyguard, who drugged Hampton.
-At 4:45 AM on December 4, a squad of Chicago Police officers and FBI agents with a warrant to search for weapons stormed the apartment. Investigations later showed they fired between 90 and 99 times. The Panther on security detail, Mark Clark, was holding a shotgun. He was shot, and the gun went off into the ceiling. This was the only shot fired by the Panthers.
-Fred Hampton, in another room, didn’t awaken. He was shot in his bed. Twice, in the head, at point-blank range. He was 21.
-Four weeks after witnessing Hampton’s death, his finance Deborah Johnson gave birth to their son, Fred Hampton Jr. That’s him in the photograph, visiting the grave of a father who died before he was born. A resting place riddled with bullets.
y’all wanna disrespect black girls huh?
