The guy who runs Bushwick Flea is scum.
These people are just as disgusting as I thought they would be. And the fact that they don’t understand that the wall is being used as a euphemism for gentrification and not being blamed as the cause is ridiculous.
Fuck this guy.
Wow
no one wants to see that ugly ass yarn bullshit.
This system got y'all thinking "legal" means "right.” Reminder:Slavery was “legal”...
Remember that, yesterday? (There are like 10,000 people shutting down Manhattan highways right now BTW.)
Hit the bail fund. Alternately, support some Ferguson funds.
UPDATE: Diego faces more than 200 years in prison. Darren Wilson? 0 years.
FUCK. 200 years????
200 years over some fucking paint?!?!?
To understand the extreme reaction you got to know who you’re dealing with. Bratton, the new overseer and enforcer of racial profiling stop n frisk, quotas, also the dude that CREATED the Muslim surveillance program. This motherucker hates black and brown folks and doesn’t give a damn who knows it.
Forest Whitaker was frisked at a store in NYC on Friday after an employee accused him of stealing. He was frisked in plain view of everyone. Of course, the pat down produced nothing. The employee then reportedly beg the Academy Award winning actor not to tell store management in fear that the episode would cost him his job. Forest, in turn, asked that the store change their behavior and treat the public in a fair and just manner in the future. See, not even an Academy Award can stop a Black man from being criminalized. Liberated from NewsOne.
Via Black In Public, Black Out Loud, and Black On Purpose!
No one is safe. (I am talking about black people here.)
But I thought if Black People only were respectable and didn’t sag their pants, and spoke proper king’s english, racism wouldn’t affect them. You mean fame and money doesn’t stop racism from happening, I for sure thought that if you’re a successful Black person, there’s no way, racism can hinder you I mean you have money, you have fame. What do you mean racism is an systematic institution, that no amount of wealth or respectability politics will curve that? What do you mean that racism isn’t just a mentality, and have real life repercussions? It’s almost as if this incident is saying, that Blackness is hated so much it’s seen as inherently bad and criminal even when the Black person in question is a Academy Award Winner, and is liked by white people.
an upcoming event about the new NYC mayor, the new NYPD commissioner, and the future of stop and frisk and the NYPD.
end stop and frisk! no more Bratton!
You don’t get stopped and frisked for being profiled as a white supremacist. You’re more likely to get people defending your right to be a white supremacist than having your rights violated because of it.
Leftists really cheapen the phrase “white supremacist” when they use it to describe your average white American.
if the shoe fits
SHIT
