Freedom of Speech and Censorship
A Bundle of Flags
Looking at the flags
of all the murdering
gangs we call armies
Tribal brutality
from those
red-heart fools
who fail to look
deeper than covers
Ask yourself
Should we march
under them
to our death
or bundle
them all
for the burning?

So I just watched this and am still crying. Seriously. I just have absolutely no fucking words for what this police force did and were found negligent of; but no charges were ever filed. Ever.
And while the city paid to rebuild the houses that were burned down, they were condemned in 2000 due to shoddy construction.
The ONLY spark of light in the entire documentary was ONE white officer who managed to save one child from that fire ( and even then another officer tried to stop him ), Officer James Berghaire. After his testimony, "nigger lover" was written on his police locker, and left the force due to PTSD.
There are some things that MOVE did that I do not agree with, i.e. - blasting on a loudspeaker in a residential neighborhood, touting guns despite the fact they they did not work and were all for show, etc. Every gun pulled out of that house was proven not to have worked; therefore, that initial gunfire could not have been from the MOVE house.
This is one of the most massive coverups in plain sight I've ever witnessed. And not one person paid for it except innocent children and neighbors who lost their homes, and everything they owned. Every photo. Every memento. Everything they held precious, because they were told they would only be gone for one day, then could return the next evening. So of course they packed sparingly.
"Let the fire burn."
Tragic. Senselessly tragic.
It took me a little bit of time to finish watching this but I am so glad I did.
Unbelievable, this is never discussed in schools.
Real history, the truth was buried behind a facade of civil rights laws.
The civil Rights movement was a huge step towards freedom, but this incident makes it seems like it was idle chatter to the ones who didn't believe in equality
It reminds me of 1867 -68 Galveston Texas (Ahavati please correct me if I am wrong )
The message, The Emancipation Proclamation did not reach Texas until 2-2.5 years after it's passing
It was a busy port how did they not get the message ? Because some didn't want to hear it .
I mean damn, the shame upon those who participated, and who believed in putting this in motion. It is nothing less than a crime against the African Americans of the move organization but also crime against humanity itself how did the authorities did not accept that as fact?
The destruction, devestation, and elimination of lives was brutally tragic
Without justice,......Pure Evil
Thank you

Russel Charles Means says everyone is on the reservation now.
Another thing; why do people think whiteness = safety with police?
Seriously. Plenty of white children fear them.
So what is the deal?
Sharecroppers weren’t even promised 40 acres and a mule. They weren’t even as valued as slaves because they weren’t owned. Those farms were little better than death camps. Farms still have high suicide rates for farmers.
We hear so little about the Chinese slaves and those atrocities. They should call themselves black so they can get reparations.
I’m upset because plenty of minorities are at risk or owed fair treatment.
8 million Jews live in the USA. They’re being abused and terrorized this month. Oppressed. They better claim blackness; they are 2.5 more likely to be oppressed.

It was pure evil, especially when those two officers claimed they were being shot at by those who were trying escape the burning house. The look on that minister's face when he questioned those two officers, asking them what would make someone holding a baby run back into a burning house after trying to escape it?
Well we all know it was because they were being shot at. It was a game to the police; they wanted no survivors. And the only officer that did give a shit was the one who saved Michael, even though another officer was trying to hold him back. And we saw what happened to him. Nope, those two shitty officers weren't expecting a survivor who would tell the story. They didn't WANT a survivor to tell the story.
It didn't matter; even though found negligent, nothing ever came of it. They, like so many others, carried on with their lives like nothing had ever happened.
The majority of White people are ignorant in this country; totally ignorant because they're deaf, dumb, and blind to what they don't want to know, and selective about what they teach. It's because history belongs to the hunter, until the lion has his day.

Kansas had to pass a law to tell cops they can't have sex with people they're arresting
Kansas just became the 18th state to make it illegal for cops to have sex on the job.
Kansas police officers are now specifically forbidden from having sex with someone during a traffic stop, for example, while they’re interrogating someone in custody, or during an interview in a criminal investigation, according to the bill Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer signed into law last week.
Rep. Cindy Holscher told the Wichita Eagle that she introduced the bill in response to allegations of sexual abuse in a police investigation into a wrongful murder conviction. Affidavits in the case alleged that, over decades, retired white homicide detective Roger Golubski repeatedly threatened to arrest black women or their family members unless they had sex with him.

The history of Black management reveals an overlooked form of capitalism
On June 4, the reverend Al Sharpton appeared at the first public memorial for George Floyd and delivered a stirring eulogy, one that served as a bridge linking the personal grief of the slain man’s family with America’s history of racism and violence against Black people.
He presented a long, devastating account of the ways Black Americans have been metaphorically pinned down—physically, spiritually, and economically—just as Floyd had been suffocated by the Minneapolis police officer who kneeled on his neck. “We were smarter than the underfunded schools you put us in, but you had your knee on our neck,” Sharpton said. “We could run corporations and not hustle in the streets,” he also said, “but you had your knee on our neck.”

That’s nice. But if #alllivesmatter didn’t need to be said then why would conservative black leaders keep explaining why they don’t agree with the race-baiting slogan.
Also, it’s not a national movement! It’s worldwide. I’m still getting over looking up that hashtag yesterday. Instead of doing anything I just sort of went to mush...
Everybody is being governed by a force that wants our culture hacked up into gangs. Nobody is given power. Women, gay and other minorities are totally being treated (list of 10 things 4 white people to do) like they are unscathed Privilege instead of being allowed to keep focusing on their liberty movements.
It serves the kkk when every other oppressed people takes a backseat now. They want this so bad, those worms.
is support for blacks and calls for reforms to ensure ALL people are treated equally.
“Fuck white people” “the only good cop is a dead cop” etc. will not help blacks. Other nations within this empire having the #metoo voices is how people share woe and bond over tragedy.
Bikers formed a wall of meat around our commander in chief.
Other groups can veil themselves in a dark mantle of unity to protect these stars.
“Black” is a dangerous label for them to wear without solidarity!
If we insist on appropriating our inheritance our black common heritage we end the “divide/conquer game!
You are viewing this through the narrow filter that it is all about catering to the needs of blacks only
No, I am saying it doesn’t serve them to stand alone.
and then resenting the view you present to yourself.

YAHHHHZZZZ! Keep dreaming, DREAMers!
Supreme Court Rules Against Trump Administration In DACA Case
A narrowly divided Supreme Court extended Thursday a life-support line to some 650,000 so-called DREAMers, allowing them to remain safe from deportation for now, while the Trump administration jumps through the administrative hoops that the court said are required before ending the program.
The vote was 5-to-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts casting the decisive fifth vote that sought to bridge the liberal and conservative wings of the court.
Roberts and the court's four liberal justices said the Department of Homeland Security's decision to rescind DACA was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act. (Read the decision here.)
The Original DREAMer Recalls 'All Pervasive' Fear As An Undocumented Child
In his opinion, Roberts wrote: "The appropriate recourse is therefore to remand to DHS so that it may reconsider the problem anew."
President Trump dismissed the ruling as "politically charged," turning it into a rallying cry for the 2020 election and the opportunity to appoint more conservative justices. The DACA decision follows another major ruling earlier in the week that granted employment protections for LGBTQ people.

Hooray for checks and balances, and the Supreme Court being humane instead of a partisan tool.

Why Most Americans Support the Protests
Never before in the history of modern polling has the country expressed such widespread agreement on racism’s pervasiveness in policing, and in society at large.
Beyond the scenes of protest and resistance playing out in cities across the country, a movement of a different sort has taken hold.
The American public’s views on the pervasiveness of racism have taken a hard leftward turn over the past few years. Never before in the history of modern polling have Americans expressed such widespread agreement that racial discrimination plays a role in policing — and in society at large.
Driven by the Black Lives Matter movement, this shift has primed the country for a new groundswell — one that has quickly earned the sympathy of most Americans, polling shows. As a result, in less than two weeks, it has already forced local governments and national politicians to make tangible policy commitments.
In a Monmouth University poll released this week, 76 percent of Americans — including 71 percent of white people — called racism and discrimination “a big problem” in the United States. That’s a 26-percentage-point spike since 2015. In the poll, 57 percent of Americans said demonstrators’ anger was fully justified, and another 21 percent called it somewhat justified.

Implicit and explicit bias
In 2009, the year President Barack Obama took office, just 36 percent of white Americans said the country needed to do more to ensure that black people gained equal rights, according to a Pew Research Center poll. By 2017, four years after the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, that number had leapt to 54 percent of white people and roughly three in five Americans over all.
Sixty-one percent of the country in that poll said it supported Black Lives Matter.
While polls can tell us only what people say they believe — and could therefore be affected by a respondent’s desire to sound politically correct — a 2018 study by two social psychologists determined that even people’s implicit attitudes had shifted during the Black Lives Matter movement.

Times; they are a changing, my friend. Despite the naysayers and those who want to shit all over the movement.
