I hope you’ve all heard this song. If not, here it is. Listen to this and think about what’s going on in our corrupt, racist country.
Spread this shit like wildfire. People are quoting white people from To Kill a Mockingbird, but won’t listen to a black song about black rage.
ALL proceeds go to Michael Brown’s family
A black ribbon is a symbol of remembrance and mourning. Used also as a political statement. And in this case, a Black ribbon to also represent racial hate crime.
Reblog this Ribbon, Let the symbol of our hearts show to Michael Brown in this case, and also for all those affected by the same.
Never forget.
(The Ribbon is transparent)
“Riots work.” At least, that’s according to Run the Jewels. In a video exclusive to the BBC, Killer Mike discussed how the events that unfolded on the streets of Ferguson last year forever changed the city for the better. And Ferguson’s own law enforcement actually agrees.
He co-founded Hands Up United and was instrumental in the Ferguson protests. He was found dead in a burning car in September. Case is unsolved.
Two years before, another Ferguson protester, Deandre Joshua, was also found dead in a burning car. Case is unsolved.
And now…do you remember this man? On the viral photo that was everywhere?
His name was Edward Crawford. He was found dead today. In a car.
The police are saying it was self-inflicted.
Someone is hunting Ferguson protesters.
The New York Post calling protestors “Anarchists” what a joke
Darren Wilson goes free. I am so fucking disgusted right now I’m fucking shaking with anger
