He is referring to the madness that occurred at the Capitol Hill on January 6. We all (black folks) were thinking the same thing. When black and brown people are involved in criminal activity, somehow someway, guess what? They never need help tracking those people down. This is what all communities and the world are talking about. I don't have the energy to talk about all the inequality in the U.S. criminal justice system. Even the FBI and the CIA monitored King and Malcolm X more than any other persons. When I was a child I always heard the phrase,
"black people can't do what white folks can do" and it is true!
This first tweet from Tariq is re-tweeted from another person's page who goes by the name of Cleavon MD. Cleavon MD introduces us to a woman by the name of Jenny Cudd from Midland Texas. In the video link in purple (please watch it) this woman has the audacity to brag about what she did at the Capitol like it was the best deed in the world. Her name is going down in those Social Studies books. Her entire bloodline might want to change their last names. Or maybe they just might be proud like her. Jenny Cudd is the apotheosis of white privilege. America
won't even legalize being a black human being but this was allowed to happen.
Then she was able to walk home and do interviews about it! Let that sink all the way in. Jenny had no problem articulating what they did do and what they didn't do. The most irritating part about all of this Capitol Hill foolishness is, when the white media continues to act like they just don't know or understand how it could have happened. Come on! Really?
As a @followgoosehead customer, I am absolutely disgusted. Anybody looking for a homeowners insurance customer?
Jemele Hill retweets @SollenbergerRC exposing a lawyer by the name of Paul Davis. Davis is the Associate General Counsel for Goosehead. According to Sollenberger, Paul is also over human resources at Goosehead Insurance. He is another one that has no qualms talking publicly about his initials all on Capitol Hill. This is why those groups of people labeled by the dominant society as the minorities, have to be very careful. We are actually the majority but we don't know who we are dealing with when we do business with folks. This man is a lawyer and over hiring people.
Like I said yesterday, there is a white supremacy problem in law enforcement and we can’t expect the police to enforce anything against people they actually agree with
They don't agree with black lives that do and always will matter. Remember all those times how law enforcement treated peaceful protesters? They called King and Malcolm X trouble makers for peacefully standing up for their rights. Mr. John Lewis said, start some good trouble. Regardless if the people are pink or blue, if they are being rioters they should be dealt with by law enforcement accordingly. For the record, those who were allowed to be destructive on Capitol Hill January 6, were not patriots. As Americans we are collectively outraged by the episodes that transpired on the Hill. We are not really shocked by a lot of the things this government and country has done to the history of black people and continues doing! You do not get to call black people (tax payers) thugs as they have been fighting for racial justice forever, when they protest peacefully and white folks patriotic when they try overthrowing the government with an extra dose of violence up their premeditated sleeves. I understand they felt like the system did them wrong and wanted to protest. Black people feel this way all the time. Can you fathom that? It is their right to peacefully protest. There probably were peaceful protesters in the crowd. What we witnessed wasn't that!
It’s easy for Republicans to condemn the president today because the worst possible scenario actually happened. What defines you isn’t how you behave and respond when it’s not convenient or comfortable.
I don't think individuals understand how legacy and the foundations they create play vital roles in the bloodlines of their families. If they did there would be much more transparency. They do not! Some of those men and women who are blessed to hold their congressional jobs did nothing but watched the flames heighten.
This massive backpedaling from Republicans is actually more insulting. They don’t deserve credit for shit. They have been complicit for four years, and kissed Trump’s ass at every turn. It took an insurrection that killed somebody for them to show some basic decency. Fuck. Off
Yes, they let President Trump throw a tantrum for 4 years and have his way at all times, then when the baby threw up in their faces they figured they have to clean it up now!
Let’s just be clear about something: The reason the Capitol police were slow to respond is because they gave these white people the benefit of the doubt and treated it like a joke. Their reaction isn’t the same because they see black people as a threat that needs to be eliminated
Here is a teachable moment. Jemele is telling the truth and nothing but the truth so help us Yahweh. They are quick to shoot our boys and men and black folks in a split second because they "feared for their lives" but they did absolutely none of that at Capitol Hill. Those white folks were allowed to be escorted off the roof peacefully. If that was your black son he would be dead. They were not shown any force but they resisted to the 10th power and it is all on video. They say black people resisted arrest and kill us in a second. No one feels anything and no one cares but the family of the slain. How do you think that makes us feel? The way they allow some officers to treat black and brown citizens of the the United States, interrupts the mental wellness of our minds. We can't help but to become mentally ill seeing and experiencing over and over again how the police treats one group (blacks) verses another group (whites) of people. What are you going to do differently Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
Y'ALL
This is a retweet Jemele got from CBS This Morning about the young 22 year old woman who attacked a 14 year old boy for thinking he stole her iphone. For some reason it is so convenient to blame black boys for anything because they are not given the benefit of the doubt. Miya Ponsetto saw a young black boy with an identical iphone like hers. She actually lost her phone. She probably thought he couldn't afford an iphone so the phone he had, must've been hers. We all need to pray for discernment. Seriously! It can save a lot of lives. He just had to have stolen her phone. Miya even had the nerve to cry "I'm only a 22 year old girl" but was quick to call the black boy a man. Isn't that interesting? This is why our babies are not allowed to make mistakes and be young boys and girls. They view them as women and men! Miya was not trying to own up to her part of attacking a 14 year old boy. Why was it so easy for her to think she could attack him? She was also quick to give off some of her disrespect to Gayle King doing the interview. She has been arrested for assaulting a 14 year old boy, as you will see in the video. She went after him! I thought they made more than one iphone like hers. Oh, and her phone was all of a sudden returned to her. The young boy she attacked was actually innocent. This is how we are as a society. Black people have also been conditioned to hate and distrust each other. I am not saying everybody in the world are good people. I am just saying all black boys are not criminals despite what the media feeds you.
This is Richard Barnett of Gravette, Arkansas posing in Nancy Pelosi’s office. He also posed with stolen mail. He should be arrested immediately.
Again, this white privilege has gone way too far now! It must die! Mr. Barnett is the white man who went into Nancy Pelosi's office aiding and abetting criminal charges for his life. This man took her mail, set in her chair, and took a bunch of selfies. Our sons and boys can't even walk in the neighborhood without being harassed by those people who take an oath to serve and protect all. We know some officers do but they aren't the focus right now! Their jobs are hijacked by the bad behavior of those cops we call "race soldiers." Richard knew he could do that! He had no fear or worries. Black mothers and fathers have to give their sons speeches so they can come back home alive but this man could do what he wanted. He lived to talk about it. He is in custody of law enforcement now but he is not dead. Do you guys see what we go through? This is disheartening as well as disgusting! The police did not feel any threats from any of the Richard Barnett folks. Evidence shows they were full of threats. A brother by the name of Brian Sicknick lost his life defending the Capitol! The United States of America treat black men and women terribly when it comes to their criminal justice. They always let the Richard Barnetts of the world, just float on by. Here is your chance again America to turn from your wicked ways!
BREAKING: After years of public pressure to keep a U.S. president who incites violence and pushes conspiracy theories to millions, Twitter on Friday permanently suspended Donald Trump's @realDonaldTrump account in a move that was accelerated by the Jan 6 riot at the Capitol.
President Trump has no more Twitter power. They suspended his account today. Now, all the other social media brands are doing the same thing. I don't see it as a good thing. I don't see it as a bad thing either. My only concern is, they can do that to any of us. Censorship is something I would never advocate for but I do understand why they did it! They waited until the last minute but um, okay! I hope they tighten up the security for the inauguration coming up this month. I don't know about Kamala but I don't think I would be too relaxed at the January ceremony if random people can break into the Capitol and get away with it. Did you see all those pictures and videos? Where was national security? Where were all those cameras? They make security better than this even in Hollywood movies! "Take Back The Steal" is going to be the phrase for centuries.
