As long as a white man does it's all right a black man is supposed to have no feelings
He's an extremist
He's supposed to sit passively and have no feelings be nonviolent and love his enemy
No matter what kind of attack be it's verbal or otherwise, he's supposed to take it
but if he stands up and in any way tries to defend himself
Then he's an extremist
No, I think that the speaker who preceded me is getting exactly what he asked for the
Main reason for believing in extremism
Intelligently directed extremism
Extremism in defense of Liberty
Extremism in quest of Justices because I firmly believe in my heart that the day that the black man
Takes an uncompromising step and realizes that he's within his rights
When his own freedom is being jeopardized
To use any means necessary to bring about his freedom will put a halt to that injustice
I don't think he'll be by himself
I live in America where there are only 23 million blacks against probably 160 million whites
One of the reasons that I am in no way
Reluctant or hesitant to do whatever is necessary to see that black people do something to protect themselves
I honestly believe that the day that they do
Many whites will have more respect for them and there will be more whites on their side and are now on this side with these
Little wishy-washy love thy love. Thy enemy
Approach that they've been using up to now
And if I'm wrong then you are racialist
As I said earlier in my conclusion, I'm a Muslim I
Believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah, I believe in Muhammad. I believe in all of the prophets. I
believe in fastening prayer charity in that which is
incumbent upon a Muslim to fulfill in order to be a Muslim
In April, I was fortunate to make the Hajj to Mecca and went back again in September to try and carry out my religious
functions and and and
Requirements, but at the same time that I believe in that religion, I have to point out
I'm also an American Negro and I live in a society
Whose social system is based upon the castration of the black man whose?
Political system is based on castration of the black man and whose economy is based upon the castration of the black men
Society which in
1964 has more subtle deceptive deceitful methods to make the rest of the world think that it's cleaning up his house
while at the same time the thing same things are happening to us in
1964 that happened in 1954
1924 and in 1884 they came up with what they call a civil rights bill in
1964 supposedly to solve our problem and after the bill was signed our three civil rights workers were murdered in cold blood
And the FBI are hit Hoover admits that they know who did it
They've known ever since it happened and they've done nothing about
Civil rights bill down the dream no matter how many people pass black people in their country
Where I'm from still there?
Our lives are not worth two cents and the government has shown its inability
Our either its unwillingness to do whatever is necessary to protect life and property where the black American is concerned
so my consent contention is that whenever eight people
Come to the conclusion that the government which they have supported proves itself
Unwilling and four proves itself unable to protect our lives and protect our property because we have wrong color skin
We are not human beings unless we ourselves
been together and do whatever however whenever is
necessary to see that our lives and our property is
Protected and I doubt that any person in here what refuse to do the same thing
Were he in the same position or I should say where he in the same condition?
This one stepfather to see am I justified in this stand can I say I'm not speaking
I'm speaking as a black man from America, which is a racist society. No matter how much you hear talk about democracy
It's a racist in South Africa or as racist as Portugal or as racist as any other racial
Racialist Society on this on this earth the only distance between it in South Africa South Africa
preaches separation and practice of separation America preaches integration and practices segregation
This is the only difference they don't practice what they preach for a South Africa preaches and practices the same thing
I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands even if he's wrong
Then the one who comes up like an angel and there's nothing but a step
People via the system of government that America has consists of committees
There are 16 senatorial committees that govern the country and 20 congressional committees
10 of the 16
Senatorial committees are in the hands of southern racialist senators who are racialist
13 of the 20 abroad this was before the last election. I think it's even more so now
10 of the 16 committees senatorial committees are in the hands of senators who are southern racialist
13 of the 20 congressional committees were in the hands of
southern congressmen who are racialist which means out of the 36 committees that govern the foreign and domestic
Direction of that government 23 are in the hands of southern racialist men who in no way
Believe in the Equality of men and men who do anything within their power to see that the black man
Never gets to the same seat or to the same level that they are on
the reason that these men from that area have that type of power is because America has a seniority system and
in disease who have this seniority have been there longer than anyone else because
the black people in the areas where they live can't vote and it is only because
The black man is deprived of his full that puts these men in positions of power
That gives them such influence in the government beyond their actual
intellectual or political ability or even beyond the number of people from the areas that they represent so we have we can see
In that country that no matter what the federal government professes to
Be doing the power of the federal government lies in these committees. And any time a black man or any kind of legislation is
Proposed the benefits a black man or get the black man has just do we find that it's locked up in these committees right here
And when they let something fill the committee
Usually it is all chopped up and fixed up that by the time it becomes law as a law that can't be enforced
Another example is the Supreme Court desegregation decision that was handed down in
1954 this is a law and this law they have not been
able to implement this law in New York City or in Boston or in
Cleveland or Chicago or the northern city? And my contention is that anytime you have a country supposedly a democracy?
Supposedly the land of the free and the home of the brave and it can't enforce laws even in the northern wolf
Cosmopolitan and progressive part of it that will benefit a black man
If those laws had been for for that law has been for how much heart do you think we will get when they pass some?
Civil rights legislation, which only involves more law if they can't enforce this law. They'll never enforce those laws
So my contention is then we are faced with a realistic society a society in which they are deceitful
Deceptive and the only way we can bring about of genes is to talk the kind of laying stick the language that they understand
the racialist never understand a peaceful language the racialist never
Understands the nonviolent language the racialist we have he spoken his language to us for 400 years
We have been the victim of his brutality
We are the ones who face his dogs that tear the flesh from our limbs
Only because we want to enforce the Supreme Court decision
We are the ones who have our skulls crushed not by the Ku Klux Klan
But by policemen only because we want to enforce what they call the Supreme Court decision
We are the ones upon whom water hoses are turned with pressure so hard that it rips the clothes for my back
Not men, but the clothes from the backs of women and children
You've seen it yourself only because we want to enforce what they call the law
Well anytime you live in a society supposedly based upon law and it doesn't enforce this own law because the color of a man's skin
Happens to be wrong. Then. I say those people are justified to resort by any means necessary
To bring about justice where the government can't hit them
I
Don't believe in any form of unjustified
extremism
But I believe that when a man
Is exercising extremism a human being is exercising extremism?
in defense of
Liberty for human beings is no violence
and when one is moderate
In the pursuit of justice
For human beings I say he's a sinner
And I might add in my conclusion
In fact America is one of the best examples when you read especially about extremism poll Patrick Henry said Liberty or death
That's extreme. I
Read one passingly about a man named Shakespeare
I only read about him passing passing me, but I remember one thing he wrote they tried to move me
He put it in the mouth of Hamlet. I think it was and said to be or not to be
He was in doubt about them
Nobler in the mind of man to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
moderation or to take up arms
Against a sea of troubles and by opposing end
And I vote for that
if you take up arms you'll end it but if you sit around and wait for the one
Who's in power to make his mind that he should end it you'll be waiting a long time
And in my opinion the young generation of whites blacks brown
Whatever else there is you're living at a time of extremism the time of revolution a time when there's got to be a change
people in power have misused it and now there has to be a change and a better world has to be
built and the only way it's going to be built with it whether it is with
Extreme methods and I for one will join in with anyone
Okay, what color you are as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth. Thank you
And help welcome our honored distinguished guests the Reverend dr. Martin Luther King
Thank you, very kindly
Principle for nazy
Mr. Williams
Members of the faculty and members of the student body
barrett junior high school ladies and gentlemen, I
Need not pause to say how very delighted I am to be here today and
To have the opportunity of taking a brief break in a pretty busy schedule in the city of Philadelphia
To share with you the students of Barry junior high school and
I want to express my
personal appreciation to principal and the administration
For inviting me and for giving me the opportunity
to see
this very fine than
enthusiastic group of
students here at Barratt I
Guess out of start out with a commercial
and
that is
Tonight
We're gonna have a great night in the city of Philadelphia at the spectrum
Now, I know you've heard of that new
Impressive structure called the spectrum
and I know you've heard of Harry Belafonte and Aretha Franklin and
nipsey Russell and Sidney Poitier and all of these other
great and outstanding artists
well
They're gonna be here tonight at the spectrum and I hope that each of you will go home and tell your parents
to be that a night for this great freedom festival and I hope you will come also for it will be a
great experience and by coming
You will be supporting
The work of the civil rights movement
Now that I've gotten the commercial out of the way
Move on and
Say some things that I want to say very briefly
And I'm being brown honest I'm going to be brief
Because I have other engagements. I don't have a
Tradition of being briefed all the time. You know, I'm a Baptist preacher and we can talk a long time
But I'm gonna really be brief today I
Want to ask you a question and that is what
Is in your life's blueprint
This is the most important and
Crucial period of your lives for
what you do now and what you
Decide now at this age may well determine
Which way your life shall go
And whatever building is constructed
You usually have an architect who draws a blueprint
and
that blueprint serves as the pattern as
the guide
as
the model for
Those who are to build the building
And a building is not well
erected
Without a good sound and solid blueprint
Now each of you is in the process
Of building the structure
of your lives
and
the question is
whether you have a proper a
solid and
a sound blueprint and
I want to suggest
Some of the things that should be
in your life's blueprint
Number one in your life's blueprint should be a
Deep
belief
In your own dignity your own Worth and your own somebody nice
Don't allow anybody to make you feel that
You are nobody
Always feel that you count always feel that you have Worth
And all always feel that your life has
Ultimate significance now, that means that you should not be ashamed of your color
You know, it's very unfortunate that in so many instances our
Society has placed a stigma on the Negroes color
and you know, there are some Negroes who are
ashamed of themselves
But don't be ashamed of your color don't be ashamed of your biological features
Somehow you must be able to say in your own lives and really believe it. I am black but
beautiful and
And therefore you need not be loved
Into purchasing cosmetics
Advertised to make you lighter
Neither do you need to process your hair to make it appear straight?
I have good hair and it as good as anybody else's have in the world
Now in your life's blueprint be sure
that you have there a
principle of
somebody new secondly
In your life's blueprint
You must have as a basic principle the determination to achieve excellence in
Your various fields of endeavor
You're going to be deciding as the days and the years unfold what you will do in life
What your life's work will be?
And once you discover what it will be set out to do it and to do it well and
I say to you my young friends that
Doors are opening to each of you doors of
opportunity opening to each of you that were not open to your mughals and to your father's and the great challenge facing you is
To be ready to enter these doors
As they open
Ralph Waldo Emerson the great essay has said in a lecture back in
1871 that if a man can
Write it that a book of preach a better sermon
I'll make a better mousetrap than his neighbor even if he builds his house in the woods
The world will make a beaten path
to his door
That hadn't always been true, but it will become
Increasingly truth and so I would urge you
to study hard
to burn the midnight oil I
Would say to you don't drop out of school and I understand all of the sociological reasons
Why we often drop out of school?
But I urge you in spite of your economic plight in
Spite of the situation that you are forced to live soil with intolerable conditions
Stay in school and
When you discover what you're gonna be in life
Set out to do it as if God Almighty
Called you at this particular
moment in history
to do it and
Just don't set out to do a good Negro job, but do a good job that anybody could do
They'll set out to be just a good
Negro doctor the Negro lawyer the Negro
schoolteacher the Negro preacher the Negro Baba beautician a good Negro skilled laborer
For if you set out to do that you have already flux your matriculation
Exam for entrance into the university of integration central to do a good job and do that job
So well that the living the dead of unborn
Couldn't do it any better
The Falls you'll love to be a streetsweeper
Sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures
Sweep streets like Beethoven composed music
sweep streets like
Liam teen priest sings before the myth of Metropolitan Opera
And sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry
Sweep streets
so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say
here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill be a scrub in Diwali
But be the best little scrub on the side of the real
Be a bush
If you can't be a tree if you can't be a highway
Just be a trail. If you can't be the Sun be a star for it isn't my size that you win?
Are you fail be the best of whatever you are
We always we already have some noble examples
of black men and black women
Who demonstrated to us that?
Human nature cannot be catalogued
they and their own lives have walked through long and
Desolate nights of oppression and yet they've risen up in plunged
against cloud field nights of affliction
New and blazing stars of inspiration and so from an old slave cabin of Virginia's heels
Booker T. Washington rose up
To be one of America's grid leaders. He lit a torch in Alabama
and darkness flared in that setting
Yes, you should know this because it's in your own city
From a poverty-stricken area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Maren Anderson rose up
to be the world's greatest
contralto
so that a Toscanini could say that a voice like this comes only once in a century and
Sibelius of Finland could say my roof is too low for such a voice from the Red Hills of Gordon County
Georgia and the harms of a mother who can neither read nor write roll and haze
rolls up to be one of the world's great singers and
Carried his melodious voice into the palaces and mansions of kings and queens
from crippling
circumstances there came a George, Washington
Carver to carve for himself an imperishable niche in the annals of science
There was a start in the diplomatic sky and then came Ralph Bunche the grandson of a slave
Preacher and he reached up and grabbed it and allowed it to shine in his life with all of its
Scintillating beauty there was a star in the athletic sky
Then came Jackie Robinson in his day and Willie Mays in his day with that powerful
Batson that calm spirits then came Jesse Owens
With his fleet and dashing feet then came Joe Lewis and Muhammad Ali
with an educated fist all of them came to tell us that we can be
Somebody and to justify the conviction of the port fleece alocs and black complexion
cannot forfeit nature's clean
Skin may differ but affection
Dwells in black and white the same the fire was so tall as to reach the pole
To grasp the ocean at a span. I must be measured by my soul
The mind is the standard of the man
finally
Finally in your last blueprint
Must be a
Commitment to the eternal principles
Of beauty
Love and
Justice
Don't allow anybody to
Pull you so low as to make you hate them
Don't allow anybody to cause you to lose
Your self-respect to the point
That you do not struggle for justice
however, young you are
You have a responsibility
To seek to make your nation a better nation in which to live
you have a responsibility to seek to make life better for everybody and
So you must be involved
in
the struggle for freedom and
justice
Now in this struggle for freedom and justice, there are many
constructive things that
we all can do and that we all must do and
We must not
Give ourselves to those things which will not
solve our problems
You heard the word
Nonviolent and you've heard the word violent I
Happen to believe in non-violence
We struggled with this method with young people and adults alike
All over the south and we have won some
significant victories and we've got a struggle with it all over the north because the problems are as
Serious in the north as they are in the south
But I believe as we struggle with these problems
We've got a struggle with them with a method
That can be militant
But at the same time does not destroy life of property and so our slogan must not be
burn baby burn
It must be big Oh baby bill
Yes, our slogan must be learn baby learn so that we can earn and baby earn
And with a powerful commitment I believe
That we can transform dark yesterday's of injustice and to bright tomorrow's of justice and humanity
Let us keep going toward the goal of selfhood
so the realization of the dream of brotherhood and
Toward the realization of the dream of understanding goodwill
Let nobody stop us. I close by quoting once more the man that the young lady quoted
That magnificent black bard who is now passed on
Langston Hughes
One day he wrote a poem entitled mother to son
The mother didn't always have a grammar, right, but she uttered words of great
symbolic for fun dirty
Well, son, I'll tell you
Life for me ain't been no crystal stared. It's had tax in it
boards torn up places with no carpet on the floor bare
But all the time
I've been a climbing on and
Reaching landings and turning corners and sometimes going in the dark but ain't been no light
So boy, don't you stop now?
Don't you set out on the steps? Cause you finds us kind of hard, but I'm still going boy. I
still climbing and life for me ain't
been no crystal stair
Well life for none of us
Has been a crystal style
But we must keep moving
We must keep going
If you can't fly
run
If you can't run walk
If you can't walk crawl, but by all means keep moving
One of Ferguson Missouri as well don't black activists has died
We told you this one yesterday 29 year old Darren seals found shot to death in a burning car on Tuesday in st. Louis
He was one of the leaders of the Ferguson protests after the killing of Mike Brown by a white police officer in 2014. In fact
Seals was one of the first activists who was on the scene
Shortly after Mike Brown was killed he stood within covered in the brown families
They received word and the grand jury declined to indict on for the former officer
Darren Wilson in Brown's death seals who was also here a part is frequently tweeted about racism police violence and
politics just weeks before his death
He described this encounter with police in a tweet saying quote ten detectives pulled me in my 14 year old brother over
Pointed guns on us and told me to choose your enemies
Wisely, what's even more disturbing is that Darren seals is the sixth black man in Ferguson to be found shot to death in
A torched car in the last two years joining me via FaceTime
Say Lewis is Carlos bill a close friend of there and seals on the phone from st. Louis one of seals a fellow activist
Tempo - I want to start with you
Obviously a lot more
Questions than we have answers in the death of Darren seals
Yeah, well I think the community don't have too many questions, I think the community is clear on what's going on here I
Think that you know from our perspective sales was clearly set up
This is clearly I don't even call it. The killer murder. Darren stills was assassinated by somebody and
You know that I'll leave it where is that
You know
we're gonna do what we got to do to try to find some answers because we don't expect the police force or
anybody of any type of authority
To really look into it the right way. When was the last time you talked with Darren? I?
talked to Darren August 6
We talked briefly about some politics. You couldn't couldn't talk to Darren about, you know, you can speak with without talking about politics
But we actually had a different type of relationship
He was managing a rap group and the bottom boys
and we talked about some meetings and stuff that he had with a few label execs and
I
Told him that if you needed a feature or anything for any of the records to go ahead and let me know we plan to
Hook them up and in doing that that was the last conversation I have it is certainly troubling to hear that there have been
six black men killed the exact same way
there in Ferguson st. Louis
Yeah
you know, it's to the point now where you know out here in Ferguson and st. Louis as a whole we don't have
Any misconceptions about what's going on, you know, there's a lot of conversations happening in America today, you know
We're talking about Trump a lot. We're talking about Hillary a lot
We talked about black lives matter a lot, you know the entire movement for black lives a lot
But the reality of it is that you know, this thing started on the ground with the death of Michael Brown jr
And on a certain other was been co-opted terribly by people that aren't from here
and and details was a forerunner and that
Conversation may not say that the way a lot of people wanted of it say it but in his mind
What was more important the most important thing about this?
Movement was keeping the power in the hands of the communities and the people that started
Carlos I want to ask you about that because I file I did follow Darren on Twitter. He was extremely vocal. He was very critical
at
To test point about folks on the outside coming in to Ferguson grabbing the less
He said grabbing the limelight
He also though was criticized for being misogynistic for being homophobic and in the aftermath of this
you've had people throwing accusations at
black lesbians there in Ferguson
Trying to blame them for his death as well
And so it even though there have been folks who was saying Englanders got criticized me disagree with me. I still mourn his death
Your thought on that as well terms of how does all of this
Just back and forth that's going on as people are trying to figure out what in the world happened
Well my personal opinion. I think that
I don't think it has nothing to do with the reason why Derrida kid
Like chuff just to piggyback off what's have said, I believe he was set up
So I could think about some type of argument may have had with somebody here
About you know, they sexuality. I don't think they had anything to do with his death. I believe you've set up by I power
And when you say was why do you why do you believe that
Because in a way in the manner which guy
Like no one really
Maybe I'd vote a lot of people who that's involved in the movement
We don't know where this place is like exactly offhand until we heard about Derek being dead
So it was kind of like a deserted place and what he found this
Burning truck and then for him to be shot and being set on fire. It's like, uh, that's not random that's looking like a
Targeted hit in my opinion
When was the last time you talked with Darren seals I talked to her last week
One of my friends he's uh
He's a rapper and he just had a video to go over like two million views
so Darren reached out to me an egg's me like
And yellow Carlos was no whose do I?
Want to connect with because my friends telling 21 and that's where I liked
He liked working with the young young people. It was about the youth he was about his people in general
Do you
We look at what happened here when you look at this
Particular case again. So many folks say that there are
More questions and answers. How is a community? They're rallying together I've seen
vigils take place
how phones rallying together support one another and our other activists fearful of their lives because again,
Darren seals is one of the most outspoken activists out there
What is the mood they are in Ferguson st. Louis?
right now
People hurt we hurt this was a big blow for us, you know, I
Gotta say it. I didn't only look darn as an activist all three and almost looks at him as a brother
I met him four years ago, my brother
Carry, ball-jointed was killed by the police. I mean, but there have been friends ever since so we all hurt and
As you say it some activists are scared
But well, I have a little affair
But you have to what we are only going up against or what we're going up against
But we won't be quiet about Darren's death because there wouldn't have been quiet had a bit me and it'd been tell that have been
Anybody else there will be both will be loud and we got to do the same thing
Well, so right now people just basically still trying to wrap their mind around the fact that he's gone
and all I'm really trying to like reach out to his mother and his brother because I
Just know how they feel if we feel the way we feel as her as we are
But during death won't be in vain and we won't go quiet about it last question for you TIFF
You are very vocal. You are very prominent. You're very public
Are you concerned for your safety? No?
Not at all
And you know if they I would tell you one thing you're down with hearing me say that I was scared
He was left a mess on him. So no, I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all and
It's the same thing we've been doing since says 2014 and this city right here has pushed the ball
Further than any city has when it comes to resisting the police brutality when it comes to expose and white
supremacy and when it comes to changing the conversation and once again
Through some kind of way. I was thinking about it yesterday, you know
All Darren was trying to do was change the conversation and some kind of wait
I don't know, you know, that's the magic of this man that
Life or death. He was gonna do that and he did it. So no, I'm not scared ain't none of us cared
Tell poke Carlos we certainly appreciate it. Thanks for joining us
We'll certainly keep following this story to see where leads
Right, thanks a lot Rashard. I want to go to you you were very involved in the black lives matter movement
there in Minneapolis st. Paul
This has to be troubling for any
Black lives matter activists in this country. I mean definitely well when this story broken first of all rest in peace to Darren I
Didn't know him personally, but I know there's a lot of folks in Minneapolis in the Twin Cities that did know this young man
for me
You know, it's one of those things you hear so much rhetoric from police unions
About black lives matter people starting a war on law enforcement and different things like that
So it's no surprise to me that you know, these people think that this was a hit
I mean we've seen murders in Minneapolis
we see murders all across the country what they don't usually come with is the car being torched that sounds like evidence trying to be
removed from the scene
So it's not it's not something that's gonna put fear of me
but definitely something that we all have to wake up and kind of be
Cognizant of this is real first thing we saw
attacks against civil rights workers in the 50s and 60s
I don't care who you are
Six black men in the same area shot and killed and burned in a car
That's a problem
I'm deeply troubled by this I think about the gentleman who filmed Eric Garner's death and how he
Has been targeted by the NYPD he's faced arrest and now had a prison for four years
Yeah
And I think we've seen this pattern that people who are speaking up
Using their voice using their cameras to confront police violence have a target on their backs
I hope that the federal government will step in here and ensure that we're not seeing a hate crime play out in
Ferguson but
What we need to press for right now is aggressive investigation and and we need to find out who's behind these murders
First I'll say I mean this is of course the six
Killing of this nature and in recent time in the last term in November 14 was the last one but this is a prime example
First the fact that East st
Louis Police Department in itself is a failed system of reporters down there recently tried to contact a hotline
They found out that for a week. The phones were not being manned. I think it's ridiculous and it goes to show
Just a part of this major criminal justice system
But is a complete failure how the hotline Falls not answer for a week
And of course reporters went down to the police station East st. Louis. They cannot answer basic questions
It's just incredibly and it's not fair. I think to the corsa nation as a whole and of course in the city of st
Louis kick start your day at 7:00 and get the news you need from the perspective
You want news one now with Roland Martin every weekday morning at 7:00 on TV one
Who's sad news?
Missouri activist Melissa McKinney's says that her son died Nate Jones death was not suicide that they lynched her, baby
I'm pure tragedy
I'm gonna speak about how everybody's missing a big picture
Tom is really flying and I remember back on July 19th
How everybody back home
Was going crazy over
Eric Gardner
Who was choked to death?
After he was caught selling
cigarettes
He's a big man. He got taken down a lot of police that
End up being fatal and the famous words. I can't breathe
Resonate through everybody's minds throughout the world. And then it was Michael Brown out of Ferguson, Missouri
St. Louis County officer, Darren Wilson shot Brown who was unarmed six top people said that
Michael Brown was on his knees with his hands behind his back as
Officer Wilson rushed him is shot just brought a lot of attention to st
Louis and then as you all know rise came the FBI got involved
And the grand jury decided not to indict officer
Wilson
then we had laQuan McDonald who was shot 16 times by
Chicago police after he was appeared to be running
Away from the cops. Chicago is known for a lot of violence
And the cops tried to use the whole
Situation and their premise for donuts the fact that he could have been on
lobbying was outreach
by the 16 bullets hit laQuan
and
Their whole thing was he had a knife to me a trace
November 22nd in Cleveland
Had a BB gun and also ran up on them and just start shooting
Some air rice only 12 years old
died on the scene
Well named bris bond
got shot
in Phoenix, Tony Robinson

Between 2014 and 2016
along with the infamous
Trayvon Martin story the Connors started spiraling off in 2012 there seems to be a push
for a new agenda
To focus on what we already knew was in existence in America
The fast forward to today
in this situation
Melissa McKinney son being killed or believing that it was a suicide on October 17th now according to
McKinney's, brother
He was not suicidal at all. He never took any depression medicine
Never suffer from depression. He was just going out the night before and Don. Yang
was found
Hanging with this sheet
That wasn't from their home, and I also stated that
He would know how to tie military nuts
he wasn't skilled in it and I like a lot of
people white
black and in between they rallied at the
Ferguson March Jones and his mother they were active participants
especially at the hand would happen to Michael Brown now st. Louis in the county like America has always been
racist what you have to realize is that they will never be able to control the narrative of
Their experience and that goes for Tulsa
Places like Charleston and all the other cities that have severe hate crimes

show more interest and
Celebrities and spending money on any materialistic thing that they can get their hands on and focuses on being an entertainers
Instead of being entertained and this is gonna keep happening along with several other
tragedies I stayed this over years and years until you focus on
taking care of your situation and getting yourself right and then helping
Someone who's willing to listen to get their situation, right?
And then building a community whether it's online or offline, then this will continue to happen
Because as you know, this is America Weston Paola died a Jones
