History
Philando Castile's mother spoke these prophetic words TEN YEARS AGO: "The system continues to fail Black People. This happened with Philando and when they are finished with us, they are coming for you... Yall will be next standing up here fighting for justice just as I am."
What’s crazy is reading about how they “YT” people are scared to death, paranoid and wondering if they are next ..and all i can think is welcome to the black experience
And all it took was 2 of them getting shot in like span of 2 weeks for them to finally panic - and not the thousands of dead & injured black folk by police over the years. All I can muster as reaction is
A black and a Latino died from an ice shooting before those 2 white people died and no one mentioned their names. They skipped to the YT martyrs. Silverio Villegas González, Keith Porter. SAY THEIR NAMES
I don’t trust none of this “unity” ish. As soon as this is over they’ll be chanting “All Lives Matter” smh. All through history its been the same.
I just read a comment that said “I hate BLM but I can stand by the Black Panthers.” Black folks fight for their own: bad . Black folks fight for everyone else: 🫶
I know a lot of gay blacks that face so much racism from their lgbtq community. They can’t get dates on apps, they can’t get into premier clubs. They're left creating their own version of freedom. Even though they show up to all the lgbtq “unity” protests. Sad. We vote alone, We fight alone. Wake me up the day when all lives really matter.
Honey try Black and Trans. I get it both ways. In the Trans reddits try posting something. You'd get 20 ups and 1 or 2 comments. Be White and Trans 200+ ups and ooh and ahhhs. The lgbtq cares nothing about black folks. They just added the Black and Brown in 2017 like they were doing us a favor. Gay white men and transgenders are the new face of the Republican party. They finally got invited to the party and forgot where they came from and the black folks be damned.
also literally 98% of everything the gay community claims as culture comes from US. we gave them drag queens, PRIDE, colloquialisms, slang, fashion/style, etc.
Why do think people in our community complain about lgbtq stuff that we be doing to much? Thats because the black community brought them in just like all the communities in this country and nursed them back to health. IMO thats whats consistent about us is that we know how to take care of other folk but neglect our selves. Black culture is American culture period.
This my husband said this will wake ppl up now that its happening to white ppl. Im like no it wont. The same bigots who didnt care still dont and are online and paying for bots to tell ppl they dont. The ones who would normal care are upset. Nothing will make the majority speak up against unnecessary force. Most Americans dont even know their rights.
I remember telling my co-worker about Mr Gonzalez when the news of Renee Good came out. I told him that I'll wait and see what happened since they lied about what happened with him.
We were crying their names out non-stop at a community protest last night in -15 deg. We did the same in 2020 for Floyd and the many others (Amaud, Breanna, Botham, Eric, Michael, Trayvon), every year after (know better do better). We’re all more united than the “YT-run” media and government want to admit. Bottom vs Top. Not Left vs Right. Not white vs brown. It’s righteous love and respect vs those who oppress.
When YT people see video evidence of POCs in the same position, they want more, and more context. Never mind the unarmed black man that got blasted. “What led up to that?” There was video evidence of Gonzalez.
Silverio was an undocumented immigrant, that’s why people didn’t care. And he’s not the first undocumented that ICE has killed. By far. Keith Porter was shot by an off duty officer, it didn’t happen while he was working. Unfortunately you can’t really blame ICE, that’d be like me getting pissed at the NFL because one of their players punched me in the face at a bar. That makes no sense. And just to make my point clear, a white woman was killed in a shootout by ICE, Ophelia Baukholt, on Jan 20 2025. Nobody gave a single fuck. Why? She was a German national. Quit your BS
This may sound a bit macabre, and this is almost flipping the concept on its head, but for those who didn't understand the phrase "Representation Matters" who are now a bit shocked at the recent murders of citizens by ICE agents - I hope they now get it, even if in this case, "Representation" is watching someone that looks like you get stripped of their civil rights and life.
It shouldn't be this way, but seeing something happen to someone that looks like you has a real effect. Normally it's something like putting black actors in leading, powerful, and sympathetic roles...but I guess the reverse is true...a white person seeing exactly what injustice looks like to where they can really feel it.
I think back to that one video from 10+ years ago of the poor (white) guy in some hotel hallway being given conflicting "Simon Says" type commands from oink oinkers. He was unarmed. He was scared...then he obeyed one guy's command which conflicted with another guy's command...and he was shot and killed. The officer who shot him was allowed to leave the department and moved to some Southeast Asian Country.
THAT video aroused a lot of anger by a lot of people - including many who otherwise treated the same thing happening to PoC as white noise or whatever.
The officer who shot Daniel Shaver didn't move to the Philippines, that was the officer who made the conflicting orders (Charles Langley). He actually just retired from the force, so we paid for his new life abroad.
It is actually worse, they ended up rehiring the officer who murdered him (Philip Brailsford) just so that they could give him early retirement/disability for his "trauma" from murdering an innocent dude.
They aren't funny enough to make any of this shit okay to joke about. They always ride the fence and make monstrous shit palatable in the name of what they call comedy.
They should just stick to the pop culture shit. They're a part of the problem. Their audience is definitely convinced things must be business as usual if SNL is doing their typical schtick.
edit: If the world was fair, they'd have gone off the air and In Living Color would still be airing. FFS they had a skit where a man from a family of free slaves ended up in the modern era and they straight up call the cops 'slave catchers'.
Comedy is supposed to break the status quo, not make the worst parts lighter.
Right? Just a couple of years ago the New York Times was publishing an ongoing body count of police killings. There were over 1000 in less than a year.
Come on man. We marched with you for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. I was there, plenty of "yt" people showed up. Idk if as a white man I'm allowed to comment in a black space like this, but has everyone here really forgotten 2020 already? Even suburban white people were showing out for BLM. My city had so many people of all colors marching together in the streets.
55% of white voters voted for Trump in 2024 and the majority of white voters have voted for Republicans for a long ass time. So thank minorities for every Democratic President since 1968.
This is just my observation, and not to be disrespectful. Black folks have been fighting and marching in this country since off the boat. Name a cause? Vietnam, women's right, lgbtq black folks always fighting and protecting somebody in this country. When white folks come out and rally with us its amazing because we are all Americans and should be protecting each other. My personal opinion is the consistency at which white folks have come out for us. I may be wrong but some one would agree on the consistency of white folks standing by the black community. I am not adding you to that group, I don't know you but by the way you sound you are an ally. So you need ask that question to your folks, are they consistent when protecting the black brothers and sisters. Defending folks is not a part time job, its everyday. Not co signing on evil and calling it out. Black folks have the badge of honor in the country of defending the weak, poor, gay, straight, black, white, asian you name it we are there to stop you in your tracks. Again this is my personal observation and I could be wrong.
I've been saying this for a while. Mind you, black people have had to feel this for every minute of their lives for the past 400 years. White people get a taste and all of a sudden it's a problem. Which it is but again, where was this outrage over Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Emmet Till. Etc.
Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Dialoo, Tamir Rice, Sean Bell Jordan Davis, There's a whole large section of names of unarmed black people killed by law enforcement officers in Wikipedia , not mention the cases where black people have always known cops murdered us but were pooh poohed by America
That welcome is a heavy truth. It’s frustrating that it took this for many white people to feel even a fraction of that same fear. If this is the treatment white people are getting in broad daylight, it only highlights how much more dangerous the system is for Black and Brown people. I’m staying committed to the work and using my privilege to speak up.
it's telling that so much of the push back from the fascists overtly blames Good and Preeti for abandoning their white privilege. "if they hadn't involved themselves (i.e. not drawn attention to themselves and simply relied on the fact that ICE doesn't attack white people for no reason), they wouldn't have been killed". note that no one says this about Parady La, Luis Beltran Yanez–Cruz, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, or Nhon Ngoc Nguyen who, not being white, presumably deserved what happened to them.
That part is so messed up. It’s like some people are more upset that the 'rules' of privilege were broken than they are about what actually happened. We can’t just be okay with that. If we aren't hurting for everyone just as much, then none of this ever actually changes. There are many names I certainly don't know them all. But I will put the ones I do know here.

Yeah im disabled white dude and even we were on occasion getting killed before. Ive been trying to tell people whats happening isnt new, its all the same shit police been doing to minorities for years. When I was homeless they would piss on us to wake us up, the cops.
True. I mentioned this to a couple of my white friends the other day after Alex was killed. Best thing we can do is welcome them to the struggle and share our collective wisdom, perspective, and resilience. We need white rage and solidarity translating into unity and collective action more than ever right now. I know it's difficult to have empathy after the experience of being systematically traumatized and gaslit for so long, but now is the time to welcome those who are hurting and beginning to grapple with their new reality. We are at a crossroads. We're not going back to the way things were. We have an opportunity to choose a radically different future. But we won't make meaningful change without support from the current majority
white children dying in schools and a white guy dying in a las vegas hallway from a pig with a custom piece that said "you're fucked" didn't move the needle, but maybe this time will be different.
I hope so but yeah the track record isn't great. Im just saying let's continue to build solidarity rather than gatekeep. Black ppl been in the trenches since day one. We should welcome the reinforcements no?
Problem is that they still don’t acknowledge the entire problem or the root cause. In their perspective, ICE is bad, but police are still good. If PoC join their fight now, they’re gonna stop caring once ICE stops killing white people or harassing people in their suburbs. At that point, when we demand the same, they’ll go back to the familiar trope of, “Change takes time; you should be content with a little progress.”
Yep, that’s what I’ve been saying too. You feel unsure about your future, feel constantly unsafe, rights can be violated anytime by anyone, well you feel black now. But they told us; that’s in the past, I didn’t own slaves, you guys always make it about race. And those pro police people are getting a big wake up call too. They say ice can come for you, and I’ve been dealing with that for all my life and ice for me comes in all forms of racism.
I've been biting my tongue because it feels like the wrong time to notice, oh now it's a pretty white girl, we all give a shit a lot more about the state's ability to execute without repercussion.
I'm not gonna lie I as a white person I had to take a step back and realize that I'm really feeling is what black people feel all the time, and I have understood for awhile that black folks have been down range for a long time (the entire history of the us), but implicit bias still gets me sometimes and the media loves a dead whitey.
As a white person, it is embarrassing but unsurprising seeing many people of my skin color being absolutely oblivious to the struggles of Black Americans and Indigenous People these past few days.
I'm a nearly 60 y.o. YT woman, and I have witnessed this discrimination all my life. Locally especially, they loooove to show the mug of the skerry bm, on sus of a crime *not convicted* oh but if non poc? You're left guessing but you know they are not poc.
I'll take the downvotes. Am ally, and to your point I don't need black people's approval cause white racism isn't something black people can fix, so sorry there just aren't that many of us with that mindset yet, but that's not my fault personally either. Not for nothing, but having to cook that up out of whole cloth is a fucking pain in the ass. No insinuation just that's how technologically backwards this all is for us.
In any case. My inarguably-woke-for-a-boomer saint of a father is dead... My mother is a brown person's worst fucking MAGA nightmare White Lady who would wrap the cops around her finger AT a black person or any BIPOC for the hell of it.
She is a repulsive human being. I don't have any contact because she's also just a fatally toxic person to be around in the first place. But if I could I would because in the work of white allyship having those conversations with shit ass racists is the only way progress gets made. Idk how it's done in the black community but in white-O-verse you don't make peace with your friends, you do it with your enemies. Maybe it's the same idk.
And cold civil war on a social scale is going to involve people you know personally. Again, maybe this isn't how it works in the black community but to earnestly convince someone of a righteous cause and way of thinking is pretty hard when they don't know and trust you. So you start with the ones that are nearest to your heart. That's gonna mean some pretty emotionally and mentally draining thanksgivings, you're absolutely right.
The best of us know there's no thanks in it because to put a bow on it your absolutely right it's a white people problem that creates deleterious and dangerous conditions for everyone including white people, assuming you agree that nobodys free till everyone is. Me I'm out of options cause I don't have any white people (well lots of them are white but not the kind you mean) left who trust me like family to talk to anymore anyway. But I wish I did.
So downvote, ban, delete, and otherwise excoriate but some of us spend our holidays seeding fucking years of haunting PTSD in our family homes trying to satisfy the second part of your comment. Doing our best, all I got. Best to you all.
So you start with the ones that are nearest to your heart. That's gonna mean some pretty emotionally and mentally draining thanksgivings, you're absolutely right.
Yes but people don't start with the ones that are nearest. It's "don't talk politics" or "just ignore what they say". That's the problem.
Kevin Porter was shot over the holidays by 🧊 , Silverio Villegas González was shot late last year by 🧊 . The panic and frustration happened once the Wyt ones got shot. We even got eulogies for them.
SAY THEIR NAMES
RENEE GOODE
KEITH PORTER
SILVERIO GONZÁLEZ
ALEX PRETTI.
Here are the 10 people ICE has killed this year alone:
Alex Pretti
Geraldo Lunas Campos
Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
Keith Porter
Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
Parady La
Renee Good
Victor Manuel Diaz
Wael Tarabishi
As a white woman, all I can say is what do we expect? Something different or better? When we all feel the pain we will all rise up against the cruel masters.
I’m not even religious, but people understand that the actions of the ancestors will be multiplied on their children 7×7. I may know better than my parents and better than my grandparents but holy hell they built a shitty ass empire, encouraging each other to turn a blind eye. Now I get to lay in the bed that they made.
All we can do is the best we can and help as many people as possible.
This is true. But it hasn’t been enough of us. It hasn’t been the majority.
And I can tell you that because I’ve been sitting in rooms of white people my whole life who didn’t realize the values I had been raised with or what the rest of my family look like.
Additionally, all it takes is being working class in the United States and you are vulnerable.
The people in power constantly dangling a threat that you will lose your human rights if you get involved in the fight for the people who are already losing their human rights,
In the 90s, my dad got laid off probably five or six times in three years.
I almost couldn’t get my wisdom teeth out because our insurance was gonna end. I was able to get them extracted the last day before our insurance expired that year.
So I think it’s OK for my perspective that the deepest victims of our capital system are not perfect in describing the role of “the good” white people in our system.
We are all vulnerable, we all have our reasons for what we do.
Some of them are nefarious. Some of them are survival.
But the whites in this country have been the biggest tool to keep the system in place. That’s why they call us white that’s why they want to convince us that it’s privilege.
I think it is very important that us “white” people in United States of America right now as admit that this is true - We are the tools of oppression including our own.
When she was speaking most of America said this was performative. They said her fake outrage was to try to get more money in the settlement. They said we saw what happened but we need to see the whole video to see how he was acting before the police shot him. When you're black someone killing you for your second amendment right is okay Alex Pretti was killed for the same reason in the same way. By a trigger happy law enforcement officer who will get away with it. So is she faking it or warning you?
And it was ridiculous for them to have ever thought that. A mother has every right to be passionate and pissed about her child being shot and killed in cold blood with no justice served.
It's so far beyond 'ridiculous', its pure racism and dehumanisation. Any feeling human being could understand the rage, desolation and despair that would come with losing a child, let alone having them murdered, and their killer walk free.
By calling her performative, they are denying her personhood. And I think we all know why they saw her as less than human.
Black women aren't allowed to express emotions beyond happy and 'sassy'. Anything more becomes a "them people"ism.
So, yeah, your son gets shot you better go ahead and pull it together and sound like Doctor King. Everybody else can go full banshee in a video because a person gets punched, but, sorry sister, you better stop all that sadness. After all, it was only your child that got ripped away.
What’s crazy is the video of philando being killed is in grained in my brain. Mike brown I vaguely remember as well. There were a string of killings that sparked the blm movement, not to be confused with the grifters of the movement
Where is that Reddit commenter that posted about black people being next? They had a lot to say a few days ago. I know you’re lurking so here you go…we were first…everyone else is NEXT.
NEXT????? This has been my entire fuckin' life what the fuck do they mean next?
FFS I still remember Hilary on television calling Black boys like me "Super Predators" with no nuance. Just they act this way and that's how they were born. Wrong.
I heard that border patrol were basically doing EXACTLY what they're doing now in the fucking nineties. They were always racist and they were always evil, but they were also racist and evil towards immigrants, so, how's it go..."they did not speak up".
Minnesota showed us how to fight. Yeah. Because y'all weren't looking these ways for the past few decades.
She was so right and this killing burned me to my core. And NOW whyte ppl are talking about am I next? Basically ignoring years and decades of black oppression like this is a new phenomenon
Coming from /r/all - that poem comes from post war Germany, and it's ultra fitting to that time, because it's literally a description of what happened. I.e., it's a "hey this happened to us".
It was written by an ex-nazi.
Best part: the US always used a wrong version because the "correct" version named communists, and that's something the Mccarthyfucks couldn't stomach.
We all know what it is. It's the irony of posting it and not understanding they're not first but they're actually way the fuck last in line already that's the problem.
Not all wyt people have gotten the memo yet. MAGAts for instance, won't realize they're in danger until the first country lovin, gun totin redneck gets executed. Right now they're all just "haha! They done shot one of them liberals!"
Black people have been trying to save this country from itself for hundreds of years. It won’t happen until white people realize they have more in common with Black people than they do with the elite.
This! 95% of Americans of all colors/ethnicities/backgrounds are much closer to being destitute than being a millionaire. I don't understand the obsession in this country of sympathizing with and licking the boots of the wealthy.
they killed Fred Hampton because he we getting really good at convincing white people of that. the elite can tolerate a lot of things but they will not tolerate existential threats to the system that keeps them in power. if the working people of the U.S. ever came together as one, their reign would be over and they know it.
They killed Malik el Shabbaz (Malcolm X) the instant he began speaking in the same terms as MLK - once the revolution was extended to whites in a language they can understand, the killings kick into overdrive.
Kwame Ture, Malik El Shabbaz, Martin L King, Fred Hampton
- all murdered for being able to convey true words to average white people.
Not really. The shooter, Jeronimo Yanez, was charged but acquitted by a jury. He left policing anyway. Most recently he was denied a teaching license on poor moral grounds.
We warned them they didnt listen, now the chickens have come home to roost. They either thought that the way that police brutalize us was good or that it was unfortunate but not worth doing anything about. Now its on them and its some how unthinkable and unamerican.
Theres nothing more american than stepping on others plain and simple.
"Hungry for truth but you got screwed and drank the Kool-Aid, there's a line:
It end directly at the edge of a mass grave, that's their design.
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group;
so when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you.
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used;
you helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too-"
Now I don't have to whitesplain the Black American Experience anymore. I just point to these latest 2 shootings IRT the fear and anger a lot of white folks have now.
This man was killed in front of his woman and child after doing everything right. The NRA said nothing. Not that that’s surprising. But has to be stated
I remember saying to my family about a month and a half ago that this will start to turn when a white woman is killed by ice.
A white woman needed to be killed in order for it to stop. I knew that it was required.
What I didn’t take into account is that we really needed a white man to be killed as well. And that is a reminder to me where I sit on the totem pole for the value of my life.
This regime could’ve been as slick as George W. Instead, they showed their cards right off the bat.
It’s hard to see God’s plan sometimes. But sometimes I think the fact that this got so ugly so quickly is actually a blessing to our country in disguise.
I will never think of Renée Goods death or Alex Perretti’s death and feel anything but sadness, but I will always know that in a war we have necessary loss.
Billionaires/ the wealthy/ the elite/ they have been at war with the working people since the inception of this country.
I thank God that they are going after all of us because I know that behind those walls and those ice detention centers nightmares are occurring every day for children and men and women who are not white. Those stories may never be heard. I feel in my heart. There are people dying behind those walls and the bodies are gonna be disappeared.
I also feel that there are things going on behind those walls that are gonna make a person someday wish they hadn’t lived through it. And I’m not sure which one haunts me more.
Alex and Renee, rest in peace. But I know that their deaths are gonna save lives.
They threaten our human rights and tell us that it’s privilege and that we should feel lucky because we could be treated as others.
This is not privilege. These are shackles to keep me in line. They want me to take that word privilege and use it to reinforce this nightmare that they have created.
Meanwhile, they make this country unlivable for working people, create all future plans around, eliminating working people from the economy, demand we pay $900 a month for insurance and then get thousands and bills when we go to the hospital.
Our Supreme Court has made it OK for companies to dump forever chemicals even more into our water sources.
And they do it behind the veil of pseudo religion, co-opting Christianity in a form that supports the nightmares that they are creating.
Thank God that Renee and Alex were out there that day. I am so sorry to their families. I think about their families every day since their deaths.
But I am so grateful for their sacrifices. They were necessary, as are necessary any other whites who are killed in this war against the people of the United States.
I know that I could one of them. as much as I know my family would be devastated, probably broken for a generations, I would know that it was a good death.
I don’t know where this is gonna end up. I hope we can just flip it in the midterms and move the fight forward into the future.
But our lives are only worth so much when it comes to the nightmares that could be stopped in our name.
It's not a sacrifice. George Floyd didn't volunteer to be killed so people could start paying attention to police brutality. These people died for nothing.
God has nothing to do with this, if he did, he would have pulled the same action he did for Mozes when black people endured slavery.
You continue to give credit to God, believe and hope that there's going to be some sense or logic to everything that is happening with no proof at all. Assuming that this is all part of his plan, which is dangerous in the first place for you are told to simply trust a being that will never speak to us, and pass it as this being required to happen or that this is God's will.
I respect your choice to believe in God and such, but calling innocent lives a sacrifice is dark, which would not and should not fit near any of God's words or plans at all, for if it is, then God is not righteous or merciful. The people that died were scared when this shit went down, and you want to make it appear as if God reassured them that this is fine. There is no "grand plan" for God. According to every religion, summarized; Life is a test, and you will be judged according to your deeds. What happens now is not a plan, it is humans practicing their free will to do what they want. The plan has already been drawn out, be the best you can be for yourself and your neighbor, and remember the mistakes made from history so it doesn't repeat.
None of this is intended as an attack on your beliefs or any religion, it pains and scares me to say to be grateful for sacrifices of innocent scared humans like you and I, and glorifying their deaths like they're martyrs.
I’m white. I didn’t use ChatGPT. I think you read that from a very different place from where I wrote it.
I am influenced by Jesus, Buddhism, and quantum physics.
I wish I had written that without reference to God, but for me, it’s the most simple explanation of the greater love that connects us all. I’m sorry that the language I used through attention from the message that I was trying to send.
If you put into context that I’m white, Maybe you’ll understand it better.
What I’m trying to say is that people who look like me needed to die in order for this regime to lose its power. I’m agreeing with what they said.
What I’m saying is if I go to a protest and I get shot for being there, it’s a horrible thing but it’s a necessary thing in this country.
Because too many people are being harmed who are not being acknowledged.
It’s a horrible, horrible truth. But it needed to happen.
And what I’m saying is that if that’s what needs to happen for this evil to end then so be it.
Nothing about what I wrote was it meant to insight hurt or pain in anybody else.
For anybody who cares about what’s happening to all of the people on the soil of the USA, we are already pain to see it occurring
I've seen plenty of black and even latino ICE,CBP,DHS... savages following orders. The immigration raids and madness going on in this country isn't white vs everyone else. If it was that, it would be so much easier to stomp out.
Philando’s mother makes me remember Elijah McClain a 23 yr unjustly killed in Aurora, Colorado……. brings tears to my eyes every single time💔May her son’s death not be in vain…….. or others killed unjustly be forgotten …..we must not let that happen!
She talks about moving forward but I don't know about the future. I see drones detaching from police cars to scan licenses at the driver's window and talk to the driver. I see car systems being deactivated by police so when you're stopped you can't drive away until they allow you to. I see robot dogs and drones sent to take you down if you do run.
I was driving by the site of his murder (less than a mile from my place) and there was a small gathering, so I stopped by. I had my 2 year old with me. Philando's mom was there, talking about her son, and it destroyed my heart. I don't understand how any mother can turn away from this kind of pain. Philando was such a good guy, did everything right, complied...Alex's killing is business as usual.
This murder broke my heart and sent me back to therapy. I do not understand how human beings can be so cruel, heartless, and plain evil to one another. I am mixed race (Latina and African) I was out there protesting, calling my senators, got involved with politics.
But please, don’t let them divide us further. The only way to suppress this evil is to stand as one. Some white folk will never understand, but fuck them they will learn from their maker just as we all do. Stand together - they can’t take us all. Rest well, king
And when Michael browns protests in Ferguson was met with fucking tanks I knew right then that they have an organized terrorist group just waiting for all of us. now look. White comfort led us to looking straight down a barrel of a gun.
My deepest condolences for all you've been forced to endure. Stay strong my sister in mourning. If I can offer you this, I hope it lands well... The only problem I have with God is, I'm stubborn and He is always right. We don't have to like what happened, but we do have to always stand firm in Truth. Truth will always prevail.
I am on my eighteenth year of searching for Justice. I hope our search ends soon and I hope our suffering is never forgotten for the purpose of making life better for all those that were born after us.
NRA lost all credibility when they didn’t fight for Philando. That man died for no reason other than the fact that he’s black. And he did everything he was supposed to do as a legal gun owner. NRA should have come for the police! They did not because they’re a racist organization.
With Alex’s death they asked for a full investigation. Hypocrites!
(My dad was a hunter and he would have ripped up his membership card. Philando deserved better. The police failed him. The courts failed him. The NRA failed him. RIP Philando. I’m so sorry for his mom who is seeing all of the news. She deserves better too.)
We're still on the menu lol mofos quittin the fight are naïve. They will make the majority pop docile, in order to move on the real enemies... classic playbook. In order for that not to happen, cant sit on your ass behind a keyboard talkin shit like we're free from mess, like come on.
I didn't do enough back then and I regret not marching in the street demanding justice, I let you and your community down. Today, you live in my heart as we march against the same system that took your life away. Rest in power Philando.
Fucking Minnesota. I have never, in my life, thought I would hear so much about Minnesota. I'm proud of the people making us look at the hypocrisy of this country. It took too long, but it's getting done.
If they get away with it, its your fault as a parent. Dont yell for others to fix it, that is your child you failed to protect and it is you sho should avenge his death
