I woke up pissed this morning and in the wrong frame of mind, but those pictures of all those kids have warmed my heart. All of them are so precious.
Granny, I’m beyond LIVID still after that verdict. The photos certainly do paint the TRUE REALITY of why these white men have lost their minds.
I was thinking that they need to make a commercial out of those pictures and pictures like them.

Marcus Smart: Black Athletic Revolt
By Eric Graham
Updated: February 16, 2014
Racism is not ended by being nice. Nice is an attitude. You could be nice to your slave. Racism is not an attitude; racism is about power.
NORTH CAROLINA-(BASN) – In the midst of Jordan Davis murder case, where a 47 year old white male named Michael Dunn fired shots into a car killing a Black teenager allegedly over loud music in Jacksonville, Florida in broad daylight at a gas station in November 2012., I find it quite odd, especially with the anniversary OF Trayvon Martin’s death approaching, which his murderer George Zimmerman walked away a free man and was scheduled to fight in a celebrity boxing match with DMX, which was cancelled, that we could even debate why Oklahoma State’s Michael Smart would be shoving a Texas Tech fan, who allegedly called him a “Nigger,” “told him to go by to Africa, or even called him a ”piece of crap,” which he was suspended for three games.

#DangerousBlackKids is about showing our humanity. Respectability has not saved us & will not save us. We’re all in this together.
10:09 AM – 16 Feb 2014
ALL.OF.THIS. And the more the ignorance and bigotry of RACISM tries to deny our HUMANITY, the more INHUMANE they BECOME.

Stand Your Ground isn’t about self-defense. It’s a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card to hunt and kill Black people.

Josh Israel: Florida County Eliminates Minority-Heavy Polling Places
On a party-line vote, a Florida county’s Republican majority Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to eliminate almost one-third of Manatee County’s voting sites. The board accepted a proposal by Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett (R) by a 6-1 vote to trim the number of precincts, despite unanimous public testimony against the move — and complaints by the lone Democratic Commissioner that it would eliminate half of the polling places in his heavily minority District 2.
Bennett, in his first term as elections supervisor, proposed reducing the number of Manatee County precincts from 99 to 69. In 2011, while serving in the Florida Senate, he endorsed making it hard to vote: “I wouldn’t have any problem making it harder. I would want them to vote as badly as I want to vote. I want the people of the state of Florida to want to vote as bad as that person in Africa who’s willing to walk 200 miles…This should not be easy.”

Margaret Morton: In My Eyes, Obamacare Literally Saved My Life
I’m so thankful for being able to tell my story—I’ve cashed in all my karma chips and then some, and I work every day to earn more back. In my eyes, Obamacare literally saved my life. In 2011, I knew something was wrong. And when my neck swelled to the size of my collarbone, I knew something was very, very wrong. They caught the top of my tumor: It was non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The cough I had was the result of my lungs being strangled.
Now, I was 22 when I started going to
doctor after doctor. In May 2011, I turned 23—the age that I would have had to go off my parents’ health insurance plan. But luckily that was the year the Obamacare provision allowing children to stay on their parents’ plan until 26 went into effect. I’m in remission now. October was my two year anniversary. Right around then, my mother told me: “Somepeople are one-issue voters. Well, my issue is that my daughter
wouldn’t be alive without Obamacare. The President saved her life.

SmartyPants: Jordan Davis And The Heritage Of Racism
Those who didn’t watch the trial might not know that Dunn’s testimony was that he had a verbal altercation with Jordan and “thought” he saw a weapon. In response, he started shooting. As the car Jordan was in tried to flee, Dunn got out of his car and continued shooting at it, narrowly missing killing the driver. It was this latter shooting that the jury agreed was attempted murder.
I join those who suggest that Dunn’s account of what happened between he and Jordan is simply not credible. Police found no gun in the car, no one but Dunn heard any threats from Jordan, Dunn fled the scene without calling the police and he didn’t say anything to his fiance about a gun over the next 24 hours as he tried to reassure her. But as I understand the law, the prosecutors had to prove – beyond a reasonable doubt – that Jordan did NOT have a gun. It is almost impossible to prove a negative. That, my friends, is the result of the odious and racist Stand Your Ground law

I want young black men to know: there is nothing wrong with you. You are worthy of protection. Of care. Of love and of life.

Yes!!!
Happy Birthday, Jordan.
I remember being 19. I was a freshman in college at Florida State University. Jordan wanted to join the military, and that is where he would be now, serving his country. Trayvon wanted a career in aviation and he would have been a freshman in college this year, perhaps at one of the state universities in southern Florida, close to home.
The loss is so great that it cannot even be measured, it can only be imagined.
God help us.
This must end.
It’s heart rending, Liza. The facts of HUMANIZING both Trayvon and Jordan don’t get air time or court ime. They are DEMONIZED instead. It’s MADDENING!
Yes, it IS maddening!

Happy Birthday Jordan.
Happy Birthday Jordan! RIP
Good Morning Everyone
Good Morning, Rikyrah & Everyone.
Happy Birthday, Jordan.
Sadly, you were born into a society that
Still required your parents to give you “the Talk.”
Still had too many people consider Black skin a crime.
Still had LE and private citizens stereotyping and profiling Blacks.
Still found store security following and keeping an eye on Blacks.
Still stopped and frisked Blacks.
Still handed down unequal justice for Blacks.
Still tried to suppress the vote of Blacks.
Still was full of hateful racists and White Supremacists.
Still discriminated against Blacks in the workplace.
Still had institutional racism present.
Still had some LE who treated Blacks brutally.
Still had Whites showing their fear of Blacks from clutching purses to complete avoidance.
Still had racist hatred directed at Blacks.
It is heartbreaking to know that in this atmosphere, you became one of the Black victims who have lost their lives.
May you rest in peace and be in His loving arms.

AMEN!
This consciousness STILL remains with some Americans in the 21st.
I am sending my caring support and am praying for Lucia McBath and Ronald Davis on this day….Jordan’s birthday.
Please study these articles that I posted somewhere else on February 11. (Don’t just think about Marissa Alexander…..think of the sentencing for Dunn.)
