Daaaamn. Watch this 9-yr old student stand up and spit hot fire at a mass rally against the Chicago Mayor and Public School administration who are trying to close his and dozens of other schools in mostly non-white neighborhoods.

The future of social justice activism.

Crying. Black and brown children shouldn’t have to grow up so fast. This kid is absolutely amazing, but I wish we lived in a world where he could just play with his friends, hang out with his family or spend time worrying about if that girl down the street has a crush on him, instead of having to take on the responsibility of advocating for himself and other black, brown and low income childrens’ education. POC kids can never just be kids, man. 

Bolded that last sentence for the cot damn truth.

Judge Criticizes ‘High Error Rate’ of New York Police Stops

satanic2chainz:

Observing that only about 12 percent of police stops resulted in an arrest or summons, Judge Scheindlin, who is hearing the case without a jury, focused her remarks on Monday on the other 88 percent of stops, in which the police did not find evidence of criminality after a stop. She characterized that as “a high error rate” and remarked to a lawyer representing the city, “You reasonably suspect something and you’re wrong 90 percent of the time.”

“You reasonably suspect something and you’re wrong 90 percent of the time.”

“You reasonably suspect something and you’re wrong 90 percent of the time.”

“You reasonably suspect something and you’re wrong 90 percent of the time.”

You are allowed to drink when you’re 16.

You receive free education.

You receive economic support while studying.

You enjoy free hospitalization.

You’ll be correctly informed by objective news channels.

Also:

  1. Denmark has yet to outlaw racial profiling.
  2. Racial minorities in Denmark have a greater chance of being arrested without being convicted of a crime.
  3. Denmark refuses to acknowledge the existence of a Roma minority in Denmark, and refuses to offer them any legal protection against discrimination.
  4. POC in Denmark are much more likely to be victims of hate crimes, compared to ethnic Danes.
  5. In order to marry an ethnic Dane as a foreign national, you have to be at least 24 years old, never have received any social benefits, show proof of financial independence and pay a deposit of ~£5200.
  6. Hostels for homeless people are forbidden by law to accept foreign born guests who cannot show proof of permanent residency in the country.

That awkward moment when white folk think that some of the most blatantly racist countries are paradise because those countries are utopia for progressive/liberal racists.

I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need. Because this is the situation, you and I have to preserve the right to do what is necessary to bring an end to that situation, and it doesn’t mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don’t even call it violence when it’s self-defense, I call it intelligence.
