Don’t let your white friends get you in trouble.

You better say that.

i want to elaborate on this.

don’t buy from white dealers and don’t sell to white people.

don’t underage drink with white people.

don’t do anything that could be viewed as illegal by cops with white people and this isn’t me trying to be anti-white this is me telling you to protect yourself from anti-black cops. they won’t hesitate to pin the entire crime on you even if your white friend did 90% of the crime.

most (if not all) white people don’t understand the same crimes they commit (getting into a bar with a fake ID, stealing cigars, playing with toy guns in walmart) we are given a lengthy imprisonment or executed on the spot for.

so don’t put yourself in a situation that could get you killed and a white person a slap on the wrist.

And no one notices the casual racism in this “enlightened” post.  “

and don’t sell to white people.

“ inferring that black kids definitely are going to deal drugs.   (Slow clap).  That’s brilliant, Tumblr.  Way to perpetuate negative stereotypes as a normal and casual part of black childhood, while warning them of the evil of white people.  In the process of trying to act enlightened and pro-black you perpetuated an antiquated negative stereotype as normal and even expected of black childhood and look how many people shared this garbage.

@thenightling

the post is
talking about teenagers, not kids (kids aren’t going to be underage
drinking either) and some teenagers deal drugs. Some teenagers drink.
Some teenagers do dumb shit. Kids deserve not to die or be seriously hurt for doing dumb shit.

The people above you aren’t “trying to act enlightened and pro-black.” They were having an intracommunity conversation about how police will use violent force on Black teenagers (as has been demonstrated again and again and again) and are trying to help young kids not die. They’re not qualifying their statements to your liking because you are not their intended audience.

Attitude towards Police (US ONLY)

Hey I need to do this research paper and I really need the responses from my fellow American online folk to respond to this survey,

It’s about how the average online user’s attitude towards police. It is completely anonymous and you do not have to give me your email or personal information.

Please spread this around on social media and get others to answer this, thanks.

they was really doing this at the march for our lives why take something that was specifically made for black people getting shot by cops and make it about school shootings it doesn’t even make sense

This is disappointing but it’s not surprising Black civil right movements is always repackaged and reformulated into something palatable as a blueprint for other non-black protests and disruptions and it is always a wildly disrespectful

fromacomrade:

We’re very happy that a lot of groups like various IWW locals and socialist parties have stepped up to agitate and educate at March For Our Lives events, and we very much hope that that trend continues to grow, because JESUS CHRIST are these kids coming out with some bad takes.

Change privacy laws to allow mental healthcare providers to communicate with law enforcement

As seen in the tragedy at our school, poor communication between mental healthcare providers and law enforcement may have contributed to a disturbed person with murderous tendencies and intentions entering a school and gunning down 17 people in cold blood.

We must improve this channel of communication. To do so, privacy laws should be amended. That will allow us to prevent people who are a danger to themselves or to others from purchasing firearms. That could help prevent tragedies such as the Parkland massacre.

He still showed up ‘cause he knows he has to work twice as hard to be (considered) half as good. People need to realize this happens all of the time, every day, not just in the news. He’s lucky to be alive. I hope mom sues the crap out of them!

Please, help me raise awareness of the systematic racism. This must STOP.

This is for the white guy who asked me what privileges he has that Black folks don’t…here ya go jackass…
