The comments on that video pretty much show why America is the way it is and won't be changing anytime soon. The second racism ends in America is the second people realize people think and act for themselves and not as an spokesperson for their entire race. Although white people don't necessarily deal with that problem because we all go to and send our kids to school not inherently fearing that a white kid is going to shoot up the place.
she said that whatever you think it is, it's worse.
the police harrassment and insults is on another level. she grew up there and thought it was normal.
Dallas is by no means a utopia, but she said she was shocked at how cops just didn't give off the vibe that they were mad at her all time.
She said that it is protocol for cops to mess w/ people and give them tickets. the people just deal w/ it.
she also said ferguson aint really a hood like people say. she said it's a regular town w/ some poorer parts, but most of the city is just middle class people.
I also love how all the "stop looting" this is about the government people are completely ignoring how Fergusons community are being treated by the local government while trying to voice their opinions and spread voting.

You should know it's only called protesting as long as conservatives or Penn State students do it. Reminds me of the whole Occupy Wall st protests. The vast majority were peaceful but a few agitators were used as an excuse to shut the whole thing down.

[h2]9/8 BLACKOUT COVERAGE | WATCH VIDEO[/h2]
There were reports nationwide showing that #BlackOutMonday was a huge success. With momentum and energy, tens of thousands are gearing up to continue the BLACKOUT EACH AND EVERY FRIDAY. More information can be found at eachandeveryfriday.com. Almost 5,000 have joined the event in the last 24 hours, increasing the total committed to nearly 40,000. However, the actual number of participants reaches even further than that. Many who are participating have not officially joined. That’s what makes this movement so powerful. The protest doesn’t require the time needed to march through the streets. It’s all about choice in your daily routine.
People of African descent internationally, some Native Americans, as well as other people of color have also expressed support. The expansion of the movement, which began three weeks ago, is a result of a grass roots effort that continues to gain steam exponentially. The Twitter hashtag #eachandeveryfriday is being used to promote the ongoing event in an attempt to galvanize African-Americans to redirect their money with the hope of making things better for their communities. Below are a few of the comments from participants…

A few throughout social media have shared their views about the BLACKOUT economic protest and movement, but that has done little to stop the support.
Although it is true that every community doesn’t have Black Owned Businesses at every level, it’s only a matter of time. The cause for this is not that we are not capable. It is the hard work and innovation of blacks from the beginning of time that has fueled much of the world’s power and wealth. In America, we have owned and operated insurance companies, an automobile company whose cars rivaled the Model T Ford and vehicles from Kantana, a new automobile company in Ghana, go on sale in October of 2014. We still own a number of successful banks and we have the ingenuity and know-how to operate at every level. What has been missing is the support that we provided to each others businesses in ages past, such as the Black Wall Street districts. Keep it going #EachandEveryFriday! Change is destined to come.

Yall should know by now Youtube comments have been invaded over the years by stormfront and other white nationalist forums. They do the **** on reddit, youtube, news websites, any place where you can be anonymous and vote brigade to push their "blacks are the real oppressors" propaganda. I don't even scroll past the 'about box' when im on YT cause I already know what to expect.

Sad part is I used to think these people were the minority. Just Internet trolls. I thought 'normal' people were better than that. Then stuff like Ferguson happens and I see the same stuff on my Facebook. I see Darren Wilson raise half a mil. I see Fox News doing what they normally do. I realize these Internet trolls are the ones in power. Those guys are pretty much the majority in America. SMH.
