Yo who pulls a gun out of there pockets? Unless he had on some State Property jeans, how is this possible?
It's black magic my man. The police is defending itself against voodoo.

emphasis.At the same time though, I'm torn because I cannot blame them for taking advantage of their ability and opportunities. There is a reason why they are in charge and we are not. They created the weapons first or the means to transport. They got in control and have maintained it for centuries. I'm not mad at that. You get control and you keep control. It's logical. I'm more so just moved because the oppression comes at the cost of black people and other minorities. If it was business, the same rules would apply. I really just wish as a community, mentally, that we wouldn't have changed so much since the CRM. These new black folks are idiots. They idolize nonsense. And are oblivious to the world they live in. The 60s black man says, oh, I'm not welcome in yours? cool, I'll make my own. And keep to and police my own. The 60s black man wouldn't just roll over and tweet and talk. They would march and show you that we were here and not going anywhere. Not to mention the panther movement, and Malcolm's camp putting pressure on the police.
We have no leaders. No nina simone to sing the song of our struggle. No unity. And just underutilized anger.
When we were locked out and denied access, we were actually empowered to create and to grow. I'm sure the white people hated it, but one of the biggest killers to black innovation and development was them allowing us to take part in their stuff. Allowing us to come in their clubs and buy their booze and their food. Shop in their stores. Then we stopped creating our own. Stopped owning our own clubs and selling our own booze and food. Stopped creating and stopped owning which in turn stopped building our own wealth and power.
In the face of another spate of police involved homicides, discussions of radical and revolutionary approaches to change the way we live and govern in America are on the minds of a lot of citizens again today. While participating in a panel discussion at the All Black National Convention in his hometown of Atlanta, Ga., Killer Mike gave a moving description of what revolution means to him, and criticizes community leaders and elders for asking their young people to put themselves in danger if they aren’t willing to put themselves in the line.
In a passionate five-minute speech, he argues that until the black community becomes economically self-sufficient, that they are not yet ready for real revolution.
Mike goes on to get more detailed about what that revolution would look like to him. For those expecting violent rhetoric and an emphasis on confrontational interactions with the police, prepare to be disappointed:“You ain’t ready to oppose nothing. You are as a part of this system as any white person gentrifying in this city. And you can’t tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about. Because I’ve lived in this neighborhood long enough to know when two out of every five yards had a garden in the back. I’m old enough to know when the Muslim community was the strongest security force and food their own force in this community. Black people I love you, and I love you enough to tell you, you ain’t ready to revolt ****.”
Killer Mike has been a great ambassador for hip-hop for years speaking eloquently about serious issues that should concern all American citizens—particularly those in the black community—in his music and interviews for a long time now. He once again takes an unexpected approach to the problems that face this country, and he shares them in the unapologetic, fiery, manner that is his trademark.“You don’t feed yourself. You don’t hunt your own animals and slaughter them. You don’t prepare your own meat. You don’t own your own land. You don’t have a seed growing in your window. So you think about revolutionary-ism, and you think about fighting and dying in the street, you ain’t **** if you can’t feed your children, you ain’t nothing if you can’t teach your children to hunt. I’ve been hearing this revolutionary talk all my life. All my life, I’ve been seeing leaders get before me and tell me how much of a strong warrior…and just like the United States Army, just like the military, I’ve seen their words send black boys off to die in the street fighting and arguing with police.[…]Don’t send these babies off to die, because you didn’t die when you was 21. Don’t you send these babies off to die, because you feel like you missed the ‘60s and the ‘70s. I want to see more black attorneys. I want to see more black law enforcement. I want to see more black people pooling their money to run their own candidates.”
Black empowerment is the only answer to this ****.
We're so defeated mentally and economically that this won't end until we make Black Empowerment the new trend.
I guess people just aren't praying hard enough, that's why this oppression is happening /s
Who thinks like this? Biblethumpers gotta stop poisoning minds with these fairytales
Based on similar incidents in recent memory, it should be completely believable.I can't believe how many holes are in their story,
