NICK!!! Welcome to the “Blogosphere” my brother! lol. This situation? Man.. I can’t call it!!
To be honest I can’t even watch (another one)… It’s like it’s open season on the Black Man lately?? O’bama got them shook?? Smdh… This is worse than just a case of racial brutality… This is str8t criminal!! There’s brothers out there tho that are making some noise (like yourself and 2K) by using their media outlets to bring attention to such issues… One brother I really respect is this kat “Micheal Baisden.” He has been doing big things on NYC radio station 98.7 Kiss FM 2p-6p by having daily radio discussions about important issues that affect our community! I have a lot of love and respect for this brother.. He keeps it really REAL! He orgainzed a bus rally for the Jena 6.. And he also has a fund for brothers and sisters who are victims of legal injustice in the courts system who can’t afford “Proper” representation.. He is doing BIG things!! Ppl can respond to these incidents in one of two ways… 1. Malcome X “By Any Means Nec.” philosophy! lol. 2. Dr. Martin Luther King solution of non violent resistance and protest. There is also a 3rd solution that most ppl give lil’ thought too! Esp. those commiting these crimes! The fact is that EVERYONE has to answer to SOMEONE and we all have to answer to GOD some day for the life we lived… May God show as much mercy to those who commit such atrocities as they have shown to their victims… To us. There is a God and he is NOT sleeping (or slipping)!!! In the meantime.. Check out Micheal’s website’s… I think you will find him a welcome change to the game..

NICK!!! What’s good in the socially conscienous hood?? LOL! I’m sorry I am gonna have to come back to this or something.. 1. I tried to post to this 3 (long ass) times!!! And each time my post isn’t showing nor did I bother to copy and paste my “Doctorial Dissertation” on the BS!! Which is our “Justice” system… 2. I can’t watch (another one)… I can’t take it..
It’s a damn shame too bc I had a lot of good shit to say… Smh.. I’ll holla back lata tho.
Much love for the social conscienousness N.V!

Ok I think? I know what happened? :/ I tried to post a “Link” in my comment on where brothers are coming together and organizing to do something about these (recurring) incidents.. Smdh. So maybe the site deleted/rejected my post bc of that? IDK.. I’ll regroup and hit you back..
P.
*No words N.V? Me either.. I can’t call it.. (What I REALLY want to.. What it really is!) How do we react? MLK VS. Malcome X?
:/

This is crazy! In 2007 it’s still shit like this going on, In NYC (yes the city) alone Nooses are hanging on people’s doors, Symbols of hate everywhere… and that’s just what the media covers… What about the racism in institutions of education and health… I can go on for days
I don’t share this with everyone… Only those whom I feel truly appreciate depth of information. These are some of the positive and powerful black males that have influenced me and my family in my upbringing… Enjoy!
**Dr. Ben Jefferies is my personal favorite.
My mom and I used to go to his lectures on 145st in Sugar Hill back in the days… They don’t make them like these anymore.

Let me clarify… My previous post was not nec. to solicite the purchase of these Legendary brothers lecture cd’s.. *Although I think they are certainly worth it!* However, my purpose was to introduce those of us who may not be familar with lectures and activists beyond Malcome X and MLK. You can google each of there names and get more biographical information about them.. Again, here’s what I found on one of my favorites..
Dr. Leonard Jefferies. (Correction not Dr. Ben as I stated above although he is also a personal favorite.)

*Infact all of them seem to have a link to further information about them at www.africawithin.com check it out.

ive recently also seen another video similar to this, but it happened to be a white boy gettin arrested… and he got tasered and tackled buy 5 police.
It would be bias of me to say the cop was in the wrong, and that was very racist and uncaused for… but in reality black,white,chinese, asian…she kept resisting arrest. He could have called for back up.or coulda have done maany other things.
And i dont know how the cops r in New York, they r horrble down here too… but what i do lern from these videos is to not resist arrest, and try to obey the simple laws. like curfew
