This is one massive reality check, folks.

Watch.

This.

YES WATCH THIS!

It’s only a few minutes long, but holy shit is it terrifying.

And yet, it’s not even surprising. It’s exactly what you would expect.

This is really old, but it’s making the rounds again. So, I’m reblogging.

But honestly, who is this made for? 

Black people know this already. Brown people know this already. These are facts of reality.

This is clearly for White people… and I’m so tired of trying to prove to White people what’s around them everyday. I really am. We got a damn mountain of evidence…. statistics, stories, everything you can possibly have and yet here we are, still trying to prove how White people make our lives living hell while how many Black and Brown people are in jail???? 

I’m just over it. 

I totally feel where other bloggers come from when they say they don’t feel the need to teach White people anything. I’m gonna have to start doing that… ‘cause it just feels like an unwinable battle. 

It’s like we can’t move the conversation along to the next step ‘cause the majority of White people absolutely refuse to see what happens around them everyday. 

They definitely do this. That’s why it’s damn near impossible to talk to white people about racism, b/c even with facts presented to them they will deny it. The other day there was an article online clearly showing that while whites do the same amount of drug (specifically marijuana) Black people are arrested more often. Inthe comments there were a whole slew of whites saying of course Black people must have been arrested in conjunction with some other crimes, we have lower IQs, we need to go back to Africa if we’re so upset. And these comments got hundreds of up votes, and these were only the first few comments, as I couldn’t bare to look anymore. 

Whites will continue to deny facts presented to them, because they need to believe they are superior to Black people, no matter how “not racist” they believe they are. Since birth, white people (and all ppl tbh) have been trained to believe they are the superior race, they have all “worked hard” for what they have, and racism is over. To them, it’s in the past, and the media, educational system, and general public back up this notion. So they are able to go along believing this even when presented with the truth b/c they don’t live it.

Angela Davis, Attorney Defend Assata Shakur Amid New FBI Efforts

One day after the FBI and the state of New Jersey announced that former Black Panther Assata Shakur had become the first woman on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List, Angela Davis and Shakur’s longtime attorney Lennox Hinds went on Democracy Now in the exile’s defense. Like many of Shakur’s supporters in the U.S. and abroad, both Davis and Hinds questioned why the FBI has suddenly renewed its interest in the Shakur’s capture; currently, Shakur is 66-years-old and has been living in exile for over three decades.

Davis’ explanation:

Well, see, there’s always this slippage between what should be protected free speech—that is to say, the advocacy of revolution, the advocacy of radical change—and what the FBI represents as terrorism. You know, certainly, Assata continues to advocate radical transformation of this country, as many of us do. You know, I continue to say that we need revolutionary change. This is why it seems to me that the attack on her reflects the logic of terrorism, because it precisely is designed to frighten young people, especially today, who would be involved in the kind of radical activism that might lead to change.

And Hinds’:

Now, why today is Assata Shakur now being branded a terrorist? If we look at the definition of terrorism, what is it? It is the use or the threat of use of force against a civilian population to achieve political ends. What happened in the case of Assata Shakur? You have heard, in her own words, this woman was a political activist. She was targeted by whom? J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI in a program that was called COINTELPRO. That program was unveiled by whom? Frank Church, Senator Frank Church, in the 1970s. He chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee. That committee determined that the FBI was using both legal, but mostly illegal, methods—to do what? In the FBI’s own words, they wanted to discredit, to stop the rise of a black messiah—that was the fear of the FBI—so that there would not be a Mau Mau, in their words, uprising in the United States.

You can see the entire interview and transcript over at Democracy Now.

At this point, one can only speculate about why the state has renewed its efforts to capture Shakur. But what’s clear is that they’re serious about it. In addition to offering a $2 million reward for her capture, the FBI has also put up billboards around New Jersey.

The man in the picture is Rachid Nekkaz, a French-Algerian businessman living in France.

He heard about the niqab ban in France. Then he announced that he will pay all fines for women who wear the niqab - not just in France but “in any country in the world that bans women from doing so”.

He opened a fund of € 1 million. Then he said, “My sister, go out free wherever you want and I will pay the fine for you”

Allahu Akbar, May Allah reward him.

this man is perfect mA

people will say how things are “in Africa” like it’s one big place that’s homogenous throughout

but god forbid you say “Britain” when you mean “England”

But when you’re referring to Britain you can also be referring to Scotland and…
