stop saying shit like “oh no ones going to care about this since it’s not in america” or some variation of “since this isn’t about black people no one is going to care”
stop making people (esp black people) feel guilty for caring about ferguson and other black victims of state sponsored violence. this isn’t a contest — actual people are literally dying. stop being passive aggressive to guilt people into reblogging your post

y’all are we just not going to talk about this? this 20 year old was found murdered inside a car at the same apartment complex Mike Brown was killed in front of. he had been shot in the head & set on fire. he was the best friend of Dorian Johnson—the guy who was with Mike Brown when he was killed & key eyewitness. y’all think this is a coincidence? mainstream media has barely covered it; there’s almost no information; it’s unclear whether an investigation is actually even happening and if it is, what the fuck it’s revealing. y’all seen the reports going around of how many KKK members there probably are in the ferguson police department. this doesn’t sound outside their ballpark. we need to boost this, to draw attention to the strategic murder of this young man, and, god, demand some kind of safety measures be taken for not only the leading figures of the movement in ferguson but their loved ones as well—because apparently it’s fucking open season on black people here.
I read about this but when I did, the reports had just come in the details of the scene weren’t out yet. I had no idea about this other stuff but I’m glad someone is posting about it.

I designed and printed these to distribute when I was in NYC yesterday
Anyone, feel free to download this and distribute your own copies (especially at protests or demonstrations where many people will be walking by!) I added in the feeding America link because regardless of what people think about what’s going on in Ferguson, they should take the initiative to get involved in their own communities.
these can be distributed as full pages or cut out into individuals
you can click and drag it from tumblr or download it from my deviantart
Imagine if Black people went to other POC like “um, why are you posting about Mexico when Ferguson is going on?” “Why is everyone talking about Hong Kong and not Tamir Rice?” “Fuck Palestine, what about Darrien Hunt?” Y’all would fucking lynch us. But it’s okay for y’all.

Racial bias in America: from higher suspension rates in preschool, to disproportionate rates of capital punishment, to everything in between, structures of authority routinely allow anti-Black racial bias to color the “facts”, and warp the narrative. And frequently (whether unintentional or otherwise) the police and the media often work together to further criminalize innocent Black victims
1. Criminalizing Blackness in America
2. 14-year-old Tremaine McMillian attacked and choked by police, literally while holding a puppy…because McMillian made them “feel threatened” and gave them “dehumanizing stares”
3. Author and CNN contributor keithboykin: how the AP slandered Renisha McBride even in death
4. The Associated Press: when can skin color alone determine who is and who isn’t a looter? (hint: don’t be Black)
5. Lauren Davidson: Disturbing Study Proves That Cops View Black Children Differently
This implicit racial bias does not magically stop at innocuous events like the VMAs, or in »Hollywood. So far, it doesn’t ever turn off. There are two Americas and racial bias is as ubiquitous as the air we breathe
for the folks wondering how the bastard could have possibly thought 12 year old Tamir Rice was in his 20s when he gunned him down while playing outside a community center
