afro-dominicano:

tell me how are black people supposed to quietly internalize this one? how do you peacefully, logically, rationally, calmly internalize an entire system where your forced to be taxed, improperly serviced, abused systemically, and told your life does’t matter enough to trial your killer literally because they’re white and you’re not. how do we continue servicing this system and allowing it to make decisions for us and represent us to the rest of the world?

For anyone wondering how many people that amounts to, the current US population is at 316 million people. So- rounded to the nearest whole number, cops shot 465 white teens & young adults vs. 9850 black teens & young adults in a 3 year period (2010-2012).

Police murdering black people is continued acts of genocide still being committed in the u.s. I have heard many white people say genocide is over in the u.s. and yet police officers are murdering innocent black people without getting in trouble for it. We know the definition of genocide, we know that it is not only murder but forced assimilation, relocation, the destruction of a culture, rape, and murder. And black people are still being murdered 28-31 times more than white people by the police and we aren’t calling this a genocide?

#EricGarner last words. This is hard to read, but it’s harder not to pay attention. Harder still to communicate on Instagram my feelings of anguish, anger, guilt, despair… And yet what comes through in the end is a powerful hope. A ferocious hope. I do not believe that an entire generation of people will remain apathetic and docile during these times. We are being shaken to our cores to WAKE the fuck UP. ❤️
