white folks have been killing us for decades and haven’t let up.
it’s like,
i’m getting tired of reading and fonting these stories.
over the weekend,
Like,
I don’t know what in the entire fuck is going on anymore
the hunter hyena who killed this beautiful young vixen ended up resigning…
A white police officer who shot and killed a 28-year-old black woman in her Texas home as she played video games with her nephew resigned Monday amid calls from the woman’s family for him to be fired and criminally charged.
Speaking at a news conference Monday, Fort Worth police chief Edwin Kraus said he intended to fire the officer Monday for violations of the department’s use of force and de-escalation policies. Instead, he said the officer, who he identified as Aaron Dean, gave his resignation. Kraus said dual investigations were underway to determine policy violations and possible criminal charges.
He also said the case has been presented to the FBI to determine whether a federal investigation over possible civil rights violations is warranted. Kraus apologized for the woman’s death and said he has not been able to make sense of why Jefferson had to lose her life.
this is the press conference from the mayor and the police chief of fort worth:
…but according to an update via “the washington post“:
Jamari, I just sent you an email with the subject “LEADERSHIP BEGINS AT HOME (Beyond Mike Brown and Ferguson, Missouri)”. Please read it and reply with your suggested solutions to the problems that plague African Americans–if you want to get started on solving the problems that plague African Americans.
“If we are strong, we prosper. If we are weak, we die.” “If a people expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.” “If you do what you have always done, you’ll get what you have always gotten.” “Reading can seriously damage your ignorance.” “There is not much you can do for yourself if you refuse to read. There is not much we can do for you if you refuse to read. There is not much I can do for you if you refuse to read.” “A person who does not read is not better off than a person who cannot read.” “Up to about the fourth grade, we learn to read. After then we read to learn.” “If you don’t want to read, then you don’t want to learn.” “Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.” “You must get good at one of two things. Planting in the Spring or begging in the Fall.” “The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” “If you have something worth fighting for, then fight for it.” “You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.” “Progress is built. So to make progress, we must be more interested in laying bricks than in throwing them.”
^dean,
i read the email and he was great.
you know who you should connect with that would help you achieve these goals?
deray mckesson

if not,
we can brain storm in others who have taken on the role as activist that you can speak to!
If we choose to do these three things, we can get up from slavery and Jim Crow. If we choose not to do these three thing, then we choose continued failure in the same ways that a student chooses to get an “F” in class for failure in class when he chooses not to attend class, chooses not to read the reading assignments, chooses not to do the homework and chooses not to study for the exams. And when you choose to lose, you shouldn’t be surprised that you get what you chose.
It’s the same thing with us. To get up from slavery and Jim Crow, we must choose to 1. REASON TOGETHER, we must choose to 2. COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY TOGETHER and we must choose to 3. WORK TOGETHER.
We’re asking many black people and many African Americans for their suggested solutions to the problems that plague African Americans and we’re weaving them into a plan and then we’re implementing the plan to solve the problems—not talk and talk and talk about the problems, not point fingers and not doing stupid things. And of course all of what I mentioned just now are stupid things.
It is said that if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. We’re failing big time. Therefore, job 1 is to develop a good plan, an excellent plan, a brilliant plan to solve the problems and job 2 is to implement that plan.
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING.
We can get up from slavery and Jim Crow, which means solving our problems, which means having much more satisfying lives, much longer lives and much more prosperous lives for our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. ALL OF THOSE ARE THE SAME THING! BUT IT’S A CHOICE—YOUR CHOICE.
In the meantime, please read the definition of Psychonegrosis found here: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Psychonegrosis
Psychonegrosis is the greatest problem that plagues African Americans and it is essentially what we call psychological weakness and dysfunction.
Yes, Psychonegrosis (psychological weakness and dysfunction) is the largest problems faced by black / African people at home and abroad. In fact, it is likely Psychonegrosis to deny the existence of Psychonegrosis. Don’t believe me? Listen to the African Union’s ambassador to the United States, starting at about 10:45 and 18:00 here: https://youtu.be/gz-c8y0LhKA
Jamari, you wrote, “How many more black people do they need to kill before they make some changes?”. My question to you and your black readers is: How many more black people do they need to kill before you make some changes? Jamari, as you know, I have emailed you more than once about steps that you can take to solve the problems that plague African Americans, but you have repeatedly refused to do your part! If you choose to lose you shouldn’t be surprised that you lose.
This is the sequel to Amber Guyger, renamed Fort Worth since it’s next to Dallas. I just wonder when this shit is gonna end. When?
What can we do?
Pray?
Mobilize and form a militia?
Protest?
I honestly want to know.
I feel so powerless.
We are thought of as an ant crushed under a foot. They come up with excuses about why we don’t deserve to breathe. Can you imagine this is life? Where you’re killed and they explain away your death as if you’re not dead???? What is the point of trials when the facts say someone is dead?
As I read this I’m reminded that dat Amber Gal, whateva she name..also shot the man inside his home, no confrontation, no real reason why she had to shoot the man. Now this, the woman in her house, minding her business, babysitting her nephew, and here come this effing SOB and murder the lady in front of her 8 year old nephew. My heart bleeds for this woman, and the psychological trauma that SOB inflicted on that child.. I read that recently, I believe, a 15 year old was riding a bike without I believe lights, a cop shot him twice in the head.. Those SOBs..let them Keep on, they will reap what they sow.. Karma is all over them. I’m soo angry, the more I think about this.
^OMG WHAT?????
i hate everything
