NEVER FORGET KENDRICK JOHNSON, the 17-year-old Lowndes High School student was found dead on January 11, 2013, head-first inside a vertically rolled-up gym mat.
Authorities ruled it an accidental death by positional asphyxia.
No one was ever charged.
“Officers are having sexual relations with detainees”
No. Detainees are being raped and it’s not like a little bit of rape, it’s a lot of rape ,and women and children are missing.
Our boys are being lynched. Our girls are being abducted. The Black vote is being suppressed. Black government workers are being fired from their jobs. Black women are dying during childbirth at high rates. We are losing acccess to clean drinking water, fresh produce and clean air. Yet, you all sit on the internet judging people over bonnets and durags to "prepare the youth" for a world that is LITERALLY ending. Wake tf up!
I might be reading a little too much into this, but there’s a funny pattern I’ve noticed with the avatar cycle thus far.
🌍Earth Avatars often inherit broken worlds. Kyoshi had to clean up the chaos Kuruk left behind after years of fighting spirits, and now Pavi appears to be facing the aftermath of Korra’s era and the Seven Havens crisis. Even their personal struggles mirror each other, with Kyoshi relying on her fans early on and Pavi depending on her prosthetic leg.
🔥 Fire Avatars tend to build stability, but their achievements rarely survive them. Szeto united the Fire Nation through politics, yet everything unraveled after his death. Roku kept Sozin’s ambitions in check, but once he died, the Hundred Year War became inevitable.
🌪️ Air Avatars inherit political disasters from Fire Avatars and end up becoming legendary figures. Yangchen spent her life navigating ruthless geopolitics and the Platinum Affair, while Aang restored balance after the Hundred Year War and reshaped the world with Republic City. Both left behind legacies that defined entire generations.
🌊Water Avatars arguably have the cruelest cycle. They inherit relatively stable worlds, but one unresolved problem snowballs into catastrophe. Kuruk sacrificed his life fighting dark spirits, leaving Kyoshi to fix a fractured Earth Kingdom. Korra inherited Aang’s modern world, only to face crisis after crisis, and after her death she’s remembered by many as the Avatar who ushered in an apocalypse, leaving Pavi to deal with the fallout.
If this pattern is intentional, the Avatar cycle hasn’t just been about mastering the four elements….it’s about inheriting the consequences of the last Avatar’s greatest failure.
So is this a coincidence.…or do you think the writers have been quietly following this pattern all along?
yall remember that black man that got hate crimed by the police while he was wearing his full blown army uniform? nigga fought for the country and still came home to be brutalized by the police. you think it would’ve been worse if he had a durag on?
DUH. Anyone with a brain who watched the show knows that Corbin and sincere were Kc dadas. He wanted to be them so bad but also being too much of a coward to compete against sincere
