When will black America get serious about these people playing in your faces?

En Estados Unidos se están enfrentando a un problema que dice mucho de su sistema.

Miles de jóvenes, especialmente de barrios pobres, se están organizando en masa para “invadir” espacios públicos de la capital en lo que las autoridades llaman “teen takeovers”, como si reunirse en la calle fuera un delito.

Y para el capitalismo americano, básicamente lo es. Washington D.C. vive bajo un toque de queda juvenil constante: actualmente es ilegal que grupos de más de 8 menores se reúnan en determinadas zonas a partir de las 8 de la tarde.

¿El origen del problema? Décadas de abandono institucional, privatización del espacio público y ausencia de ocio asequible en los barrios más pobres de la ciudad.

El capitalismo ha construido estadios de béisbol de 900 millones de dólares en Navy Yard, pero no ha sido capaz de darle a sus jóvenes un parque donde estar sin que los detengan.

¿Y cuál es la respuesta de esos jóvenes? Ir en masa, durante un corto periodo de tiempo, a generar disturbios en las zonas más ricas de la ciudad.

Armed masked man starts fight at high school ICE protest—turns out to be off duty police sergeant.

His plan was to trick students to "assault me"—then "arrest them all."

Then called his buddies with rifles to "back him up."

Sgt. Dusten Mullen makes $336,000 a year—making him a top 10 earner in the Phoenix Police Department.

He is currently on administrative leave—which means he's reassigned to work from home.

Incident occurred outside Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona.

Sammy Davis Jr. on why Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were assasinated.

They didn't "confuse" shit. The pigs are duty-bound to intimidate, tortured, brutalize, kill Black people.

The first person ever executed for treason in the “United States” was put to death for freeing enslaved people. Let that sink in.

This is how Western powers blackmail African nations into stealing their resources. The US told Zambia to give them their copper and Cobalt, or they won't sell them HIV medication any longer.

A massive $10 billion lawsuit in the Kendrick Johnson death case is expanding to include the judges, the court, and basically the whole justice system.

It only takes 3 generations to wipe out a Black person. It's no mistake that they keep pushing interracial love in movies, TV shows, and films. A mixed person is statistically more likely to mate with a white person, producing a white child.

Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 and soon after, Enslaved people were escaping to Mexico. The U.S. tried to get Mexico to sign a fugitive slave treaty to return escapees but Mexico refused to sign such a treaty, insisting that enslaved people were free once they set foot on Mexican soil.

Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico?

Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico.

To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery.

Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento.

Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

Some people definitely should not be cops.

The family of a 45-year-old man who was shot and killed by Los Angeles officers is demanding answers and releasing a video which they say contradicts what police say lead up to the deadly encounter.

Grief-stricken loved ones of Elias Real released cellphone video that they say captured the moment two LAPD officers opened fire as his back was turned and he appeared to be walking away. https://t.co/KKBP3XQerp

Real estate agent mom says she was detained after police claimed her vehicle ‘matched the description’ in a robbery. She says it was the opposite—the details didn’t even line up. Different vehicle type, different race, different gender. 👀😳
