@AttorneyCrump There is a vast disparity between the way Black and white people are policed in America. Past conditioning from the segregation era has hardwired militarized policing towards blacks. We must overcome this stigmatization @TPstudios@tylerperry@AttorneyGriggs@BET
@AttorneyGriggs@DerrickNAACP The recent Supreme Court decisions reveal a trend where the conservative majority seems to be undermining civil rights protections while catering to the "white pushback" movement. It's important for us to recognize these efforts and address them openly.

The far-right agenda and its associated policy changes are aimed at restricting the political participation of Black individuals and other marginalized groups, which will likely lead to a notable decline in both census participation and voter engagement. These policy initiatives will adversely affect Black communities and other communities of color, jeopardizing efforts to secure an accurate census count and diminishing the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) ability to uphold voting rights. It is imperative that we raise our voices and resist regressive ideologies that seek to revert us to a system dominated by white elites. @BerniceKing@lmauricecpr@AttorneyGriggs@KyrieIrving@NAACP
The connections between Rick Chow's fatal shooting of Cyrus Carmack-Belton and the tragic murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till reveal an ongoing systemic issue surrounding the policing of Black individuals by civilians.
In both instances, a Black teenager was targeted based on an accusation that spiraled out of control. Emmett Till lost his life in 1955 after Carolyn Bryant made a false allegation about unwanted advances. In a similar vein, Cyrus Carmack-Belton was pursued and shot because store owners mistakenly believed he had stolen four bottles of water, which surveillance footage later showed he had returned to the cooler.
Historical civil rights cases, like the all-white jury acquittals of Till's murderers, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, reveal a devastating trend in America. Non-Black individuals who take the lives of Black Americans often escape accountability within the justice system. The Richland County jury's not guilty verdict for Rick Chow echoes this distressing history, prompting advocates to feel that the lives of Black youth continue to be undervalued and insufficiently protected by the courts.

@Phil_Lewis_ Of course, they deny racism, they deny slavery, they deny Jim Crow, they deny police brutality, as it suits them to continue in the status quo. This does not surprise me as we now have a white nationalist pushback. @AttorneyGriggs@TPstudios@KyrieIrving@NAACP@lmauricecpr
Senator Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign in 1964 was a pivotal moment in the development of modern conservatism. By opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and advocating for the "Southern Strategy," Goldwater's campaign initiated a significant political realignment. This realignment shifted white, socially conservative voters in the Deep South from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. The approach established a combination of anti-establishment populism, conservative economic principles, and cultural concerns. Fast forward decades later, and this voter base laid the groundwork for the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement, reflecting a reactionary stance against the federal government and the expanding civil rights protections that emerged in the 1960s.
