Photo – It only took 4 years for them to get us to go from this to rallying for new black faces in high places. Actually less when you think about all the new black faces that were supposed to be game changers from Ferguson’s new black police chief to protester/activists turned elected leaders. There’s been a lot of stunting, a lot of grandstanding, a lot of misleading/deceiving and chastising the masses but no substantive change, or even anything that puts us on the road to change. Not in Ferguson. Not on St. Louis. Not in the region.

Previous Post Meanwhile, we’re still out here getting murdered by police, our necks slit and shot up by white supremacists. Deray, BLM/M4BL? Not one cent they raised off black deaths, pain and suffering has been put towards lobbying against police violence and murders for Black people or to overhaul the justice system that continues to traumatize and destroy Black families.<br><br>Not one ‘change’ candidate or protester/activist turned elected leader has advocated for either.

Next Post No change from Ferguson’s new black police chief or historically black new city council. Not the new black state rep or Democratic committeeperson, as a matter of fact while many were busy cheering their personal victories, Republicans were using that moment to take advantage of their inexperience and lack of political savvy to decrease minimum wage by over $2. No change from St. Louis’ new black protester turned alderman, in one year the Democratic establishment maching had him voting to tax poor black residents to fund the very police we were protesting.
