Some suggest it’s as simple as ‘pressuring’ government… Pressuring government without building our own systems, empowering ourselves so we can bargain from a position of power is how we got here. You cannot pressure from a position they fund/control or from a position of begging.

Previous Post They are playing on the public’s desire for change. A diff variation of the same play that got Trump elected. They play on your desire to ‘win’, on black deaths, pain and suffering. They will promise change. They always promise change. Every black person ever elected talked about change. How do you think they got in office? And look at what happened. Assimilated into the very system they ran to change. That’s how it works. This is not to say change is impossible, but it won’t come from using the same failed strategies.

Next Post I don’t care how unpopular my posts this morning are or who has a problem with me for expressing these things. This is not what I took to the streets for… I don’t know what some of these protesters/activists stand for anymore… up is down, reactionary is revolutionary, sleep is woke, the same is disguised as change. The hijacking of Ferguson is now ‘coalition building’, a protester turned candidate was just endorsed by one of the hijackers, Shaun King… Protesters turned elected leaders invoke Mike Brown’s name in one breath, then cape for the reelection of Claire McCaskill who rallied the DOJ to end the investigation into the murder of Mike Brown in the next… this 2 days before the 4 year anniversary of the murder of Mike Brown. Well I guess this explains why none of them have called for an investigation into the murder of Darren Seals.
