This is the woman who was assaulted by Jeff Rooda. This is her injury from the president of the police association.

might as well have not posted that image... I thought it was more serious til i saw that baby scratch
 
That actually underlines one of the biggest issues facing blacks today. One black person does not represent how all blacks think. 
 
I saw that Kanye story, that particular headline is sensationalized and flipped around. The truth is that the designer made this line, then retroactively used an alleged Kanye cosign to explain his white supremacist behavior once people challenged him.

He and Kanye collaborated before and so he used the 'but I have a black friend!" excuse.

Thankfully, the backlash has been so strong that Timberland boots canceled their involvement so the line will never be sold. They made the guy apologize as well.

I also want to bring up the recent interviews of Marshawn Lynch for the Super Bowl.  He's getting a lot of heat from people in the media who seem to be infuriated that they can't make a black man answer their questions directly.  His interviews have recently been exposing a lot of SWS in the media, and it's been pretty fascinating to watch this situation unfold.

The whole interview is worth listening to, but at 3:35 he says 'shoutout to my real Africans out there.'  This is what I think really has the media upset because it shows solidarity among us, and they don't want that to spread.  Just my $.02 but look at the two football analysts' faces after the interview (5:13), they're clearly perturbed.

Here's the video:

Yup, they get pissed and tell Richard Sherman he talks too much, and to "shut up and play ball", and then when Marshawn wants to "shut up and play ball", they fine him for not talking. Lol White Supremacy throws logic at the window, its so sick and disturbing all you can do is laugh.

dude the questions they ask are dumb. He knows they're dumb and the interviewers ask him these dumb questions because they think hes dumb when hes really not. So what better way to get back at ppl who think your dumb, then by making them look dumb.

I like this.

Thats a little extreme.........
 
As long as Black people put all their hopes and dreams into Capitalism, which is inherently anti-human, they will always be doomed.

What alternative would you suggest?  No disrespect, but when I hear people say this it's rarely with a solution for what would come after Capitalism.

Capitalism isnt the problem, white supremacy is. Blacks are disadvantaged from the beginning in the race making it where you cant even compete in a capitalistic market.

Capitalism would work if that's what economically was being practiced. We are dealing with neo colonialism. We still deal with racism because it was designed into the system. Racism is systematic. Only way to combat that is with a systematic approach.
