Yes, the gent in the pic is the one in the vid I posted in here that was out Monday night trying to bring calm & spoke to that reporter.
He's being groomed to be the next mayor & it seems like his time might come sooner given how poorly Rawlings-Blake has handled the situation so far.
Councilman Mosby, rep Cummings, councilman Stokes, & senator Pugh have been very visible in the streets this week.

They may seem trivial to you, but them old black folks fought for the rights of black folks today (what little they may have).
They went through a whole lot through today. We think we maybe struggling now but what they went thru was a lot worse in some regards.
Be a little more respectful & perhaps show a lil reverence...

bruh... Don't let them folks fool you...
People pretend like every old black person was on for the fight.
My great uncle put me on game... He said how a lot of old black people were straight scared of mlk and Malcolm because they were upsetting white folks.
It's understandable because white folks were killing people outright...
But still... The quickness on which some of the older people are too accept blatant ******** from white people should let you know...

Nah I don't like seeing older black folks crapped on. My father in law was an OG black panther here in Bmore & still active in the city today. My mother in law was a BMore city school teacher for 40 years & was one of the few really good teachers at a school in the cut on the west side. Do you know how tough it was to come up as a black teacher at the time? They have been among the older folks marching recently & getting the young folks to chill out. We were out cleaning up Tuesday morning which is more than what you arm chair QBs have done. It's laughable to see some of these opinions though from people that have never ever stepped out to help their communities. I have 14 years of experience helping in my city. Can any of you come even a quarter of that? I'm talking working 15, 20 hours above my the full time job that I had so spare me the oh my grandfather told me ish... Seriously...

bruh...
This ain't even an that type of party, famb. nah, i don't have 14+ years of experience...
I applaud you for that.. But you acting like it's a pissing contest.
go ask them how many people back in the gap that were scared and would've rather caved then fight back.
That's all I'm saying bruh.
You portraying the good. Those fighting for the cause. And acting like nobody was scared and running from conflict.
Come on now

Again, it's easy for you & your grandfather great uncle to armchair QB. What has your grandfather done to earn the right to criticize anyone? If you have half the intelligence &really sat down & thought about it, would you blame any of the black folks coming up in the age pre-civil rights & at the right of jim crow. You so much as looked at a white woman, you would be found that night & lynched. Do you honestly understand what you are seeing when you look at the pics of these publics lynchings?
So if there was a segment of black folks that were too scared to dare to dream for anything else, than I honestly can understand the mentality but don't criticize or judge no one coming from a historical perspective like that if you've never walked a mile in their shoes & most especially if you or your grand father haven't given back to your communities in a significant way.
It's very easy to QB from the comfort of sitting in front of a computer.

seriously, as hard as it is for a white person to understand what it's like to be black today, it's just as hard for any of us to understand what it was like to be black 40 years ago.

Problem is you don't know if they were out there putting work or if they were submissive and dealt with it. I have family members who were on both sides of the equation but one thing I can say is no matter what blacks back then stuck together better than we do today. Sit around and talk to old heads and be amazed at how communities looked out for their own.
It's a shame the end of segregation and eventually crack ruined a good thing. sent **** down a spiral

If the president was white do you think he'd sit back while unarmed white boys/men are being murdered at the hands of law enforcement?
Now if you answer no to that then what's the issue with Obama?
I hope I never see another black man in the Oval Office again. Talk about an illusion of power...

That's not an empty question.
There are countless examples where a societal issue is not really addressed until it affects white people.
Then once that happens you usually end up with swifter reform.
Do your history.

I tried to tell my people to let that N word go and they want to argue how nothing is wrong with it and I give it power but now they are whining about the media calling us thugs [emoji]128527[/emoji] smdh man come on now!
My point exactly, that words have power whether you think you give them power or not and the next time your kid says the WORDS "I love you", I want you to attempt to remove the power and emotions your body/soul will naturally respond with, ok?
