Mmmhmmm. We see more Black men with marijuana charges than any other group. And the White men who have charges have more relaxed sentencing. Its horrible.

It’s also important to note that black people do not use cannabis more than whites. This policing is nothing less than intentional harassment of blacks and Hispanics.

Absolutely this. “How can I be a better white person without really changing any of the truly fucked up shit or giving up any supremacy?”

I worry about Mr. Shaw. Once the well deserved fame and all the pats on the back go away, he’s going to have to deal with some really dark shit. Seeing people die in front of you is a terrible thing to see. I hope he can get the help that he’s going to need. Even heroes need help.

Ugh. I hope he got them back. Damn.

Ever since I saw that scene in ‘X’ where Malcolm told that White woman she couldn’t do anything to help Black people I’ve contemplated this question. Then, just last week it hit me. White folks ain’t that damned stupid, they could just stop that bullshit but what they really want is how to be helpful and maintain…

Dreadlocks ARE professional and project a business image.

I really hope Mr. Shaw escapes the inevitable smear campaign that always seems to happen to everyone who gets notable for doing a good deed.

That took a really long time. I still find myself wondering how much bail was and how long his team is being given to come up with it. (How cynical have I become that I’m still expecting shenanigans ... and speaking of shenanigans ... somebody needs to investigate that judge)

Now they need to get a new judge or the old one will throw him right back into jail. She has “federal investigation” written all over her.

Or if you’re just being pulled over for a routine traffic stop.

A rare bright spot in this horrific world we live in. Imma enjoy it, for just a minute.

ewwwww, why the hell did you post that gif. i just threw up in my mouth 

Also, if they yell “stop resisting,” they get a free pass to kick, punch, choke, body slam, pepper spray, billy club, etc.

You do you.

There is wrong and then there is people who like mayonnaise wrong-wrong.... 

As a formerly dreadlocked individual, I’m wondering how dreadlocks can be any messier than hair that’s combed and pulled on a regular basis during the day. People with dreadlocks do not comb their hair, run small plastic or metal objects through their hair for styling purposes, or generally fluff or frizz their hair.…

“They tend to get messy,” the manager reportedly said. “I’m not saying yours are, but you know what I’m talking about.”

All white before Memorial Day? Not a good look, fam.
