One of my favorites.. unapologetically black.. no compromising!

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. I’m sending it on to some sister-friends now.

I share your observation! And the bold way she challenged police brutality obviously marked her for death.

Rest in Power Marielle.

I know, of the 8000 more than half are black or Brazilian.

Nice try, Dmitri. The culprits in this case are most likely police officers.

Do you want to know what happens when turning a blind eye to police brutality becomes official government policy? Just look at Brazil.

...killed by OTHER BLACKS, how shocking.

This is so sad and a bit shocking since I was just beginning to learn about Marielle Franco. Seems to me she was the embodiment of the Black Lives Matter idea. At a time when army troops are being deployed to areas like the one she represented, and for her to continue demanding accountability in terms of police…

This was painful to read. Franco gave so much of herself, and ultimately all of herself to the liberation of her people. This was so, so senseless.

She was a great advocate for the people of the favelas. She was also a harsh critic of police treatment of those same people.

I am so saddened to read this, but not shocked or surprised, which only saddens me more. I can say rest in power and that her spirit will live on, which are both true. But DAMN, I can only shudder to think what she could have done if she had a chance to LIVE in power instead. Thanks for this.

She set a trap, stepped in it, and then posted the picture on Instagram.

...Idiot.

Some girl(s) at her school need to beat her ass upon her return.

See if everyone would give up the facade and just accept that ALL white people are racist then they would have vetted this loser on snapchat earlier. They wanted to act like that murderer just came out of nowhere. WRONG. His whole family is culpable. But white people rather accept white mother tears that she had no…

My bad y’all. I used Dylann Roofs name in conversation about the walk out and why the “walk up” concept, while a good gesture, is ultimately futile. Should have known some evil would have crept back into the world.

Thanks for this reminder of my childhood, fam.

Lil Yachty called it Bubblegum Trap. I’m ok with that definition. It’s true. It’s faux drug dealing music for kids with braces who need their Xanax fix to cope with their utterly suburban lives.
