What is even sadder, even with getting the truth out there. No matter the evidence, there is still no justice. This system was not designed for us to prosper. 

“I am devastated that the words I used portrayed me as someone that I know I am not.”

There’s no reason to be surprised that cops lie anymore. They lied 50 years ago when there were no cell phones, and they lie now (and still get away with it) when there are cell phones. There is no justice in this country. Cops rape, murder, and brutalize the public, and all that happens is they get a paid vacation…

Fuck the police.  There are no good cops.  There may be naive cops, but there are no good cops.

Color me beyond surprised that her video doesn’t support Encinia’s version of events. I’m even more surprised that this evidence wasn’t released to the public or Sandra Bland’s family attorneys. It almost makes me believe that we are living in a world where white supremacy is still the law of the land and where Black…

Yet another case of a white man not being able to mind his own goddamn business and then acting the fool when he’s not obeyed; only this one isn’t in uniform.

FUCK THE POLICE

Nah, I wouldn’t say these people are dumb. No, what you are seeing here is extreme white privilege in action here. Their lives up to this point showed them that they should have been able to get away with this. And this is the rare time that white privilege fails these people. There is nothing dumb about them…

At least one will, because it’s in the justice system’s interest that they be seen to be color- and class-blind: every so often, some unlucky rich white person has to go to jail so that other white people can continue to believe that the system is just fine. (Full disclosure: I am white.)

This happened to my uncle when he was 14 years old. A truckload of klansmen ran him over on his way to a singing program at church. Since this was in 1950s Mississippi, nothing ever came of it. I really wish that my family could get some real closure from this. 

“After the murder of her son, Christina said “I hurt inside and I’m just wanting closure, I miss him so much.” She found the compassion to forgive her son’s killers, “I want them to know that I forgive them and that I understand the addiction, I’m not saying that it was right, but I do, I do forgive them...”

The only way those pieces of garbage will keep their white race is complicity and rape.

I understand that wild animals attack, I don’t need to understand why they do it.

Well deserved. Now bury him and his thug girlfriend under the prison.

1.2% of white americans owned slaves at the height of slavery.

Agreed. This is a perfect example of propaganda. 

This is more than just wilful ignorance. I would use the more colourful term “propaganda” for what she is doing. She is very actively spinning and gaslighting and distorting reality. That takes quite some effort and mental acrobatics on her part.

You can’t even give this the benefit of doubt for being stupid—it’s willful ignorance. How you’re a grown ass woman saying some downright ignorant shit is almost amazing.

This is the problem when White people simply decide not to even bother with Black history--which is American history by the way--simply because…

I like how she made it real passive when it comes to thanking: “They never give America credit” but real personal when it comes to blaming: “start blaming people who had nothing to do with slavery for the sin of slavery.” Bitch you can’t ask for credit for ending slavery in 1865 but not take blame for perpetuating…

Poor and an addict, not really white in their eyes.
