  1. from her lips to our ears.

    For so many Black folks who are able to invest in themselves and their community, they choose to invest in their family, and that's what I have chosen to do."

    she's not lying about her intentions but it's a fair observation to say that she surely isnt walking the talk. haha what a shill she is.

  2. Another corrupt leader, she's more like a hill of shill, materialistic pig.

  3. idk if what i'm about to write is true or not but i can well imagine that cullors and her lofty BLM friends are sitting comfortably in their gated communities and high value real estate making twit videos from their living room decrying "privileges" for some (not them), and urging others to go burn, riot, and "peacefully" protest.

    this same behavior has been going on since at least the 60's iirc. i grew up with "heros" standing on the shoulders of others. i think one thing her behavior does prove is that a formal education can certainly elevate one's net worth haha.

  4. Its too bad that the Washington examiner is too biased and right wing to be heard. Otherwise, people might know how breonna taylor's mother actually feels.

  5. Fraud fraud fraud.

    I’ve watched y’all raise money on behalf of Breonna’s family, who has never done a damn thing for us, nor have we needed it ... or asked - so talk about fraud.

    Shame shame.

  6. Too bad she didnt provide a source to back up her claims. She's obviously a liar.

  7. anyone notice the subtle lack of cable news coverage of protests going on in MN and other states and cities? it seems rather conspicuous in that MSNBC, and CNN are broadcasting zippo. there's live stream coverage on utube but otherwise, no media.

    just seems peculiar.

  9. after rethinking it i imagine it's for the best. what with Maxine Walters on scene calling for "confrontation with the police" next week if chauvin is found not guilty there certainly doesn't need to be minute by minute coverage of people chanting and pounding on drums. i guess if you're a congressperson, you're female, and you're non-white you can pretty much call for riots and insurrection without penalty.

    it's a new standard in a new 'merica.

  10. It’s funny how it’s cool to hate police now... esp the white cops- it’s truly a thankless job

    looting and destroying Has become the normal- which is even more messed up - but with so many collecting more on unemployment then they have made working- who wants to go back to work and lose all that free time when chaos is so much more fun

    politicians tell us common folks how to live while speaking from there million dollar homes just make me laugh

  12. president trump was accused of the same thing and look what happened to him and his supporters. will they do the same thing with maxine waters? will she be made an example of???

  13. unfortunately she wont even be censured because she's in a protected class of people: she's a multi-millionaire, she's 82 (fucking!!!) years old, she's a US congressperson, she's "of color", and she's a she.

    she wont be touched, rather she will be encouraged and held up as an example for other up and comers to emulate.

  15. not this white man. is it a conspiracy against you white man? once again you drag color into a comment that had no basis or context in or about color. the comment was intended to get a reader thinking about media manipulation not color.

    you've got a super bad case of white man's guilt. are your tirades an attempt to make amends for a racist past? i've never seen such a spectacle. have you?

  16. I saw that and thought it to be pretty crazy - government “leaders” promoting violence.

    Good stuff.

  17. No guilt here Comrade. My nose is clean in that regard.

    If it’s not some conspiracy to cover up and not report on the protests as you alluded to in your post I quoted then what do you think is going on? You have a hard on for BLM and any other groups that are protesting, in fact you seem kind of obsessed with it tbh seeing how much time you spent posting about it and trying to demean those who are protesting?

  18. flush! i've no problem with peaceful protesting in the name of BLM. bottom line i think the media is doing the right thing by not providing non-stop protest coverage with cuomo and lemon commentary, or sharpton and his crew promoting racism on MSNBC. perhaps the media is learning, idk.

    peculiar that you would make such a turmoil out of a generalized statement I made with no ill intent towards anyone. my posts must be like viagra for you. enjoy but dont get any on ya :)
     
  19. TBH your posts are like something else but we won’t go there. :)
