Real Ferguson activists out on the streets who command major respect that some JohnnyComeLately wannabes who just care about the limelight smeared mercilessly. It was just a replay of the same shit done to Cornel West but it didn't work.
This is great news.
We, the protesters of Ferguson and beyond, in order to fulfill the democratic promise of our union, establish true and lasting justice, accord dignity and standing to everyone, center the humanity of oppressed people, promote the brightest future for our children, and secure the blessings of freedom for all black lives, do ordain and dedicate ourselves to this movement of radical liberation.

I hope they film it for future release a few years down the road.
People are already getting nasty but what else is new?

(35,568 posts)I've had mad respect for this guy ever since the CeCe McDonald case. Morehouse College Professor. CNN Commentator. Host of BET News & HuffPost Live. co-CEO of Elite Voices. Exec. Producer of For Colored Boys. Check him out here with much more detail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Lamont_Hill
A few weeks ago he said he couldn't because of our Palestinian brothers and sisters but check this out from a few minutes ago. I almost fell out of my chair
Brother Cornel tugged him over the edge I'm sure because they were both on CNN together a few days ago discussing the media's racist reporting of BLM.

In the end, @BernieSanders' candor & willingness to be pushed re: policy and approach were evident during the meeting.

We spoke w/ @BernieSanders re: "community policing" as code for surveillance in some communities of color &, in the end, I think he got it.
