    Every once in a while, life affords you the opportunity to have real, authentic, genuine happiness. It's up to you to see it. Pay attention.

  2. But nah, tomorrow it'll be those cops' academy graduation photos and will get a mugshot from 1999

  3. Just infuriating. The video. The statistic. The culture behind it all.

  4. sharing these pictures of b/c we all know the media won't be using these in their articles

  5. I don't think people understand. I feel like when one of us bleeds, we all bleed. The connection through our blackness is real.

  6. Seeing black bodies treated like animals does something to me. Something I cannot quite explain.

  7. Your grief is valid. Your anger is valid. Your numbness is valid. Your wish to hide under a rock is valid. Your desire to destroy is valid.

  8. "black bodies in pain for public consumption have been an American spectacle for centuries"- Elizabeth Alexander

  9. One day after "Independence Day" we are starkly reminded of just how free WE aren't.

  10. Being Black in America is exhausting.Y'all want us to sing, dance, play football, run fast, be your target practice, and be quiet.

  11. How many more died with no footage of their deaths?

  12. i don't want to have to explain my pain. i just want to be left alone to ponder the fucked up nature of this state sponsored genocide.

  13. be mindful of those who don't wish to engage, too. i'll have my headphones on & will be hiding all day for a reason.

  14. Rip . May your family get the justice they deserve.

  15. IT NEVER STOPS. To be black is to live under the crushing force of (post) traumatic stress.

  16. I hate that we are here again. I hate that nothing has changed. And I hate that another black life has become a hashtag

  17. these police won't see justice for their murder of , they'll come up w/ some bullshit. "suspects handcuffs looked like a gun"

  18. However folks wanna do it is the correct way.

  19. i thought i was becoming numb. i am not. it still hurts. every mike, rekia, sandra, tamir, eric, and alton hurts.
