    Not "only in the Panhandle." I was a Mayor in the Panhandle. Only at a rally. That's where a weak man stokes violence. And weak politicians are complicity silent. And our country grows more divided.

    Trump asks Florida rally crowd: "How do you stop these people" from crossing the border? "Shoot them!" a rally attendee shouts out. Trump: "That's only in the panhandle you can get away with that stuff. Only in the panhandle."

    This is a sick country and this is just one of the toxic symptoms that Black people live with everyday. And don’t say he’s a “bad apple.” The tree is rotten!

    St Ann Mo cops pulled a car over on a traffic violation, said the PASSENGER didn’t comply, refusing to raise his hands (A LIE), unlock the door or open the window (HE COULDN’T BECAUSE CAR CRASHED ON HIS SIDE). He was released with NO CHARGES. Another day being Black in America.

    Another “bad apple?” No, the policing system tree is rotten with racism and legalized brutality of black bodies. The whole system needs to be transformed.

    This is the first time I’ve been able to come to Los Angeles since my brother Nipsey Hussle met an untimely end. Despite the lingering grief, the lessons of his life remain: love your own, purchase and invest in your own hood, elevate your kin and kind through education, (1/2)

    The woman who said Emmett Till came onto her lied about what he said. The officer who killed Oscar Grant lied about what he did. The police withheld video of Sandra Bland that tells a different story. There’s a long history of black ppl being killed based on someone else’s lie.

    So cultural nuance of ’ look - People used to show up to the African American Day parade in Harlem with frames around their faces! Lorraine O’Grady’s ‘Art Is’ movement. Centering blackness as beauty. Reclaiming the narrative. BLACK CAMP!

    Local authorities kept this cell phone video from Sandra Bland a secret for 4 years. Local journalists fought to get it released. Sandra Bland knew her rights. She never should've been arrested and threatened in the first place. A gross abuse of power from this officer.

    Sandra Bland Cell Phone Video Finally Released
    After four years of keeping the fact that Sandra Bland filmed her own arrest a secret, local journalists finally obtained and released it. She never should've been arrested in the first place.

    I wrote these tips after a loved one’s grandson experienced racial violence at school. The response to his post reinforced my belief that many parents do not know how to approach conflict with the school system (or that they can).
