Re: Operation Ghetto Storm: 2012 Annual Report on the Extrajudicial Killing of 313 Black People

You can't erase racial difference and promote class issues. That's why so much of the middle class is disillusioned. Of course Caucasians die. Those are the deaths that you'll hear about on the news. So... Do you think if you add "the homeless" to the equation, that # of white homeless deaths will even out the racial extrajudicial murder demographic?

Why are you so intent on marginalizing race in the discourse? There are so many more platforms addressing class issues than there are racial issues, precisely due to the fact we all feel that rift through the economy. Many people classify themselves as middle class (a lot who aren't, denying privilege or breaking the bank in an effort to performatively identify with some sense of 1st class status). Yes, we are all similar in that aspect of oppression but the number of black bodies caught by the police is frightening.

Don't be scared of the reality. Don't trick yourself into Master's house using master's tool's, "PC" I think they call it. 313. But that's as real as it gets.

There are margins within the margins. Don't get it twisted. It's Class. And Race. And Gender. And Sexuality. That's like hearing no evil and talking a lot of shit about the shit in front of you. Black Bodies Radiate. And Blood's Everywhere.

This DOES happen to Caucasians! and there are no more people that care then if it's a black person that's killed. In fact i would say it's less people that want to look into it or find answers when it's a white person who's been murdered in police custody or by L.E.O's. If you're in the ghetto, you're in the ghetto. "They" don't give a fuck about poor people is what it comes down to: black, white, whatever, it doesn't matter. It's CLASS warfare.and YOU play right into it by marginalizing it to only black people. How many homeless people do you think the cops kill yearly? I bet it's more than 313. but I don't have the funds or enough funded people that care about homeless people to do a study like this one. How many people (of any ethnicity) at or under the poverty level have been killed by police vs. affluent or middle class. I bet the number gets higher the lower the income level goes. All I'm saying that it's a larger issue than race.

Re: Statement by MXGM’s People’s Self-Defense Campaign on the Murder of Kimani Gray by the NYPD

Guest — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:27:51 -0000

Kimani was out after curfew...he was illegally carrying a gun...and he pointed that gun at cops...getting shot was HIS fault and his PARENTS fault for not raising him right and allowing him to run the streets and do whatever the hell he wanted...nobody was murdered...he POINTED A GUN AT COPS...anybody who does that will get shot...all that stuff you see on TV where people point guns at cops and they say "come on put the gun down" is NOT realistic...in the REAL world as soon as cops see you raising the gun they SHOOT...PERIOD...because that is what they are trained to do...i am not disputing that police brutality does happen...i know there are dirty cops out there...but THIS incident is not the right one to use as an example...all using THIS case as an example will do is make it hard for anyone to take you seriously when you try to bring attention to REAL instances of racism/police brutality...raise your kids to obey the law and don't let them join gangs and run the streets at all hours of the night carring guns...if Kimani's parents had done this for him he would not have gotten shot

I fully support this call to action! Christopher Dorner gave his life to expose this corruption / brutality ( without anyones help or approval)
that is consistently overlooked. Enough is enough

i like the very detailed points you made, which should be implemented. The law will need to work towards fairness, truth and fact finding, and justice in a color blind fashion. this matter must be investigated before this man goes to Oakland which is already under court order. If the US Government supports such a sloppy official then it will be siding with this past history and not creating something new and necessary. Here is the story of a LAPD officer who wrote a book - and makes the same accusations and had the same experience. Now, the LAPD wants to paint anyone who wants accountability as supporting a 'killer' - well, what say you now LAPD, to a book? Whats the excuse now? The whole nation watched this and knows of the history of that police department. I was sickened when I read what that police department did to Dohner and why doesn't the department care what happened to one of its own? I am very concerned about what is going on.

This is all talk. When will someone take the chance and risk their life like doner did to be heard? When will we as a black people stop giving lip service and take action. Doesn't have to be the right or wrong action. But something to get the ball rolling. I'm afraid it is almost too late. The truth has been burried under lies until we can tell them from eachother. Black people have become our own worst enemy. Soo much that if we were to even try and unite. We would have to kill millions of blacks that are either useless to the cause or against blacks uniting. White people don't hate black people. We got it all wrong from the start. Its not hate. They are disgusted by the very apperence of black skin. (The few white woman are simply bored or climbing the ladder of success) how can any race love blacks if we don't even love ourselves. Our woman embarrass us with the hair and just simply unkept ways. The young men put us to shame with the crime( mostly cowardice crimes) and our elders leave us foolish with no guidance. We are a lost people. The mere face that we can reproduce at an unmatchabe strenght is our only reprieve. I'm soo sad at the state of our people it hurts. Sad thing is I have been affected by it all. I now see white people as a better friend and more trust worthy than any blacks I might now (scary I know) but its the truth. This site is great. But how about stop all the talk and put our money where are mouth is. Use ur site to ask every single black person on earth to donate money to the negro fund and see how much u get. Yet every other race has done it. Accumalated funds for the betterment of their race. Weather secretly or openly they have done it. And white supremecy sees them unite and give them credit for that. (Strength in numbers) yet we blacks. The most gifted and diverse culture on earth. Cannot ask every single black to give for the betterment of future blacks to come. If we can't accomplish this simple goal as a people how can we do anything substancial. TO OUR LEADERS. STOP TALKING AND SINGING COON SONGS AND START PUTTING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE. PUT YOUR FAMILYS LIFE ON THE LINE. ANYTHING IT TAKES. OUR FOREFATHER DID IT. WHY CAN'T WE?? OUR LEADERS NEED TO BE HANGED IF THEY CAN'T ACCOMPLISH THIS. AND WHITE AMERCA SHOULD GET A THANK YOU FOR LEADING A WHOLE DIFFERENT RACE WHEN THEIR OWN LEADERS BOWED DOWN TO FOREINGNERS! !!!! AND CONTINUE TOO!!!
