A video made by Black Muslim women in France

[hellyeahblacklivesmatter]

Five kids aged 14 to 16 years old were found dead in the poor neighborhood of Llano Verde, in Cali, Colombia, this past Tuesday (August 11th). It is suspected that the kids were murdered because they refused to be recruited into gangs. The massacre has caused a lot of sadness in the Afro-Colombian community and beyond. Another horrible act of violence occurred yesterday (August 13th), during the funeral service that was held in honor of the victims, a grenade exploded and left one dead and 15 injured. All of this happened in a neighborhood populated mostly by families that arrived recently to Cali from rural parts of the country that they had to escape because of the armed conflict. After being displaced by violence from their territories, forced to leave under the threats of paramilitary groups, they arrived to the city only to live in neighborhoods where they are exposed to more poverty and violence...  But do Black Lives Matter outside of the US?  Please say their names...  Juan Manuel Montaño, 15 years old. Jean Paul Perlaza, 15 years old. Leyder Cardenas, 15 years old. Alvaro Jose Caicedo, 14 years old. Jair Andres Cortez, 14 years old.

Potent minimalist art sends a strong message about police and vigilante brutality in America

Journalist and artist Shirin Barghi has created a gripping, thought-provoking series of graphics that not only examines racial prejudice in today’s America, but also captures the sense of humanity that often gets lost in news coverage. Titled “Last Words,” the graphics illustrate the last recorded words by Brown and other young black people — Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and others — who have been killed by police and vigilantes in recent years.

Let us not forget their voices

in this video, she says in French : “I often get angry, because this is not a noise, it’s my language. For example, people call me Miriam Makeba. But that is not really my name. My name is Zenzile kaMakeba kaQhwashu nguVama Yikhetile Ngxowa Bantwana Balomzi Xa Ufun’Uk’bajabulisa Ubathengele Ibotela Yotshwala. The colonizers of our land, in South Africa, call this song “Click Song” because they are not able to pronounce “Qongqothwane”.”  (another transcription i found of her full name was Zenzile ka Makeba ka Qgwashu Nguvama Yiketheli Nxgowa Bantana Balomzi Xa Ufun Ubajabulisa Ubaphekcli Mbiza Yotshwala, i don’t know which one of the two is more correct)

I have no faith in a proper investigation.
