I’m so tired of black and brown bodies being slain for the world to see. our brothers and sisters should still be here today and I’m outraged that they aren’t. to be killed over boiling water to be met with that brutality is sickening. to follow every order and still be shot is premeditated. the lack of humanity to refer to her as a “crazy bitch” speaks volumes. acab!

May the Governor of Missouri never know peace. May his every waking moment be that of pain and suffering, may he be ridiculed by society

May Marcellus Khaliifah Williams find peace in the afterlife and may Eric Greiten and the attorney general and the Supreme Court get exactly what they deserve

On this day, 5 November 1843 an enslaved woman called Carlota Lucumi led a slave uprising in Matanzas, Cuba. Brandishing machetes, Lucumi and her co-conspirators summoned other enslaved people with a kettle drum, then killed the cane plantation enslavers before heading to neighbouring plantations and farms to free other enslaved people.

While Lucumi herself was soon executed, the rebellion lasted until the following year, when Spanish colonial authorities succeeded in violently repressing it.

The abolition of slavery in Cuba was eventually achieved in 1886.

Un día como hoy, 5 de noviembre de 1843 una mujer esclavizada llamada Carlota Lucumí lideró una rebelión de esclavos en Matanzas, Cuba.

Llevando machetes, Lucumí y sus co-conspiradores hicieron un llamado a otros esclavos utilizando un timbal y luego mataron a los escalvizadores de la plantación de caña. Luego se dirigieron a plantaciones y granjas vecinas para liberar a otras personas esclavizadas.

Aunque Lucumí pronto fue ejecutada, la rebelión duró hasta el año siguiente, cuando las autoridades de las colonias Españolas lograron reprimirla de manera violenta.

Eventualmente, se logró la eliminación de la esclavitud en Cuba en 1886.

hey you know what makes me afraid for the future? the fact that most people who become police officers from now on definitely saw all the bullshit that we tried to call out and put a stop to and they’ll still become a police officer. They’ll see the discrimination and the brutality and they’ll go ‘i’m fine with that’ and they’ll become a cop. There’s no way you go into this blind. We’re all on the internet and that’s made it impossible not to hear the rally cries. I want to believe many police officers who just wanted to serve the public and protect people. The job may be shit but I’d like to believe the people are good. Still, I can’t imagine anyone from this generation going into it for any of the right reasons. They heard us scream for justice and scream for our lives and they will be happy to ignore us.

The place of a white boi is under the feet of his mistress and her worshipful black king, to be walked over both figuratively and literally as he works, clothes, feeds and serves them unconditionally. That's the way it should be ♠️🧎‍♂️

It's so crazy... 2020 feels like a complete fever dream... I thought and hoped and prayed that we would keep the BLM momentum going like it was that year... But we didn't .... People started to forget and speak on it less.

I posted and still post as much as I can ab Black lives on my Facebook... Ab other social justice issues. Sometimes it felt like I was just screaming into a void... I still feel betrayed at times, by the white girlies who just a few years ago were in the streets saying "if they start shooting stand behind me"

My life doesn't feel important to most ppl. They talk a big game ab caring and wanting things to change, but at the end of the day most ppl don't want the status quo to change. They just want to do enough to look like a good person.

If this post makes you angry, makes you feel some typa way then I URGE you to look inwards and figure out WHY it strikes such an uncomfortablity in you. Figure out what you could be doing more...

I know it's difficult to hear these words, I know looking inwards is hard and uncomfortable, I've been there, I STILL have a cop in my head that I need to kill. We ALL do!
