TIME TO GET EDUCATED YOU LITTLE DOLL AND I AM NOT FOOLING AROUND. First of all, Michael was not much bigger than Darren. Both of them were the same height, with Michael being perhaps eighty pounds heavier. Now, I understand that is a significant weight difference. However, Michael Brown was walking down the street, he was unarmed, and he was killed 148 ft away from Darren’s SUV. And also, did you see Darren’s "injuries?" He literally had a shaving cut on his chin and claimed that he had been charged at by Michael, and that they had gotten in a “large fight.” I literally have received worse injuries falling down the stairs than what Darren had. Darren has a history of harassing other people and racial profiling (x, x, x, x.). The police in Ferguson are extremely racist and involved with the KKK. Darren Wilson might be involved with the KKK. What do I expect a police officer to do? I expect him to act lawfully and file a police report. Oh, but wait, he went against protocol and did not. In addition, it would be nearly impossible to grab Darren’s gun out of the holster. Also, oh my god!! He robbed the store! Oh wait, here is a video of Michael paying for his cigars/cigarettes. In addition, the store owner said no one called the police and nothing was stolen. Intoxicated on marijuana? That means Michael could not have even been able to react quickly to be violent. Marijuana causes dizziness, shallow breathing, and slowed reaction time. Darren Wilson literally arrested a man just for being filmed. The autopsy found that Darren shot Michael in his arm while Michael had his arms up, then continued to shoot him as he fell to the floor. In addition, Michael was far away from harming Darren. Ferguson protestors have been peacefully protesting, however cops opened fire on them with rubber bullets. This is actually against the first amendment, which allows freedom of speech and the right to assemble. Just in case you are unaware, rubber bullets can easily be lethal and/or cause serious injury. Really, all the eyewitnesses have sided with Darren? Not from all of this evidence (x, x.) No. People of color are killed by officers and face much more discrimination. In fact, they face seven times more discrimination by police officers than whites. NYPD profiling and targeting LGBT*Q people of color. Black students are given much worse punishments in school and in the criminal justice system. Albany Police: SWAT uses a poor black neighborhood to train in because it is “realistic.” A black man holding a wallet is more likely to be shot than a white man holding a gun. Really? Blacks kill blacks? Every twenty-eight hours an African American is extrajudicially executed in the US, almost one African American killed everyday by law enforcement, security guards, and/or vigilantes. 

Please read up on all of these articles for better education and for anything I missed. (x, x, x, x.)

"Cuz He’s Black" pt. 2/2

- Javon Johnson

For any non-Aussies out there, Karl Stefanovic is a pretty beloved TV presenter on the morning show “Today”. He’s created many hilarious TV moments like eating the world’s hottest pie, losing his shit over grumpy cat, the conversation about the long stabby thing - and there was also that time where he told a bad pun Dalai Llama joke TO the Dalai Llama. 

Well today he revealed that (as a comment on sexism in the media) he has been wearing the same suit on air every day for a year with nobody noticing. He started doing it deliberately after seeing the backlash that his female co-hosts would constantly get over their appearances.
