Reposted from @empressladybug An essential message from Dr Welsing! 🖤 Black love, within the context of community development, must be shaped by the positive related concepts of oneness, unity, commitment, collectivism, and a shared sense of identity and belonging. These concepts then help to foster the appropriate attitude in society needed to advance our group’s various interests. Dr Amos Wilson said, “when a community is crippled by destructive tendencies this is because the related concepts linked to the things they love have been negatively manipulated. Either by internal or external forces, in such a way that they no longer act in a manner that supports their self determination”. Such communities often showcase dysfunction, maladjustment, social stratification, internalised oppression, misplaced aggression, pessimism, escapism, and individualism. Therefore in order for our love to work for us, it must be linked to positive related concepts that allow our love to serve as a prerequisite for enduring organisational power and cooperation. Black love is a revolutionary act that must be used to bind our collective work beyond just the transactional; it must move our commitment beyond organising solely against a perceived threat, so that our collective effort isn’t lost after the threat of oppression is neutralized. Black love must be used as an enhancing and growth element that helps us to fulfill our nation-building potential.

Elexus Jionde faces barrage of harassment after tweeting about 9/11 and black history

Jionde’s tweetstorm on black history prompted a largely positive response. However, it also triggered an onslaught of harassment, including racist comments and death threats.

“I’ve received death threats, racist jokes, and a lot of tweets regarding my future children having cancer. That [first] tweet has since gone viral, and without the 40+ tweets accompanying it, there are people in my mentions telling me that I’m a disgrace to my race and country for saying 9/11 only killed white people, when that isn’t what I said at all.”

Jionde believes that her thread being disabled was “no accident,” and she has accused Twitter of deliberately removing the thread.

“I believe Twitter deliberately unconnected the thread to deprive people of context. Some will say that it was some sort of system glitch or whatever, but I personally believe they disabled my thread because someone in the office was offended over the first tweet.”

Twitter outrightly denies this, suggesting that the problem could be the result of a bug.

The white 12 year old knew he was shooting at police and he wanted to do so.

Now this back and forth with police last for awhile. Cause cops were tryna not to shoot the kids.

All I can think about is how many police cam videos I've seen where police have immediately shot a black minor. Tamir Rice was shot and kill immediately.

News outlets were originally trying to conceal the white boy's..... wayment White Male identity because they say he is mentally I'll. Whatever. I found it. Here you go.....

Edit: Thanks to the pic we know his name is Travis O'Brien.

News wanted to hide the Male and female identity. I thought it was funny when Inside Editon said the father of the female freely gave the media her pic. Like "yup that's her. Here you go."

Here is the news story.....

Here is another news link

But look at this section. Officers were trying their hardest not to shoot even though they were told the shooters wanted them dead. Let that have been some black folks. It wouldve been DOA.
