LIVING BLACK IN AMERICA

[Rootilda]

That last Trump tweet got a warning put over it about glorifying violence although you can still click through to read it which is not removing his free speech, that fucking asshole.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has taken recently fired police officer Derek Chauvin into custody for the murder of George Floyd.

Thank God.

[BigMark]

You're welcome!

[sally]

I hate protesters, but I hate that guy even more.

[Maggot]

Well that should stop the rioting..........right?

[sally]

No unfortunately not, but you would think it should.

[sally]

I'd love to see them all get mustard gassed and the cop get beaten to death in prison.

[Maggot]

Well they have the hamburgers, hotdogs and grills to use now. Party time.

what has happened is all that energy all that injustice is swinging the other way now. The whole world is watching in disgust. Your country has got to address racism in your country. The next President is going to have to sort it out it. It's bringing your country down.

Yes the burning of buildings and chaos is not the answer but it's brown out to an all out race war. They have enough. They are equal to you people, and the world is watching and now you have a big old mess with your CV19 and now cold blooded murder. It's only a year ago the same police force killed an innocent Australian woman for calling 911 and reporting a disturbance. Your police force over there are behaving like thugs. There is clearly a culture within the force that is allowing this to continue. You have to clean up your act.

I'm glad Trump is being called out on his lies. It's not free speech when you are the leader of the nation and telling a bunch of crap to the nation. He is so dumb. The only thing he is good at is throwing cheap one liners.

[BigMark]

He engages in economic slavery, he's a conniving racist with a flaccid old wrinkled penis!

[aussiefriend]

The working poor are slaves.

From Joy Reid's twitter:

"Remarkable info coming out of this presser: Gov. Tim Walls, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter and now MN attorney general Keith Ellison ALL alleging outside forces, domestic and possibly foreign, have post-Tuesday infiltrated the state, and are...

in organized fashion setting fire to historic businesses in communities of color, and causing mayhem. Ellison cited the widely circulating video of a white man in a gas mask holding an umbrella who was caught by protestors on video breaking windows.

And the governor says he has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, and fully mobilized the MN National Guard for the first time in 164 years. This is a continuing story and presumably we will begin hearing it echoed in other cities.

Mayor Carter said EVERY person arrested last night during the protests was from out of state. The governor said it is at least 80 percent, and that they will begin releasing the names. Dept of Safety Commissioner John Harrington says they are contract-tracing arrestees:

He adds that white nationalist groups are posting messages promoting going to Minneapolis to “get our loot on” and cause mayhem. He says they will investigate those using the outrage over the murder of George Floyd as a “cover” for illegal activity.

Gov. Walls acknowledged the legitimate “rage and anger” over the police-involved killing but “last night was a mockery of pretending it’s about George Floyd’s death or about disparities.”

This pressure just gets more remarkable. Mayor Frey says on Tuesday the protests were very different. He says the masks worn by the protests after they morphed were about disguise, not covid safety.

Mayor Carter says they saw mayhem starters throw incendiary devices and then run behind legit protesters and “use them as a human shield.” He says being out after curfew allows yourself to be used.

This is now a story not just about grief, anger, protest, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, it’s about infiltration and deliberate mayhem inflicted on the very communities that are hurting — both because of police brutality, and due to cove—per the mayor 1,000 deaths to date."

There's also this which hasn't been verified that I know of but he's got very distinctive bone structure and I think it's him.

Ah Joy Reid      Mrs. Blackface. There's some real oatmeal brains right there.

From Joy Reid's twitter:

I've seen so many people talking about that today and it began again in earnest after boss hogg Bill Barr spoke and blamed it on the left/far left. He did so after explicitly being told it was just the opposite of that by people who would know given it's their communities. He did that on purpose. Asshole.

[Duchess]

...and I think it's the cop in the face mask too. I wish one of those reporters would get busy and verify those text messages and find out if it really is his ex saying it's him, she also said it was her mask and her gloves but really, who the fuck knows. Investigate! I'd love to have it confirmed.

[Duchess]

Wow. Thousands are chanting Black Lives Matter in front of the US embassy in Berlin! 

Man. The whole world is watching all the fuckery in our country.

[Rootilda]

We're a god damn train wreck.

I'm glad Trump is being called out on his lies. It's not free speech when you are the leader of the nation and telling a bunch of crap to the nation. He is so dumb. The only thing he is good at is throwing cheap one liners.

There are still enough people that support Trump that him getting called out by Twitter barely makes a dent. But you notice how much time Trump spends talking about that. And talking about Saturday Night Live and talking about un-important stuff and playing the victim card-him and his whole family.
They should be standing up for the opressed instead they continue to support a system that does very little for the oppressed.

Racism has existed for a long time here. Some thought it went away for a while-including me-but it is apparent that it has not and will take a lot more in order for it to change. It is sad. Truly sad.

I can't tell if it is the same person or not. But it is clear that there is video of this person and they need to be pursued. After they smashed the windows in the Auto Zone he said to the people filiming, "I am on your side!" 
Well-the unfortunate thing is that white people will not get blamed for the destruction, looting and rioting in the city, black people will. I know the city is well aware that many have come from outside to do this destruction. It is so sad.

Some were trying to peacfully protest and not do this.
