18. Sad but true
Fri Sep 18, 2015, 04:50 PM
Sep 2015

Steve Harvey is doing an excellent show today to clarify the real meaning behind Black Lives Matter.

Faux's attempts to make it a hate group like the KKK is obnoxious and an attemt to mislead old white viewers into thinking the police are being targeted for assassination by black youth.

It is like yelling fire in a crowded theater.
It should be a violation of first amendment rights to lie to promote a civil war on black people.

It's very provocative to use such divisive terminology, defending the over use of extreme policing in poor communities.

Quotas and stop and frisk, are a way to finance the tax cuts for corporations and the megawealthy billionaires, by placing it on the backs of the poor in tickets and fines and court costs, probation costs, jail costs, phone privilege cost, commissary costs, evaluation costs, and so on. It's all part of the mind set of private prisons making money money off incarceration. It's fucking sick.
