No, fuckboy, you need to STFU because I'm not taking abt ppl organizing *locally* I'm talking abt rallies taking place throughout the country like in the case w/Trayvon and Mike Brown...and when Barack Obama says as heinous as those killings are, a blk teen is still more likely to be killed by someone who looks like him than he will by a cop...how many of us didn't want to hear that because it interfered w/our narrative of victim hood

The blk community as a whole hasn't shown 1/3rd of the concern that it does when blk teens are murderd by policemen - and this is what I KNOW...I've been following what's going on in Chicago before it became a national news story and many ppl who live there say they feel that the local and federal authorities are not giving enough attention to this crisis...so you need to take whatever your misplaced gripe up with ppl who have are being affected directly w/what's going on...
