I hear you, and agree. But I seriously think this has gone beyond a "black issue", that's what started it and what keeps fueling the fire. But in the meantime the world is seeing some shady sh%$ going on in general. The middle east is well versed on media spins and propaganda. But many on our own soil are still ignorant to it. I know of a couple people that were completely amazed cause they were watching the live feeds i would send them, then they would hear a completely different story reported on the news. If when all this ends, people take our mainstream media less serious, its a huge win. 90% of our issues are caused and spread by mainstream media controlled by....well you know. And if they lose that grip, they cant add their spins to every damn story to somehow benefit them or put someone down. There seriously needs to be a change in the way of life in our country.
Some points from this going on (I am always typing these at work reading this thread, so forgive me if i bounce back and forth lol)
- Add audio/video to every damn cop as part of their uniform, no exceptions. We have enough money to have TANKS show up here, we have enough money for a camera. If its "off" during something, you are treated as guilty in the event. Someone happens to shut their camera/audio off just before they shoot someone in the head, it is used against them. Just like how we are considered guilty for turning down a damn dwi test. Stop making excuses for cops, they get the responsibility to carry a gun and use it at their own discretion, its time to hold them accountable for their actions. Don't like it? Go work somewhere else, a bad isn't a shield that allows you to just do whatever the hell you want.
- Shed light on our shady media coverage on EVERYTHING, not just blacks, protests, looting, anything. Hell stop reporting there is a oil shortage and we should see gas hikes...of course we will see gas hikes you already hinted it why not get to it. This goes for anything, we should watch our mainstream media as pure entertainment.
- More social media coverage live on the scenes. I have gotten 100% of my news coverage from live feeds and live tweets, before Ferguson, I haven't logged into my twitter account in over a year. Now its the first thing I read for my news.
- Antonio French is a god damn living saint, when this is all settled, please invite this man to the white house and recognize his work in this. Many have stepped up but this man literally put a target on his back from the first minute this broke out and has been there ever since. Rather then hiding or being bought out, he continues to help the cause from our side of the fence.
- Al Sharpton and the rest of the trouble makers, their time are done. They ONLY show up after the cameras and could give a ish... They are done and irrelevant and cause more harm then good now. We need community leaders, not this dudes lining their pockets an pretending they care in front of cameras for their own celebrity.
- We need to cut off all these people who claim they care so much for their city, their hood on songs only to sell a damn record. We have not heard a PEEP from some people that have made a ton of wealth off our communities. Where is Oprah? Jay-Z? Jordan? Where are all these people?
And don't even get me started on our damn president....
Sorry for the long read but some of this sh%@ kills me man.
