Cop Brutally Slams Latino boy Face First into Sidewalk
Phoenix – While in recent weeks it has become all too apparent to the public that police are rarely held accountable for their actions. This case highlights exactly why many citizens dislike cops and the public as a whole is losing respect for them at a rapid rate.

This officer is a criminal in uniform. He harasses this 16 year old Latino kid. Treats him like a dog, then intentionally trips him while holding his arms so that he cannot break his own fall and swings him face first into the concrete sidewalk.

This is what #xenophobia, #racism and white supremacist patriarchy look like – the cartoonist and the white family in the cartoon.
The dad is holding the turkey as if he did all the cooking.
And Instead of inviting Latino guests or Native Americans to their dinner, they the cartoonist depicts that Latinos are breaking into their house – because, you know, all Latinos are criminals.
The doctrine of white supremacy does this. It always flips the script to make white people appear as the norm and the law abiding while making people of color appear as invaders and law breakers. And Euro-Americans do all this while living on Amerindian land.
Celebrate the Life of Mike Brown
No one really knows how many people are killed by police because the feds refuse to compile and reveal that information. If the Malcolm X Grassroots Movements is right, a black person is killed extra judicially every 28 hours. That a complete disregard for Black life.
Even in Latino communities lots of value is placed on whiteness over blackness. We need to talk about anti-blackness within Latino communities, so as part of a #DigitalAltar for Dia De Los Muertos we want to celebrate Black life and Mike Brown.
Will you share this on social media and celebrate Black Life today?
Celebrate the life of someone close to you today using #DigitalAltar.

What Goes Down in Ferguson is an Asian American Concern – In Fact, It’s a 99% Issue
Precariat: A social class defined by the shared experience of precarity, a condition of existence without predictability or stability, particularly as pertains to employment and economic security
…
Make no mistake. Ferguson is an Asian American issue. The exclusion and abuse of Black people and immigrants in the United States goes hand in hand. Together, they represent a loophole in democracy through which the 1 percent are moving an agenda that is making us all precariats.

Football Fan Threatens to “Fucking Cut” Native American
[A] blonde little wisp of a girl completely freaked me out as I waited in line for the bathroom. “Is that shirt supposed to be funny?” she asked motioning to my satirical“Caucasians” T-shirt. And then she said, “I’ll fucking cut you.” Actually, she didn’t scare me so much as the wannabe linebackers standing behind her who looked like they wanted to make good on her threat.
