Sam Dubose

By Abagond

 

Excerpts from @getgln

 

Sam Dubose (1971-2015) was an unarmed Black American man who was shot dead by police in Cincinnati, Ohio after a Routine Traffic Stop. At 6.30pm on July 19th 2015

 

The video shows Tensing repeatedly asking Dubose for his driver’s licence. Dubose is sitting in his car looking for it.

Then Tensing, telling Dubose to take off his safety belt, tries to open the car door! Dubose tries to keep the car door closed and starts his engine.

Tensing reaches into the car and tells him, “Stop!” – and then shoots him in the face (fuzzed out in the video).

 

In the US in 2015 so far, police have killed over 550 people.

This is only the fourth time anyone has been charged with a crime.

White People | Official Full Documentary | MTV

What does it mean to be white? MTV’s ‘White People’ is a groundbreaking documentary on race that aims to answer that question from the viewpoint of young white people living in America today. The film follows Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker, Jose Antonio Vargas, as he travels across the country to get this complicated conversation started. ‘White People’ asks what’s fair when it comes to affirmative action, if colorblindness is a good thing, what privilege really means, and what it’s like to become the “white minority” in your neighborhood. For more information on ‘White People,’ and to join the conversation, head to race.lookdifferent.org

A new law just signed by Gov. Jerry Brown gives employee rights to professional cheerleaders, including the right to receive at least minimum wage and to be paid for all practices and appearances.

This took way to long. Shameful history.
Requiring cheerleaders to work without pay? Seriously!? With all the money that sports brings in!? Female indentured servants.#WomensRights
