Federal civil court records show that, in addition to Samuel Dubose, three other people have died in altercations with University of Cincinnati police since 1997 — all of them black men.

America has a pattern of racial bias and a pattern of murdering Black, Latino, and Native American people.
Black women "mysteriously" dying in jails, Black men "mysteriously" shooting themselves in the back of police cars ……

#lonewhitemale #Lafayette – Anyone asking for deporting White men out of this country since the majority of mass shootings are by White men?

Racial discrimination is so embedded in our system that it has become nearly invisible. And there's data to prove it. http://t.co/NV1xviPa93

Martin O’Malley apologized after being criticized for saying “all lives matter” in the context of a discussion about black Americans killed by police.

Candidates better have SOLUTIONS to propose to racial injustice.
Candidates better ACKNOWLEDGE our pain and grief.
Candidates better say the words #BlackLivesMatter and all #BlackLivesMatter all day every day.
Silence is violence, and tone deafness will get them ZERO votes from social justice activists.
Bernie is a Socialist, Hillary is a moderate, and Jeb is a conservative and none of them get why Black Lives Matter. Sandra Bland could have told them but now its too late.
Sandra Bland should never have been put in the position where dying was preferable to living

White privilege is the luxury of normalcy. Not having your entire ancestral history and present reality rooted in resistance to oppression.

Kris Ramirez never saw police as a threat. Growing up, his body didn’t tense with us-versus-them dread when police cruisers drove through his Southeast Los Angeles neighborhood.
“If someone is wearing a uniform,” Ramirez said, “you show respect.”
Then last year, four days before Halloween, a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy shot and killed his brother, Oscar Jr., along railroad tracks near Paramount High School. Deputies said the 28-year-old didn’t comply with orders and moved his arm in “a threatening manner.” Ramirez was unarmed.

The Ramirez family marched in front of the Paramount sheriff’s station and held vigils, but they struggled to find wider support for their cause. As the family grieved, the national Black Lives Matter movement picked up energy, bolstered locally by the fatal shooting of Ezell Ford, a mentally disabled black man, by LAPD officers.
Watching the protests over Ford’s killing, Kris Ramirez felt frustrated: “Why can’t we get that same type of coverage or help?”
