I have no idea... what to do with my anger and hopelessness.

I don't want to work. Don't want to even think. I just want to hurt something... someone... even if its myself.

Even video games remind me of the bullshit.

I just can't, man...

I feel the same way man. I'm supposed to work tommorow but I have been up way too long watching these streams/threads. I'm gonna take tommorow off to get my head cleared cause I already know that when I get to work there is going to be a whole bunch of bullshit said about it from the people I work with.

Was gonna post that link. Stop for a moment and copy/paste a small piece into Google to find the source before you go on to spread it like it's something valid worth considering.

Just do a Twitch channel instead. Can still get all of that without having to take your clothes off.

Why is CNN spending so much time on the rioting?

At this point most of the rioting has quieted down, but if you're watching CNN you'd think half of Ferguson has been burned down and there are NO peaceful protesters. This ain't even at a 10th of the Rodney King riots.

This is fucked up coverage.

 

[jWILL253]

cmon son

He's exactly right.

I voted this year, even though my own fucking state participated in a voter fraud checklist that disproportionately affects people of color, even though they backed out at the last minute. Other niggas voted even with their perspective states participating in shit like this, in addition to bullshit voting laws.

You know what we got in return? A bunch more mothafuckas who hate us, along with a couple of Uncle Tom's who hate themselves.

Fuck the voting system. Fuck every system this country has in place. Fuck it all.

you really gonna trick off a day's pay because you're in your feelings? that aint it.







unless you on salary then by all means go ghost...

Honest question. In what ways would more voting cure the problems facing the lack of justice for the murderers of unarmed black men?

I can't think of many and I wish I could. Getting out the vote seems like a very ineffective way of solving this particular problem.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

The problem is there are thousands of ignorant motherfuckers out there also saying "fuck it, I ain't votin"

I got plenty of leave so I'm good man plus being up for more than 24 hours ain't really a good look when I'm at work.

go look in OT or on Twitter for fresh, young racism

Niggas take off to buy videogames/comics/buy shoes/get laid bruh...it's his time. If he he wants to take off for whatever he wants why does he need to justify it?

Pretty much...

Doing the complete ass backwards form of protesting against the real problem. This whole fuck the system mentality needs to be turn down by a few knob combinations.

Honest answer.

Make politicians actually have to give a fuck about black people outside of election season and maybe maybe you'll see a difference.

But being like "fuck it" is guaranteed to not do shit

 

[Angelus Errare]

But for politicians there is no reason to give a fuck about black people outside of election season. Hell there's barely a reason for them to give a fuck about anyone outside of election season.

In order to change that you'd have to get rid of lobbying...good luck with that.

With that said, the idea of "fuck voting" is dumb. I have yet to meet an intelligent person who has uttered such a statement. And I doubt I ever will.

 

[Byakuya769]

Paying attention to primaries so you don't get Missouri democrats on the final ballot is worth a shot too.

The problem with your logic is many people are choosing between spineless democrats and evil republicans. Eventually you get to the point that you're like fuck this shit.

I'm all for mandatory voting but it seems like even with required voting the majority would find ways to fuck us over.

mandatory voting has nothing to do with it

make your elected officials care by actually being at these town halls, debates, etc. i mean shit - any time you feel like debating "does this shit even work or not" just look at san antonio or texas in general over the past few years

Nothing is worse then the apathy of citizens.

But idk anymore.

Only thing that changes over time is the structure and acceptable wording of racist practice.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

For the same reason we acted brand new when Iran went full rage and took US hostages for months. Things done to people have consequences. Chickens come home to roost and nobody wants to feel like things in their perfect world aren't so perfect and clean.

The people of ferguson weren't in their elected officials faces this year? Everyone can't be expected to be active politically and they shouldn't NEED to be just to be treated like humans. Just like everyone can't be expected to not show emotion when being wronged. There's no one solution to all this and I just hate the condescending attitude displayed towards people's frustrations reaching that fuck it point.

I may not agree with fuck voting but I damn sure don't agree with "just remain calm and vote your problems away" that many people seem to think works in this country.

Might as well vote than flip on your back and take whatever comes. I mean, there's no reason why a town thats 70% black cant strongly influence who becomes an elected official in their town and who doesn't. It might not change things, but its always better than just saying fuck it and doing nothing.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

So not sure how up anyone is on gamergate, but Phonte retweeted something from Mike Cernovich (questionable lawyer who has expressed admiration for murder and rape, says doxxing is fine, hired a private eye to get into on Zoe Quinn) about Ferguson. I tweeted Phonte like "don't RT him, he's suspect" and Phonte said "I know Mike, he walks it like he talks it, I respect him."

scust and disappointment

This is who Phonte respects

wait til someone dies to pay attention to your local elections

oh wait

I'm appalled and saddened by the news. Right now the college students have gone home for the most part so the streets are relatively empty. This means I stick out even more. This hurts because this shit keeps happening and they keep getting away with it. Local authorities told the President to pipe down. Let that sink in for a second. They don't respect the President of this country or any black male which is utterly disgusting.

At what moment are we free to live? I'm asking because I don't have the answer. Similar to last time, the general consensus amongst us black males is sadness and fear. This could be any one of us. For some odd reason, I can't stop crying. I all but told everyone I'm friends with online to leave me out of their racist diatribe because if I respond to cries for help. Last year, I lost a church friend over blatant insensitivity towards the Trayvon verdict and the impact on black men's souls.

Honestly, I think death would be my only release from this constant misery of watching people seemingly hunt down different versions of me at different times and get away with it. I'm not suicidal but that's chilling when you think about it. Where are we headed as a country when the majority of the population condones these actions and dismisses the pain of one race? This shouldn't be happening in 2014. I want to move to a new country after this. I could leave tonight but can't find a safe place to live...

I could get by in Auckland, New Zealand, Toronto, or maybe Sidney, Australia. Avoiding the perception of criminal behavior keeps me out of legal trouble. Everyone that's not a part of my church thinks I'm chill. Church goers think I'm going to either punch them in the face, spazz on them, or fear me because they get the feeling I'm the right guy to pick on for the wrong reasons.

You are right that there's no safe place but all I want is freedom to live without everyone fearing me or trying to antagonize me.

I guess me and that boy Furyous about to go to New Zealand brehs

Hopefully church goers there don't hate him doe
