My last post was about the terrible bullying of
Palestine by Israel and how despite the slanted stories being told by the media
we must say something to make our disapproval known.
In these last few months there have been not only
the killing of unarmed people by police, babies being melted by swat
team/police constantly choosing the wrong address to swarm for fugitives, cyber
bullying deaths, but there have been great big protest that the media has
refused to cover. Social media has become a gateway for covering some of these
stories piece by piece. Though some of the biggest stars out ignore these
things as if nothing’s happening, others have been posting important parts of
this as to aid in the awareness of the effort to be heard and find justice. For
example Samuel L. Jackson changing the ALS ice water challenge to a song
challenge, hip-hop artist Nas and Q-tip marching with protestors, ex porn personalities
like Betty Blac, India Morel, current porn starlets like Arabelle Raphaelle or the great hip-hop photographer Ernie Paniccioli posting about the efforts or important current events on
social sites like twitter or facebook are being more proactive than others who might post a
photo of the Rockefeller Christmas tree heavily cropped so that it’s the only
thing that you see in their trip to New York photo. Even though protesters blocked the
Rockefeller center Christmas tree, most who attended it wouldn’t acknowledge this.
To ignore the efforts of those people fighting for
their rights is just as bad as going against the people’s efforts.
There are so many diverse efforts in the world that
need to call attention to them like students in Hong Kong, police killings of
civilians in Mexico, Ferguson protest killing of unarmed civilians by police
becoming so severe the KKK joined, Palestine’s efforts to end their killings by
Israel, New Yorkers protesting unarmed civilians killed by police.
The interesting thing about some people supporting
the efforts are standing up for the blood spilled of their relatives who are
not considered minorities but lived in a minority populated area where they
became considered minorities though Caucasian were targets of police/ swat team
swarm and search deaths. While police in NYC use the excuse of a Maryland
resident who killed his spouse/lover and then sought out two minority policeman
and killed as a reason to put an end to the efforts of the many, others
understand that this is a strawman using the violence of a tourist in a town
where tourist of the world flock on a daily basis. Anyone who has ever picked
up a book on criminal justice knows that the police are supposed to be
employees of the community and all of their tactics are supposed to conform to
aid the community’s citizens and though police compose statistics to justify
their actions, Chebyshev’s theorem won’t be returning the unjustly killed to
the earth.
With all of the things going on, sometimes we all
have to have a moment of righteous unification and dedication to the efforts of
those that have been wronged. Going into 2015 if we are looking to improve this
society we should step into the efforts that are helping to mold the correction
to do so. So even though the police think that submitting evidence of an insane
woman killer who elevated to the killing of police as reason to end the protest,
communities must stay vigilant to the reality of slanted stories and reasoning
just as watching Fox News and or CNN commentaries have been presenting. If some
of the famous personalities that you watch are not informed enough, maybe they’re
not as ‘down to earth’ as you perceive them to be an not worth as much
attention as you’re paying to them. If this blog is about achieving communication
and information, then I hope that it is providing it as best as possible to
satisfy any reader. Going into 2015, I hope that we will look for these traits
in everything we become involved in. Enjoy and have a happy and safe new year.
