"Now that it is clear that Mumia should never have been on death row in the first place, justice will not be served by relegating him to prison for the rest of his life—yet another form of death sentence. Based on even a minimal following of international human rights standards, Mumia must now be released. I therefore join the call, and ask others to follow, asking District Attorney Seth Williams to rise to the challenge of reconciliation, human rights, and justice: drop this case now, and allow Mumia Abu-Jamal to be immediately released, with full time served."
~Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dec 6, 2011 (via imaniuzuri)

This is a dream.

The Original Thugs!

First picture I have ever reblogged.
This needs to be shown…people forget how truly ugly it was.

SMH

and the white people of today are paying for what their ancestors did 

this is literally less than 100 years old. LESS THAN 100 YEARS OLD. AND WHITE PEOPLE KILLING BLACK PEOPLE IS STILL NOT A CRIME. honestly this picture triggered the fuck out of me and i’m about to burst into tears and i am so disgusted and queasy from this that i almost couldn’t reblog this but this shit HAS to be shared. it just has to.

Bold by me. RIP to Trayvon martin and all the black boys and girls, men and women who are STILL paying in blood. Strange fruits indeed.

This picture is less than FIFTY years old, and there have been three unarmed black people killed THIS WEEK ALONE.
And non PoC wonder why PoC insist on fighting racism and calling it out, and not just getting over it? How can we get over something that is STILL GOING ON?

Ancestors my ass. The lynchings haven’t stopped & plenty of white kids are sitting down to break bread with someone who participated in a lynching.

That’s why they refuse to accept their own racism. They don’t want to believe they are the relatives of sociopaths, that they have a serial killer’s genes in them.
