'Burn this b**** down'

[jah_yout]

What a bizarre question. Hey what I have stated is fact. This type of behaviour does reinforce negative stereotypes of Black people. Don't believe me? Take a stroll around the blogosphere and social media and read the comments.

it's bizarre to ask if you have ever supported any war or military action by any country?

i'll take that as "It would be too hypocritical for me to answer that question"

[Tropicana]

No it means I think your question is stupid, irrelevant and totally off topic.

No you're not going to bully me into answer a question that has nothing to do with the topic or the price of tea in China.,

[lonewolf]

What a twisted ....tortured ....ummm.....reasoning?
So the other Black Owned Businesses. The owners had their collective noses in the Air and they should be, looted, pillaged and burned to the ground, to avenge the death of Micheal Brown?

Why burn any of the businesses, white or black owned, to avenge the death of Michael Brown?

The businesses had nothing to do with his death? What happens to the community if these businesses don't rebuild? What happens (and you know it is going to happen) if insurance companies refuse to insure businesses that are in predominately black areas like Fergusen, that have had prior civil unrest?

Let's use some common sense and look at this long term.

What about the firefighters that are risking their lives to extinguish the fires?

Just for clarification. I do not advocate the torching of any business. I merely restricted my answer to the subject of Black Businesses, since my good friend Tropi, seems to have gone out her way to separate those Blacks and their businesses, who turned up their collective noses at their neighbours.

In any case if anyone takes the time to think this through. Businesses owned/operated by Whites or Blacks in such a neighbourhood are dependent on each other for survival. There is no White businesses without Blacks and no Black Business without Whites.

Folks shamelessly using the words and/or actions of Malcolm X, Bob Marley and others to justify burning and looting are nothing if not hypocrites. The tactics of one era may not hold for events decades removed from the day and age it was advocated in.
Not only that, even the views/positions of the Malcolm X and Marley could have evolved if they were here in this time.

I think the folks of Ferguson should protest as long as they don't see a change, but the court and Federal Government seems a more just way for all sides to seek Justice and/or Redress, rather than Revenge?

Lessons for Ferguson and beyond

By FinalCall.com News


When the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke at Morgan State University, his words were powerful and his warning was clear: America is on the edge of a racial explosion and no amount of pacification nor denial can solve the problem.

He described Ferguson, Mo., as the spark that could ignite the country and the reason why any who would lead or serve Black America must give up their fear and defense of White America and her wrongdoing.

“You can’t feel it? When you talk to young people, you can’t feel that you’re missing them? Parents, you can’t feel when you’re talking to your children that this is a new generation—and they don’t want to hear your compromising talk? Did you hear them in Ferguson tell Jesse [Jackson] ‘Get the hell outta here! You ain’t no leader.’” said the Minister. Rev. Jackson has worked hard but what was a good tactic yesterday is not a good approach today, the Minister said. To reach young people you must reject the old ways and reject taking a pacifist position to please White people, he said.

“Tonight in Ferguson everybody is on edge. White folks have never been on edge after they killed a Black man. Tonight they’re on edge; so on edge that our president has come out from behind the curtain to ask young Black people: ‘Cool it. That’s not our way.’ I heard you, Mr. President; and I asked myself a question: What brings you out of the shadows? … I said to myself, ‘Mr. President: Why the hell don’t you go to the wicked police department? Why the hell don’t you stand up and tell them that your killing of Black youth and Brown youth is not going to hold no more,” said Min. Farrakhan.

But the reality is the Minister’s warning is not just a caution it is divine wisdom connected to the reality that Blacks in America fulfill biblical prophecy and are the true Children of Israel and God Himself has chosen us for his people. Who is more foolish and who has suffered more than the Black man and woman of America? Whose children are dying in the streets, shot down by police officers who are more likely to get promoted than to get indicted or tried for wrongdoing?

God wants us today and the anger and the persecution of White people is part of the divine hand moving us to reject our oppressor and to accept a new reality.

“Now you, you preachers and leaders, you administrators, you teachers, you leaders—you are the worst because you bought into the enemy. And you want to lead our people not to God, not to Jesus, but you want to lead them into the path of their open enemy that God has come to separate them from,” said Min. Farrakhan Nov. 22.

The killing of unarmed Mike Brown, 18, by White officer Darren Wilson of the Ferguson Police Dept., during the summer and the failure to indict the officer is not an anomaly. “The president and the attorney general know that this is going on in every city and town in America where Black people live. But they know an explosion is going to come, they know it,” said the Minister. “You’re like a seismologist, who studies the signs, and predicts an earthquake, or those who hear rumbling from a sleeping volcano, and they say, ‘It’s—it’s gonna blow.’ ”

Pastors and religious leaders must recognize the time and God’s judgment against America and respond to the call of God—not the White man. “See reverend, it’s all written in the scriptures. There isn’t anything happening that the prophets didn’t see. But you’ve got to see and stop this damn kind of weak preaching, when judgment has hit America—you’ve got to prepare your people for what is coming down,” warned Min. Farrakhan. “The Hand of God has touched America, touched her wealth that’s got her slaves so attracted to America.”

In the face of the murder of our children, the destruction of our neighborhood and the relentless assault on Black life, we cannot simply lie down. We must stand up, fight and defend our lives and our right to life. It is all we have. Only a slave cuddles up to the master despite the lash, despite the abuses, despite the suffering. We have to be better than that in the 21st century as this is the time of our rise. Our day of servitude is over and the more we try to play the servant part the more we suffer.

Shortly after the August killing of young Brown, the Minister delivered a serious message and warning from the Nation of Islam’s flagship Mosque Maryam. “I warn you that something terrible is about to go down, and Ferguson is a sign: A microcosm of the macrocosm. The killing of Michael Brown is one in many—some we know about and some we don’t know about; but every city and town where Black people live, Black men are being shot down by police. … Today, I want to examine not just us on our level, but where all of this is coming from, so that my young brothers and sisters will know that they are the target, and are unknowing conspirators in a plan to destroy Black youth and destroy Black people.”

The fratricidal violence we commit on one another helps to set the stage for assaults on Black youth, in particular, as part of a war on crime and drugs. It’s time we stop killing one another and obey the call of God.

“I cannot talk about ‘world situations’ and not shine the light on what’s happening to Chicago; Allah wants me to speak to the situation here and in the world with clarity and guidance. Not that I can stop what He is allowing the wicked rulers of the world to produce, but to warn the innocent of what the wicked rulers and their wickedness is finally bringing about that will impact all of us in the fulfillment of prophecy,” said Min. Farrakhan.

“You may say, ‘Well, how am I a part of such a conspiracy?’ The prophecies of the Bible and Qur’an are real. And most of you who disrespect the prophets and disrespect scripture is not because by nature you are like that; however, sometimes the way we represent God is so reprehensible that in the eyes of our young people preachers look like pimps.”

We need proper representation of God and a proper response. Our failure will only bring us more sorrow, more pain and more loss. Haven’t we had enough? Or must more of our children die?

Farrakhan Speaks: Ferguson and The law of retaliation

[blugiant]

Farrakhan On Ferguson: ‘We’ll Tear This God damn Country Up!


Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan went on a fiery tirade about Ferguson on Saturday — threatening that if the demands of protesters aren’t met, “we’ll tear this goddamn country apart!”

Farrakhan stated in his speech — given at Morgan State University, a black college located in Baltimore, Md. — that violence was justified in response to the decision not to indict officer Darren Wilson and peaceful protests are only in the interest of “white folks.”

“We going to die anyway. Let’s die for something,” the radical figure told the crowd to roaring applause.

He even said the parents of teenagers should teach their kids how to throw Molotov cocktails. “Teach your baby how to throw the bottle if they can. Fight,” the minister advised, and then imitated throwing the explosive device.

Farrakhan argued that violence was justified by the “law of retaliation” HE claims is in both the Bible and the Koran.

“In this book, there’s a law for retaliation,” he said, while holding up what appeared to be the NOI version of the Koran, and repeated, “A law for retaliation.”

Farrakhan believes white people will only start listening to black concerns through violence against whites.

“As long as they [whites] kill us [blacks] and go to Wendy’s and have a burger and go to sleep, they’ll keep killing us,” the self-proclaimed minister said. “But when we die and they die, then soon we’re going to sit at a table and talk about it! We’re tired! We want some of this earth or we’ll tear this goddamn country up!”

Farrakhan also criticized President Barack Obama, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and other black leaders for engaging in what he sees as “compromise” and being out of touch with young African-Americans. He believes they are doing the bidding of “white people” by trying to tell protesters in Ferguson to remain calm.

“Tonight in Ferguson everybody is on edge. White folks have never been on edge after they killed a Black man. Tonight they’re on edge; so on edge that our president has come out from behind the curtain to ask young Black people: ‘Cool it. That’s not our way.’” Farrakhan said. “I heard you, Mr. President; and I asked myself a question: What brings you out of the shadows?”

Farrakhan then attacked Eric Holder and black religious leaders for telling “black youth to be peaceful.”

“And you preachers: Your day of being the pacifier for the white man’s tyranny upon black people, you got to know they’re [young blacks] not going to hear you anymore!” Farrakhan declared to standing ovations.

He continued to go after Obama and how he has not gone to “wicked” police departments and demanded they stop killing minorities.

“Why the hell don’t you stand up and tell them that your killing of Black youth and Brown youth is not going to hold no more,” Farrakhan said.

As long as it is not YOUR business, it is just collateral damage? So, what you are saying is that the destruction is OK, because if black people burn down white businesses and a few black businesses get hurt in the process the end justify the means?...In other words you support the destruction of neighborhoods and businesses just as long as it is not YOUR neighborhood or YOUR business...

And in your warped little mind that is a perfectly sane thought process?

Yuh no see the 'nunsense' in which yuh speak?

Michael Brown's stepdad sorry he yelled, 'burn this m**f** down'




Michael Brown’s stepfather has apologized for his response to the Ferguson grand jury decision.

On Nov. 24, the night it was revealed that a grand jury would not indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of Brown, Louis Head was caught on camera yelling “Burn this motherf—er down!” and “Burn this ***** down!” before violent protests broke out around the city.

Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said Monday there would be an investigation into whether Head intended to start the riots. Law enforcement sources say that he is unlikely to be prosecuted, according to CNN.

Head apologized profusely for the tirade Wednesday.

"I was so angry and full of raw emotions, as so many others were, and granted, I screamed out words that I shouldn't have screamed in the heat of the moment," he said in a statement to CNN's Don Lemon. "It was wrong, and I humbly apologize to all of those who read my pain and anger as a true desire for what I want for our community.”



Head said he was being unfairly singled out for causing the riots.

"But to place blame solely on me for the conditions of our community, and country, after the grand jury decision goes way too far and is as wrong as the decision itself. […] The last thing I truly wanted was to see it go up in flames. In spite of my frustration, it really hurt to see that,” he said.

A law enforcement analyst told CNN that proving Head's outburst started the riots would be too difficult.
