If you keep killing us, there won’t be any black people left to stand for the National Anthem — and I know how important that is to you.

About 99.9999% of the people who have told black people how they should protest have disappeared & been silent on #TerenceCruthcher

Who do we regard as criminal? The white woman? Or the black man? Constructions of criminality from long ago are at work. #TerenceCrutcher

He was reading.

Wonder how many people would say those few Eagles players are being disrespectful but the guy on his phone isn't. https://t.co/DEH7l2YD6f

jawn (@jawnes12) September 20, 2016The saddest part of this story is that #KeithLamontScott's son got off that school bus this evening only to find his father dead. I'm livid.

"That looks like a bad dude."
That's what an officer said about unarmed #TerenceCrutcher before he was shot down.

holding court
President Barack Obama, his daughter Sasha, an unidentified friend and Shelia Johnson, owner of the Washington Mystics, watch as the Tulsa Shock play against the Mystics on August 1, 2010 in Washington, DC
Report: The crowd at the arena roared when the scoreboard showed the president’s arrival. Obama chatted during the game with Mystics owner Ted Leonsis and team president Sheila Johnson …. Obama and his party left the arena a few minutes before the end of the game, which the Mystics won, 87-62 ….. After the game, Mystics player Marissa Coleman told reporters: “The only two times I’ve noticed who was courtside was when LeBron (James) was here, and obviously today. And today’s was even worse. It’s just kind of a surreal thing to look over and see the President of the United States sitting courtside.”
