I hope you’re still following…
Okay, if you’re still following my journey (and I hope you are)…you’re about to learn that this is the last post I will be completing on this personal blog.
I’ve learned that tumblr isn’t the best platform for personal blogging/style blogging/blogging in general. I will be starting a new blogspot and FORCING myself to stick with it. One of my biggest weaknesses is my “indecisive-ness” and I’m beginning to make small steps to nipping it but please be patient with me.
I’ll be posting the link to my new, new, new blog within a day or two.
I hope you guys are still interested! <3

“WAKE THE FUCK UP. WHY DOES NOBODY CARE?!”
“OBAMA HAS SIGNED THE NDAA INTOLAW!!!! This means that the government can now detain and torture you withouta fair trial. This is completely unconstitutional!PLEASE spread the word!! Let everyone know about this! “
The comments above are comments I saw under this picture when it first came across my dashboard. ^^^
While this law being passed is EXTREMELY dangerous and should’ve never even been considered by congress or the president…stop acting so fucking surprised. The government has been corrupt since the, what I like to call, Native American genocide (notice they don’t like to call it that), we’ve learned about this in school and as we grow older we’re seeing more and more of the governments flaws. In 2011 everybody became a “tumblr political activist” behind their computers, but for as many times as these political pictures have been reblogged is as many times we should’ve been calling our congressmen. I have been calling mine everyday I could since I’ve heard the news. Do you have your senators number/email?….Do you have your representatives numbers/emails? No? Okay, get it, call, and make one step to ACTUALLY being active. Remember, WE put these men in office…it’s our responsibility to hold them accountable. For all that just read this and don’t reach out then you’re just contributing to why laws like this have been passed right under our noses for so many years.
They talked about CENSORING (not even banning) Tumblr and everyone acted like the world was increasingly caving in by the second…but talk about a law being passed that allows MILITARY to detain Americans on American soil and all it’s worth is a reblog and your disdain…no action? I wish the Tumblr would shut down and give the numbers to everyones congressmen on their homepage over this…but that’s not going to happen, why?
A lot of people believe that there’s no point, the government is and ALWAYS will be corrupt but I refuse to buy into that negativity…and for those that do, they should simply move out of this country. Our lack of hope and fight has made passing laws like this way too easy.
Statement from the President on why he signed H.R 1540…take away with it what you please: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/31/statement-president-hr-1540
Assata Shakur, Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Army member was wrongfully accused for the alleged murder of a New Jersey state trooper, named Werner Foerster. Her and her fellow BLA member Zayd Malik Shakur were involved in a shooting leaving her wounded, her BLA brother dead, and one police officer dead. The surviving officer testified that he saw her pull a gun out of her purse but later admitted to lying and not even seeing a weapon. Medical evidence and Assata’s testimony states that she was shot twice with her hands raised in the air showing that she was not a threat. Assata was never convicted of any charges but was sentenced to 26 to 33 years based on her being at the scene if the crime.
Upon hearing the verdict, Shakur said that she was “ashamed that I have even taken part in this trial” and that the jury was “racist” and had “convicted a woman with her hands up”. the judge told the court attendants to “remove the prisoner” and Shakur replied: “the prisoner will walk away on her own feet”.Assata’s treatment was inhumane and un-American. She was left in solitary confinement for months at a time, harassed by police, and beaten almost to paralysis.
Assata escaped out of the maximum security wing of the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey in 1979 and moved to Cuba. She has been living there since 1984.
1969, J. Edgar Hoover the director of the FBI for 48 years declared, “the Black Panther Party, without question, represents the greatest threat to internal security of the country”; he pledged that 1969 would be the last year of the Party’s existence.
No statement was made about any other non black group like the kkk. He felt they were the biggest internal threat to the “country”. What do you think he meant by country?
Till this day the FBI has labeled her as a terrorist and offers a million dollar reward. The fact that they labeled her as a terrorist for nothing and stepped up her reward from 50,000 to 1,000,000 since 2005 is rediculous;this country will never change.
Stay strong sistah they will NEVER find you.
If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow
