Mike Brown’s Mom Is Taking Her Son’s Case to the UN in Geneva

Lesley McSpadden, the mother of the 18-year-old boy whose death at the hands of a Ferguson police officer in August sparked weeks of protests, is going to Geneva, Switzerland next month to speak about her son and other victims of police brutality in front of the United Nations.

The trip — which was recently made public by organizers and promoted under the tagline “Ferguson to Geneva” — is meant to make a case, to as wide an audience as possible, that both Brown’s killing and the militarized police response to protesters demanding justice for him, are a matter of human rights.

Laurence Fishburne talks black-ish with Rosie Perez and Whoopi Goldberg

He unapologetically went in and Rosie wasn’t ready lmaoo.

Rosie was giving that, “you can’t say that in front of white folks,” nervous laugh

Nah it was more so an “oh shit he’s actually saying it in front of white folks” laugh before she broke out in her “fuck it” laugh lol

this guy killed people’s children and the media finds the most innocent, clean-cut photos they can of him to almost make us feel bad for a kid who had so much potential if only he hadn’t gone and SHOT HIS CLASSMATES. when black kids have done nothing wrong and are killed by cops, we’re shown the most incriminating photos that can be dug up so people can feel like they “deserved it.” it’s disgusting. stop.

This is #Whitecultire.

And this is only a few out of the thousands. T.V. has always been “White-ish” but once that’s either pointed out or POC do the same damn thing, these bigoted white people want to pull the race card or bark at these POC for doing the same damn thing they’ve already been doing. 

like… ALL of their faves are white as hell.

diversity meant adding white gays to the main cast… 

still does apparently

like…

and it’s been going on for fucking ever

HELL…

stfu Donald and anybody else on this bullshit just because the titles weren’t “White-ish”.

i was on fucking tumblr when fuckboy was coined

it was never a slur for gay or trans men and it really speaks to me that black language is always targeted as abusive or particularly misogynist, or particularly problematic

like the way white women use black speech patterns and aave to mime abusice and aggressive male behavior—which helps frame black men as particularly violent and misogynist

and what is tumblr good for but spreading misinformation like wildfire, so now these fucking posts about fuckboy being a slur are popping up like dasies, and conviniently no one ever reblogs the explanations that show it isn’t, so

Soooo this happened while I was in the middle of watching Scandal & How To Get Away With Murder. Apparently Shane made a video about me and now my mentions are filled with children calling me names and even comparing me to Hitler because I didn’t drop everything to watch it. I’m not joking. Forgive me if I find this whole thing extremely convenient and disingenuous. My online presence is measly compared to Shane’s. I know this. Which is why I don’t @ him on Twitter and have never mentioned him by name on my channel. He knows that he has a massive audience, which is why I think this is an extremely calculated move to mention me by name in a video, thus sending his fans to do his bidding. This whole thing is just laughable and clearly a ploy to scrub any negative press in light of his movie being released. I’m not falling for this mess. Not at all.
