I'd like to introduce you all to a man you should already be familiar with.

This is Nat Turner.

"Nat Turner (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an African-American slave who led a slave rebellion of slaves and free blacks in Southampton County, Virginia on August 21, 1831 that resulted in 60 white deaths. He led a group of other slave followers carrying farm implements on a killing spree. As they went from Plantation to Plantation they gathered horses, guns, freed other slaves along the way, and recruited other blacks that wanted to join their revolt. At the end of their rebellion they were accused of the deaths of fifty white people…"

Here's a more familiar image of Frederick "Black Marx" Douglass, social reformer, orator, writer, statemen, and most importantly an escaped slave.

"Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born into slavery in Talbot County, Maryland, (on the state's Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay), and was named by his mother, Harriet Bailey. The plantation was located between Hillsboro[10] and Cordova. His birthplace was likely his grandmother's shack east of Tappers Corner (38.8845°N 75.958°W) and west of Tuckahoe Creek.[11][12] Years later, after escaping to the North, he took the surname Douglass, having already dropped use of his two middle names."

Marcus Garvey said it himself, the greatest boon for the African was American colonial slavery, for if it were not for the odds stacked against the afrikan family dissected by it, there would not be the drive and passion that exists today to overcome it…

And now for sports!!



Dust is finally settling from the damage control blitz after Seattle Dreadhawks lost the Superb Owl against the New England Deflatriots by a touchdown and a brawl erupted during the last two minutes

Here's the play - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb2AcS6Rdi4

The brawl - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocwhriwcCDk

At first glimpse, from the outside in, it doesn't look like much right? Interceptions happen, its just a game, sure, but many Afrikan Americans are up in arms about the meta behind the play call saying that the play was "negligent", and "excessively risky", as well as an attempt to keep controversial Marshawn "Beastmode" Lynch(pic), out of the limelight after a very grim interview where he stated his feelings about not wanting to participate in interviews that tend to get more information that athletes are comfortable revealing:

With this interview leaving many officials "unsettled" at the least, anyone with a history of how United States runs things, there is definitely more depth added to exactly what happened on the field once the play was called, and how tensions escalated to blows towards the end.

There had to be some serious frustration for players already making a guaranteed pay out after the game to break code and risk their careers for the next salary.

I wonder what one of the New England Patriots said to set off the already disgrunted "thuggish" Seahawks' players.

More importantly, what's going on with the subtle racist undertones towards the Seattle Seahawks black players?

While Lynch's not getting to make the game saving play is a little bit more subtle with NFL damage control in full effect:

"or the former USC and Patriots coach, the worst moment was a sleepless Sunday night, which he admitted included tears"

Wait wut….?

Former coach of the Patriots accidentally throws the ball to the patriots defense and what would normally be a rookie mistake anyone can make is causing this Pete Carroll guy sincere emotional discomfort, he's bothered by something and not exactly saying what, but that's just my personal opinion

Enter Richard Sherman.(@RSherman_25)

He's pretty much the definition of "alpha". Ivy League graduate, Compton native, and at 26 is already an exceptionally accomplished athlete. The young aspiring star's future is not so bright, however, the public seems to negatively judge him for his "thuggish" appearance.

After making a statement during a post-game interview targeting a rival player from another team, fans and random white people both began railing into him with tweets that were reminiscent of a /pol/ thread

All because he made this statement

Made towards the dude who did this

That being said, this is entertainment for crying out loud, not much different than professional wrestling. These two dudes have had a "beef" stemming back for seasons.

More importantly, what's with the use of "thug" as shorthand for "nigger"?

Taking a break because researching through all this propaganda is kinda depressing

Bumping with Civil Right Blacktivists you should know

Then there's this lovely chap

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2015/02/06/court-documents-indicate-possible-arrest-in-jeannette-teens-death/

Apparently its just another murder, no need to state the obvious fact that the victim was white, I mean black deaths by white hand still hold the hi-score

Protip: If you're gonna off someone be a bit more subtle about it. Have some class, kid!
