Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 year old vigilante murderer walks free. This verdict has set the precedent for fascist paramilitary groups around the country to be able to kill protesters without any consequences. This is hardly the first time that the police have relied on paramilitary right-wing violence to put down resistance movements. In local news, a street will be named after police brutality victim, Akai Gurley who was shot and killed in the Pink Houses by officer Peter Liang in 2014. After years of struggle, activists have fought to have a street named after Akai to enshrine the struggle for justice for Akai in history, and to make sure that the city never forgets what happened. Akai Gurley's Aunt, Heretencia Peterson joins the show to talk about the bittersweet victory of the street naming.Thanks-taking is coming up and around this year's dinner tables it's important to remember that native struggle is not in the past - but happening right now.

Hello, A special episode this week with filmmaker Ursula Liang about her new film Down a Dark Stairwell. It’s out now on PBS and we hope everyone who listens to the show watches this nuanced, thoughtful and brave film. I (Jay) first saw Ursula’s work in 9-Man, a film about sports in Chinatown. Since then, I’ve followed her career carefully because what she does — deep community reporting, thoughtful portrayals of the concerns of all types of people, and the care with which she makes her films — exemplifies everything good about journalism and documentary filmmaking. This is a film about many things, but at it’s core, it’s about how two communities deal with a police killing. And through verite footage and intimate interviews, it shows how people both come together and split apart while trying to navigate problems that fall well outside the easy consensus. On the show, we talk a lot about the need to go beyond rigid identity categories and simple, doctrinaire explanations. If you want to watch what that looks like, watch this film. The film is available in both Chinese and English — both versions available to stream here. —As always, thanks for supporting the show.

We promised ourselves we would finish this season by the end of 2020, as it was inspired by the events of 2020. And here we are: episode 10 of our Saturday School semester on Asian American interracial cinema. We started from the 70s/80s and slowly worked our way up to the present. Ursula Liang's documentary "Down a Dark Stairwell" had its premiere in March 2020 at the True/False Film Fest, right before the lockdown, and has been doing the festival circuit all year. It'll be available to watch on PBS in April 2021. It's about an innocent Black man Akai Gurley who was killed by a Chinese American police officer Peter Liang in 2014. Over 100 Black men have been killed by the NYPD in the past 15 years. The only NYPD officer who has ever been convicted is a Chinese American rookie cop that shot into a dark stairwell. As Asian Americans, it was hard for us to watch Chinese/Asian American organizing emerge in full force yet devolve so quickly, chaotically and unnecessarily into warring factions - one deemed racist, the other deemed race traitors or worse. Does the film leave us with any hope that Asian Americans can fight for our communities, without dismissing other communities of color? Maybe only from looking back at pioneers in history and imagining where we can still go in the future. But it's one of the most powerful documentaries of the year. We learned a lot from making this season, every time we revisited a moment where work was being done to find interracial solidarity, even if there were and will continue to be numerous missteps along the way. We hope you took away something useful from our season too. Happy new year from Saturday School, and here's to being more prepared for whatever 2021 brings.

Hey everyone. I have a brief update to share about the show and some thoughts in light of the recent events. But before I do, I want to say loudly and clearly that Black Lives Matter. As an Asian-American, I think about the way anti-Blackness is embedded throughout Asian culture and society. I think about how this anti-Black sentiment showed itself when Asian-American communities rallied around NYPD officer Peter Liang for murdering Akai Gurley. I think about the affirmative action lawsuit against Harvard that Asians supported as being driven by the same anti-Black sentiment. And of course, there was the Hmong-American police officer standing by as George Floyd was murdered. If there is one thing that has driven me to create this podcast, it is the belief that true freedom cannot come at the expense of Black lives. I think silence in anti-Black violence will not give Asian any true place in a racist white supremacist world. The lacking of self-awareness and propagating anti-Black and anti-Brown rhetoric just so certain Asian can get ahead will not lead to a better place. My heart goes out to everyone protesting on the streets and doing the hard work to elevate Black voices and not black squares.Regarding this show, I did not release an episode last week. When I sat down to write the intro, no words came out. My podcast and voice seemed trite. I took it as a sign to not release my episode if I had to force words out when they were not ready. I also felt the voices that needed to be heard were Black voices. I then thought about this in relation to remaining silent and don’t have a clear answer. When I set out to make this podcast, I wanted to be able to confront my privilege as a Chinese-American cis male who went to college to study art and is able to travel to residencies while moving through the art world. I wanted to keep talking about race because I don’t believe one simply becomes “woke.” Talking about race is a lifelong commitment that never ends. I am forever learning and figuring out where these conversations fit within the larger picture.In lieu of a real episode, I posted on my website a list of resources for anyone interested. There is a lot out there and many of these materials are waiting to be used. Feel free to share and continue the discussion about how white supremacy and racism continues to pervade every aspect of our lives.So that’s the update. Again, thank you to everyone who has been supportive of this show as I couldn’t have gotten here without all the guests and listeners. I’ll resume my episodes starting next week. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy, and good bye for now.Image credit: @jerrygogosianhttps://www.instagram.com/jerrygogosian/Donations to Organizations:Black-Owned Bookstores (Publishers Weekly)Black Lives MatterBlack Lives Matter Los Angelesblacklivesmatters.carrd.coI Run With MaudJustice for Breonna TaylorJustice for George FloydMinnesota Freedom FundNational Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)Bukit Bail FundReclaim the Block: fund our broader movementReadings and other resources:ANTI-RACISM RESOURCESWhat Is an Anti-Racist Reading List For?Critical Reading Google Drive FolderModernity + ColonialityThe Case for Reparations by Ta-Nehisi Coates20+ Allyship Actions for Asians to Show Up for the Black Community Right NowExtended Learning:Justice in June Google DocOver the course of the month, you will have spent 5 hours intentionally learning how to be an active ally of the black community.

The list never stops. Black and Brown Americans murdered by police at wildly disproportionate rates, and a white America which refuses to surrender our power and privilege to stop this from happening. And in the middle of the latest national response to the murder of George Floyd comes Juneteenth. It’s a commemoration of the day in June when slaves were freed at the end of the Civil War.

Justine Damond is "the most innocent victim" of a police shooting that her lawyer has ever seen. This quote comes from an attorney who worked with Philando Castile's family to get justice for Mr. Castile. Justine Damond was an innocent victim. No one disputes that. But what of all the other innocent victims? What makes Justine the "most innocent" among of group of innocent victims of police brutality? How is it that she is more innocent than Tamir Rice who was playing with a toy gun on a playground in an "open carry" state? Or Aiyana Stanley-Jones, a small child who was asleep on a couch in her own home?. Or John Crawford III who was examining a BB gun for sale in the fake gun aisle at Walmart? Or Akai Gurley, the man that NYC Police chief Bill Bratton dubbed "a completely innocent man" who stepped out of his apartment, only to be shot (by accident) by a rookie cop? Why are they less innocent than Ms. Damond? Where is the "Blue Lives Matter" crowd? They always rush to the defense of the officer when the dead person is Black. Why has the media erupted into self-righteous contempt for the Black Muslim officer who shot Justine Damond? They usally dig up any information that might help the officer. But in this case, they turned against the officer..They demand that this "killer cop" be brought to justice. *Now* they want police accountability. But the media and many Americans seem completely at peace whenever an innocent African American or Native American is gunned down curbside. The media sheds no tears for any innocent Black victim, not even 7 year old Aiyana Jones. They ask no questions when the courts repeatedly affirm that Black victims' lives do not count. The media and many white Americans remain unbothered when innocent Black blood is shed. But for Justine Damond, justice WILL be served. Believe it! Tues, July 25, 2017. 6 pm PT

We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people.

Thompson, the first black district attorney of Brooklyn, New York, died this week. He was a husband, a father, and 50 years-old. Regrettably, many have used this time to deprecate Mr. Thompson's work, voicing dissatisfaction with the Peter Liang case. Liang, a former NYPD officer, was found guilty earlier this year for the 2014 killing of an unarmed black male, Akai Gurley. Liang was not sentenced to jail time. Thompson's critics ignore his years of counter-racist work, which includes convicting the White savage who anally raped Abner Louima in 1997. Thompson also stopped prosecuting low level cannabis offenses in his jurisdiction and " agreed to overturn 21 convictions and re-examine more than 100 in one of the most ambitious efforts of its kind." Because of his labor, some prisoners who were caged for decades were released. Mr. Thompson wasn't the only black public servant having a tough time in New York. Black firefighters launched a $150 million law suit against the FDNY, charging racial discrimination. In the Caribbean, Haiti continues to suffer from the calamity of Hurricane Matthew.

On the Shootings of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, & the DPD Officers

Sermons - Apostles Brooklyn

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 10, 2016 16:25


I am interrupting our usual worship time this morning. This is somewhat intentional, this is an intentional interruption in what we usually do. We experienced an interruption in our week this last week as we heard the tragic news of Alton Sterling’s death in the early hours of July 5th, and then quickly followed by Philando Castile’s death on the evening of July 6th, and this was followed by the death of five police officers on the bloodiest day for law enforcement since 9/11. One of those officers was a man named Officer Michael Smith, a member at a church in Dallas that my friend helps pastor, a Godly man described by many. The New York Times headline this morning is “America Grieves, Tense and Weary”. I think that very much encapsulates the sentiment that we feel today as a nation, what we feel today in this room. We grieve. We are tense, and we’re weary. We as Christians, we as followers of Jesus are not going to ignore that grief or that tension; that’s not our calling. Silence is often interpreted as passive affirmation by those who are suffering. If you just lost a loved one and your friends don’t reach out to you, that is grievous as we navigate those things. Now I will expand that on a much larger term when it comes to the systems and structure of our nation. Talking about these things doesn’t bring about tension, it exposes tension. Dr. King said it this way: ...we are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.So in light of that tension, that grief, that weariness, I do believe with all of my heart, that the redeeming message of Christianity, the hope of the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, is the best healing balm there is for all of us. Not just as individuals, but on a corporate, systemic level as well. We as Christians believe that God created humanity with diversity, and this is because God himself is diverse. God has always existed as three persons in one: Father Spirit and Son. And so when he created us in his image he didn’t create one gender, he created two genders. Male and female. Two genders together in his image. Both genders with dignity, as image-bearers who reflect the very image of God.So just as God has always been diverse, so he created us as human beings to represent him in his own diversity. Fast-forward through history to the world marred by sin and self-centeredness. We see that God is not pleased with our sin. God is a god of justice; sin does not go unpunished. But one thing we see all throughout scripture, all throughout the Hebrew Bible, all throughout the Old Testament, one thing that God is most frustrated by is the mistreatment of his image-bearers. He’s against the mistreatment of those that he has given greater dignity to than any in his created order. And so one thing that offends God most is when image bearers are marginalized, when they’re pushed out--when they’re treated as less than image-bearers. All throughout the old testament we see God highlighting that he stands with the fatherless, he stands with the widow, he stands with the poor, the marginalized, the sojourner, the immigrant; he stands with those that are treated with less value, less worth; those who are not given power or dignity. The heart of God is consistently with the marginalised and the oppressed and the disadvantaged of our world. God sides with image-bearers that are not treated with the dignity of image-bearers. To those who follow God, he expects that they have the same heart…Prov 29:7- “A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.” So we should know the rights of the poor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the disadvantaged. Prov 21:13- “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.” If we close our ears to the needs of the poor, the writer of Proverbs here is saying God won’t hear our prayers. Again and again the nation of Israel, the nation of Judah, were judged because of their mistreatment of the poor, the marginalized. Of injustice among them. God expects his people to side with image-bearers who are not treated with the dignity of image-bearers, those who are treated as less than human, those of less value than other humans.So when a father is shot without due process and the right to trial, we must care. When a cafeteria supervisor traveling with his girlfriend and daughter is shot and killed while reaching for his wallet and not being given medical attention, we must care. When police officers who are guarding a peaceful protest and protecting the right of these 800 or so individuals to fulfill their First Amendment rights to gather, to assemble, and they’re shot down by snipers, we must care.No matter the reason or cause behind actions, any image-bearer who is killed should cause us to care. What we witnessed this last week are not one-time issues, not one-time events. This is a tragic trend among us. African American men are more likely to be arrested, incarcerated, executed or murdered than their white peers. According to the FBI, black Americans are disproportionately more likely to be stopped, arrested, and killed by police. Just a 2015 study of last year showed that young black men are nine times more likely than any other Americans to be killed by police officers. When I’m pulled over while driving, I’m concerned about whether or not I’m going to get a ticket. I don’t fear for my life. That’s a sign of privilege for me. The conversations that my friend CJ had to have growing up about what he should do in a similar situation were entirely different from what my parents had to instruct me on. The reality of scripture is that there not only is individual sin, there is corporate sin. Israelites individually sinned, the nation of Israel together also sinned. There is systemic sin, and this here is a systemic issue. It’s not a recent issue, it didn’t start last week. This is generations in the making, centuries in the making. I’ve got to own this, my own generations. I’ve got ancestors on both sides of the civil war. This is generations in the making and this not going to be fixed by some quick, silver bullet. This is a life-threatening wound that needs to be addressed, that needs to be healed. So when we see in all of this, when we see a march just before our service go by, when we see a hashtag flash across our screens saying Black Lives Matter, the reality of scripture is yes, it’s true, black lives do matter. Black lives should be afforded the same worth, value, and dignity as any other image-bearers lives. Without question. In our country they are not, and something here needs to change. And while I can’t possibly feel the pain as sharply as my black sisters and brothers, or those of other racial or cultural minorities, I am absolutely committed to mourning with them, and standing for justice with them. “Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.” “A righteous man knows the rights of of the poor, a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.”But can legislation fix this? What about all of this unpunished injustice, generations of unpunished injustice, what about our own hearts’ propensity to selfishness and sin, or to distrust those who are different than ourselves, what about those things? In Jesus Christ justice and mercy meet. God declares all this systemic and individual selfishness and racism, and silent bigotry and mistreatment of others that we do, to be so evil that it demands death. But he loves us so much that he took it upon himself. God set aside his privilege and he entered into our world, dressed like the marginalized and disadvantaged image-bearers that he loves so much. And by his unjust death on our behalf justice is served and we can be forgiven. Ultimately Jesus came to show us that we are all poor, we are all broken, we are all marginalized, we’re all lost and we have to be saved, we have to be saved by someone other than ourselves. Jesus doesn’t just save individuals, he redeems systems and structures and cultures and peoples. It’s through the forgiving death and resurrection of Jesus that all races and socioeconomic levels and cultures can be fully reconciled. We can be made family by the very love of God. One day when Jesus returns and when he makes all things new, we will worship him with every tongue and every cultural expression of music and dancing that the world has ever known. He began our story creating us with diversity and he will love us in the midst of our diversity forever. So we won’t move on as the 24-hour news cycle moves on, as it picks up on other sensational events. We as Apostles Brooklyn will not. We are going to care about Philando Castile and Alton Sterling just as we care about Michael Brown, and Eric Garner, and Akai Gurley, and systemic sin in our city, and our country, and our world, and of privilege, and racial and cultural reconciliation, because if we are saved in Jesus and devoted to our God, we as Christians should care more than anyone else. We have to be more committed than anyone else. So as we continue this long journey by God’s grace I’m going to encourage us with three things:1) We are going to weep with those who weep; we’re going to have compassion. We are going to grieve together. If you don’t feel the pain that so many feel, seek understanding. Ask questions without responding. Listen first. Show compassion and care as Jesus has shown you. Grieve with those who grieve. In the coming months and years we’re committed as a church to continue this. To talk about this. To open doors for conversations for greater understanding and compassion…2) Seek justice. As Jesus set aside glory to come and serve, so we get to leverage our own resources and privilege and lives to meet needs, and give generously, and to love and serve the marginalized, and to love as the gospel empowers. So we must stand with the revealed will of God. Stand with truth, and stand against unjust mistreatment and dehumanization of image-bearers. We’ve got to participate as good citizens who seek the welfare of our city and nation. Legislation can do a lot, we should pursue good justice, but it can’t fix hearts. And so our third thing, and probably our most important thing, is that we’re going to:3) Pray. We’re going to pray for peace and reconciliation between races and cultures and socio-economic levels in our city and nation. We’re going to confess our own apathy or bigotry or divisiveness or prejudice, whatever it is, we’re going to confess that freely. We’re going to seek to forgive those who have sinned against us; we’re going to seek understanding in prayer; we’re going to pray for compassion and love; we’re going to pray for unity within our church; pray for perseverance; to seek justice no matter the cost; pray for transformation among our justice system; pray for protection, and care, and wisdom, and discernment for our law enforcement officers; pray for strength in fighting temptation to be apathetic toward this injustice. So we’re going to start with that now. We’re going to do a corporate lament this morning. Laments are found all throughout the scriptures. They are more than just feeling down, they are sitting in it. It is more than a hospital visit; it is a funeral attendance. So we’re going to start with a corporate lament today. I am going to invite all of us to stand up in this together. This is an opportunity for solidarity among us. Whether this hits close to home or whether this is something that you were hardly even aware of this week we need to be in this together. Father we come to you today with heavy hearts. The killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile and the subsequent killings of 5 police officers unite our hearts in grief. Forgive our individual sin, our corporate sin, the systemic injustice of our nation and the distrust and division that exists among us. Lord God, heal our world.We look to our own hearts and see indifference, ignorance and fear. We are hopelessly lost apart from your Son.Lord God, heal our broken hearts. Today Christians of all races and cultures will gather in separate churches, engage separate communities and display division instead of expressing the unity that you bring us as one church, one body of Christ united with one Spirit.Lord God heal our broken churches.Father God through your son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit move in our hearts and minds to act justly, love mercy and walk among you. Amen.

The unarmed black male was shot and killed by a Chinese-American NYPD officer, Peter Liang. Earlier this year, Liang was convicted of manslaughter, but was not sentenced to jail time. Thousands of Asian Americans across the country launched massive protests in support of Peter Liang, suggesting that he was being scapegoated and was also a victim. Ms. Dang has consistently asserted that Liang should be held accountable for killing a US citizen.

First Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Natalie Cole, Dr. Delbert Blair and Maurice White all died at the beginning of the year. Now, musical prodigy Prince passed away suddenly at the age of 57. Questions surround his cause of death and the value of his estate; Whites again are clamoring to display their regard for a dead black person - who notoriously compared himself to being a "slave" to White music magnates. Speaking of slavery, Whites announced that counter-terrorist and black liberator Harriet Tubman will be the new face of the U.S. twenty dollar bill - black enslaver, White Supremacist and former President Andrew Jackson will be relocated to the back of the bank note. Speaking of Racist elected officials, criminal charges have been filed against several White Michigan officials for the poisoning of the predominantly black city of Flint; Governor Rick Snyder was not one of the officials indicted. Speaking of accountability, former NYPD officer and convicted killer Peter Liang was sentenced to zero days in jail for the 2014 shooting death of Akai Gurley. While black people die world wide with few tears or adequate redress, Whites spent much of the week hand-wringing news from the Centers For Disease Control, which reports that the life expectancy of White Women declined. Unsurprisingly, even in during the current rough patch White chics still outlive black males by approximately a decade on average. #BlackMentalHealth INVEST in The COWS - http://paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

Wherever you look, ignorance, hate, and injustice are in full view. In the last week, two trans women were murdered: ShanteThompson, 34, of Houston, Texas on April 10, 2016.  And Keyonna Blakeney, 22, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland on April 16, 2016. After allegedly arguing with officers, Wakeisha Wilson, 36, was found dead in her jail cell at the LAPD detention center on Easter Sunday. Her family was informed three days later. The cops say it was suicide. Peter Liang, the former NY police officer who was convicted of shooting "total innocent" Akai Gurley to death has been sentenced. Chicago mayor Rahm Emmanuel's task force has determined that the Chicago Police Department has a history of using excessive force against minorities, perpetuates a code of silence and has "no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color." Hot on the heels of North Carolina and Mississippi's recent anti-gay legislation comes the passage of Tennessee's anti-gay counseling bill which will allow medical professionals to reject treating LGBTQ patients based on "sincerely held principals." Not to be undone, Michigan state senator Tom Casperson has introduced anti-trans restroom legislation. A 12 year study by Northwestern University and published in the American Journal of Public Health contradicts the popular stereotype that Black youths do more drugs than White yourths. Indeed, they do much fewer drugs, but disproportionately account for the majority of arrests and convictions. All this and more. Tuesday, April 19, 6pm Pacific

Spring has sprung and several U.S. states have seen this as the perfect time to sow the seeds of discrimination and oppression. North Carolina passed a vicious anti-LGBTQ bill, HB2. It was introduced and passed, all in one day! NC Attorney General announced he will not defend the "shameful" law. Hot on North Carolina's heels, Georgia passed the anti-gay "Religious Freedom" bill. On Monday, Governor Nathan Deal vetoed the bill as he declared he would. Inmates in New York are routinely denied feminine menstrual products and supplies. Often this is a tactic used to control and punish. A New York City councilwoman is trying to change this. Kansas students get a $2500 reward if they rat on their transgender classmates for being in the "wrong" bathroom. In Arizona, where polling places have been cut back statewide, the Phoenix mayor has called on a federal investigation into voting problems. Arizona cut back the number of polling places statewide, but for some reason, the city of Phoenix where minorities comprise the majority of the population, got a disproportionately small number of voting stations. In Brooklyn, the DA recommends no jail time for Peter Liang, the police officer who killed Akai Gurley. In Oklahoma, Daniel Holtzclaw, the cop who was convicted of raping 13 black women, is no longer listed in the Oklohoma prison system. This makes it difficult for his victims who filed a lawsuit against him. A scathing report by an independent investigations task force says the the state of Michigan, under the leadership of Gov. Rick Synder, was "fundamentally accountable" for the Flint tap water poisoning. In Brooklyn, Glen Grays was doing his job delivering the mail. He was harrassed and beaten up by four cops for criticising their driving. A 27 year old woman, Loreal Tsingine, was killed by police in Arizona. Tuesday, March 29, 6pm PST

We'll use these sessions to hone our use of words as tools to reveal truth, neutralize White people.

While the global White community coalesces to rebuke and avenge the attacks, Gus thinks this could be a fraction of what's do (chickens coming home to roost) for the Belgian genocide of black people in the Congo. United States presidential candidates recalibrated their talking points to speak to the alleged terrorist menace. While Donald J. Trump and Hillary R. Clinton maintain considerable delegate leads in the chase for nomination, in Arizona another alleged Trump protester was bum-rushed. Only this time, a black male, Staff Sgt. Tony Pettway, was detained for cracking the noggin of a White man, Trump dissenter Bryan Sanders. Speaking of police, Peter Liang, the former NYPD officer and convicted killer of Akai Gurley, received a recommendation from the district attorney that he not be incarcerated; the Gurley family was "blindsided." New York hip hop icon and A Tribe Called Quest co-founder Phife Dawg died this week at the age of 45. Former mayor of Toronto, crack smoker and Suspected Racist Rob Ford also died. He was 46. Speaking of disreputable public officials, an independent panel concluded that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, state officials and the Environmental Protection Agency once again showed flagrant "disregard for the concerns" and health of the mostly black citizens of Flint. #AnswersForMiriamCarey INVEST in The COWS â?? paypal.me/GusTRenegade CALL IN NUMBER: 641.715.3640 CODE 564943# The C.O.W.S. archives: http://tiny.cc/76f6p

In Cincinnati, the day after police carefully and safely arrested a Caucasian man who brandished his weapon at them and verbally threatened them, the cops killed a black man, Paul Gaston, who was legally carrying a BB gun in an "open carry" state. You surprised? The supporters of former NYPD officer Peter Liang say he was only convicted because he's Chinese. They insist that he be allowed to get off like a white cop would.

Flint, Michigan: environmental racism on display. The powers-that-be have knowingly, and with forethought, poisoned the tap water of the predominately black city since April 2014. This atrocity was recently uncovered and publicized, but no one has yet been held accountable. Water bills continue to be issued and the residents have been warned that they risk losing custody of their children if they don't pay for the poisoned water. The local EPA official quit last week. There is demand for Michigan's Republican govornor to resign. And there are rumors that undocumented immigrants in Flint are being refused the bottled water that has been sent to the area. Environmental racism is real. According to the The Center for Public Integrity, out of "300 complaints filed by communities of color, the EPA have never once made a formal finding of a civil-rights violation." Another black youth has died in custody. Her name was Gynna McMillen. She was 16. The trial of the officer who shot and killed Akai Gurley in NYC has begun. On the day he was shot, Akai Gurley was declared to be a "total innocent" by Chief Bill Bratton. But that doesn't stop the NYPD officer Peter Liang from attempting to avoid criminal responsibilty. President Obama bans solitary confinement for juveniles in federal prisons. Grand jury indicts two anti-abortion activists behind the fake Planned Parenthood videos. In response, Texas doubles down on its intention to completely financially strip the state Planned Parenthood.
