Linda Brown (left) passed away. Her father Oliver aided by the NAACP and Thurgood Marshall successfully sued the Topeka School Board in the Supreme Court and won.
Thank you Linda Brown for breaking barriers. The famous child involved in the Brown v. Board of Education [of Topeka, Kansas] has passed away.
Because of the arguments of Thurgood Marshall, the Supreme Court overturned the controversial Plessy v. Ferguson ruling which made segregation legal.
The Brown decision made American schools become more intergrated.
Linda died in Topeka today. Her sister Cheryl Brown Henderson confirms her sister passed away at the age 76 years old.
Linda was a young girl when he father Oliver wanted her to go to a better school in the city. The school board rejected his request on the basis that black and white students couldn't go to school together.
Rev. Oliver Brown and his family.
Oliver sued the board and urged three other families to combine their lawsuits together. The case went from state to federal within two years.
The 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision broke barriers.
It also caused a backlash. The backlash was White flight.
Suburbia grew because of white people getting upset over the decision. They fled the city and grew their communities out of anger towards government forcing integration of students.
This was later enforced through the 1971 Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenberg Board of Education.
Linda and sister Cheryl Brown.
Though Linda managed to change the world, white America found a loophole.
The established decided to leave the cities and created suburbs. Then soon the malls, department stores and discount box stores would soon move towards the suburbs.
It left the cities to minorities and the underclass. It created the Rust Belt in the Northeastern and Midwest.
Donald J. Trump is the whitelash of race relations.
Monday is the day of a long work week. So here is a quick briefing.
Remington, the country's oldest gun manufacturer is on the ropes. The gun industry is taking a hit from Donald J. Trump.
The company filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company is clearly citing poor sales and lawsuits mounting from victims of gun violence.
If Hillary Clinton won, the right and the NRA would be ruling up white men to stockpile weapons of war.
Killer Mike now is "clearing up" his remarks after tap dancing on Colion Noir's NRAtv show. The rap community dismissed him.
Killer Mike fiercely defended the 2nd Amendment and said that he believes Blacks should be armed to protect themselves. Unfortunately, the rapper forgot that the NRA hasn't back Black gun ownership. Philando Castile and Alton Sterling are perfect examples of how the NRA failed in defending their right to be gun owners.
Stormy Daniels told her story and 60 Minutes won the night. The former adult actress tells Anderson Cooper her story and it details how Trump often compares women to his daughter Ivanka.
Obviously many on the right choose to ignore this because they believe Trump cannot do anything wrong.
Trump did one thing right this Monday. He expels 60 Russians from the United States in response to the chemical attack that gravely injured a former double agent and his daughter in the United Kingdom.
In the words of David Hogg to lawmakers, agitators and cynics: Get your resume ready.
Trump's alleged mistress will talk on CBS tonight.
The highly anticipated 60 Minutes interview with Stormy Daniels is the most talked about subject on most news outlets (except Fox News).
CNN's Anderson Cooper will talk to her and the lawyer who bring the allegations to the forefront.
Daniels says that she is willing to talk now that Trump broke his word on the non disclosure agreement.
Trump allegedly had an affair on Melania with Stormy in 2016. While she was pregnant with Barron, Melanie didn't know that Trump played the game on her.
Trump and his lawyer Michael Cohen paid Stormy $130,000 in October 2016, a month before the election.
Trump heads to Washington without Melania.
By the way, Congress passed a sex trafficking bill awaiting Donald J. Trumps signature. Of course, this could affect Backpage, Craiglist and social media sites that advocate the promotion of prostitution.
The victim could sue the websites if they are exploited by the sex trafficker.
That could become a legal issue for the fact sex workers want to sell their services. They believe that Republican and Democratic men are likely the ones using sex workers.
A big dork said to gun violence victims, learn CPR.
The most dorkest person to ever graced America's television said teens should be more focused on learning CPR than marching against gun violence.
Rick Santorum was on CNN's State of The Union discussing the March for Our Lives rally.
“How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that,” Santorum said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
That response earned him a rapid fire from lead protester and survivor Emma Gonzalez.
The rally was held yesterday and it demanded Congress to stop taking money from the National Rifle Association. They said that Congress should be more concerned about gun violence.
The NRA runs out their newest homie. Besides that coon, Colion Noir, the rapper Killer Mike has decided to sell his rap career to the gun lobby.
Looks like I am no longer a supporter or fan of Run The Jewels.
This coon's picnic is the latest example of why the National Rifle Association is tone deaf to the message of the #NeverAgain movement.
In their lame response to David Hogg and the survivors of the Parkland massacre, Colion decides to round out a celebrity who once supported Bernie Sanders. Then he decided to support Jill Stein and Russian trolls.
The rapper never cared about Black gun ownership.
Cause if he did, he would have remembered Philando Castile.
Chump is a spokesman for the NRA.
Castile was a concealed carry citizen. He was pulled over by a dirty cop named Geronimo Yanez. The cop shot him in cold blood and got away with murder.
Oh he remembered.
Still appeared on NRATV with a grown ass man attacking a teen.
Let's get this straight. Killer Mike is an activist. His activism is well documented and recognized. He has been a target of conservative outrage.
Reminder: the world is watching. If you endorse and support money from the NRA, the young voters will hold you accountable and could vote your ass out.
I'm all for it.
And if they boycott Killer Mike and Run the Jewels, I'm all for it.
Jeezy said he done trapping. He is retiring from the rap game.
Jay Jenkins, known as Jeezy is putting the mic down after he releases his last installment of the Thug Motivation series.
TM 104: Trust the Process is the final album release that Jeezy will release on Def Jam. The album hasn't a release date yet.
As the Cold Summer tour comes to a end.. It was inspiring seeing my day one fans since my first album & class TM 101 come out every night. Now class is coming to a end. It's time for Graduation! My Last Album & Final Class: TM104 -#TrustYaProcess ☃️
Jeezy came through the scene as Lil' J and he released his first album in 2001.
The album Thuggin' Under The Influence (T.U.I) was the debut release. It was released independently.
His second album Come Shop With Me would bring him into the mainstream.
He would sign to Bad Boy briefly to join the supergroup Boyz N Da Hood. He would soon leave the group and label. He jumped onto Def Jam and released his commercial debut album Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101.
The album spawned major hits like Survivor with Akon and Go Crazy.
Then seven albums later, he would announce this will all come to an end.
Emma and I created the March for our lives playlist that’s going to be played today before the March in Washington :)

A terrorist killed 17 people before he was apprehended. He will be facing the death card if he is convicted. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Florida passed a watered down law making it 21 years old to purchase a semi automatic firearm. The law also calls for more armed security, firearm training for teachers and background checks.
The right have smeared the Parkland survivors. Now they have a chance to call out Alex Jones, Fox News, and The Drudge Report. They spread bullshit about the survivors.
Rick Scott, the governor and candidate for the U.S. senate is hoping that people forget about the mass shootings under his watch. He hopes people forget about Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis and those unarmed Black people killed by the police.
He will be called out by the protesters today.
The students and teachers will rally in Washington, DC today. From 10am to 5pm, you will see rallies across the country demanding lawmakers from the state and federal level change the gun laws. They want them to denounce the NRA.
The NRA has lost numerous sponsors and their spokesmen Wayne LaPierre and Dana Loesch are under fire for the rhetoric.
They want to boycott organizations and groups that smear survivors of mass shootings
Hogg in particular is not putting up with the bullshit peddling from Infowars and its host Alex Jones. He is hoping that YouTube and Twitter put an end to the right wing kookspiracist and his garbage.
David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez.
Alex Jones and The Drudge Report have targeted Hogg in the past. They have trolled him and the survivors of Parkland in their attempts to discredit the march.
Many of the rallies will address the Donald J. Trump legacy. They will call for young people to know their representatives, register to vote and make it to the polls in November.
The calls for gun control have gotten stronger in the wake of the latest school shooting.
The young girl who was shot by a terrorist in a high school in Maryland has died. The rally will address the death of Jaelynn Willey. The 16 year old girl was a victim of domestic violence. The terrorist killed her and injured another teen. They will address the Austin bombing victim. Draylen Mason was a gifted musician who was killed by an unrepentant terrorist who shipped improvised explosives to the prominent African American communities.
You can view this live.
It's time to hold them accountable. Keep the pressure on the lawmakers.
Republicans can't complain about fiscal responsibility. The party once again rammed through a 2,230 page bill through both chambers. It only had less than 1,000 minutes of time to read it.
The Republicans can not blame the Democrats for spending.
I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.
It killed him. The closing of Toys R Us killed him.
Charles Lazarus passed away yesterday. He died at the age of 94 years old.
The statement from Toys R Us.
“There have been many sad moments for Toys“R” Us in recent weeks, and none more heartbreaking than today’s news about the passing of our beloved founder, Charles Lazarus, after a period of declining health.”
“He visited us in New Jersey just last year and we will forever be grateful for his positive energy, passion for the customer and love for children everywhere. Our thoughts and prayers are with Charles’ family and loved ones,” Toys “R” Us said.
The founder of Toys R Us passed away only a few days after the toy giant filed for bankruptcy and liquidation.
The company leaving will hurt 25% of the toy industry. The tariffs imposed on China by Donald J. Trump will also cause grave effects on the retail industry..
The Toys R Us brand was founded in 1957 in New Jersey. Lazarus started the company initially as a children furniture store. He decided to add a few toys to keep children interested and the idea took off.
Toys R Us became a household brand with the famed mascot being Geoffory the Giraffe who told children that they never had to grow up.
The company sold the best toys and games. The biggest mistake the company made was the decision to go public through an investment firm called Bain Capital.
Bain stockpiled nearly $10 billion in debt for Toys R Us. The company spent years trying to paid off debtors. When they pulled in $6 billion in funds, the remaining was in the red.
Iconic mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe.
The company had to raise prices and it couldn't survive on lower prices as Walmart and Target.
It couldn't survive the delivery giant Amazon.
Children were not playing with LEGOS, Barbie, Monopoly, Transformers and Brats.
They found interest in electronics. It may have killed Toys R Us.
Now as Lazarus watched from the sidelines, he realized that the heartbreak of a company he started fades away. He couldn't take it anymore.
Now 31,000 workers are going to be out of their jobs. There is no more pension, 401K, healthcare and benefits.
Charles leaves behind two daughters and his second wife.
This White House has the highest turnover in modern history. As explained today, H.R. McMaster, the National Security Adviser is fired out the cannon.
McMaster left a public statement thanking Donald J. Trump.
“After thirty-four years of service to our nation, I am requesting retirement from the U.S. Army effective this summer after which I will leave public service," he said in a statement. "Throughout my career it has been my greatest privilege to serve alongside extraordinary service members and dedicated civilians. I am thankful to President Donald J. Trump for the opportunity to serve him and our nation as national security adviser."
One of the so-called adults in the room is being replaced with that retard John Bolton, the former U.N. ambassador and current Fox News agitator.
No surprise here.
Trump appoints this asshole.
Replacing the National Security Adviser with that brush is a stupid choice.
Bolton is a warmongering ass clown.
McMaster replaced Michael Flynn, the former Fox News agitator and military general. He was indicted and convicted of lying to the FBI.
McMaster's departure marks a full week after the recent cannon firing of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
This shakeup leaves the White House scrambling for appointments.
This is could impact the upcoming talks with North Korea. This also could put the nuclear deal with Iran in turmoil.
The commentator who called Barack Obama a pussy is quitting Fox News. He said that the network is tossing Trump's salad.
Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace are concerned that their network is going off the rails. They were attacked by not only the agitators on that network but the loyalists who watch them.
Smith is engaged in a feud with two of the hosts. And one has decided to talk about the family business.
Don't give this guy a pass. He is still a disgusting racist who had the audacity to call a sitting president a dirty slur.
Retired military commentator Ralph Peters called then President Barack Obama a pussy on Fox Business a few years ago.
He was pulled off the television and was iced for 20 days.
Now fast forward two years and a few months later, Peters has decided to call out his employer. He said that Fox News and it's relentless attacks on law enforcement is a disgrace. .
Peters said that the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's scandals are bogus.
Ralph Peters singled out Sean "Softball" Hannity in his resignation letter.
He called Fox News the official propaganda of Donald J. Trump. He said he can't take it no more with the network.
On March 1st, I informed Fox that I would not renew my contract. The purpose of this message to all of you is twofold:
First, I must thank each of you for the cooperation and support you've shown me over the years. Those working off-camera, the bookers and producers, don't often get the recognition you deserve, but I want you to know that I have always appreciated the challenges you face and the skill with which you master them.
Second, I feel compelled to explain why I have to leave. Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to "support and defend the Constitution," and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed.
In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration. When prime-time hosts--who have never served our country in any capacity--dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller--all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of "deep-state" machinations-- I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.
As a Russia analyst for many years, it also has appalled me that hosts who made their reputations as super-patriots and who, justifiably, savaged President Obama for his duplicitous folly with Putin, now advance Putin's agenda by making light of Russian penetration of our elections and the Trump campaign. Despite increasingly pathetic denials, it turns out that the "nothing-burger" has been covered with Russian dressing all along. And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true--that's how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.
I do not apply the above criticisms in full to Fox Business, where numerous hosts retain a respect for facts and maintain a measure of integrity (nor is every host at Fox News a propaganda mouthpiece--some have shown courage). I have enjoyed and valued my relationship with Fox Business, and I will miss a number of hosts and staff members. You're the grown-ups.
Also, I deeply respect the hard-news reporters at Fox, who continue to do their best as talented professionals in a poisoned environment. These are some of the best men and women in the business..
So, to all of you: Thanks, and, as our president's favorite world leader would say, "Das vidanya."
Wow.
Peters was pretty upfront about the network's primetime hosts shilling for Trump.
Shepard Smith is fed up with the opinion hosts ruining Fox News.
You got that cuck named Tucker Carlson blowing on White extremists. Carlson and his nightly show speaks to White extremists.
You got that kookspiracist who is the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media. Sean Hannity is the official softball of the Donald J. Trump legacy. He is doing lip service for Trump.
You also have that cuntservative Laura Ingraham closing out the night with her rhetoric. Her bullshit spreads like manure.
Trump pushes his talking points on Fox & Friends.
Todd Starnes is a white extremist and he is promoted on radio.
Fox News is still the most watched cable news channel. How long will that last?
Unarmed man killed by Sacramento Police. They claimed he had a weapon on him. Turns out it was a cellphone. There were twenty shots fired from the police.
BE WARNED THE VIDEOS SHOWN ARE DISTURBING.
Don't forget that Black Lives Matter still exist. They are still active and they are calling for justice. Just like the #MeToo and #NeverAgain movements, Black Lives Matter continues to push for Washington to do something other than offer "thoughts and prayers."
The city of Sacremento has a population of 512,000 residents. The police force has 73,000 active members.
And in the city of Sacremento, there is a racial divide between the police and its residents of color.
The name of Stephon Clark is trending. The young man was nicknamed Zoe and he was loved by his family and friends. He was a victim of a police shooting.
The Sacremento Police shot him 20 times in his own backyard. He was unarmed. The 22 year old man was unarmed and he was holding his cell phone.
This happened a week ago and it's finally getting national coverage.
The cops were responding to a call of a person breaking into vehicles. I don't know how they assumed a man in his own yard was the guy but rest assured, the right will say he was a criminal regardless.
The spotted Clark in the area. The cops ordered him to drop the object.
They thought it was a gun and then they later changed it to a crowbar.
Regardless, the cops feared for their lives. They shot Stephon 20 times without flinching.
Now the family wants answers.
Before we go into the video, I want to stress to you that the video is disturbing.
I want to also leave a clear message to those reading.
Again, the so called Blue Lives Matter Racists are trying to justify a deadly shooting by claiming that the person the police shot was jumping over fences. So people jump over fences, should that be a death sentence. So he was holding an object. I would understand if the threat fire on cops and they returned fire. But this one fled, obviously no weapon on him if he is fleeing.
With political tensions at its worst, police officers are being stretched to a breaking point. Police officers are now trying to be cautious about using deadly force.
Oftentimes, Black people are told to obey an officer's order. Still gets us killed.
We are told to be fathers of children, members of society and mentors to Black America. Often, the police kill those fathers. They destroy that member of society who had a job, a career, and a future. When conservative complain about the lack of Black fathers, I shake my head in disgust.
The lack of Black fathers isn't any of a white conservative's business. They have no idea what being a Black father is. They are condescending. They are racists. What more can I say?
Two babies with a father.
About 20% of these fathers are either killed by police officers. Just about 25% of Black fathers are either enlisted in the White man's military. About 30% are either separated from their wives or girlfriends. The 10% are deadbeats. The rest which is 15% are locked in the iron college.
How can you mentor Black America, when our fathers tell us to be wary of the police.
Always trust your gut instinct and never allow yourself to be a victim.
We legally obtain firearms. But according to Donald J. Trump, Republicans, conservatives, and the NRA, we're a threat. They want to take away the 2nd Amendment from Blacks, Brown and Mulims. They want to ban foreigners because they fear a Browner nation. They want to keep us on watch but refuse to watch their own.
20 shots to stop a man fleeing. This was excessive force.
Police shootings of an unarmed people of color has become a fodder for Black Lives Matter and civil rights leaders.
I highly doubt the Congress will get the ball rolling on police brutality.
And I assure that cops will get good attorneys, the police union and the backing of sympathetic junk food media agitators willing to see the cop's side. After all, the person they shot and killed has no value in the courtroom. He's dead.
