You wouldn't believe her name. But she's an earned doctorate.
An American woman with a funny name is now a professional at the trade of medical.
You might want to believe this but a woman named Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck became a doctor.
The mother of one earned her PhD in higher education in Wisconsin. She was through relentless bullying and taunting. She even blamed her mother for the ridiculous name. However she embraced it and overcame obstacles.
Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck.
The Milwuakee Journal Sentinel chronicled Vandyck's achievement. She said that her mother Maggie Johnson picked out the name and believed it would take her around the word. She also has two sisters who were named Kimberly and Robin.
Despite people dogging on "ghetto names," Vandyck she made an opportunity to ignore the hate and focus on achieving that goal.
"I've grown into my name because I am a strong woman. I've had to be."
She left home at 15 years old, graduated from high school and went on to earn her college and master's degree.
She vowed early to get her doctorate.
The Vandyck last name was earned by her marriage to Fredrick who supported her throughout her journey. Her former name is Marijuana Pepsi Sawyer.
She also said that she doesn't smoke marijuana or drink Pepsi just in case people were asking.
Remember Raven-Symone was then a host on The View. She made the comment that she wouldn't hire any woman who had a name as "Watermeloneshia."
The far-white often attack women of color for having names that aren't common to their agenda.
This week the junk food media was talking about O.J. Simpson joining Twitter to post his thoughts on America. Since he joined Twitter he has obtained over 800 thousand followers.
So here's Simpson posting on social media. He shares his thoughts on issues and of course some folks obviously can't help themselves but troll the hell out of him.
The first thing I want to set straight is this story Pardo (who was not my manger) is talking about all over the media regarding me & @KrisJennerpic.twitter.com/tZ9EJd4qxF
Taking an early look at fantasy football. @PatrickMahomes was my clear #1 but with @cheetah status still up in the air I am debating @bakermayfield or @TG3II. What do you think? Am I missing someone?
Someone yesterday asked me what the best advice I ever got was. My mother said to me before she passed “Orenthal, you can’t let people & mean speech set you further away from G-D.” That was the best advice I ever got and BTW, she was the only who called me Orenthal.
The former football star turned reality star was convicted of theft in Las Vegas. He was sentenced to the iron college for 9 to 33 years. He served his nine years with good behavior and was released.
Many remember the O.J. Simpson trial. The so-called "Trial of the Century" was 25 years ago.
The famous Ford Bronco chase where Al Collins drove a suicidal Simpson on Interstate 405 in metro Los Angeles. The police chase was seen by over 95 million people.
Simpson was accused of killing his estranged wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
Simpson was found not guilty of the crime. But the families of Nicole and Ron sued Simpson and he was forced to owe up nearly $35 million in punitive damages.
Simpson was convicted in 2007 after he and his friends confronted a shady auctioneer who was selling his property. Simpson and his friends came armed. They forced the auctioneer to return his stuff and they left.
Simpson was soon caught by the Las Vegas Metro Police and charged with aggravated robbery. A judge threw the book at him. She sent him to Moonlight, Nevada and Simpson remained there until his release.
Since his release, Simpson has maintained a somewhat low profile. He cannot leave the state unless given an order from his probation officer. He still maintains time in Las Vegas. He goes golfing, fishing and spending time with his family.
The Goldman family continues to slam the decision to allow Simpson free. Their vendetta against Simpson has also created negative publicity towards them.
Fred Goldman is considered a racist by many in the Black community.
Kim Gardner, the St. Louis prosecutor for the city is not playing any games when it comes to corruption within her department. She already sent a warning to the St. Louis Police Department.
Don't bring that shit to my office!
There's 59 names of St. Louis cops who have actively shared on social media anti-Black, anti-Muslim and politically bias bullshit.
The Plain View Project exposed the names of the cops who have actively posted racially offensive nonsense on their social media. These are the cops who may have stopped, detained, arrested or killed while in uniform.
They have probably pulled over people of color from the city, the county, the state or out of state.
Say if I was driving in St. Louis with Ohio tags and I was in a neighborhood that cops suspect it as crime-ridden. They pull up behind me and I drive a few blocks. As I pass the stop sign (or light), they activate their lights and I had to proceed to stop. They both come to the window and demand my license and registration. I ask why I was stopped in the first place. They may tell me or they'll keep bullshitting an excuse to why I shouldn't talk while they're inspecting my vehicle. I tell them I don't consent to a search and they conduct a Q-and-A session to why I am in the neighborhood and they make the claim that it's known for drugs, prostitution and gun violence. I tell them it has nothing to do with me and I say "am I free to go?" when they pressure me to relent. They bring a third police unit and search dog and then tell me that I'm detained. I tell them yet again I don't consent to searching my vehicle. They place me in handcuffs and place me in the back of the cruiser. The dog makes a "hit" and the police tell me that they've found drugs in the vehicle. Even though I said I don't do drugs and I don't have nothing inside, they'll bullshit an excuse to arrest me or issue a citation. They would normally say failure to yield, turn signal or improper lane change as their reasons to an unlawful pull over.
These things happened in St. Louis.
These cops were likely white. I am a Black male and I am angry or scared they could shoot me.
That's what residents in the city are facing.
Gardner said that officers are permanently banned from presenting cases for warrants. Others will be reviewed to consider conditions of reinstatement.
The Plain View Project studied thousands of Facebook post from St. Louis and seven other jurisdictions as a part of a project that began in 2017.
This month, the group found that 43 of 3,500 accounts noted by the group were tied to metro St. Louis, with 22 of those involving current officers and 21 belonging to former officers.
Some had support of cops roughing up suspects. Some had Confederate Flags. Some were calling Black History Month racist.
This is an example of American law enforcement using their privilege to abuse the rights of people of color.
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS KILLED GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
American photographer gets an iconic picture of a terrorist plotting an attack.
This kookspiracy called QAnon sparked a terrorist to open fire on a federal court house in Dallas.
QAnon is sparked by far-white agitators like Alex Jones and Sean "Softball" Hannity. They made the claim that a shadow branch of the federal government is plotting to oust Donald J. Trump through secretive means. They believe that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others are responsible for the chaos that plagues Trump.
They want them locked up for corruption. They are unaware that Trump is playing them for fools.
The far-white once again is motivated to attack.
This terrorist was fatally shot after exchanging gunfire with federal officers outside the Earle Cabell Federal Building in Dallas, Texas.
A Dallas Morning News photographer named Tom Fox managed to catch the picture of an armed terrorist who was hell bent on killing many.
The terrorist was wearing a black mask carrying the rifle of choice and AR15 running from the sidewalk near the courthouse to a parking lot across the street.
The terrorist reportedly served in the U.S. military for less than two years before he was discharged.
He was on social media plotting. He even said that the "fucking storm was coming."
The terrorist said it best, he believed the government is corrupt and he wanted to protect his assets.
"The storm is about to pay for kicking me off my porch. I don't know how much longer I have, but the fucking storm is coming. However I'm not without defense. I'm fucking ready. Let's do it."
The social media post is been scrubbed from Facebook.
The terrorist was shot after a brief exchange with the feds. He was shot twice. They tried to revive him but he died on route to the hospital.
Now the feds are trying to unearth a cache of information to why this reasonable "NICE GUY" managed to become the latest mass shooter.
As I've said many times.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Chris Matthews comes to Dayton to discuss how Trump won America's rust belt.
Chris Matthews finished his taping in Dayton, Ohio. The MSNBC agitator came to the heart of America's rust belt for a candid discussion with residents who voted for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.
Matthews is doing a tour of the Midwest. This is one of the key regions that Republicans need to secure in order for Donald J. Trump to continue his legacy. Trump carried Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The states went to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. They went to Trump in 2016.
Montgomery County is a swing county. Trump won this county by six points. He visited the Dayton region twice whereas Clinton never visited. It made a huge difference.
Matthews talks to local officials and members of community for a rousing discussion on whether Trump or the Democratic nominee can win Ohioans.
Dayton has suffered from the loss manufacturing, a local hospital, many restaurants and grocery stores and technology firms.
It was also the area hardest hit from major tornadoes.
Patrick Shanahan is sacked. The Acting Secretary of Defense was fired after The Washington Post reported on him being involved in a domestic violence dispute.
Trump's pick to replace Jim Mathis was sacked this morning. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is fired out the cannon after allegations of domestic abuse surfaced.
The feds are investigating him. He withdrew his nomination today.
The Washington Post published a report detailing a violent encounter in 2011 in which Shanahan's son attacked his mother with a baseball bat.
William, the 17 year old son of Shanahan brutally beaten his mother with a baseball bat.
Shanahan rushed to defend his son in the days of the attack. Weeks later, Shanahan wrote a memo to prepare for his son's initial appearance in court. Dad claimed his son acted in self-defense.
Shanahan said he regretted writing the memo and never intended for anyone other than his son's attorneys to read it.
He withdrew his nomination claiming the details of this brought "a painful and deeply personal family situation from long ago."
Trump posted on social media the firing.
Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan, who has done a wonderful job, has decided not to go forward with his confirmation process so that he can devote more time to his family....
"Quite frankly, it's difficult to relive that moment and the passage was difficult for me to read. I was wrong to write those three sentences," he said. "I have never believed Will's attack on his mother was an act of self-defense or justified. I don't believe violence is appropriate ever, and certainly never any justification for attacking someone with a baseball bat."
Trump's White House has the most turnover in modern history.
Shanahan previously served as deputy defense secretary; before that, he worked for more than 30 years at Boeing. In March, the Defense Department announced it had opened an ethics investigation into allegations that Shanahan regularly touted Boeing over other defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin, while serving in an official government capacity.
The Pentagon's inspector general cleared Shanahan of the allegations in April.
With tensions rising between the United States and Iran, the Trump team are planning on how to keep a full blown war from happening. Thanks to that asshole Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States walked way from the JCPOA. That lead to more tensions between the Middle East and the West.
American blogger claimed that Cuba Gooding, Jr. ran his finger up her butt.
The actor who is best known for his roles in Boyz N' The Hood and Jerry McGuire turned himself last week. The actor, 51 is accused of groping a woman while at a New York bar. The New York Police Department Special Victims Division and the Manhattan Criminal Court have made charges.
The charges could carry up to 10 years in the iron college and make the actor join the Offender U club under TIER II.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
There's another accuser who shares her story about meeting the entertainer and he ran his finger on the ham bone.
Claudia Oshry is an American blogger who created Girl With No Job and The Morning Toast made the allegations that Gooding inserted his finger into her butt.
"At the end of the day --- like, I don't know if I've ever considered myself to be, like, a victim of sexual assault because I'm not. There are people who are real victims that I would never compare myself to them. But yes, when I was in high school -- I was fucking 16 years old -- Cuba Gooding, Jr. put his finger up my butt, and I felt wild. Like, I felt -- I don't even know the right word is. And now, It's just become, like, a part of who I am. It's a part of my story.
Mark Heller, the lawyer for Gooding said, "Never heard of her." He said that his client denies he recognizes or remembers Oshry at all.
"Cuba says the incident never happened and he had no recollection of this individual either," said Heller.
Oshry, who also tours as a comedian, added that she has since worked the experience she had with Gooding into her acts. She said that a "Jerry McGuire" star becoming too hands-on with them at bars and clubs.
Cuba Gooding, Jr. smiles as he leaves the courtroom. He claims that he never groped the victim.
"At least once every show, someone who comes up to me, they're like, 'Oh my God! Me and my friends were at a club and the same thing happened to me' or 'the same thing happened to my friend.' This is not the first time that I've heard, but this is the first time I've heard that police are involved."
So that means, at age 16, she entered a bar and saw Gooding in a intoxicated state. The entertainer would probably grope women when he's under the influence of alcohol.
Mind you, is Cuba Gooding, Jr. in underage teen clubs or adult clubs? Or is Claudia Oshry using fake IDs or her mother's connections to get into places.
What the junk food media continues to leave out is the fact that Claudia Oshry is the daughter of Pam Geller, a notorious white extremist who promotes anti-Muslim propaganda.
Claudia, Jackie, Olivia, and Margo Oshry are a group of sisters in New York living the millennial dream, running viral Instagram accounts and ruthlessly curating their online images.
Pamela Geller has built a career off leveraging the media to incite outrage with her racist, Islamophobic comments. She is widely regarded as an alt-right troll; the Southern Poverty Law Center described her rhetoric as "hate speech."
Claudia Oshry's mother is Pam Geller. This woman is a dangerous figure. She has promoted anti-Muslim propaganda and encourage individuals to arm themselves when it comes to Muslims.
Claudia Oshry married her longtime boyfriend Ben Soffer a couple of years ago. They asked their friends and family to leave their phones at home. They wanted only pictures taken from wedding planners and kept the ceremony private without much fan-fare. The reason to why they wanted to keep it hush hush was the fact her mother was there. Oshry knew that if Geller was spotted, her career would be ruined. Even she knows her mother is a danger to the nation.
Geller supports her campaign to ban Muslims and proudly promotes Donald J. Trump's antics.
She made a tearful apology telling her fans that she "loves" her mother but isn't really keen on her brand of celebrity.
I want to believe her. I seriously believe her accusations. However, I do want the junk food media to acknowledge that she is the daughter of a far-white extremist.
And for the fact that she claimed she was 16 years old in a bar with a grown ass man only questions why the hell an underage woman ever be in an adult club without proper identification?
American iconic model Gloria Vanderbilt passed away.
Gloria Laura Vanderbilt was an American artist, author, actress, fashion designer, heiress and socialite. She was a member of the Vanderbilt family and is mother of CNN agitator Anderson Cooper.
She died in her Manhattan home with friends and family at her side.
"Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life, and lived it on her own terms," Cooper said in a statement. "She was a painter, a writer and designer but also a remarkable mother, wife, and friend.
"She was 95 years old, but ask anyone close to her, and they'd tell you: She was the youngest person they knew -- the coolest and most modern."
Vanderbilt was diagnosed with an advanced form of stomach cancer earlier this month, Cooper said.
She was famous before she became famous. When she was a young girl, her mother and paternal aunt got into a huge feud over her well-being. Her mother Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt was feuding with Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. They were both disputing the custody and control of the little child's trust fund.
It was called the "trial of the century" by the junk food media and the court proceedings let to sensationalism. Gertrude proved to the courts that Gloria was an unfit parent and lost custody rights.
It was disputed all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court threw the case back to the lower courts and it stood firm that Gertrude was the guardian of little Gloria.
Gloria was the focus of media attention at an early age, dubbed "the poor little rich girl" amid an intense custody battle between her mother and her father's wealthy sister, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Though her aunt prevailed in court proceedings, young Gloria didn't know her well. She considered her nanny, Dodo, her mother figure.
"As a teenager she tried to avoid the spotlight, but reporters and cameramen followed her everywhere," Cooper said. "She was determined to make something of her life, determined to make a name for herself, and find the love she so desperately needed."
Modeling was an early interest, and at 15 she was photographed for Harper's Bazaar, the first of many appearances as a fashion model. She'd go on to appear in Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines and to pose for renowned photographers, such as Richard Avedon.
When she was 17, she married Hollywood agent Pat DiCicco in 1941, against her Aunt Gertrude's wishes. She'd later concede she knew it was a mistake at the time.
At 21, she took control of a $4.3 million trust fund her father had left her. She divorced DiCicco two months later and promptly remarried -- this time, to conductor Leopold Stokowski, who was 63 at the time.
"I knew him for a week and married three weeks later," she told Cooper during an interview.
Asked if her friends thought it was weird that she had fallen for a man four decades her senior, she said, "Didn't matter to me."
A fashion icon.
Vanderbilt made her mark on American fashion by debuting what was arguably the first designer denim brand. After working as an actress, starting in the ‘50s, moving from theater productions to television dramas, Vanderbilt experimented with textile and home design in the ‘70s, also designing some dresses. This ultimately led to a partnership with Mohan Murjani of the Murjani Group to design blouses and then to launch her eponymous Gloria Vanderbilt fashion brand in 1976 with a line of name-brand women’s jeans, identified by her handwritten name embroidered on the back and a signature swan logo on the inner front pocket that winked at her first theater role in The Swan.
Anderson Cooper and Gloria Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt, who began modeling when she was a teenager, served as the face of the label. The jeans were marketed with a $1 million television ad campaign, touting their perfect tapered fit that catered to women’s curves, making sleek designer denim a chic wardrobe staple. The jeans were also showcased by female stars such as Debbie Harry of Blondie (who made an ad for the brand) and on sitcoms Three’s Company, Mork and Mindy, and Dynasty. The line ultimately expanded to include additional women’s apparel, footwear, jewelry, fragrance and home accessories.
In 2002, the Jones Apparel Group acquired the rights to Gloria Vanderbilt Apparel Corp. Three years later, the company issued a reboot of the original ‘70s designs with an ad campaign featuring supermodels Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss and Daria Webowy.
“Gloria was an icon,” Tommy Hilfiger told The Hollywood Reporter. “I met her in the early '80s through the Murjani family who owned the Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans business. We were launching the Tommy Hilfiger business with Murjani around the same time. She was a lovely, sophisticated woman with warmth and kindness.”
Far-white agitator who survived mass shooting in Parkland dismissed from Harvard.
The Turning Point USA agitator who is a survivor of the Parkland massacre was dropped from Harvard University. He was caught saying NIGGER some years ago.
The Parkland shooting survivor and pro-Second Amendment activist said that Harvard University rescinded his acceptance as a result of racist remarks he made before the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Kyle Kashuv is the guy who often shows up to counter March for Our Lives activists David Hogg and Emma Gonzalez. He was there when the shooting happened on February 2018.
He became a vocal opponent of March for Our Lives. Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens of TPUSA enlisted Kashuv as their ambassador for high school recruitment. He left the organization in May.
Owens left as well in May.
He has appeared on Fox News, Newsmax, Conservative Review (BlazeTV) and other outlets promote bullshit. He often plays the victim when he's called out for his rampant bullshit peddling.
Now Kashuv is exposed a racist troll. I knew he was but I held back seeing he was a victim of a mass shooting. But since the far-white often calls Hogg a "crisis actor" and sent him death threats, it's about time Kashuv becomes a distant memory.
Kashuv wrote an apology for his remarks and posted a screenshot of what appears to be a June 3 letter from the Harvard Deans of Admissions rescinding his admission.
"I believe that institutions and people can grow. I've said that repeatedly. In the end, this isn't about me. It's about whether we live in a society in which forgiveness is possible or mistakes brand you as irredeemable, as Harvard has decided for me. I have given up huge scholarships in order to go to Harvard, and the deadline for accepting other college offers has ended. I'm exploring all options at the moment."
Harvard accepted his apology but stand firm to keeping his theatrics out of the prestigious school.
Diamond & Silk, Candace Owens, David Clarke, Kevin Jackson and Kyle Kashuv became famous after promoting Donald J. Trump and his brand of nationalism. They get airplay whenever progressive activists become involved in America's latest controversy.
Disgraced cop Scot Peterson faces trial for negligent homicide.
In other Parkland news, the former Broward County deputy Scot Peterson was indicted on seven counts of neglect of a child, three counts of culpable negligence and one count of perjury stemming from the mass shooting in Parkland that left 17 students and staff members dead.
The fired Florida deputy sheriff appeared in court to face a slew of charges stemming from his alleged inaction in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The suspect could face 70 years in the iron college. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Chris Matthews is filming in Dayton, Ohio. He is addressing how residents of this community voted for Trump.
MSNBC agitator Chris Matthews comes to the heart of the rust belt. He comes to Dayton, Ohio, a city that has 135,000 residents. The county seat is Montgomery County. The county that voted twice for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 but for the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election voted for Donald J. Trump.
Matthews will be hosting a town hall at 10pm on the cable network. He will be interviewing individuals who live in this community and get the honest take on whether Trump or his Democratic opponent could win the state in the 2020 election.
The Deciders will be taped for Hardball.
Matthews will be taping at the Mendelsons nic-nak store.
Trump has a 65% chance of winning reelection.
There's a 75% chance Trump will carry Ohio in 2020.
Things could change if the Democrats come back to their senses. I mean the party has played nice for years and kind of ignore the Rust Belt. How many times has Hillary Clinton came to Dayton, Ohio during the 2016 election?
I don't know, not too much. She felt that she could carry the state with the Northeastern region.
Montgomery County is now considered a swing county. Folks who often vote for Democrats voted for Republicans. I mean they voted for John Kasich and Mike DeWine.
The city's mayor Nan Whaley is a Democrat.
Trotwood, Ohio is one of the Dayton suburbs that was destroyed by the tornadoes.
Dayton continues to struggle despite Trump's promises of "Making America Great Again."
Dayton has lost a major hospital, had to close up schools, lost three grocery stores in a city that is considered a food desert, suffered major destruction from two EF-4 tornadoes and had no significant change in population since the great exodus of white folks to the suburbs.
Dayton is a segregated city. The river and Interstate 75 divides the community.
Many in northwest and west Dayton suffer the worst. With the lost of Good Samaritan Hospital and the decline of manufacturing, the city has become a beacon of blight and despair.
The only things that Dayton has going are the Hollywood Gaming casino, the Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the Dayton Dragons baseball club and the Dayton Aviation National Historical Park.
There's not much I can say about the community itself. I wish things could change but that's heresy.
The city is caught between Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis and Toledo. Where the only area in the state that is significantly growing is Columbus with Cincinnati slowly expanding it's metropolis.
Columbus is the state capital and largest city. The population of Columbus is 947,000 residents.
Cincinnati is the third largest city in the state. The population of Cincinnati is 302,000 residents. The city's metropolitan area which includes parts of Indiana and Kentucky has a population of 3.5 million residents.
Trolls react to the Phoenix couple being abuse by the police. I respond to the bullshit.
Everyone has a say in the controversy surrounding the Phoenix metro police allegedly using excessive force in the arrest of a Black family.
In our last posting, I addressed Dravon Ames and Iesha Harper being verbally and physically assaulted by two white cops. A handful of people filmed the encounter and it went viral.
The family sued the Phoenix Police and it's got America talking.
With camera phones being used, witnesses observed two white cops threaten the family with potential violence. You see the white cops brutally detain the father and mother while a witness grabs their children.
Once cop said that he will put a fucking cap in her ass if she don't surrender.
Yet, here on Journal Da La Reyna, we have trolls who have an opinion that clearly goes against what those cops did. The obvious remarks from the trolls is, "well they were shoplifting from the store."
Uh, let the comments speak for themselves.
Grab a magnifying glass and your highlighter, here comes the trolls and another response from me to the trolls who visit our blog.
The police were a bit rough, sure, but how many times do we see the guy pull a gun on Cops, there's thousands of videos that show guys pulling guns on Cops...
They committed multiple crimes, they evaded police, they drove on suspended license... I mean, damn, wake up people!
How are the Cops supposed to treat criminals?

KW said...
Conveniently left out of everyone's complaints are these points: 1) it wasn't only the child that stole something. One of the ladies also stole something. 2) when the police FIRST approached these people THEY FLED IN THEIR CAR!!! 3) when police finally caught up with them THATS when they were angry and treated the people badly.
IF you resist arrest, flee the scene, make police chase you, etc, THEY WILL BE ANGRY AND PROBABLY WILL NOT TREAT YOU VERY NICELY. That's your own fault. Try not committing crimes next time, following laws and obeying police commands, not fleeing the scene of a crime, etc...
Let me remind them that this is an apologetically Black blog. This blog deals with issues facing the community, the government, and the junk food media.
I'm very clear when I post online that I am tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality and economic standings. I am very critical of conservatives and the blatant hypocrisy and moral grandstanding. They clearly ignore the obvious. They often use the old conscientious thinking that often brings out their racism.
Dravon Ames and Iesha Harper are getting death threats and harsh criticism from far-white trolls. The couple sued the Phoenix Police after last month's brutal pullover video. Two white cops with guns drawn threatened to kill the family.
You claim that the child stole something. Okay, so you believe that the parents allowed their child to steal. Children are naive. They make mistakes. That kind of stuff happens. One of the ladies stole something. Big fucking deal. A measly theft of small items. The company is insured. It's not a fucking store worker's responsibility to stop shoplifters. The management can call the law all they want, but if they didn't commit armed robbery, then it's not a big deal to cops. Cops have bigger issues other than petty theft.
You claim that they resisted arrest. Okay, so why were they brutalize arrested? Why were the actions on the camera condemned by the mayor and police chief? Matter of fact, the video speaks for itself. This was unprofessional and quite frankly scary for the family and those filming it.
You claim that they evaded police. Okay, so why did they stay in place when they had guns drawn?
You claim that they had suspended licenses. Okay, why weren't they charged with that?
You claim that the cops are being treated like criminals. Okay, why are they being paid on our taxpayer dime to treat the people they're supposed to protect like that? Matter of fact, how many cops have done criminal acts while on or off-durty? Quite frankly, you can't answer that because you want to believe they deserve that type of treatment.
Fuck you!
You claim that others pull a guns on cops. Okay, they were unarmed. So you're assuming they have firearms on them. In Arizona, you're allowed to carry firearms in public or in your vehicle. Are you telling me that people of color aren't allowed to carry firearms in public or concealed in their vehicles?
Cops drew their guns at a Black family. A woman had to grab the mother's children because they feared the cops would kill them.
So you really telling me that if they had no license, they evaded police and they could of had a gun on them, they deserve the verbal and physical abuse? They deserve the treatment?
Right. You really have no answer for that trolls. It's a damn shame though. Folks like you aren't realizing the seriousness of this.
We are taxpayers who have to pay these cops salaries. We are the folks who have the First Amendment right to film police activity, disrespect cops, trolls, the president, Congress, local leaders, Democrats, Republicans, agitators in the junk food media, etc. We are the folks who have the Fourth Amendment to not be subjected to unreasonable search and seizures without warrants. We are the folks that have a right to call out racism and condemn it throughly.
Me and LeReyna are awake. We don't need you're wake up calls! We ain't in the business of being awaken to an ongoing issue in the community of color. If we're conveniently leaving out something, it's the fact you've left out your fucking compassion for human beings.
If you have an opportunity to strain your eyes, I want you to understand the grievances of concern trolls.
As usual the concern troll blames the victim. Hey, no one is perfect. No one can live in a glass house without a stone being thrown at it. I mean haven't you had a traffic violation or even an encounter with the law?
Witnesses see a cop brutally abuse a motorist.
"We ain't holding a gun to your head telling you to read our blog! Why you keep punishing yourself?"
I am not planning on going anywhere. I am grateful to LeReyna and will continue to help make her blog grow and succeed. Whether we gain support or criticism, we appreciate the good readers who view our blog.
THIS IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN ISSUES BLOG. AS EXPECTED, WE WILL EXPECT COMMENTS FROM TROLLS. THESE TROLLS OFTEN FIND OUR BLOGS TO SOW DISCOURSE AND RACIAL ANGST. THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LOSERS WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR PATHETIC LIVES.
This country is more polarized, less religious, less educated, less motivated, highly overweight, and bloodthirsty. We hide behind platitudes and run on narratives about who's more right than factual.
We are driven to discourse by the junk food media and social media. I cannot stop it. I am not in the business to stop it. However, I do have control over how I read things on this blog. I have semi-control over what is posted on this blog. I am not planning on changing my views on Trump no time soon.
Do us a favor. Ignore the trolls. Don't feed them. Use them as an example to keep pushing harder for police reform. Use them for the opportunity to move the discussion forward.
Continue to read at your own peril.
We will not stop.
We will not be moved.
We will fight for the rights of people of color.
We will hold Donald J. Trump, Congress, bad cops and those associated to them accountable.
We will not waste our time worrying about you or those who think like you.
We all have lives outside the blog. Why don't you move past our blog and find a blog that supports your views?
