To Rain of Havock: Update on the Ayiana Case
To Rain of Havock: Update on the Ayiana Case: "Police who carried out a raid on a family home that left a 7-year-old girl dead over the weekend were accompanied by a camera crew for a reality television show, and an attorney says video of the siege contradicts the police account of what happened."
Thank you, Raina,
Detroit police have done a dirty deed by covering their own members in the shooting of the innocent girl. I hope the officers involved are fired and in jail and that Ayianna's family sue the department. It's a disgrace to the family and the community they swore to protect. Even 7-year old children of color aren't exempt from police brutality. May Ayianna rests in peace.

Arizona: For Whites Only?
Arizona: For Whites Only? | The Atlanta Postby R. L’Heureux Lewis
Recently, I penned a piece discussing the need for Black folks to join in with the fight against Arizona’s racist immigration bill SB 1070. My goal was to challenge Black folks, to think beyond the immediate immigration bill to the larger injustices that are taking root in Arizona. In the past few weeks, Arizona has continued to make their intentions clear. Whether you agree with SB 1070 or not, the state of Arizona has begun a march towards making the state free, open and inhabitable to Whites and closed to people of color, particularly Latinos.
Arizona is now pushing a package of policies that serve to malign, discriminate against, and reduce the freedoms of non-Whites, citizens and non-citizens alike. The signing of SB 1070 into law has increased the legal discretion and support for thinly veiled racial profiling. This week, the governor signed into law a bill that eliminated Ethnic Studies at the primary and secondary grade levels. Arizona’s Department of Education has been lobbying for the removal of teachers with strong accents or whose grammatical structure is found to be unacceptable. It would be naïve to suggest that these policies are simply about the safety, quality, and fairness as they’ve been pitched; instead they represent a concerted attempt to cleanse Arizona of ethnic influence.

Aboriginal News Group: FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall
Aboriginal News Group: FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall: FBI loses trial against former American Indian Movement member Richard Marshall | Vancouver Media Co-op: Richard Marshall found not guilty of Anna Mae Pictou Aquash murder
Vancouver resident John Graham's trial set for July 6

An all-White jury in Rapid City, South Dakota, took less than two hours on April 22 to return a not-guilty verdict in the trial of former American Indian Movement (AIM) member Richard Marshall (of the Lakota Nation) in connection to the murder of fellow AIM member Anna Mae Pictou Aquash.
Aquash was a Mi’kmaq from Nova Scotia and a skilled organizer and warrior with AIM who was targeted and threatened with death by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). When her body was found on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in February of 1976, the FBI tried to cover-up her identity and true cause of death by having her buried as an unknown “Jane Doe” who had supposedly died of exposure, despite an obvious bullet hole wound to her head. A second autopsy requested by family members revealed the murder. At the time, an FBI-supported death squad made up mostly of reservation police officers had killed some 60 members of AIM and traditional Lakota people on Pine Ridge. Other death squad murders had also been passed-off as death by exposure by the FBI’s pathologist and were not investigated.

Open Mic Friday: Question: If Black Women Are So Ugly… « The Obsidian Files
Open Mic Friday: Question: If Black Women Are So Ugly… « The Obsidian Files: "…Where’d all the *lightskinned* Black people come from?
This is the question I always present to those White guys in the Manosphere who swear up and down that Black Women in toto are just sooo hideous, etc. Now, I’m not knocking any Man’s personal preferences. Whatever suits ya, knock yourself out. But it seems like in the odd nexus of the Game and HBDspheres, most White guys seem to go out of their way to hate on and diss Sistas. Which to me seems downright irrational, given the fact that millions of lightskinned Black folks do indeed exist."
