"...laws"

I found this online handy list of helpful instructions for Negros, and similar persons. Make a copy, and review it constantly. Btw I always wondered how many Colored persons other than my sister cousins come here. Well if you're there read this,...it will 'not' save your life. However it will explain why you're being killed for no apparent reason. Happy Kwanzaa.

"...it all comes down to not resisting arrest.
don't resist arrest.
also, don't put your hands up.
don't stop resisting arrest if you've already given the ...impression that you maybe possibly were briefly considering slightly resisting arrest and then thought the better of it.
by then it's too late.
don't walk to the store to buy skittles and ice tea.
don't use your hands to defend yourself
if, while walking home, unarmed and on foot, a creepy cop-wannabe stalks you with an SUV and a loaded gun.
don't play your music while pumping gas.
especially if there's a white man around who might not share your particular musical preferences.
don't defend yourself.
don't commit petty misdemeanors.
also, don't mind your own business and
don't obey the laws.
that won't help neither.
don't do drugs.
don't sag your pants.
don't speed.
don't drive a car.
don't question authority.
don't question a white man or any part of the white power structure.
they ARE the authority.
don't show too much deference to white authority either.
that'd just seem fishy.
are you up to something?
basically, just don't.
don't be.
especially,
don't be a black male American.
seriously, what were you thinking?
this IS America we're talking about, after all.
don't plead for mercy.
don't plead for your life.
don't expect to breathe.
and if you don't like it,
well for god's sake,
don't go looting and destroying property!
that is a privilege strictly reserved for white college kids after the football team either wins or loses
(it don't matter) --
or for the white people of old-timey Boston;
because never mind your dead sons,
the ultimate injustice is having to pay taxes on tea.
and while you're busy not looting,
don't protest either.
don't call for justice.
don't call for unity.
don't "play the race card."
don't "make this political."
and don't expect more from the police.
don't expect more from the justice system.
don't expect justice.
don't expect more from your country."

David Finton I have to say, as your basic prototypical, government issued privileged white guy, I'm beginning to think that that advice applies well to me, too. My point is not to belittle the validity of anyone's experience, especially as a non-white person. I simply think that this country is becoming an authoritarian society; one in which the citizenry as a whole is viewed as only having value to the extent that they are cogs in the machine. And those cogs better not show too much wear; better not generate a lot of friction and heat; better not clash or chatter.

Sidney Smith You're right. In just seeing what's happening around the country it seems we're all the system's Ni**ers now. Cruel injustice is now more evenly spread out. The militarized police forces around the country are at war,...with the people. More, and more 'all' the people. That said some are getting shot in the face more than others. This from tradition, and habit. We remember a few years ago when you couldn't go online without seeing videos of unarmed black men being shot dead for nothing. I think video interest has shifted to robot football since. However this doesn't mean the killing has stopped. Just the robots are more fun to watch.

Geneva Hagen The main objection of white southerners to racial equality is the horror of not having anybody below them in the pecking order. It doubles the competition for bad jobs.
Seriously. I knew one redneck who went home and blew his brains out after a Black ...See More

Sidney Smith So far white guys aren't being shot dead for having a tail light out. However this may change as the militarization of all the police forces continues.
