Things black aren't allowed to do in the US

[Tim Cornelis]

It's really frustrating to see so many videos like this come by on my newsfeed. Today, a man having a stroke being tasered and pepper sprayed for 8 seconds. The only thing I can do is make a 'satirical' post about what you are not allowed to do in the USA. I guess, technically, I'm not allowed to do those things either, but it's quite impossible for me to do so.

Did I forget anything?

[Ocean Seal]

I think you forgot quite a few things. You can't ask the police to keep their hands to themselves (Eric Gardner). You can't run in a black area while black (Freddie Grey). I think this is seriously a provisional law. You can't run in a high crime area (read: predominately black) in the city of Baltimore. You can't ask for compassion after being shot while handcuffed (see: Fuck your breath video in South Carolina). You can't play loud music at the gas station. You can't fire a warning shot against your abusive boyfriend who is in your home.
Yeah basically fuck the DA's, fuck the cops.

I also forgot, you can't reach for your driver's license while black.

[Sinister Intents]

This thread is really depressing...

My cousin learned you can't drive while black

[BIXX]

You can't breathe while black.

[Zoop]

Or we could just say that black people aren't allowed to be black.

[Bala Perdida]

You can't wear 'gang colors' either. Also anything that could be interpreted as gang related, like cities and area codes.

Hey... hey guys, I have a black friend. Racism clearly doesn't exist anymore, it was solved during the civil rights movement. *is a white guy living in wealthy suburbs*

That should read, "you can't obey police orders while Black".

Just...you know...don't be black...that is the message

[Bala Perdida]

"I know I'm gonna hear about how hard it is to be black in this country, but I just don't wanna hear it."
Apparently you can't even talk about how hard life is for you because it makes amerikkkan raised idiots 'uncomfortable'. Either that or they just straight up don't believe you and find it annoying.

[Comrade Jacob]

You can't go out with a white person cos some bellend will cry "whitegeNOcide!1!!!!!111!!!"

[mushroompizza]

Black people cant talk about being black.

Go to church.

8. Exist to any degree in the united states.

[Antiochus]

lawl yeah I always found some of the shit your typical white middle class members do that are so abnormally out of reach for minorities.

Take that rancher guy who called up a huge posse to protect his illegally acquired land from the fed. government. Can you imagine if ~200 heavily armed Black men coalesced around someone's foreclosed home? We'd probably use drone strikes.

They did, they didnt use a drone, and there where only a few black people with guns, not 200 of them but yeah, they did; http://www.democracynow.org/2015/5/13/move_bombing_at_30_barbaric_1985

Racist attacks on southern Black churches

By staff

Chicago, IL - In the last 11 days seven Black churches have been burned down. The first burning occurred within a week of the June 17 Charleston Massacre, where a self-proclaimed white, racist terrorist murdered nine Black people. Some of the burned down churches had “KKK” scrawled on their outside walls and investigators have concluded that three churches (Hills Seven-day Adventist in Knoxville, Tennesee; God’s Power Church of Christ in Macon, Georgia and Brian Creek Road Baptist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina) were torched by arsonists.

The fact that these church burnings came quickly in the wake of the Charleston Massacre raises serious concerns about them being acts of racist violence and terrorism. K. Marshall Williams, president of National African American Fellowship of the Southern Baptist Convention and pastor of Nazarene Baptist Church in Philadelphia, called for “…a nationwide outcry and action on all levels of government and society to insure that these acts of terror and hatred toward African Americans cease.”

Frank Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, characterized these fires were as “heinous acts of violence.” He called for the “apprehension and prosecution” of those responsible.

The latest fire destroyed Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopalian Church in Greenleyville, South Carolina. This church was rebuilt after the Ku Klux Klan burned it down two decades ago.

Frank Chapman, Field Organizer of the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression said in a press statement released July 2, “We stand in unqualified and unconditional solidarity with the Black churches, whose places of worship are being desecrated by racist terrorists. We are familiar with the terror tactics of the KKK and other racists hate groups, for they have been visited upon us ever since the overthrow of Radical Reconstruction. These fascists, cowards have always targeted Black churches in the South. That is why we don’t believe these are just random acts of violence. These are deliberate acts of terrorism designed to cripple and destroy our movement. Our response must be one of united action in support of the demands for justice put forth by the Black community and their allies. This is not a time for attacking the religious beliefs of the victims and survivors of racist terror. We must insist and demand that these racist-terrorists be brought to justice.”

There is one thing you're allowed to do while black, which is actively encouraged by white society: go to prison.

Sounds like: X Weirdos in house with guns, cops blow up house with kids inside. (Collateral damage, acceptable.)
Y Weirdos beg cops to shoot them, cops taze them instead.
(Bottom line: Keep Weirdos under control & divided at the same time.)

south carolina erected a confederate flag in the 1960's too protest the civil rights movement after a 36-3 vote in the statehouse this week, tearing down the flagpole will go to the senate for a final vote next week, it is an important symbol, ive noticed alot of leftists especially from overseas don't understand what "the big deal is", but i feel walking past this symbol of hate, is like a jew in modern germany walking past a statue of hitler everyday on their way too work, i feel it is a big deal, and for south carolina the home of the confederacy, the epicenter of white supremacy in america, too take down the flag does symbolize change in america
