Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

COPS DID NOTHING TO HELP? #whytheracecardisplayed

Debate on gun legislation in Arkansas escalated on March 8 when a GOP lawmaker tried to silence a black female senator. (Arkansas Senate) Debate on gun legislation reached a crescendo at the Arkansas State Capitol on Wednesday when a senator fervently denounced a bill that would make it easier to use lethal force in the name of self-defense. The bill, sponsored by three Republican state senators, would remove a clause from the current law that required a “duty to retreat” in self-defense cases. Previous efforts to push similar “stand your ground” laws in the state, under both Democratic and Republican legislatures, have all failed within the past decade, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports. On Wednesday, Sen. Stephanie Flowers (D) spoke up when some members of the state’s Judiciary Committee tried to limit debate time on the issue — delivering an ardent monologue to explain why “stand your ground” laws are dangerous, particularly for people and communities of color. #whytheracec

In January, some students at Sunset Middle School linked arms in between classes, forming a human chain, and then barred non-white students from passing. The incident happened less than one month before two of the school's social studies teachers, who are no longer employed by the district, handed out an assignment that asked students to pretend their families owned slaves.  Parents in the district say insensitive and racist incidents are a regular occurrence, and they are asking the district to do more to make it inclusive for all students. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tenn... #whytheracecardisplayed

Brian (Waterhead Bo) Bennett So who was the biggest black kingpin of all time? Just how do you measure that? Money, volume of dope, power, cultural impact? Perhaps it was Frank Matthews… you can learn more about him in my documentary “The Frank Matthews Story” link. But in terms of documented transactions that we know about for sure, who was convicted in court: One man stands alone. Brian “Waterhead Bo” Bennett. Bennett and his Colombian Partner, Mario Villabona, were eventually convicted of moving nearly l5 thousand kilos that they talked about on certain wiretaps between December of 1987 and November of 1988. Some of the loads were as large as 1000 kilos and cheaper than $9,000 dollars each wholesale. That’s 1500 keys a month for nearly a year. And that’s just on the wiretapped phones. Who knows how much he really sold in total. Claims are made about this one and that one selling more, but 15,000 keys sold for sure is the most we know about for any black dealer. Waterhead B
