occupyallstreets: Rights Group Challenges NYPD’s Stop And Frisk Method, Claims Racial Bias Police in New York City disproportionately stop black and Latino people even in low-crime areas, leading to a “two-tiered” policing system that divides along racial lines, according to civil rights campaigners. A new analysis of NYPD figures by the New York Civil Liberties Union challenges the police’s assertion racial disparities in stop-and-frisks reflect the geography of New York’s high-crime areas. Using the department’s figures, the report revealed that in six out of the 10 precincts with the lowest numbers of black and Latino people in the city, black and Latino citizens represented over 70% of those stopped (92% in April-June 2011). In all, there were more stops of young African American men than the total of population of that group in the city. Nine out of ten of them had committed no crime. Source

Commemorating Howard Carter’s birthday because of his part in helping ransack a sacred ancient Egyptian tomb and scattering their STOLEN treasures all over the world and away from their homeland in Africa. 

Yes. Let’s commemorate that.

Equal rights under capitalism is a fantasy. So long as class division exists, class war will exist. So long as class war exists, the less privileged minorities will be oppressed and exploited.

Guerilla Poetry

“I wanted to convey that our current very narrow and extreme version of Capitalism, which is based on over-simplified Reaganomics and relies on the wealth of the investment banking class “trickling down” to everyone else instead of investing in free healthcare and free education, which we could do very painlessly, is a historical mistake. And I wanted to convey that Occupy is good and positive and should be listened to and not marginalised.”
