We stand in solidarity with Princeton University Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, extraordinary scholar of race in America, and we condemn the violent threats and ongoing harassment leveled against her. If you do too, please share this post and sign the petition, here: https://docs.google.com//1FAIpQLScKV4oncEBfrFdVe/viewform

On May 20, 2017, Professor Taylor delivered the commencement address at Hampshire College. In it, she spoke movingly about the necessity of histori...cal inquiry, the struggle for justice, the importance of solidarity, and the urgency of hope.

Fox News subsequently targeted Professor Taylor in print and on television on May 28, focusing on an opening remark of hers that President Trump, "a racist and sexist megalomaniac," was the biggest threat to the students futures. Fox succeeded in inciting Trump followers, who have attacked her with racist, sexist, and homophobic speech and vicious death threats.

Professor Taylor, the author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation and the book in progress Race for Profit: Black Housing and the Urban Crisis of the 1970s, is a brilliant and innovative scholar of inequality, segregation, and American public policy. Her meticulous, award-winning research on the history and politics of Black America is a model and Professor Taylor has earned the widespread respect of both her peers and her students for her painstaking scholarship, passionate teaching, and advocacy for a better world rooted in both. We support her whole-heartedly. We reject any effort to silence Professor Taylor or the principled intellectual tradition she represents. We share her unwavering commitment to speak and write truthfully about the state of the nation and the failures of its political leaders to act in the service of justice, equality, and the betterment of our common humanity.

We denounce these acts of racial, gender, and sexual violence and the efforts to intimidate and harass Professor Taylor. Her ideas deserve the widest possible audience, free from threat or intimidation.

'Hostile, Separatist and Crazy': Tucker Battles Supporter of 'Blacks-Only' Memorial Day Party

Daily News columnist and Black Lives Matter leader Shaun King announced Tuesday he is boycotting the National Football League for allegedly blacklisting Colin Kaepernick.

Kaepernick, who started a nationwide trend with his controversial decision to kneel during the pre-game national anthem to protest racial injustice in America, has not been signed by an NFL team since he opted out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March.

I cant, in good conscience, support this league, with many of its pro-Trump owners, as it blacklists my friend and brother Colin Kaepernick for taking a silent, peaceful stance against injustice and police brutality in America, King wrote in the Daily News. Its disgusting and has absolutely nothing to do with football and everything to do with penalizing a brilliant young man for the principled stance he took last season.

King said Kaepernick remains unsigned because ofracism, bigotry and discrimination.

"As a leader in the Black Lives Matter Movement, as a voice in the resistance to Donald Trump, and as a friend of Colin Kaepernick, I cannot, in good conscience, support the NFL any longer. If I did, I'd struggle to look my own son in the eyes or look at myself in the mirror," King concluded.

On "Fox & Friends" this morning, Star Parker, founder and president of The Center for Urban Renewal and Education, argued that NFL teams are staying away fromKaepernick because they don't want to deal with the drama surrounding him.

She said King has a right to boycott the NFL, since we live in a free society.

"However, that said, what we cannot allow to happen is ourselves reduced to mob rule, which is what Black Lives Matter's all about," Parker said. "We battle in the voting booth in a free society."

"Black Lives Matter needs to just get off of the political stage and go about their business [and] lives, and then get out to the polls the next time if they really want Democrats in control."

A firefighter in Eureka, Calif., has filed a grievance with the Joint Powers Authority, the governing body of the Humboldt Bay Fire agency, after he was forced to remove a Black Lives Matter pin from his uniform shirt.

Matt McFarland is a second-generation firefighter, and he told KRCR that he wore the pin from November until March, when Chief Bill Gillespie ordered him to remove it.

According to Humboldt Bay Fires uniform policy, one pin that is fire-service related and in good taste may be worn.

McFarland said that his pin meets that standard.

My pin is without a doubt related to my service as a firefighter because recent political events have created an environment of heightened fear and anxiety among communities of color, and increased distrust of law enforcement. This sentiment is highly detrimental to our ability, as emergency responders, to do our jobs well, McFarland said.

McFarlands attorney said in a statement that banning the pin creates a significant liability for the department because it constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination.

A public hearing on the grievance will take place Wednesday morning at Eureka City Hall.

McFarland plans to have a press conference directly before the hearing.

(ThyBlackMan.com)The plight of African Americans were put on the worlds stage by the group Black Lives Matter. It seems their mission is based on justice for those who are harassed and mistreated by police, which is an admirable endeavor to pursue. Those who support the organization say the organization is about curbing violence against black and brown people.

A former Chicago Police Superintendent, however, says that crime has become greater since Black Lives Matter began to take root in this country.

Who can contest that statement? Ever since BLM has come on the scene to protest police brutality against African Americans, America has become more separate than ever, All Lives CANT Matter, police have been on the defensebut black on black crime is never ceasing, especially in Chicago.

Does Black Lives Matter think that bullying the country will get them what they desire?

On a website (there were a few websites dedicated to BLM) regarding the policy demands from Black Lives Matter there were demands that ranged anywhere for a demand for reparations for past and current harm doing, to the demand for investing in black peoples education, health and safety of black people.

The Black Lives Matter organization is a great way for blacks to come together and brainstorm on how to better their community, but my question is, Why havent these changes taken place long before there was a Trayvon Martin?

Why does the government have to help the black community, when,a s the website says, theres strength in numbers? If there are thousands of BLM supporters, why not have them to make the changes tot heir community that they desire? Its like an HBCU approaching the government for funding for a school built for and by black people. Whats wrong with doing it yourselves, if the whole point of protesting and writing about potential policy changes are to empower blacks to rise up and be more self-sufficient and independent of a government that keeps them marginalized?

Another statement that caught my eye on the website was regarding the decriminalization of criminal activity, because apparently, we all know blacks just cant stay away from the thug life, so why not make it okay for blacks to do what they so value?

Whatever is of value, including values, are desecrated by those in the community, and its always made known public that thats how we communicate with one another.

Human beings have value, but all that is seen and heard from the black community in conversation, song and media is derogatory to the point where its commonplace to feel comfortable calling blacks niggas, bitches, hoes, dogs, sluts, thots, anything but man or woman.

Black women, the heads of the majority of black households, publicly call each other bitch yet demand apologizes for what they consider racism, cultural appropriation and being marginalized in society.

Black men still dont care about individualism or ceasing the glorification of crime and street life to the youth as the normal way to grow up as a black man.

Because theres been generations of dysfunction and a lack of a moral code, the black community has set its standards to match their own more code theyve grown accustomed to which is unhealthy, and in some cases, evil..the lesser power.

My worry is that this whole Black Lives Matter movement will end just like the black panthers movement, with the whole organization crumbling down due to dysfunction and (hopefully not) illegal activityand for not cleaning their house before opening the door and telling everyone to look what damage was done to them.

The black community is the home of black people. Lets clean it up so it doesnt look like the majority of African American neighborhoods. Were trying to prove a point, right?

One of the activists have already been arrested for felony lynching, ironically.

Time will tell.
