After A Traffic Stop, Teen Was 'Almost Another Dead Black Male'

This is every parent of an Afro American fear. Will their child be yet another victim of Police violating their authority under the Color of Law? People of color, especially Afro Americans have suffered terrorism by those acting under the Color of Law for centuries. The actions of these cops clearly illustrates no concern of consequences for their actions.



A mothers reaction:
"All she remembers from the moment she saw Landau, she says, "is involuntarily screaming."
Alex Landau after an incident with Denver police in 2009.
One has to ask, where is the Justice? 
"Two of the police officers involved have since been fired for uses of excessive force not related to this incident.
America tells the world its fighting a war of terrorism while its citizens suffers from domestic terrorism. For centuries Afro Americans have suffer systemic egregious acts of injustice at the hand of the state. Its standard form for a public officials to stand before the public and give praise to those who's commit these acts of terrorism against citizens of color.

Get Up, Stand up, Don't Give Up the Fight, Stand Up for Your Rights. The Devil has no Sympathy, He Thrives on Fear, Separation and Feelings of Despair. Stand Up, Deny Him of his Pleasures.

Clinton plan on U.S. drug costs adds to pressure for lower prices | Reuters

The question is will she flip flop under lobbyist pressure by this time next year? The American people are feed up with politicians neglecting citizens in favor of selfish gains.

Clinton plan on U.S. drug costs adds to pressure for lower prices
"In her comments, Clinton focused on the latest example of extreme price hikes. Small biotech Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the cost of Daraprim, an old treatment for a dangerous parasitic infection, to $750 a tablet from $13.50 after acquiring it, the New York Times reported.

"As opposition to rising drug prices grows, long-standing reluctance to introduce price controls in the United States is being challenged. Medicare by law cannot negotiate drug prices. But a recent poll found a vast majority of Americans now believe Medicare should be allowed to push for greater discounts.

Shaq Missed Out on a Million Dollar Deal With Starbucks Because He Lacked Knowledge

In this segment of AfrocatioN Insight, Money is not the foundation of economic success. Highly skilled people are capable Money makers, yet many fail to retain such wealth. We've all heard stories or know of African Americans who has amassed large quantities of money only to end up penniless, void of wealth. This interview with Shaq provides insight  into why Financial Knowledge and a host of other Knowledge factors are important to achieving true Wealth.

Having a Skill in one area alone shouldn't be seen as the holy grail of success in life. Many people of color fail to recognize this key facet in life. Many communities of color embrace sports as their ticket out of poverty without realizing Knowledge is the key to achieving and retaining wealth.

Knowledge is the key to navigating the sea of life.

Shaq Missed Out on Making Millions of Dollars With Starbucks Because He Didn't Think Black People Drank Coffee -Yahoo News
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Schultz was interested in opening up a string of Starbucks franchises in African-American communities, and he wanted Shaq to play a big part in it. But Shaq turned him down and told him he thought it was a bad idea.
So I looked in the great Howard Schultz's face and said, 'Black people don't drink coffee, sir. I don't think it's gonna work.'

The Stunning Collapse Of Infrastructure Spending In One Chart, the Confederate States and its Sympathizers plan to prevent the First African American President from Suceeding, At Any Cost

The Stunning Collapse Of Infrastructure Spending In One Chart
"...The drop is a result of Republicans blocking President Obama’s efforts to invest in infrastructure that the country needs."
"...Continued underfunding in this arena over the coming years will cost businesses a trillion dollars in lost sales and cost the economy 3.5 million jobs." 

Here lies the intent, trillion dollars in lost sales and cost of 3.5 million jobs to the economy. Can you fathom the number of Americans who's suffered and died due to such sinister acts. This number doesn't include the 13,100 Americans killed in the Iraq and Afghan wars. Imagine how farther ahead the nation would be if such crippling measures wasn't inflicted on the economy.  

Below is a True Measure of Hate in which Lincoln spoke of.  
  • Your purpose, then, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us. You will rule or ruin in all events.
  • But you will not abide the election of a Republican "aka none southern" president! In that supposed event, you say, you will destroy the Union; and then, you say, the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon us! That is cool. A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, "Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!" To be sure, what the robber demanded of me - my money - was my own; and I had a clear right to keep it; but it was no more my own than my vote is my own; and the threat of death to me, to extort my money, and the threat of destruction to the Union, to extort my vote, can scarcely be distinguished in principle.
  •  Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.

Janelle Monáe - Q.U.E.E.N. - A Movement of Thought, A Battle for the Times and a Funky Smooth Jazz Line to Free your Mind

Will you commit to Teach, Lead by Example, Question the Unjust or just Preach?
It is Said ..."Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.
If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.
Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! .."

The Unlikely Cities That Will Power the U.S. Economy

A key focus of this article is Huntsville Alabama, a city and state that's highly dependent on Federal funding. Alabama and similar states typically doesn't contribute any funds to the national budget while exhausting vast amounts of funds. Taking this into account, cities like Huntsville have a low cost of living but continues to drive the nation deeper into debt.

Luther Campbell promotes the benefits of Unity and Political Engagement within African-American communities

Former Rapper Luther Campbell Wants Black People to 'Stop Hating on Each Other'

Excerpts from the interview, a must read:
TR: How do we stop it?
LC: How do we stop it? I mean black people, basically, we just got to stop hating on each other. I mean we are a very separate and segregated race of people. We have so many issues within our race that we don’t want to admit. We don’t want to talk about our issues. We’re waiting for the white knight to come and save us.
... One thing [President Barack] Obama did do is get everybody to get their voter-registration card.
 ...the real popular thing to do is to vote locally, but these people are so boring that the average young person doesn’t want to. So the bottom line is, I ran. …established a base of over 30,000 voters, and now I’m taking those 30,000 voters,… then endorsing somebody.  …a kid that came up in my [youth football Liberty City Warriors] program, Keon Hardemon, fresh out of college, 29 years old. …runs for office in my neighborhood, Overtown, Liberty City, and I say, “Hey, look, support him against the machine.” He beats the machine, double digits.
I have people on the school board that I’ve supported. Right now, in next year’s race, I will be supporting one of the candidates for mayor, and I’ll be supporting one of the candidates for Congress in those areas; and those people, I am going to have to sit down with them and say, “These are the issues.” - The Root
