Ferguson Rapper Tef Poe: Barack Obama Has Forsaken Us, But We Will Not Stop Fighting Injustice
Time Magazine ^ | September 16, 2014 | Kareem Jackson @TefPoe

They cannot kill us all. They can not throw us all in jail. We want justice for Michael Brown and every victim of police brutality.

We’re now a month out from the killing of Michael Brown by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, and a month away from when a grand jury is likely to decide whether or not to indict him. Yet we still have no answers and no respect in the state of Missouri.

In Saint Louis County, the police have a history of racial profiling and abusing the power of the shield. Racial profiling in North County has transformed into a problem of monstrous proportions. Young black men and women have sadly realized that the police are here to do us more harm than good. We don’t drive certain places in our very own community after a certain time of night. We avoid suburban communities as much as possible because we fear being unjustifiably locked up and thrown into jail. In Saint Louis County all of the cards are stacked against young black people.

Mike Brown’s untimely demise was the tipping point in Saint Louis County. We believe he was brutally assassinated. His body lay in the streets of the Canfield Green Apartment Complex for over four hours. It was as if he was publicly lynched by the Ferguson Police Department and his body was left on display as a mechanism of fear.

The community responded to this wrongdoing with much disdain and the police launched a preemptive and massively militarized offensive. We were tear gassed and shot down in the streets by rubber and wooden bullets as if we were dogs. I woke up one morning and there were armored military vehicles stationed around the corner from my mothers house....

No, you are doing a fine job of killing each other ... no outside help needed. ;-)

Maybe we could pass the hat around to collect one-way air fare.

And yes, we could kill pretty much all of them if that were our intent. As they said in the "Bionic Man" 'we have the technology.'

In minds eye, i hear this guy speaking in that distinct “marbles in mouth” dialect while he envisions thefting and looting as his “birthright”.

Kinda like the “genocide” the Israelis are always committing against the paleostinians.

The Israelis apparently aren’t very good at it.

Thug #6 gives us those pearls of wisdom. These deadbeats need to do hard time for their looting spree, or are we to understand that Sharpton and the Bongos got a cut?

Tef Poe should start worrying about the influx of Latinos and Asians.

These groups lack any empathy for blacks nor possess any white guilt.

Folks like Tef Poe wants a less white world, well be VERY careful what you wish for. Your new masters are going to eat you alive.

Almost makes one hope he gets his wish. Almost, anyway.

And Latinos and Asians are not trying to abort themselves out of existence either.

We want justice for Michael Brown

Justice happened that very day he stole the cigars.
