Kids From Ferguson Recruited to ‘Educate White America’ on Racism in ‘Hey White People’ Video
The Blaze ^ | 9/9/14

Posted on 09/10/2014 3:18:55 PM PDT by Altura Ct.

FCKH8.com, a “for-profit T-shirt company with an activist heart” released a new video Tuesday that uses kids from Ferguson, Missouri, to “educate white America about the racist reality in 2014.”

The company recruited six young black kids from Ferguson, reportedly from the same block where 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer.

“Armed ONLY with statistics (hands up, don’t shoot) these articulate and adorable kids are not having it while much of white America would rather pretend racism is over,” the video’s description reads.

The video starts with the kids noting that Ferguson is the place “where white police shot an unarmed black teen in the face.” One of the kids is heard labeling the shooting a “national disgrace.”

The kids go on to mock various statements that some white people allegedly say about black people and racism, according to the video’s creators. These include:

• “All this focus on race makes me uncomfortable.” • “It’s you people who are making this about race.” • “I don’t see color.” • “You people are just playing the race card.” • “Some of my best friends are black.”

Later in the video, a white man makes an appearance and proclaims that it’s white people’s responsibility to “own up and face” racism.

Finally, the company pitches its $13 “Racism is not over but I’m over racism” T-shirts. The for-profit company vows to donate $5 of the proceeds to charities working to fight racism.”

It took decades of neglect of freedom.
That’s the only way to describe what happened.

We should conduct a test.

Line up 5 random blacks from the streets of Ferguson and hand them each $1 million in cash, with the only requirement being that they need to come back to this same place in a year to report how they are doing.

My bet is that all 5 would have zero dollars.

I've been educated already, starting when I lived in Brooklyn.

I understand what's going on, perfectly, but thanks for the offer.

What’s the difference between using your children in some misguided claim to want equal treatment while actually being given special treatment - and - Cindy Sheehan dancing on the coffin of her son for money ?

No. I mean yes, but it wasn't just neglect. It was all part of a plan. A four step plan. It worked extremely well.

Yuri Bezmenov explained it all over 20 years ago. We just didn't listen.

This thread explains it all. We have, as a nation, become incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong.

The Fed Gov has been winning billions in social justice lawsuits. These are slush funds to distribute $ anyway the DOJ wants.

Redlining lawsuits?

"attitude"

You are completely, 100% correct. But many people think there is some magic trick to getting ahead in life. Despite the millions of people who succeed in life despite incredible odds and obstacles, many more are quitters who want to blame others for their problems.

On average, Asian Americans have the best attitude. Black Americans have on average, by far, the sh......t attitude of any group of Americans. They, black Americans, will blame racism for their problems. That of course, is not the source of their problems. Nothing now holds them back from succeeding....except themselves.

Black America knows it is becoming irrelevant. The feral behavior, the irresponsibility, the protests, the refusal to accept facts, are all symptoms of black demise. Individuals will continue to succeed, but the group will carry little weight or power into the next decade. In the future they will be ignored, and vigorously prosecuted when necessary.

The welfare state, cultural rot, abortion, denial of reality, and choosing to be ignorant is effectively destroying black America. There is nothing society or government can do to save a group of people that have collectively chosen the path of destruction. And, for whatever it is worth, this old white guy no longer gives a crap about them either.

not to mention it’s the whites who go in groups of 20,30, 100 or more and beat down black folks coming out of grocery store. It’s the whites who were a massive mob who took a fair and the streets, attacking folks in their cars.

When are white people going to do a video showing all of the black on white violence and then sell a T-Shirt?

I keep waiting for the Black Republicans to come out with a video reminding blacks of who the real racists were, the Democrats. They have a website that lists all the racist comments made by Democrats, very interesting.

Not a peep....

they have to keep this going as they have nothing to run on in November.
They know most blacks don’t bother voting , but when you put race and suppressed together then it will get them out.
