'Black Obituary Project' Encourages Blacks To Write Their Own Deaths By Police
The Daily Caller | 10/4/2016 | Amber Randall

Posted on 10/04/2016 7:57:49 AM PDT by tekrat

A new project allows black people to write their own obituaries, with most envisioning the writer dying unarmed at the hands of police officers. Ja'han Elliot Jones wrote a single piece about his own death to create the Black Obituary Project, reports the Grio.

Jones felt that he could likely be fatally shot by the police and decided to write his own obituary. "Ja'han Elliot Jones, 24, was unarmed when shot and killed in conflict with local police officers,"  it starts.

Rather than submitting it as a freelance piece, Jones decided to start the Black Obituary Project after realizing many people could feel the same way he did.

The worst thing is that there is a lot of pressure on all blacks to conform to the BLM way of thinking. Dissenters will be severely punished.

I was unarmed, except for the gun in my lap, and the pig still shot me.

This could actually be very interesting. I wonder how they would describe their actions before being shot. That could be a “teachable” moment for a lot of them.

Unfortunate typo: I was unarmed, except for the gun book in my lap, and the pig still shot me.

That is still my absolute favorite youtube video. It should be required in all predominantly black schools.

I’d love to teach it. The conversation would go from jokes to serious to jokes, but it would be a real learning experience, especially when the videos of guys getting shot are included as, “Now, what did this guy do wrong?”

What even Progressives/liberals acknowledge, the last 7+ years under Obama is a farce!

It is called suicide by cop.

I feel sorry for the emotional stress and danger they put the police in :(

It is so sad that black people have been so well trained to go on emotion and magic thinking that they will come to believe the fictions are real. Anything to manipulate black people so they stay on the dnc plantation for their votes don’tchaknow.

Our society provides great rewards - psychological and financial - for “victims.” You get more of what you subsidize.
