This is How We Riot (the rest of us)
Thanks, doll!
Has this been posted here? Apologies if so. The Archbishop talks about the spiritual battle going on in government and in the church. Q relevant!
And hors d’oeuvres. :)
Beautiful. Thanks for posting.

When a fellow officer is murdered unjustly this is how we riot.
Not with bricks and bottles but with a seemingly endless sea of blue lights.
Not with hatred in our hearts, but hands and hats covering them.
Not with empty chants but waving flags.
Not with cowardly masks but courageous men and women holding the line between evil and good.
Not with defacing property but by defending and keeping the peace.
Not with the tactics of terror but treading into the places few are willing to go.
THIS is how we riot.
Not by lighting things on fire but by lining the streets for miles and miles together both cop and community as one.
Not by hurling insults but by hugs, handshakes and heads bowed.
Not by focusing on our differences but focusing on what unites us regardless of race or religion.
Not by riding the latest social media trends but really doing something in our communities.
Not by mindless media manipulation but meaningful interactions with those they will never give voice to.
Not by separating people with broad strokes but standing shoulder to shoulder together in our diversity.
THIS is how we riot.
Make no mistake: we know first hand that injustice exists in the world.
We see it each and every time one of us pays the ultimate price for strangers with our lives.
AND we absolutely despise and condemn that injustice when we see it from our own ranks but just know:
We will still show up when you call.
We will still show up when the media isnt there.
We will still strive to safeguard lives and property.
We will still protect the weak against oppression and intimidation.
We will still stand in front of the peaceful against violence and disorder.
We will still uphold our oaths to respect the constitutional rights of ALL to liberty, equality and justice.

It was on fox business just now. Round table with leaders from black community.
All were praising Trump.

Elijah Muhammad was the head of the Nation of Islam when Malcom X was killed by Nation of Islam guy. I don’t think they ever proved that Elijah ordered it.
Malcom X found out about his philandering and children born to mistresses. They also began to have some differing political views.

And, the first car you mention is not the same car that appears behind Floyd's car. The one behind Floyd's car does make the u-turn and park on the opposite side of the street. They were picking up someone who had been shopping at the store. You can see her come out and get into that car. It is definitely not the same as the first car you see across the street. The headlights on those two vehicles is completely different.

And MX had become a sunni moslem and did the hadj, had met with whoever the king of Saudi Arabia was at that time. NOI is quite different from “regular” Islam.

supposedly questions about Floyd having no legs and no tattoos as they lift him(it?) on to the gurney.
