Our (Black Youth Project 100) Demands: Stop the Cops and FUND Black Futures

Black Youth Project 100 ^ | November 28, 2015

[Zakeet]

BYP100 organizes for the liberation of ALL Black people. In the wake of the release of the video showing the execution of Laquan McDonald, we are poised to continue our organizing across the United States. It is OUR duty to FIGHT for our freedom.

Here's what we want:

• We demand all local, state and federal budgets to defund the police and invest those dollars and resources in Black futures.
• We want reparations for chattel slavery, Jim Crow and mass incarceration.
• We want to end all profit from so-called "criminal justice" punishment - both public and private.
• We want a guaranteed income for all, living wages, a federal jobs program, and freedom from discrimination for all workers.
• We want the labor of Black transgender and cisgender women (unseen and seen, unpaid and paid) to be valued and supported, not criminalized and marginalized.
• We want investments in Black communities that promote economic sustainability and eliminate the displacement of our people.

We've been doing this for 50 years, more and more each year

It would be interesting to see if when they passed the Civil Rights bill of the sixties and we could show those legislators what the scene would be like fifty years later, if they would have torn up the bill and set it on fire.

Fifty years of telling blacks they're victims, affirmative discrimination er...action, setasides, and favoritism in other areas has managed to set back black Americans. Where is the modern Booker T. Washington?

Blacks killed by non-Hispanic i.e. Mexican whites is probably only one or two percent. For the purposes of these stats, Hispanics are counted as whites.

You forgot immature as HELL. Unwilling to shoulder any responsibility for anything. NOTHING is their fault, dontcha know? I've actually had black students who I KNOW did not study for a test, or take any notes for the material it was about, or even cease for one moment their idiotic classroom garbage behavior while I was trying to teach the material in the first place, tell me they didn't pass the test because...it was RACIST. That's the big takeaway they get from their hero, the despicable Al Sharpton. And they're too stupid to realize he has made quite a nice living stirring them up all these years while they stupidly thought he was helping them.

These scumbags should first be hauled off to prison. Then force them to pay restitution for all the money that they cost these businesses. Garnish their wages for years until it’s all paid.

More and more of these vermin will be converting to Islam. That “religion” is more in line with their beliefs of terrorizing the public.

These self-absorbed, naive, affirmative-action losers are sooooo tiresome. I “demand” that I am provided a “safe space” so as to not be exposed to their incoherent racist prattle. Further, I “demand” they be thrown out of school because they have proven that they do not belong in college because of their stupifying idiocy. Where are my reparations from these pinheads who need to check their black privilege?
