On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, an African-American man, died in Powderhorn, a neighborhood south of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. While Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down on a city street during an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, kept his knee on the right side of Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. - wikipedia
In The Ghetto
written by Mac Davis
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
‘Cause if there’s one thing that she don’t need
It’s another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don’t you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or he’ll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
Well, the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal, and he learns how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun,
Steals a car,
Tries to run,
But he don’t get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers ’round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
And as her young man dies,
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin’,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries

Do we really need to see this ? I swear with all the trolls and disgusting comments here , to me this proves that the powers that be here encourages that behavior. We see enough of this crap on CNN and Fox News . Please stick with the music . It’s an escape from the sewer of humanity.

This is the state of the world that we live in today. It all starts with the MEDIA. Who controls the media?? Treat everyone as you wish to be treated. There should be no color barriers. At this point in time, race should not be an issue. Treat people with respect, and this includes law enforcement.

All this over a fake $20 dollar bill.

For months all the media forced down our throats was Covid 19 . Now the flavor of the month is the George Floyd murder . Did covid 19 just suddenly go away ?
By John on Jun 5, 2020
The way these news channels cover these events is baffling. Was the virus never that serious? Practically every state has reopened while the virus is supposedly still raging. Now the cable news channels hardly mention it anymore. All they talk about are the murder of blacks and the riots . How do you know what to believe?
By John on Jun 5, 2020
Yup , no one mentions coronavirus anymore on the news . Now it’s cops killing blacks . In a couple of months it’ll be something else . Can’t trust the news channels. They just try to stir up shit .

Just drop a h bomb and end it all. Flush the planet down the fucking drain. The devil won.
By Nirob on Jun 6, 2020
It’s not the planet. It’s human beings , all races . Disgusting pigs . The protesters and the cops deserve each other . Just leave the rest of us alone .
