[Liberator Neighborhood Watch] The homie tells me he was on the J train Friday coming home from work when about 6 or 7 kids got on the train at the Myrtle stop, doing as kids do in New York; laughing and acting rowdy on a Friday, celebrating their freedom from the school week. At the Kosciusko station, 2 NYPD officers board the train pull out their guns, waving them in the air, pointing them in the faces of these kids and tell them to "get the fuck off the train". They proceed to throw them up against the subway station wall, with guns now to the back of their heads, and search them. The train cannot leave the station while all of this is going down, so observers on the train are wondering aloud why these cops have their canons out and are being so irresponsible with them. The cops find nothing, let the kids go. Train takes off from the station. Just another day in Brooklyn New York City, where they tear down murals of Biggie.

this is the most anger-inducing kind of bs...criminalizing and conditioning kids...pulling out guns..are they for real??!!??!
this reminds of me a friend who was in my group in Tanzania this past summer...he is from Queens...this dude was in near tears talking about how good it felt to not be instantly criminalized and always the one being watched...it would be so fantastic if when we get our stuff together there could be some kind of Continental-diaspora association where you could go and stay for a couple weeks...get some cultural immersion and deconditioning...kinda like that Boys of Baraka documentary but with us doing it..sustainability and organization would have to be the key elements
i wanna to be a part of finding a way to do this one day...not to romanticize africa...but i just wish a lot of us here could get to go...it does your spirit good
and not just immersion but exchange ....pan-africanness in the broadest sense of the term...even have that passport that was posted on here.
