What To Do When You're Stopped By Police - The ACLU & Elon James White

Know Anyone Who Thinks Racial Profiling Is Exaggerated? Watch This, And Tell Me When Your Jaw Drops.


This video clearly demonstrates how racist America is as a country and how far we have to go to become a country that is civilized and actually values equal justice. We must not rest until this goal is achieved. I do not want my great grandchildren to live in a country like we have today. I wish for them to live in a country where differences of race and culture are not ignored but valued as a part of what makes America great.

What really happened to Valdosta, GA teen Kendrick Johnson?

The story of Kendrick Johnson is finally starting to be seen by the public eye, even if it’s three full months after the 17 year old was found dead at Lowndes High School, where he attended in Georgia. On Janurary 11th, Johnson was found dead in the high school’s gymnasium, rolled up inside wrestling mats and his face heavily swollen as if beaten. He also had lacerations on his face and on other parts of his body. The local Sheriff’s investigators have said that they believe Johnson fell into the mats and wasn’t able to get out, and they ruled the death an accident. The investigators clearly wanted to close the case and move on, but the family of Kendrick Johnson has pressed on for answers. They were able to get kendrick-johnsonthe Georgia Bureau of Investigation to take on the case, but their investigation has lagged, possibly due to department funding issues. The GBI has not released any information on their findings, now ten weeks after they’ve taken on the case. 
The family of Kendrick Johnson has tried to use political pressure in order to get answers. Kendrick’s father Kenneth Johnson was quoted as saying: “We haven’t gotten any information. So if they’re still investigating why haven’t they brought fourth the evidence? We don’t think, we know that he was murdered.” This past week, Johnson’s family took action, and blocked the entrance of the Lowndes County Judaical Complex in a non-violent protest. They were arrested and booked, but their protest worked–it garnered national attention to a case that has lagged and that sheriff’s investigators in Lowndes hoped would quietly fade away.
