Rest In Power: New Project Allows Black People To Write Their Own Obituaries Before Cops Kill Them

New Project Allows Black People Write Their Own Obituaries The Black Obituary Project is a collection of pre-written obits to put a spotlight on the anti-Black violence and growing surge of police brutality. HuffPo recently featured the project’s creator on why he chose to convey his sentiments in this fashion: “Ja’han Elliot Jones, 24, was unarmed when shot and killed in conflict with local police officers,” his obituary reads. “His familiarity with the Black canon steered him into a potent state of unapologetic Blackness ― one in which the James Baldwins and Young Jeezy’s; the bell hookses and the Queen Bey’s; the Frantz Fanons and the Futures all occupied hollowed, cherished beautiful space in Jones’ identity.” “So often, we are killed and our photos are posted about but our stories are not,” Jones told The Huffington Post. “This grants black folks agency we’re often denied in death. We are telling our stories ― speaking of our triumphs and tragedies ― before anyone else attempts to do so for us.” Another obituary: Read more obits at the Black Obituary Project HERE .

Florida Idiots: Two Men Face Felony Charges For Wrestling Then Taking Selfie With Baby Alligator

Two Men Face Felony Charges For Wrestling Baby Alligator Florida dummies Brian Bunting David Swick were arrested in September for posting a Facebook video of them illegally capturing then taking seflies with a baby alligator reports The Washington Post : In the nearly minute-long video, Swick is seen standing close to the alligator in shallow water as Bunting, who was recording, said: “You guys ever seen someone get bit by an alligator before? Look at this one right here.” “Grab his neck right now, grab his neck now. Grab it! Grab it!” Bunting yelled, as Swick caught the alligator, grabbing its neck with his left hand. Under Florida law, illegally possessing or capturing alligators is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

This “Makes Him Smart?” New York Times Exposes Donald Trump’s Tax Info, Finds That He Avoided Paying For THIS Long…

Donald Trump Avoided Paying Taxes For 18 Years That tax info that Donald Trump has repeatedly hopscotched all around has finally hit the public…and it’s reflecting that the Republican Candidate for President didn’t pay taxes for nearly two decades. A package anonymously sent to the New York Times contained three pages of what appeared to be a portion of Trump’s 1995 tax returns. The info highlighted that Trump claimed a business loss of nearly $1 billion , stemming from poor management of three Atlantic City casinos, a failed airline investment, and a hasty purchase of the Plaza Hotel in NYC. The loss was so big it allowed the candidate to take advantage of tax rules that assist wealthy filers such as Trump, permitting him legally avoid paying any federal taxes for 18 years. Meanwhile, Wesley Snipes had to do a bid for avoiding his for only 2 years. But we digress… Of course Donald is heated and claims that all this info was illegally obtained by the Times in their effort to do Hillary Clinton’s dirty work . He didn’t say it isn’t true, though. Damn. Do they have something like this in place for the average working people out here to make sure WE can get ahead after our losses too? Doubtful…smh. New York Times/Monica Jorge

Desean Jackson Plans To Rock Specially Made Cleats To Protest Police Killings Of Black Men At Today’s Game

Desean Jackson To Rock Custom Shoes To Protest Police Brutality Ballers are finding more ways to protest the police killings of Black people. Instead of taking a knee , baller DeSean Jackson plans to make a statement at today’s game with his footwear. Desean reportedly hired artist Marcus Rivero — a.k.a. SolesBySir — to design a yellow caution tape wrap around on his cleats to protest the frequent deaths of unarmed African Americans at the hands of police. TMZ caught up with Desean to find out more about the statement he intends to make with his caution tape cleats: We reached out to Jackson for a comment … and were told “I’ve seen enough yellow caution tape and it’s time for a stand and a change in our community and society.” “Senseless killings have been ongoing for awhile and police brutality in our black community … and as a young black leader with a stage and platform I’m starting awareness to help prevent these killings, and hopefully get justice to these cops who have taken lives of innocent human beings.” Jackson says he doesn’t just want justice, but also “a change with the decision making on these cop killings.” “I am also coming up with a master plan to start a movement” with the intention of making a real impact. We’re told Jackson plans to wear the cleats during pregame warmups tomorrow … and possibly during the game. We wonder what Desean’s plan will entail. Good for him taking a stand in his own way… Splash/NFL
