Is This a Phase or a Revolution?

Being apart of the 99%, I have begun to follow the "occupy" movements a little more closely. Like the picture on the left points out I guess I woke up. The buzz surrounding the movement today is in regards to the "Occupy Oakland" movement. The police arrested protesters and fired tear gas on them.  This was done because the protesters allegedly threw things at the officers. It is being reported on (CNN) that the area where the protesters were needed to be cleaned/sanitized therefore the police were trying to  clear them out. This was the same reason given by NYPD a few weeks ago when they came and were trying to forcibly remove protesters. Yes, they wanted to do some cleaning alright they want to clean this "occupy movement" out! All this police involvement makes one wonder if the "powers that be" aren't afraid of a revolution on US soil. This year has been one of revolutions! I know there were be some head shaking and giggles behind that statement but one can't deny that the atmosphere is set. What is so ironic is the fact that "if" there is a US revolution it won't just have a black/brown face it will be more white than anything.  The black/brown faces know how to endure the oppressor we have being doing so since we left the ship to "occupy Amerikkka." #mainstory

Fist Pump to the women of Yemen
It is always inspiring when women take the reigns of a revolution, protest, or movement. The women of Yemen are "symbolically" burning their veils or "makrama" for protection from thugs. The accusations are that the governmental forces are raiding homes killing women and children. The Yemen uprising began in March against  the tyrant Ali Abdullah Saleh and he is not backing down. This veil burning is essentially a plea for help. I pray these women get the protection they need and deserve for themselves and their children. I hope the world is paying attention. #inspiration

Whale Slaves
Peta has filed a lawsuit against Sea Word stating that the killer whales at the park are being held as slaves. Peta's argument that the whales are being mistreated maybe valid but them being labeled as slaves is just a bit much. My main reason for even mentioning this foolishness is to ask, "Where was Peta when the county slaughtered those animals in Ohio last week?"  They are mumbling now that the governor has enacted a ban on exotic animals in Ohio. Peta should have been banging down Terry Thompson's door for animal cruelty long before 49 animals were killed. #sideeye

Amy Winehouse
Today the autopsy results for the untimely death of Amy Winehouse came in. The results are that she died of alcohol poisoning. What a sad ending. We all were rooting for Amy but it seems has though the alcohol and the drugs had a deeper root. #sadending
