So why is that when white people disapprove something someone is doing or outperforming them who looks Black, the police is called? Things that make you go hmm.
Stop! He's embarrassing all the white children. Call the police! LOL

There are many more untold stories of this nature.
On April 4, 2015, 50-year-old Walter Scott was driving through North Charleston, South Carolina, when Officer Michael Slager pulled him over because of a malfunctioning brake light.
The beginning was captured on Slager’s dash camera.
It looked like an ordinary traffic stop.
Then Scott ran.
Slager chased him roughly 200 yards into a grassy area and tried to stop him with his Taser.
And somewhere nearby, 23-year-old Feidin Santana was simply walking to work at a barbershop.
Santana noticed the chase. Then he heard the distinctive clicking of a Taser and Scott yelling.
He ended the phone call he was on and began following them.
What Santana witnessed disturbed him enough that he pulled out his cellphone and started recording.
A chain-link fence separated Santana from much of what was happening. But his camera had a clear enough view.
And Officer Slager apparently had no idea he was being recorded.
Santana said that when he saw them, Slager appeared to have control of Scott.
According to Santana, Scott wasn’t attacking the officer. He was trying to escape the Taser.
Santana later said he never saw Scott take control of the weapon and use it against Slager.
Eventually, Scott managed to get up. Then he ran.
That’s when Santana’s camera captured the moment that would define this case.
Slager stopped pursuing him. He drew his handgun. And fired. Eight times.
Scott was nearly 15 feet away when the shooting began. By the eighth shot, he was nearly 40 feet away.
He never turned around.
Five bullets struck him, all entering from behind.
Walter Scott collapsed. He was unarmed.
But Santana didn’t stop recording. And that decision became incredibly important.
Seconds after firing, Slager radioed that shots had been fired and claimed Scott had taken his Taser.
But Santana’s camera was still running. The footage showed Slager approaching Scott and handcuffing him.
Then Slager walked back toward the location of the earlier struggle.
His Taser was lying on the ground. He picked it up, then returned toward Scott and dropped the Taser beside his body, walked away, then returned to retrieve it again.
Federal prosecutors would later describe Slager’s actions as an attempt to tamper with the crime scene by moving the Taser next to Scott.
And Slager’s account was already taking shape.
He claimed Scott had gotten control of his Taser and that Scott was coming toward him when he fired.
But the federal court would ultimately find that Scott never had control of the Taser, never attacked Slager and was running away when he was shot. And Slager still didn’t know that everything that happened was caught on camera by Santana.
Santana was terrified.
He understood what he had recorded, but handing a video implicating a police officer directly to police frightened him.
He actually considered deleting the footage and leaving Charleston altogether.
He briefly went to a police station but left after being asked to wait. Then he began hearing the official account of what had happened.
Scott had supposedly taken the officer’s Taser.
Slager had supposedly feared for his life.
Santana knew that wasn’t what he had witnessed.
So the following day, he returned to the area and eventually made contact with Walter Scott’s family.
At a vigil, Santana approached Scott’s brother, Anthony.
He told him he had something to show him. Then he played the video.
Walter’s family watched the final moments of his life on a stranger’s cellphone.
Santana later remembered how emotional they became.
The family gave the footage to their attorney, and it was also provided to state investigators. On Tuesday night, three days after the shooting, the recording was released to The Post and Courier and The New York Times.
And suddenly, millions of people could see what happened.
This is one of the most important details of the entire case.

Elijah McClain should have been celebrating his 30th birthday yesterday. He should be alive today.
Elijah McClain was a 23-year-old Black man who died at the hands of police and paramedics on August 24, 2019, in Aurora, CO. He was walking home from a convenience store, wearing a ski mask because he had a condition that made him cold, and had not committed or been accused of any crime. After a 911 call reported a “suspicious person,” officers stopped him, put him in a chokehold, and forced him to the ground as he repeatedly said he was just trying to get home and had done nothing wrong. While he was restrained, paramedics injected him with 500 milligrams of ketamine, a dose later shown to have been calculated based on a significant overestimate of his weight and far higher than what would have been appropriate for his small frame. He went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital, was declared brain dead days later, and died on August 30, 2019.

The security guard who died trying to stop the white supremacist who murdered those people at TOPS is named Aaron Salter Jr. Because I know the media isn't going to memorialize this man as a hero, I'm asking all of you to remember who he is and remember his sacrifice. #racism

Justice for Nolan Wells. Nolan Wells thought nothing of joining a large group of white people with his white friends, only to end up dead. There is a long history of Black people ending up mysteriously dead, with some causes of death being poorly explained. For numerous violations against and deaths of Black people, perpetrators have admitted their crimes to the authorities and were still never brought to justice. We see the same pattern when it relates to Nolan Wells.
No one who was closest to him that day is speaking. They took his phone. They deleted his conversations on his phone, and they deleted their own conversations on their phones. They hired lawyers. A piece of his body was missing after the coroners completed their examination, and they then declared that Nolan Wells had drowned. However, we now know he had no water in his lungs, which indicates he died before his body was placed in the lake. Still, none of his friends or the others who were with him are speaking.
Bottom line, it has been clear to us well before this organization was formed that there is a breed of white people who, through their genetics and cultural conditioning, violate and kxll Black people—both in the shadows and in plain sight. Because the system is complicit, the corrupt justice system must be demolished and replaced with a system where all are treated and judged equally. Until that day comes to pass, we will always question the system because it is inherently corrupt.

A 26-year-old guy from Newport, North Carolina, is heading to prison for two years after posting violent threats on YouTube about storming a Black preschool and killing children there.
Zachary Charles Newell made the disturbing comments on August 27, 2025, in response to a video on the platform. As per federal court records, he expressed his intention to “shoot up a black preschool” and “kill 20 black babies and then skin them alive like animals.” He further elaborated on his racist views, stating that he would derive immense pleasure from witnessing the suffering and death of Black individuals.
Newell was arrested shortly after posting the threats and pleaded guilty to communicating online threats last November. On March 27, 2026, U.S. District Judge James C. Dever III sentenced Newell to two years in federal court in Raleigh.

🚨 HE SURVIVED THE CRASH… BUT NOT THE PEOPLE WHO CAME TO HELP. 💔
Imagine escaping a wreck that should’ve taken your life.
Climbing out of twisted metal.
Bleeding.
Confused.
Alone in the dark.
Your only thought is:
“I need help.”
That was 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell’s final journey.
Jonathan wasn’t a criminal.
He was a mechanical engineering graduate from Florida A&M University.
A former football player.
A son with dreams and a future.
In the early morning hours of September 14, 2013, Jonathan crashed his car on a rural road near Charlotte, North Carolina.
Somehow…
He survived.
He crawled out of the wreckage and walked until he found a house.
He knocked on the front door hoping someone would save him.
Instead, the homeowner called 911.
When officers arrived, they confronted Jonathan. One officer used a Taser, but it didn’t stop him.
Then…
An officer fired.
Jonathan was sh💥t 10 times.
He was unarmed.
He d!ed just yards from the house where he had gone looking for help.
Officer Randall Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter, but after a mistrial, the charge was dismissed.
No officer was criminally convicted.
Jonathan’s death sparked protests across the country and became part of a larger conversation about race, fear, and policing.
But to his family…
This wasn’t a debate.
It was their son.
A young man who survived the crash…
Escaped the wreckage…
Made it to someone’s front door…
And still never made it home.

Before the investigations were complete, before all the evidence was in, before due process had run its course, white America somehow took the sides of…
The white cop who murdered George Floyd.
The white cop who murdered Botham Jean.
The white cop who murdered Atatiana Jefferson.
The white cops who killed Breonna Taylor.
The white man who killed Jordan Neely.
The white men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery.
The white cop who murdered Laquan McDonald.
Susan Smith, who murdered her own children and blamed it on a Black man.
Charles Stuart, who murdered his wife and blamed it on a Black man.
The white friends of Nolan Wells.
Again and again, whiteness gets the presumption of innocence, the benefit of the doubt, the sympathetic explanation, and the rush to defend.
But Black people asking questions, demanding answers, and refusing to accept a convenient narrative before the facts are known, are…“MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT RACE.”
The caucasity is breathtaking.
You don’t get to make race matter when defending whiteness and then demand that Black people pretend race doesn’t exist when we demand accountability.
