. Lawmakers in New York and several other states and cities passed legislation to ban police chokeholds.“A whole lot more needs to be done in terms of investing in the community," said Newsome, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Greater New York., which sparked nationwide Black Lives Matter social justice protests that put pressure on city, state and federal officials to consider police reform and renew calls for racial equality.
Demonstrators are now calling for reforms that would outlaw voter suppression, create jobs and close the wealth gap. They also want government officials to invest money into poor communities of color toward quality education systems, access to affordable housing and healthcare. “The problem is that what we are seeing is a patchwork response," Fisher said."And when you have a patchwork response, where you see varied responses from different municipalities, it’s very hard for that to do anything more than be a band-aid.”Some lawmakers said the protests motivated them to move fast on police reform, but they are running into red tape., which would end certain police practices, such as the use of no-knock warrants and chokeholds.
Rashad Robinson, president of Color of Change, a New York-based civil rights advocacy group, said divesting and downsizing police and increasing funding for poor communities is key to ending systemic racism within law enforcement. “We had to act with urgency,” Mosqueda said. “For decades we’ve been seeing Black men and women, people of color, dying on camera. We’ve been seeing month after month here in the city of Seattle and across the nation, excessive force used .”Some cities are empowering or reinstalling civilian review boards.
How about starting with censoring Black Rap artists? The hood, the 'N' word in every lyric. Guns, drugs, resisting the police all divisive themes the glorify a broken way of life but makes the artists billionaires. But, wait, you're a communist.
We need more small business loans! More home buying programs. Better schools.
Start by not burning down your own stores.
Well the evolution went from BLM to defund the police to abolish all prisons, to all white people give up their homes to black people.
There are no Black communities. Anyone can live in any community they can afford. Democrats still believe in segregation and want to enslave Blacks for votes. Telling them they are victims and they need the government to survive. George Floyd was a criminal not a Hero.
💰💰💰...
start by offering long term solutions not band-aid-hand outs. Blacks should promote & lecture themselves to stop thug glorification, the use of the N word, dropping out of schools, black on black violence, change victimization 4 a messages of reliance & personal responsibility
Well, we progressively see how tolerant Democrats are of the destruction of this Nation. Does that count?
New enough news. Have you ever heard of Derek Harris?
Black people need to invest in themselves first.
Has substantial progress been made? Likely not because you and the woke whites have been too busy cancelling Aunt Jemima, Quaker Oats, and Ben’s Rice. That’s what ya decided to focus on so own it.
