St Louis Police Faked Suicide Of a Black Man. He Survived And Told Everything

St. Lois police claimed that Bernard Scott, 44 committed suicide in the jail where he was taken on a minor traffic violation. Actually after detention Scott had abdominal pain and bleeding but police blocked paramedics who were going to take him to the hospital. After Scott lost conciseness with a stiff muscles, cops called another ambulance and told the doctors that Bernard Scott hanged himself. Probably police could get away with it, but Scott survived and recalled everything: “Why would I hang myself? I was in on traffic tickets… the first ambulance driver wanted to take me with him, but the guy wouldn't let me leave.”

It’s hard to say why cops did this cruel and absolutely mad shit. Anyway they should be sentenced for murder attempt!

“Let her speak when we get to the black topics.”

It’s worth considering how the president addresses both of these spheres. When talking morality in the black community, Obama has always been very clear. Obama has argued that black kids, specifically, have a mentalitywhich reflects shame in educational achievement. (“I don’t know who taught them that reading and writing and conjugating your verbs was something white.”) He believes that black men, specifically, tend to be more apt to abandon “their responsibilities” and act “like boys instead of men.” He believes that black parents need to learn to “put away the X-Box” and get kids to bed at a reasonable hour.

…

And you will hear no policy targeted toward black people coming out of the Obama White House, or probably any White House in the near future. That is because the standard progressive approach of the moment is to mix color-conscious moral invective with color-blind public policy. It is not hard to see why that might be the case. Asserting the moral faults of black people tend to gain votes. Asserting the moral faults of their government, not so much. I am sure Obama sincerely believes in the moral invective he offers. But I suspect he believes a lot more about his country which he chooses not to share.

…

The moral failings of black people are directly addressed. The centuries-old failings of their local, state, and federal government, less so. One need not imagine what a “both/and” approach might sound like, to understand why a president of the United States can’t actually offer one. At best, one can hope for reference to “past injustice.” But in a country where Walter Scott was shot in the back, where Eric Garner was choked to death, where whole municipalities are—at this very hour—funding themselves through racist plunder, fleeting references to “past injustice” will not do.

…

I don’t wish to minimize the difficulty, rhetorical and otherwise, of being the first black president of a congenitally racist country. In that business, Obama has gotten a lot right. But his “both/and” approach has been very wrong.One way around the conundrum is for the president to say as little as possible. I have never been among those who thought President Obama should “say more” about Ferguson, because I don’t believe most of the people who elected him actually want to “hear more.” What these people have never tired of hearing is another discourse on the lack of black morality or on the failings of black culture. It saddens me to see the president so sincerely oblige.

and this is why so many black people… conscious black people have a serious problem with how obama has handled the race topic. many black people are always quick to say “well he’s not the president of the black united states, he has to think about everyone” or “he can’t be seen favoring black people” and the like. my response has always been that he at almost every turn has kowtowed to white people, white supremacy and whiteness overall by taking shot at black people, black culture, black “failings” as if the actions of white america (slavery, institutional racism, jim crow, racist drug war, redlining, housing discrimination, land theft, lyching, economic discrimination, sundown towns, black targeted prison industrial system, bringing crack into black communities and more) never happened, aren’t still happening and have nothing to do with many of the issues black people struggle with. it’s all on black people.

it’s like mlk said “being a negro in america means trying to smile when you want to cry. it means trying to hold on to physical life amid psychological death. it means the pain of watching your children grow up with clouds of inferiority in their mental skies. it means having their legs cut off, and then being condemned for being a cripple.“ - (from the  “where do we go from here” speech in 1967).

also like mlk said ”to ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.“ and ”to accept passively an unjust system is to cooperate with that system; thereby the oppressed become as evil as the oppressor.“

His Mother Must Be Proud.

Some of you may have come across the name Julien Blanc in the past few days. For those who haven’t, Julien Blanc (also goes by the name RSD Julien) is a pick up artist who works for the company Real Social Dynamics. 

I first encountered Julien over the summer when we matched on Tinder.

This was a part of our conversation:

(link to the full convo bellow)

You can see our entire interaction here: http://tindersfinestbachelors.tumblr.com/post/94731409650/just-discovered-that-julien-is-julien-blanc

A few weeks go by and my roommate receives the same opening message on OkCupid! Several weeks after that, a friend of mine comes across a screen grab of the exact same message posted on Facebook, but in Hebrew!

It was pretty clear that there was a site where “men” were getting these pick-up lines, so I decided, as any human with internet access would, to google Julien’s ridiculous message. Let’s just say I was not prepared for what I found. 

That’s when I discovered his full name, Julien Blanc, and the RSD community. 

The more time I spent researching Julien, the more angry and upset I became. Here’s a quick look at the conversations Julien has with girls on Tinder. Taken directly from his Facebook page where he flaunts his ability to pick up women:

Here he is lying about the death of his Father:

(Credit: RSD Julien’s FB Page)

Exactly. Why would someone lie about that!?

Here you can see how he uses a fake rape story to gain women’s sympathy:

*PUKE*

This is clearly all one big joke to Julien. He can behave this way because he simply doesn’t see women as human beings. 

Some of you must have come across the Buzzfeed article published about Julien this week (Written by Mark Di Stefano). if you haven’t - it’s a must read.

Aside from harassing and violating women, we learn that Blanc is also a racist:

I can go on for days and days about how horrible Julien’s behaviour is, but instead, I thought I’d let his work speak for itself. Here are some tweets that I gathered from Julien’s twitter feed: (@RSDJulien)

Still reading?

#NotFunny #RapeCulture 

#ThatsWhatRapistsSay

What about now? Still reading? Upset? Furious? Unfortunately, there’s more.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTFFFFFF

CANT. EVEN.

EVERY.SINGLE.FUCKING.TIME.

I think It’d be easier to castrate you. 

… and that’s Julien Blanc for you. 

Julien’s minions will claim that he’s OBVIOUSLY kidding! OBVIOUSLY!

I think any sane person will think otherwise.

After reading Julien’s tweets, you’ve obviously asking yourself, “what can I do to shut this fucker down?”

Well, you can join the #takedownjulienblanc movement, started by Jennifer Li (@JennLi123) and help keep Julien out of your hometown. 

So far, Julien and his RSD minions have been banned from 5 different hotels, all thanks to the uproar caused by the hashtag. The website Event Brite has also cut its ties to Julien Blanc and Real Social Dynamics. 

I have one last thing to say to Julien. From me, and from women everywhere.

I have a right to believe.

As a christian, i have a right to disagree with same sex marriage without being called disgusting, hateful etc…ESPECIALLY, if i dont express myself hatefully at all.

My belief is that God doesn’t hate gays and neither do i…but it is a sin amongst other things and it is mentioned more than once in the bible the fate of a person who chooses that lifestyle. Along with fornicators and etc. OTHER PEOPLE SIN, that doesn’t justify YOURS. So when real Christians deliver the message the way they should…you should be taking away that it’s sin, that there’s a better way, that there is someone who is willing and able to help and be there for you should you decide to turn away from it and then life should go on as normal. That’s how i feel. So, yall wanna get married? Okay. I don’t agree but that’s you. We’re still fam regardless but i have just as much right to believe as you do to not believe. Much love 💜

[searchingmysound]

So christians are supposed to respect your right to marry but you cant respect that it's against our religion to marry gay couples. I think you guys are the babies! Find someone else to officiate you instead of forcing people to deny their God to appease YOU. Crazy how one sided these things can be. People only care about their point of view. No one is allowed to disagree and if they do and stand by their beliefs yall get to crying.

what the fuck
