KANSAS CITY 'ONE STRUGGLE' ACTIVIST GROUP STATEMENT ON FERGUSON DECISION AND CONTINUED LOCAL PROTEST!!!
TKC NOTE: Here's word from Kansas City's leading Ferguson protest group . . .
One Struggle KC Statement on the Ferguson Grand Jury Announcement:
"One Struggle KC is outraged with today’s announcement that the Ferguson grand jury has failed to find sufficient ground to bring criminal charges against Officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown. Our thoughts go out to the family of Michael Brown and the Ferguson community who are hurting from this egregious miscarriage of justice. This decision sends a disheartening message that, in fact, black lives do not matter. Know that this blow only energizes the Movement for full liberation of all oppressed communities. We will not rest, and we will not slumber. The line has been drawn, and this announcement serves as a battle cry for those in the fight to dismantle tools of oppression in the form of militarized police, state violence, mass incarceration, the failed drug war, and the war on poor people and people of color. As people of conscience, we have a moral obligation to speak up and speak out against the failures of our government. We must exercise our freedom of speech, even if we have to resort to civil disobedience. This is what democracy looks like.
We stand in solidarity with the people of Ferguson who protest years of anti-black law enforcement violence. We do so because that same violence is inflicted upon communities of color and poor communities in the Kansas City area.
In the coming days, One Struggle KC will continue to organize non-violent actions in response to today’s announcement. Our continued aim is to unify communities and peoples who share a common struggle and empower the People to tear down the walls of division and oppression. We seek to end the fear and suffering of children, families, and entire communities that are targeted, harassed, and gunned down by police. We are tired of the non-stop cycle of criminalization and violence against people of color by police and can no longer tolerate a corrupt system that assaults our safety, our rights, and our dignity. Our struggles are distinct, but they are linked. WE are connected. WE are Ferguson. There is but One Struggle.
Join One Struggle KC tomorrow at 5:00 pm at St. Andrew United Methodist Church (Pastor Antonio Settles, presiding) located at 4601 Benton Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64130, where we will dialogue and strategize on ways to build solidarity, address the over-policing of communities of color, and empower those in attendance to begin creating substantive change to ensure that each member of our community is able to live with dignity and without fear. An art space will be provided for those who feel compelled to express themselves in that capacity.
In solidarity."

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts go out to splitting your head open with an axe.
ReplyDeleteOne Struggle looks like they just got out of the bushes behind City Union Mission.
ReplyDeleteDamn queers.
holy shit, their ranks have grown. From 5 to 6. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI only count four.
ReplyDeleteWhat a statement that they're making!!!!!!!
Jesus! Tony gives voice to more fucking idiots than anyone I can remember.
ReplyDelete8:16
ReplyDeleteThe other two are breaking in to that van.
A basic principle of civil disobedience is personal sacrifice. That is, if you have a cause and choose to support it by blocking a road, physically threatening a police officer, starting a fire, or throwing a brick you will get arrested and charged. You sacrifice to support your cause.
ReplyDeletePlease, please use the list above and do your thing and offer your sacrifice to prove you support your cause.
Then you will be arrested. We will all pull the flush handle and watch you swirl down the drain of history. Then we can put the lid down and wash our hands.
Whoever wrote that statement, and all who agree with it, are simply IGNORANT FOOLS who are intent upon demonstrating their TOTAL STUPIDITY to others!!!!!
ReplyDeleteUNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
7:40, FTW!
ReplyDeletea handful of white people standing on a corner yelling because a grand jury would not find a WHITE man guilty of shooting a BLACK man? not a single fucking person gives a rats ass as to his guilt or innocence or has any idea what the grand jury heard? what evidence was presented? I'm outraged that every person giving a statement "He was shot in the back" etc. that was an out right lie is not being prosecuted to the full extent of the law because there is the racism everyone is screaming about .. Black people trying to put a white person in prison simply because he was a white cop that had the balls to protect himself. where the fuck is oprah, the revrund sharpton, Cleaver, obama, and the rest of the greatest racist of this country now??
ReplyDeleteWhite americans are putting themselves into this submissive bullshit and should be ashamed of themselves, they dont like their race? go to court and change your name to something befitting an african Man or woman ... something like say ....shenequa!
Hey One Struggle!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you get One Clue, serve me One Coffee, and give me One Break?
where the fuck is oprah, the revrund sharpton
ReplyDeleteAL (reverend) Sharpton just held a presser and said the grand jury was not wanted and it was an all out lie. The prosecutor loves the police and hates the blacks.
Where is the justice where a black man robs a store then tried to steal a cops gun. He says it happens all over the US and the blacks never get justice??? WTF? Not only that but how can 51 black witness who claimed they say it all then say they were not at the seen be held as witnesses? again WTF?? Is this guy for real???????
@12:26 How in the fuck do you or the revrund know that the prosecutor hates blacks and loves cops? how the fuck do you know??? you dont and neither does the revrund, he may have been on television but he wasnt getting his manicured fingers duty wallowing around in the destruction of your own neighborhood AND when blacks come forward and say a man was shot in the back .. such as they claimed happened to the so called "gentle giant" its pretty easy to see that he wasnt there fore the black was lying and why? he wanted an innocent WHITE person to go to jail...why? because the black person Hates white people.. and they have fucking retards such as yourself who believe everything that goes against anything that might make a white person right .. so who exactly is the racist?
ReplyDeleteWho are these guys? I like the cut of their jib!
ReplyDeleteretards such as yourself
ReplyDeleteHey 1:24 fuck off I never said I liked the guy.
I just don't understand how he can go on National TV and spew the racial card after years of never paying his taxes and not go to jail. You have me confused with someone else!
Yeah, sign me up for this. The more time I can find myself on Benton Blvd. the better. Benton Blvd, the MLK of Kansas City. No thanks
