The bullies on Twitter.com known collectively as ‘Black Twitter’ influence social change through the use of conflagrant #Hashtags such as the #NoFlagginChallenge social media campaign.
The #NoFlagginChallenge encourages lawless thugs to rip down Confederate flags wherever they see one — be it on a house or on a semi truck. The campaign comes just days after South Carolina removed the last Confederate flag flying over the Capitol in the U.S.
But I guess that won’t enough. Agitators want the flag removed from private property as well.
It matters not that these useful idiots are risking their lives to steal other people’s property. Since when do morals matter when certain groups think they are entitled to have their way?
I guess Black Twitter will scream foul when someone gets shot for vandalizing property? It’s always someone else’s fault when morons are killed during the commission of a crime.
Sheep …… history lesson these flags have always been around always …. but only now your in an uproar …. keeping my mouth closed on this one …. here
I see all the posts this week are going to be hot buttons for us.
Smh. This is dumb. Now you are either going to get shot or go to jail for trespassing and destruction of personal property. So so so stupid.
This is the dumbest chit ever, this is why we are shot and killed religiously. So, monkey see, monkey do steals flag- police come, shoot and kill or beat- flag gets blamed and blacks will justify it some how. All races have been seen stealing flags which is a crime and when folks get shot up everybody blaming everyone but the stupid folks doing wrong.
So they’re thugs now because they want the flags removed?
Don’t agree with this. Especially in FL. Il
Taking flags down not going to stop them from hating EVERY ounce of your black existence…..
Yeah we about to see some dead black fools..Private property is just that. Personal view that are expressed on your own property is protected. Yeah that’ll get ya killed quick..
When will we learn? SMH….
then wen 1 of these idiots gets killed….
Nothing has always been around, not even Jesus. It might take something like this to change history.
Thank you. …
these post today man!
One of them are gonna cause outrage huh??!!
I may be in the minority, but I say let those white people keep their dag on flag! They ain’t got nothing else left and I don’t want to travel around any southern state where white people feel like they have nothing else to lose.
Not feeding into it…. Shyt…. I got other shyt on my mind… Real talk… Keep ya eye on the prize my sista
Same here… It’s not going to end racism, and doing dumb things like this is just adding to it!!!
Most blacks are comfortable and complacent, as long as they can go to work or get their check they don’t care.
*shrug* I have no issues with this flag on private property. Honestly, I’d prefer it. At least I would know where I stood with those people.
At least in the last 4 generations… Not BC Chile
Come through…
Yo you not. You just not sleep… Ijs… Keep ya eyes on da prize
You know I’m over here salvating at the mouth. But I’m gonna keep it cute. Today. I shall not be moved.
Somebody getting shot
Its worth it though. If you don’t stand for nothing.
It’s not worth it love
? that’s not the confederate flag, never has been. People so stooooopid!
Educate yourselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULBCuHIpNgU
Especially in FL and Tx
Nah, they are thugs because they are removing/destroying personal property (committing crimes).
It started yesterday for me with the Chicago slander. ??? I got folks going back to comments I made weeks ago in the Steve & Marjorie Harvey post ?
Not worth it. Dedicating time and energy to things that are worth it is a lesson I’m getting better at
Whatever folks do on they private property aint no business of mine. This is not suddenly going to end racism…
Something like what?
But why get mad about something that has always been in America ….this is America… This country rules have never been built for us
Chile STOP making sense. Just cause most black folks ain’t risking their lives or their good jobs for the cause. Bree New some could have been shot too. But she wasnt afraid to die for what she believed in. I commend these young black brothers, cause they might walk up on the wrong property fr fr. This takes courage.
I never gave a damn about that flag then and I don’t give a damn now. I do not see the big deal with taking a flag down is going to do? They still are going to continue to be racist. Something more powerful needs to be in place like discrimination for jobs things like that.
SMH….
Chile ….
GM!
I may not like or agree but that’s their property.
Oh its worth it. Just not on this blog. Folk aint bout dat life….
Talk about it..
That’s personal property and what they are doing is theft. Pure and simple. How about atheist going around the neighborhood stealing religious Christmas displays, or crosses stolen from churches.
How about having the flag inside your house but you can still see it from the outside. Go inside and get shot and killed. Go on, do it.
If I could heal the world I wish I could… But bottom line… Life will never be perfect nor will everyone always get along…. Focus on being a better you… Believe it or not love spreads just like hate… Flip the script
Hey Cricket……..what do YOU suggest then?
Now when one of ya’ll get shot, do cry Black Lives Matter bc you are stealing ppl’s things…I don’t like stealing.
At least the flag identify the racists. Taking down the flag doesn’t erase their racism. Going on personal property stealing can end real bad.
So taking someone else’s property and then possibly getting into some form of altercation where your life may be at risk is promoting change?
“Since when do morals matter when certain groups think they are entitled to have their way?”
you said a mouthful there.
(*compassionate optimistic voice* but with our help, maybe those still burdened by the delusion of yt privilege can un-learn their entitled behavior …and maybe those public servants who carry guns & badges can learn that firing their weapons should be a last resort, and that their badges are not a license to kill. together we can make it happen. won’t you help? *patriotic music swells ….and scene.) smh.
I just fonted it can end real bad going on people property
I’m not… I’m bout feeding my child… And family… Trying to duck and dodge the hate…. It is what it is… You can’t force folks to like ya period
Its time to change that. We built this country. It time we take a stance. Change is about to come. We are in the mist of the revolution. Certain folk still sleep, don’t want to get involved, or don’t care. The lines are being drawn. What side are you going to stand on is the real question. We have to start waking up. What is this prize you keep speaking of though?
Hey Wut
So was those counter sit ins in the 60’s. That was illegal too. But they did it cause they weren’t afraid of jail or death.
Nah I’m good…. This type of stuff will have ya blood boiling… I’m good on that
Question…sneaking onto personal property and snatch these RACIST people flags down…will it make them magically less racist? Or will they just go buy another one an now be on the scope hoping you show back up for the second one? There is always a right and a wrong way to make a statement. This is the wrong way. Make your statement within the constraints of the law so you can be protected to some degree. I do not want to cry over lil Marcus getting gunned down while trying to snatch a confederate flag down..Flag $2 and they WILL replace it…Marcus irreplaceable the math doesn’t make sense here.
and the south stay strapped
This needs to stop. It won’t end well. It’ll just be another excuse to shoot your ass down like a dog. Leave these folks private property alone. It’s not going to change their mindset anyway.
I’m all for healthy dialogue. I want to know your thoughts.
I know you not….smh.
Hey SLANTZ shuga bear!
What had happened @Summer? Point’em out. I’ve been seeing a lot of shade thrown (not by you, just in general) ’round these parts these last few post (I’m in and out and am missing the FULL story). But I’m gaining and gathering and putting this 1K piece puzzle together. *goes back to reading*
Sandra is trolling HARD…she said I’m getting these clicks and you will deal.
They are in their windows right now wishing a N word would! No joke!!
Say it witcho chest!
This is a good way for dumb, young brothers to get shot
Say it….
Will you look at this here… This sista is an agent. Just look at what she posts. Not slick at all & I guess it’s all for clicks. WOW!!!! Blissful ignorance abounds in this place. How much “they” paying you Black sista?!!!
SMH….
Buckle up….
Precisely …. And truth be told if we wanna go there… The American flag is better? When you know your history man I tell ya…. It’s when you forget your history this is the fall out… A war
Have you taken down any flags? Will you? Just wondering?
Man listen…
Hey Aroth
But if the flag had a swastika or a line through a rainbow on it…nevermind.
SEE…This is what yall get for complaining about Caitlyn…I bet you wish Cait and her EasySpirits were here now…
Preach boo….
I can’t compare having a sit in, which were mostly peaceful, to stealing someone’s property.
Lmao Chile log off rofl
Well I live up north. Probably wont see any. But I have raised over $15k for AA men in my community last year. I pitched a grant to the state and they bit it….
@SandraRose, can we get a new post please??? TIA
It was a lot of folks trolling me yesterday. They had my pressure up talking bad about Chicago. ???
Lurking….
Shake it right along… Trying to save my soul not Damn it to pits of hell
Why do black folk always live up to the stereotypes?
*hug* Been missing you. It gets to be too much in here. People leaving #DubComeBack and others just pass through.
You and 6’6 going strong?
To white people it is all defiance sis….
Basically!!!! She loves the provocation. She lives for this.
You know darn well why this is wrong. Stop victimizing them. They are stealing property and yo know it and see it on video. It took decades but the flag is down in SC. That’s how it is done. The right way, the legal way.
Wonderful question
I can agree with you there, but the fact still remains that taking of someone else’s property will get you addressed real quick, black, white, or brown…
YOU don’t think you will see any flags in the North. Baby I live in the North AND I see them ALL THE TIME! You “north” whurr? Canada? Again, HAVE YOU TAKEN ANY DOWN and if not, WILL YOU (if you’re, let’s say, in the south). Hell, if one passes by you “up north”, will you then remove it? Congrats on your fundraiser.
Martin Luther King did things the right way too and they still killed him so what’s the point again….
Who knew we still had freedom fighters still willing to die for the cause? SMH
Is it THAT serious? LOL
You live in the Midwest.
Are you kidding?
Martin done moved on to glory
What the hell Chits!?!? I HOPE you aren’t a white women in Phoenix bc you do the MOST
Are you kidding?
And you ain’t shyt for that…lol
And since this is now making national news, you know “folks” are hanging their flags and waiting…..
Jinx!!
Serious question: what is taking down the flags going to do,seriously? Suddenly the innocent killings will stop, racism will end, we will all be given fair and righteous judgement, my credit score will rise, the uncle sam building will suddenly implode, what exactly supposed to be the result of this??…QTNA
Correct. The country was not designed for “US”. It was designed for us to fail from the start.
LMAO!!!!
I haven’t seen any in the city of Chicago. I see other racist shyt though. This city is more segregated than any city in the south. They dont wave flags up here. They just won’t hire you or try to intimidate you by trying to kick you out of school or look at you funny for eating at “their” restaurant. Different type of “flag”
That’s major!
I just dolphin laughed at this! ?
Literally at the doe with their weapons
at the doe
And YOU combat it how? Sit in? March? Protest? But IF you see one, will you remove it?
Im very black. My people from MS, LA and TX.
girl, the more you know… if we can see the flag, then we KNOW not to send Lil Butter to that neighbor’s door with his school fundraiser packet, lol!
The key is to work smarter not harder, stealing people’s property does not take courage at all..IMO
I want change. I am willing to do certain things. I do certain things. I AM NOT DYING FOR THE CAUSE.
I don’t agree with this mainly because a lot of them will be itching for a reason…. Let them fly their flags on their personal property, thats how I know what people & places to avoid!
Where are you from ORIGINALLY tho?
How’d you raise it? Is there a link? I want to contribute.
LMAO, that is a Rachel thing to say Chits…we need proof, do you own Martin on DVD…you got dreads…something
I laughed out loud! Damn you Jenie. ?
I remember Martin Luther da Kang made a comment about the north … he said he was the most scared there ….
Thank God for them and may he protect them for being so brave. #Amen.
LOL
What you put in your greens? lmao
I hate generalizations like this.. Why are WE so critical when it comes to our own people?
Anyone who does this, anyone who encourages others to do this, anyone who praises people for doing this is a complete fool. Leave people’s personal property alone. Black people have bigger fish to fry than this flag, they should focus their energy on those things instead of wasting it on this foolishness.
Didn’t he go to Boston College? I thought his worse experiences were in the South…
you said they ’bout to be baiting and trapping w/them flags? then when they “got ‘eem” they gonna stand behind ‘stand your ground’?
My pappy and my mammy from MS. I was born in Cali. Moved to TX when I was one. I from Texas bih! #dirtysouth
My spidey senses tell me some shyt bout to pop off in the blog. And I got time today…..
How do you make mac and cheese. What flavor is red koolaid?
Good luck with that!!!!
yo!
I laughed out loud for real at this
Then everybody will be in an uproar..
Why is it that they are black thugs when they are removing the flags but not white thugs who are flying them ??????
ROFL!
Let me find out you related to me. My people are from those areas.
BOUT TO?!?! The last week has been a mess.
Nope read some of his journals…. besides let’s just say I have strong connections with the King Memorial site …. trust !!!! I know …. I may not like where I work but they put me on to a lot …..
Me at this entire topic
What stereotypes? The ones that society placed on us? Please expound
Yup. Feel it like folks with bad knees feel rain.
I hate generalizations period. why do folks think that approach strengthens their weak stance though?
Hey bew
LMBO…
In my head I could see an old church mother saying that.
First of all, I haven’t seen the video. Secondly, I think that the headline can be worded differently than as is. Let people form their OWN perception of situations and not what is fed to them. I’m not victimizing anyone. I hate how the media words things to either darken or lighten a situation. Let’s start THERE. I never said they weren’t wrong for what they were doing. Was Bree a thug for doing the same thing?
Those are the ninjas that deserve to get shot. SMH
Always when certain folks resurface IJS Look at them fonts chile
Well I’m not with the organization anymore, but basically the state was trying to bring more awareness to the community especially AA men 18-25. Get them to be smarter when they get behind the wheel. I started a campaign called “Be Street Smart” Basically don’t give the police a reason to pull your dumb ass over. Don’t drink and drive. Put ur seat belt on. Don’t speed. But the weed out. Shyt like that
So much income and jobs come from the world being in turmoil. Problems will always exist because of this unfortunately.
All that black power chit and you STILL on MASSA land…CLAIMING MASSA LAND…I mean…..
I BET she use CANNED. smh
Whoa whoa whoa … chill yo
Listen all of these post.
Was Bree Newsome a thug when she did it? Same situation, different place.
Can I Google your organization to learn more about it?
Chile
This is true. The Military Industrial Complex in this country is nuts.
Lol. Y’all are funny.
……..
…
That where I draw the line….
I guess the same results that you get from years of marching and protesting.
Yep.
So basically teaching them to be good citizens?
Chile Sandra be knowing what she doing …. you sneaky woman you !!!!! Now it starts
……..
She aint EVEN sneaky about tho…
this is stupid and illegal. leave people’s PRIVATE property alone. just like u don’t want someone on ur property vandalizing your African art bc THEY don ‘t like it, u don’t have a right to destroy someone else’s PRIVATE property. flags on government buildings is one thing and the con flag should have been removed from govt buildings. there is no defense or logic for this! wake up and THINK! stop being dumb sheep
Can we gone head and get the Ciara post. I’m sure that will really do it.
Serious question. Hypothetically speaking would you be ok with someone removing Obama posters/campaign signs or black panther banners from personal property?
Riiiggghhhtt, operative word is years..
The irony
Come Through Dee
Because when you do die, you’ll just be another dead blk nigga with a drudged up past history, portrayed in the white media to the world with THEIR “research” and twist on it, plastered all over FOX news and officiated by Don Lemon as a guest correspondant. LMAO
Nope.
Never let it get that serious ….. shyt I post with them is for kicks ….. that is it ….
True lol
the Charlagmane of this chit
No they don’t. You don’t deserve to get shot for taking a flag.
Glory or Sylvia’s
TWICE asked.
LMAO!!!
…….
I guess for the folks that hate the city of Chicago.
And I can donate there?
Yeah, that’s overkill pretty much..
……starts at home. LOL
Trolls…… Hey ma’am!!
I thought Morehouse. I could be wrong.
God, please no.
Hey to both of you!!!
There is a difference between protesting and standing against a government that purports equality and justice (Bree Newsome on federal property) and going on to someone else’s property and removing their property because you do not believe/respect their own beliefs.
…
Hey there hun!
This monkey though … looks like … well let me hush …
I see them on the back of people’s pickup trucks every now and then on the north side. People fly them at their houses in some of the northern suburbs so they do exist.
Bronzeville Visitor information Center. I’m not there anymore though. I had to move on to greener pastures. But I’m still spreading the word.
Yes.
say that. a lot more money in building prisons than in building schools.
Hey y’all!!! I see it’s trolls week on the blog. I guess trolls need attention too….they might get the wrong kind….But you know. ?
That’s life …. and the reality of the situation … when folks come to grips with that … chile
If you take something off my home I have every right to beat your azz…. if these fools get killed its not racism its what they deserve – it’s not right to do this and black twitter is made of up of hateful angry phucks… what idiot would encourage somebody to do this phuckery and what kind of coonienoonoo would do it… strups teef real rashole loud… I just caint today……
cosign
Sad, but true. Prisons are privatized, schools(public) aren’t.
Photoshopping gang signs in my pics and ghostwriting post on fb and twitter. NOT GON BE ABLE TO DO IT! But kudos to those that will. ?
Hey boo!!! I’ve been sneaking in and out on drives to destinations but I’m not here for this.
chile had to look at him again
prison is definitely big business
You don’t deserve to get killed for taking a flag off of a house. However, if you get beat up and locked up, I’m for that. But killed? Nope.
GLO-RAY
I’ve been lurking, and I’m not here for this either. This blog is turning into…never mind.
New MF Post about Eric Garner.
I HATE it here. Despise it. I pray that God sees fit to move my family and I out of here
There are videos on many sites showing young black folks stealing those flags. I understand the sentiment, but they are stealing property and that cannot be justified. What Bree did is also understandable and rather poignant, but in the scheme of things, she did what the state was on it’s way of doing anyway, let’s not get confused. The impetus for the flag going down was the church murders, not her.
I know people who have had their Christmas displays stolen. This is private property. If these thief were atheists, are they right to steal private property. Are we going to start stealing and destroying each other’s symbols because we don’t agree with them. Don’t we have enough to deal with cops killing unarmed black men, or are we going to add by reading of black folks getting shot for stepping on private property to steal flags.
Boston University, Morehouse, then Seminary school.
Hey Chiby How ya been …. heard you still changing names too and fro … can’t stay away aye …. yeah TUH
Yeah…I’ve been falling way back too. I’m all for fun, intelligent, snarky discourse but that’s not always the situation here lately.
Yes.
Girl you late. But hey how you doing.
I thought these were one and the same, lol! either way, they can have that can of salty stems, hahaha!
I agree. I peeped in yesterday and was like yeah you ain’t missing ish!
Where you trying to move to?
Far from late ….. Take care
Hey
Right with ya ..
oh god
U ain’t trying to make sense are you?
Absolutely
I’m from Chicago. Even though we have a problem with crime it’s not as bad as any other state. The media will have you thinking other wise.
welp! I’m out … I can’t. (Hey Khaki
)
I hate yall
My sentiments exactly!
I’ll pass on this one
Exactly! Chicago is a beautiful city.
These fools are going to get shot. Trespassing is no joke people.
This is all propaganda….The government is trying to brew a race war.Stop falling for it.
It sure is and half of this **** wouldn’t happen if people parented their kids.
Harriet Tubman did it…. nvm… *goes to sit in newbie corner*
They have nooo clue..piggy backin is the worst form of stupidity. Fight a cause once you learn the facts so you can be strong in it. This is how movements die so quickly because we get caught up in the antics and soon forget why you actually doing it.. smh
Yeah we still hanging on it was a terch in go this weekend was about to touch him with my fist and let my anger go on his azz! but we good nah..lol.
Back to Texas if I can.
Hey!!!!
Oh yeah Texas is so different from Chicago. I hate Houston traffic. I was stressed out when I was on the interstate, but I’m cool in Chicago traffic ?
Houston is cool for kicking it. But Dallas is home. That’s where I wanna move my family too.
I don’t know if you’re piggybacking or stating, but again, I haven’t watched any videos on THIS subject at hand. Nobody is justifying or condoning what is portrayed in the pics up top. Regardless if Bree took the flag down for the murders or “the people”, she still went onto property and removed it is all I’m saying. Does that still make her a thug? Was she labeled that in mass media? Again, not condoning it to make a point. I’m just saying. As I stated before, what they did is not where my issue lies, it’s the wording of it all. I’ve never been into labels on anybody.
I know there’s a difference. So whatchu sayin’?
l hollered at this gif reply.
I keep trying to tell them…
You didn’t see that flag outside? We’re not selling anything you want in here.
I don’t think she is a thug. What she did is symbolism for frustration and anger in social our culture, which is understandable. Scaling a public building, pole whatever is illegal mainly because of the safety of the person involved. I get it. But in context, we can’t go around taking property not ours, even if the cause seems justified in our thinking. She would be labeled a thug by those still attached to symbols of hate, people who will be hateful of blacks no matter what. Therefore, their opinion and labeling is of no consequence, so screw them.
……the wastelands.
While everyone is collectively banding together to take the flags down now. Why don’t we all make it cool and band together to aggregate our resources and present a black agenda to the next incoming president, do business with each other and develop a code of conduct with one another. The flags need to come down but let’s now talk about what the flag represents and address that.
This is going to cause even more violence. Leave those folks flags alone.
thugs tho? *rollseyes*
You must own one and sell them too! You are one of those I hate black people types!
Same ish I was thinking
Hey.
But it might start out as a fight AND THEN turn into something else.
I personally think Black Twitter is awesome.. and quite powerful. While I don’t always agree with the collective sentiment, they are the voice of this generation. A modern day digital NAACP if you will. .
Unfortunately, the challenges of this generation are unique. While we may not always understand it, I commend the digital solidarity.
Agreed. They agreed too fast to take down a flag and they KNEW what that was gonna do.
IMB of course ??
Agreed.
I’m not going upstairs. SchNOPE ??
Sad day in this piece of what’s left of the garden…
Do people realize that slavery was alive an well under the American flag before there was a Confederacy?
True! We need to stop worrying about white people and fix our own ish. You think Arabs, Asians, Jews, et al care if white Americans like them? Hell no!
Crosses burning on black lawns in 5..4..3..2..
Like white folks aren’t always doing shyt…hell yeah yank those flags down.
Call Dick Cheney bitch
Call Clarence Thomas bitch…he’s sitting in dunceville in the negro section..you know where it is
I agree! At least if I see the flag I already know what kind of person I’m dealing with.
NON VALUE ADDED ACTIVITIES!!!!!!!!! We need to snatch these SCARVES off their heads and PULL THEIR DAYUM pants up!!!! I would rather see the flag then your nasty drawers.
Next News at 10…. No more black history month or even the utter mention of slavery. Operation..ERASE HISTORY.
Last I checked, the ones with those flags aren’t the ones in power. They are just as blind as we are. The ones that don’t fly these flags are laughing and making decisions that matter to them their own.
Get em goons. Tear it up!!!!!!
I can’t think of a single black Chicagoan who was robbed, raped, beaten or killed by a confederate flag.
Peaceful sit in and protests (walks, etc) with the purpose of receiving what should be a natural right were/are understandable. They showed that Blacks, though we wanted to excercise our rights, were not the sterotypes that had been assigned to them
But this is a bunch of foolishness. This is stealing. It has nothing to do with a right or privilege being taken from you. This exemplifies the very stereotypes that were assigned to blacks from slavery forward – ignorance, stupidy, violent, untrustworthy, unclean, unkemt and so on. Some view that flag in different ways, For some it’s a sign of the South, some still hold on to racism. But honestly, if someone came in your yard, your car, home, or even your cubicle or locker at work and removed something of yours because “they didn’t like you having it”, there would be consequences and repercussions of all sorts.
Any thinking person could see this. Whether that flag flies in a courthouse or in a yard has nothing to do with your rights. It’s been removed from the Public building. Show people the same respect you want instead of giving them ANOTHER reason to believe the sad stereotype that plagues blacks and has for so long.
DO BETTER PEOPLE
Truth..
Didn’t you ask if Bree was a thug for removing the flags? Or nah? That’s what I was responding to.
So if one of those hillbillies comes out blasting a 12 gauge, will black lives matter then? Don’t get me wrong, FLUCK the confederate flag and EVERYTHING it stands for however going on someone’s property stealing and destroying ish will certainly get you shot. PERIOD. #thinksmarternotharder
When somebody accidentally gets killed or shot for trespassing on somebody’s property and taking it, it’s not gonna seem like such a good idea! #morons
Jesus has always been and will always be around.
This flag ionknow. . .
I agree. I mean at the end of the day, this is still the land of the FREE. Anyone has the right to fly, hang, worship whatever. Going onto someone else’s property is A) trespassing and taking their flag is B) theft and if damage is done, damage to property.
Now if someone gets shot and killed cause a white person was “fearful for his/herr life” when a young black man was on his/her property stealing it’ll be a line as long as the Mississippi River of people protesting “Black Lives Matter” when really, we just need to stop being easy targets in cases like this
Agreed!
Everybody snatching a racist flag, but meanwhile you hate half the sistahs or brothas your timelime. . .
It starts with us. . .
I’m sorry, but I can’t get on board with this one. It’s not organic. This is just another fad that people will soon forget about before they’re on to the next trend.
Sitting at a counter that’s open to the public vs walking onto someone’s personal property are 2 different things.
You better PREACH Kekeb!
