The only confederate flag that mattered was all white.

The man has to do his job. He might actually quietly support her. So arresting her doesn't make him a ? , ? or anything else. FOH.

Activist Bree Newsome became the darling of social media Saturday morning after being arrested for climbing the flagpole in front of the South Carolina capital and pulling down the Confederate flag.
Twitter users under the hashtag #FreeBree lauded the black woman’s early morning escapade, with a fundraiser set-up by Creedo Action rapidly accumulating funds to help defray her court costs and get her message out.
Newsome, who was arrested by State Capital police along with associate James Tyson, when she came down the pole carrying the flag, issued a statement reading, “We removed the flag today because we can’t wait any longer. We can’t continue like this another day. It’s time for a new chapter where we are sincere about dismantling white supremacy and building toward true racial justice and equality.”
The woman is part of a group of activists allied with #BlackLivesMatter and Ferguson Action calling for justice, increased employment, and support for African American communities.
The fundraiser established on Indiegogo raised more than $16,000 in less than two hours towards its goal of $20,000.

Seems as if the name @hoodsavior doesn't suit you, being that the only thing you zeroed in on the flag going back up .... smh -

how did ? support her, when he did the exact opposite of what she did?
the legs of a table, supports the table. your necks support your head.
when u support some one in need, you're actually doing something to help them, you're not just a thousand miles away quietly thinking about them.

She is a additional much needed spark in getting our people to come together in this movement ..... to get some of you spineless to wake up and stop living on your knees .... to show the young and uninspired that their black lives matter and have purpose
I'm not even sorry that you don't see the bigger picture .... you're helping us to understand that we have to cut dead weight .... can't help those who think they don't need any ....

I admire her courage....
But she and the people of S.C. are a day late and a dollar short...
There is a consensus about removing the flag after the church shooting......
Where were all these people when we were fighting to remove the flag in the early 2000's?????

"Are you sayin' da lawd's praya? When dey spat on him did he fight anybody?"
? ? ass fake christian ? shuffling ass ? ...
I won't lie - it truly hurt my heart to see that. yes feelings. I feel like i finally see that that the battle was lost a long time ago and the rest of us are just stuck with doing the best we can as individuals given the circumstances.
And for the record and as a non-christian even I know it's pretty well documented how Jesus got down. I'm pretty sure if you walked up to him and spat on him either him or one of his people would have gave you that work. You can love someone without letting them abuse you. -
Mixtape exposure or sincere activism?????
Newsome is at work on her debut EP and recently released the song #STAYSTRONG: A LOVESONG TO FREEDOM FIGHTERS inspired by her experiences as an activist and organizer in the modern civil rights movement.

So this isn't a conversation? This is you and the many flexing your "my revolutionary ? is bigger than yours" jargon.. Allow me to play your childish game.. What she did was brave.. Took ? .. It was also silly cause it did nothing but 2 black men in a awkward situation.. Where they have to choose between their livelihood and "fighting for the people".. That ? she did accomplished NOTHING.. It got her all the attention she wanted.. She took the flag down and that ? was RIGHT back up.. These grown ass black people doing these "little wins" and "morale victory" antics cause in the right against the powers that be WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING!.. All we got was lack of support from our president, tear gas, and rubber bullets.. I can't even get out on the field like I want because its nothingbut a bunch of hands up and ppictures for social media to show "hey guys I'm out here.. Nothing is changing but I'mout here".. I.love my.people but we been doing the same move for YEARS and wonder why our shots are always ccontested..
