u wont remember dying

How will black lives matter in the future?

In recent years, the Black Lives Matter movement has successfully pushed racial inequality and police brutality onto the national stage. Depressingly, institutional change has yet to follow suit. Here, afrofuturist writer Russell Nichols imagines a future where advanced technology—not social change—ushers in a controversial response to the epidemic of racial violence.

"do u still hav a birthmark?"

wtf is up wit this country?

1 network tried 2 set up a reality show but the feds shut that down quick saying it would send the "wrong message"

they didnt say nuthin else but we all knew "wrong message" was code 4 "anti-police message"

spiders pops sed "its good these black kids get 2 come back 2 life but @ the same time they shouldnt b getting killed by no fascist cops in the 1st place and best believe they just gonna end up shot again if the real problem aint dealt wit

matter fact just this morning nick let me hear his science report

i recorded him since i kno u wont remember this

here check out this vid:

["Dolly was a female sheep, the first animal to be cloned from an adult cell. Back in the 1990s, scientists in Scotland used a cell from another sheep's mam-ma-ry gland to create Dolly. In female mammals, mam-ma-ry glands are where the milk comes from. And where the word mammal comes from, too. For this project, I will be—"]

he told me he got a B+ cuz his 5th grade teach sed he left out how dolly was put down b4 she turned 7 from lung disease

nick had me dying; he was like "i dont c y thats a big deal cuz if she could b cloned once, she could b cloned again so it didnt matter if she died"

i asked him if my life mattered

he sed "ur life matters but death dont matter cuz u can keep coming back as many times as u want"

i wanted 2 tell him it didnt work that way that aint what i meant but i was drifting in and out cuz this was rite after they gave me the memory inhibitor so i just told him dont ever take life 4 granted

he sed "no doubt" then took his B+ like a man and sed he would "do better next time"
