Ferguson Black Lives Matter Activist Darren Seals Executed

The ReadyWriter

darren-seals-550x436A prominent Black Lives Matter activist who led the protests in Ferguson, MO. was shot and killed early Tuesday.

Police found the body of 29-year-old Darren Seals in a burned out car near St. Louis.

He was shot to death before the car was torched in a parking lot along the Mississippi River in a northern St. Louis suburb.

Aralyn Jones told KMOV-TV she woke up around 2 a.m. and saw the car fully engulfed in flames after hearing a “big, big boom”.

Police believe the vehicle was set on fire around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday.

Seals was a key leader in the protests over the wrongful police shooting of teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson on August 9, 2014.

Seals’ grandmother, Ether Seals, remembered him as a “smart kid”.

“I’m just numb,” she told the NY Daily News.

“I didn’t realize how smart he was until all those things happened in Ferguson where he was living,” she said.

Seals lived just blocks away from where 18-year-old Brown was fatally shot by former Ferguson cop Darren Wilson. Brown had refused Wilson’s orders to get out of the street.

In a 2014 interview Seals said he watched as Brown’s body lay in the street for hours.

“It wasn’t even a protest yet… It was a black boy being shot in the community,” said Seals of his actions that helped inspire the Black Lives Matter activist movement.

“I’m very proud of him,” Ether Seals said.

“I didn’t realize how much he’d been doing until people started calling today. I’m going to miss him so much,” she added.

Wife and mistress both show up at the hospital and try to visit the same man and ultimately causes all hell to break loose. In the video the wife is seen holding onto a chunk of the other woman’s hair.

Women kill me attacking the other woman when it’s their husbands who breach the commitment in the marriage. She (the wife), should’ve jumped on her husband, not his mistress.

He refused to Salute the flag, what’s the issue? on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

14-things-you-should-know-about-colin-kaepernick-before-he-becomes-wildly-famousSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will probably never stand up during the national anthem again. Kaepernick, 28, sparked controversy when he sat through the national anthem at a preseason game this weekend.

“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people,” he said after the game.

The quarterback remained defiant amid the firestorm of criticism directed his way after the 49ers loss to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.

Kaepernick said nothing is going to change as long as there is injustice and police brutality toward black people in America.

“I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed,” said Kaepernick, who is biracial and was adopted by white parents.

“To me this is something that has to change. When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand.”

Even though he risks being cut by the team for his stance, Kaepernick says the message he is sending is very necessary.

“No one’s tried to quiet me and, to be honest, it’s not something I’m going to be quiet about,” he said on Sunday. “I’m going to speak the truth when I’m asked about it. This isn’t for look. This isn’t for publicity or anything like that. This is for people that don’t have the voice. And this is for people that are being oppressed…”

Kaepernick criticized the lax hiring process for cops in America.

“You can become a cop in six months and don’t have to have the same amount of training as a cosmetologist,” Kaepernick said. “That’s insane. Someone that’s holding a curling iron has more education and more training than people that have a gun and are going out on the street to protect us.”

Is Kaepernick wrong for his strong stance on police brutality and racial profiling?

With the number of African American men and women who have been gunned down and murdered at the hands of police, sparking civil demonstrations and civil unrest throughout the country, we are no doubt in racial disparity.

In the last five (5) years under the Barack Obama administration there have been more killings and protest by African Americans since that of the 1960’s and the Civil Rights Era. And since the recent murders of Philandro Decastro, Alton Sterling and host of others, from Ferguson Missouri to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, each and all, were black men or woman who died at the hands of police.

Kevin Hart Ties the knot this past weekend….Do U care?

The ReadyWriter

Kevin_Hart MarriedComedian Kevin Hart finally married his longtime girlfriend Eniko Parrish. The couple tied the knot at Oprah‘s estate this weekend after a 3-year engagement. Really, it took him three (3) years to know if she was really the one?

Hart posted a wedding photo on Instagram.com of himself with his new bride and his 2 children, Hendrix and Heaven Hart, from a previous marriage.

He captioned the image “#Harts What’s understood doesn’t need to be said!!!! LiveLoveLove”

What needs to be said is Kevin Hart thinks he traded up from his first wife especially since his fiancée’s body language over the years, speaks to the fact that, she think she’s more important than Kevin. Apparently he didn’t get the memo but he will, let’s just wait on time.

Hart’s new wife seems to have a narcissistic attitude that’s troubling. I’ve never seen a bride pose for a wedding photo like she’s on a Broadway stage, then changed into another gown at their reception.

Anyway, do you see any similarities between his former wife and new wife?
