For all my black protestors, I hope this helps...

So today, me and my friend went to #Ferguson’s protest today and before, we decided to call one of our previous African-American studies teachers for any insight. During this conversation, she explained that she’d been told from
other black activists around the country that there have been sightings of a Anti-Government, White Supremacy group known as the “Intifada”. These people apart of this organization are usually seen wearing all black, with bookbags.
She went on to explain that these “protestors weren’t what they claimed. Around the country, this group has a common goal to incite anger and violence during these peaceful protests. With the bags they carry, they have fireworks and bottles to throw at police. So, my friend and
I made it a priority to look for these “protestors”

Once we arrived (around 5 pm), there were only the protestors that seemed, or we believed to be truly protesting our cause. But as the night went on, we started to see more and more of these people in all black and bookbags
She went on to explain that these “protestors” weren’t what they claimed. Around the country, this group has a common goal to incite started coming in. At a point 8 pulled up together.

So then that’s when we started taking pictures and more. My friend asked the
Main antagonist in the group (the big kid), what was his purpose for being here. And the kid said, (I swear on my life) “I’m black bro, and I experience shit from these cops all the time” .. we asked him where he was from .. he said South county.. then named a school in a
completely different area...

So THEN, once dark comes, and the police lines up.. GUESS WHO is in the front?? Calling the police Pigs, spitting on them?? Those in the all black. After the police began to press the line and respond back, these same people were no where to be found
I hope this post sheds some light on those who are choosing to protest. And PLEASE, WATCH WHO YOU’RE STANDING NEXT TO because these people not fighting for the same cause as us.
