RUN NIGGER, RUN

Why, my black brother, did you run?

Don't you know the police shoot-to-death men like you in the back?

And, even the federal government might find a way to follow the cover-up.

Police cover for police.

And now you are dead in that casket.

Why did you... Run Nigger, Run!

RUN NIGGER. RUN

From Compton, California to Bangor, Maine... 

Black parents, black friends, black peers and black others know this fact!

When the Cops stop you for whatever the reason may be,

If your skin is black you have two options --

Flight or Compliance!

Making the decision to pick either option,

In the moment of a confrontation by the police is a COMPLEX mix of...

Fear, anxiety, zero trust in law enforcement...

And how many of your peers have been beaten, or killed, by Cops!

Why a black man makes the decision to run from Cops looks insane, to outsiders!

Innocent black men run from the police when confronted,

Rare is the black man who wants to fight a police officer.

Black men run, rather than fight, if they can...

You see the results of police violence and police brutality every day on your TV...

They take black men down and treat them like they are a savage animal!

And if you kill the savage animal while brutally subduing it...

'So, what the fuck do you want us to do about it?

Did you see how big that Nigger was?

He was going to go for my gun... like they all do!

Yea, my gun is still in its holster... but, I thought he was going for it!'

Or, 'That Nigger was as strong as a bull!

I didn't know he only weighed 140 lbs. but he was all swollen to me.

I had to put by knee in his forehead and press it into the sidewalk.

How else was I going to subdue the Nigger?

He shouldn't have looked at me like that!'

Millions of stories of white men in police uniforms taking-out black men is black lore.

The knowledge is passed down from black elders to the younger generations...

Then repeated to the next generation of straight-fuck frightened black males.

When they step out of their abodes every morning,

They live their day in fear of being murdered a white policeman!

Few elders tell the younger men to fight the police!

What do you do when you are confronted by a white man with a gun?

If you, yourself, are up to no good... well, what is your expectation of the confrontation?

If you fight the police, under your circumstance, you are going to be hurt!

And will you deserve your beat-down because of your criminality?

But for the 98% of you black men who are innocent when pulled over...

And scared to the point of pissing in your pants when confronted by policemen...

You too have the massive burden of creating your fate in the moment of confrontation.

Do you fight the molten fear and burning anxiety inside your brain and your stomach and comply?

Or do you... RUN NIGGER, RUN!
