When Black Protest Leaders Told White People "We Don't Care About You"


 This is Russell Meeks speaking on a live public television special in 1968. These shows were run without any editing in an attempt to help Americans cross partisan divides which were extreme at that time. The civil rights protests had turned violent, and many white people who were part of the protests were rejected by black protesters. I filmed several documentaries in 1968 and I can tell you from direct experience that just about everybody was angry and many people yelled at each other and at me. And it wasn't just one group or political point of view that was angry–it seemed that just about everyone was ready for if not looking for a fight. This clip presents a part of my experiences with the civil rights movement at that time. The murder of George Floyd has precipitated this kind of anger again. I sympathize with the movement to encourage the quality with the police and every other element of American society.

Russell Meeks was a civil rights protester active in the 1960s. He was involved in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), a major civil rights organization that played a key role in grassroots organizing across the South. Meeks was particularly active in Mississippi, where he helped with voter registration drives and supported efforts to challenge segregation laws. He was known for his courage and persistence in the face of threats and violence. Like many civil rights workers in Mississippi, Meeks faced constant danger from white supremacist groups and hostile local authorities. Despite this, he continued his activism, working to empower Black communities through political engagement and education. Meeks was not a national figure like some other leaders, but he represented the many local and regional activists whose work was essential to the success of the civil rights movement. His contributions helped lay the groundwork for broader legislative changes, including the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

Charlie Talks About Epstein

Image
Between 28:52 and 30:00 of the video, Charlie Kirk frames Jeffrey Epstein not just as an isolated predator but as a tool of influence and compromise. The lies about Charlie. Charlie in his own words. Questions about the investigation. They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk. | Candace Ep 235 - YouTube Between 28:52 and 30:00 of the video, Charlie Kirk frames Jeffrey Epstein not just as an isolated predator but as a tool of influence and compromise. He suggests Epstein’s network functioned as a “lever” for powerful elites—politicians, financiers, even intelligence services—to entrap and control people. He stresses that the scandal wasn’t only about private depravity but about systematic blackmail designed to ensure loyalty and silence. Kirk points to the strange protection Epstein enjoyed for years, implying he was too useful to certain powerful interests to be stopped until he became a liability. What ties these threads together is the idea of influence bought or weaponized: Charlie Kirk’s c...

Supreme Court Issues 9-0 Unanimous Decision Changing Second Amendment & 4th Amendment

Image
  Barnes v. Felix case, why the Court struck down the “moment of threat” rule, and how this changes self-defense cases, concealed carry laws, and police encounters forever. Supreme Court Issues 9-0 Unanimous Decision Changing  Second Amendment & 4th Amendment Fight! There were two separate 9–0 rulings in 2025 : Fourth Amendment — Barnes v. Felix (May 15, 2025): The Court unanimously rejected the “moment-of-the-threat” test in police-force cases and said courts must assess the totality of circumstances (including officers’ conduct leading up to a shooting) when judging reasonableness. That refines Fourth-Amendment excessive-force doctrine ; it doesn’t rewrite the Amendment’s text.  Example: Officers chase a teen for a busted taillight into a dim alley. Without waiting for backup or announcing themselves, they rush in with guns drawn, corner him, and shout conflicting commands. The teen, panicking, reaches toward his waistband to pull out a phone; an officer fires...

Why Charlie Kirk Looked That Way in His Casket (Embalmer Reacts)

Image
People are asking why Charlie Kirk looked the way he did in his open casket — from the yellow hands, to the “waxy” appearance, to conspiracy theories that it wasn’t even him. As a licensed funeral director and embalmer, I’m breaking down what you’re really seeing. Why Charlie Kirk Looked That Way in His Casket (Embalmer Reacts) This is just a general look at how embalming can affect appearance. Every case is unique, and my goal is simply to share understanding, not to speak about any one person. Yellow discoloration of hands or skin can come from a few common causes: jaundice (liver failure or medications), postmortem chemical shifts, or the interaction of embalming fluids with blood pigments. Some are pointing to the yellowing of Charlie Kirk’s hands in the casket as proof of something sinister, but what isn’t being said is that discoloration like this often signals more than just “jaundice.” In cases of sudden or violent death, the body’s chemistry can shift unpredictably, creating p...
