BLACK COLLEGE STUDENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA DISCOURAGED FROM ENGAGING IN PEACEFUL PROTESTS TO SUPPORT FERGUSON:
THE KLAN & SCARED BLACK LEADERS KEEP A TIGHT LOCK ON BLACK PEOPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
NORTH CAROLINA IS STILL RULED BY THE KLU KLUX KLAN.
As Hundreds of Thousand of Young People engaged in Nationwide Peaceful Protests Monday night and Tuesday to show Solidarity and support for FERGUSON.........
In NORTH CAROLINA you only heard Crickets.
Crickets and the voice of a North Carolina NAACP President
(Dr William Barber).
BLACK College Students in NC were basically Discouraged from engaging in Peaceful Protests as a public show of Solidarity for FERGUSON.
You see in NORTH CAROLINA the KKK still Controls every facet of State and Local Government entities.
You see in NORTH CAROLINA the KKK also Controls BLACK Leaders.
In fact there are some areas of NORTH CAROLINA that no BLACK Human Being would dare to venture.
Especially at night because they may go missing, or they might be LYNCHED!
Wait a minute!
Is this NORTH CAROLINA in the 19th Century or the 21st Century??
I am indeed referring to 21st Century NORTH CAROLINA!
The BLACK Leaders in this region don't want to admit it because they are SCARED and ASHAMED, but it's 100% TRUE!
Whenever BLACK People want to Peacefully Protest in this State it is Only allowed for POLITICAL reasons, such as the "Moral Mondays" Protests.
The NAACP-led "Moral Mondays" Protests conducted earlier this year, were used to help U.S. Senator KAY HAGAN maintain her seat in Congress.
Well this Political tactic backfired and HAGAN lost to her GOP Opponent THOM TILLIS.
So other than for POLITICAL reasons, BLACK Citizens in NORTH CAROLINA are NOT allowed to engage in Peaceful Protests.
Especially in the Cities of CHARLOTTE.......DURHAM.......and GREENSBORO.
GREENSBORO is the North Carolina KLAN Headquarters location.
While CHARLOTTE and DURHAM are Centuries old safe havens for the KLAN.
Whenever BLACK People in NORTH CAROLINA attempt to rise up and Speak up for their U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL Rights, the WHITE Leaders in North Carolina call on NAACP Leaders to Shut us down!
Or the WHITE Leaders in North Carolina call on NAACP Leaders to Slander us........BLACK List us and Label us as "CRAZY" & "Troublemakers".
Thus I repeat..........
BLACK COLLEGE STUDENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA NOT ALLOWED TO JOIN IN PEACEFUL FERGUSON PROTESTS:
THE KLAN & SCARED BLACK LEADERS KEEP A TIGHT LOCK ON BLACK PEOPLE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
NORTH CAROLINA IS STILL RULED BY THE KLU KLUX KLAN.

ARTICLE: "NCCU Students Have Subdued Reaction To Ferguson Decision"
For the dozens of students gathered at N.C. Central University Monday night to watch the Ferguson grand jury announcement, they already had a sense of what the decision would be.
When it was announced that the grand jury will not indict Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown, their reaction was subdued.
"I don't think any of this was ever set up to bring an indictment," said Jordan Perry, a NCCU junior who watched the announcement in the school’s James E. Shepard Memorial Library. "We can tell just from the delays that have been going on. I think everybody kinda already knew. We were just kinda holding on to a scrap of hope that maybe something positive would happen but I think we already knew.”
Fabiola Doissaint, a NCCU sophomore, didn't agree with the verdict.
"I just feel bad for Ferguson right now," she said. "To me, this seems unrealistic to me. This is crazy right now. Ferguson will not sleep tonight."
The grand jury's decision was announced by St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch shortly after 9 p.m. Monday.
"Our only goal was that our investigations would be thorough and complete to give to the grand jury, the (U.S.) Department of Justice and public all the evidence to make a fair decision," McCulloch said.
President Barack Obama, who spoke from The White House following the announcement, said disagreement is expected, no matter the grand jury's decision.
"We are a nation built on the rule of law," he said during a live media briefing. "And so we need to accept that this decision was the grand jury's to make. There are Americans who agree with it and Americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. It's an understandable reaction."
Obama urged protesters to do so peacefully.
“Let me repeat Michael’s father’s words, hurting others or destroying property is not the answer," he said. "No matter what the grand jury decides, I don’t want my son’s death to be in vain. I want it to lead to incredible change, positive change. Change that makes the St. Louis area better for everyone.”
The anticipation of possible protests led Ferguson school officials to cancel school on Tuesday.
Several vigils and protests are planned across the Triangle and throughout the country on Tuesday. N.C. NAACP President William Barber, who has traveled to Ferguson and met with community leaders there, will share his reaction during a news conference Tuesday morning.
A vigil will be held at Pullen Memorial Baptist Church in Raleigh at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Ferguson protests made international headlines for weeks following the Aug. 9 confrontation between Wilson and Brown, which inflamed tensions between the city’s majority black residents and majority white police force.
During the initial protests, local law enforcement – dressed in riot gear and carrying militarized weapons and vehicles – were criticized for what some perceived was a heavy-handed response, prompting the Missouri State Highway Patrol to oversee police efforts. The Missouri National Guard were also called in to help quell the riots and violence.
Locally, the Ferguson protests were a reminder of the multiple marches after the death of Jesus Huerta, 17, who died in November 2013 after shooting himself while handcuffed in the back of a Durham police car. The marches resulted in multiple arrests and damage to police cars and a police building.
Hundreds attended peaceful Ferguson protests and marches in Durham and Raleigh in August.
Wilson, the police officer, encountered Brown when he told the teenager and another person walking in the street with him to move out of the roadway, according to Brown’s autopsy report from the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office.
“The deceased became belligerent towards Officer Wilson,” the report said. “As Officer Wilson attempted to exit out of his patrol vehicle, the deceased pushed his door shut and began to struggle with Officer Wilson. Officer Wilson had his service weapon drawn, as the deceased began to run towards him, he discharged his service weapon several times.”
Witnesses said Brown, who was shot six times, was killed while his hands were up, or while he was running away.
The claim led to the protest slogan “hands up, don’t shoot,” which was echoed across the country. During an August protest in Durham, attendees raised their arms in the air and held signs that read “don’t shoot.”
Days later in Raleigh, about 70 people chanted “hands up, don’t shoot” and held their arms in the air while marching on the sidewalk from the old Wake County courthouse to the state Supreme Court building.
The shooting also prompted a federal civil rights investigation. U.S. Department of Justice officials said civil rights charges against Wilson are unlikely, according to The Washington Post.
Wilson faced potential charges that ranged from second-degree involuntary manslaughter, punishable by up to four years in prison, to first-degree murder.
ARTICLE: "NC NAACP: Michael Brown's Family Didn't Have Advocate"
Leaders of the North Carolina chapter of the NAACP responded Tuesday morning to a St. Louis County grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, saying the decision was an "indictment and a charge against a system that is not willing to fully address the racial and discriminatory flaws that exist."
Speaking at a 10 a.m. news conference, NAACP President William Barber railed against a judicial system that he says perpetuates discrimination and the criminalization of black men.
"It's an indictment on a district attorney who was elected to be an advocate for the people and the search of truth as opposed to an advocate for the perpetrator," Barber said of the decision not to indict Wilson. "Mike Brown's family did not have an advocate in the secret rooms of the grand jury."
Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said the jury of nine whites and three blacks met on 25 separate days over three months, hearing more than 70 hours of testimony from about 60 witnesses, including three medical examiners and experts on blood, toxicology and firearms.
"They are the only people that have heard and examined every witness and every piece of evidence," McCullough said, adding that the jurors "poured their hearts and soul into this process."
After the announcement that Wilson would not be charged, violence erupted in the streets of St. Louis County. There were 61 arrests in Ferguson overnight, many for burglary and trespassing, and there were 21 more arrests in St. Louis, where protestors broke some store windows.
At least 14 people were injured during the violent night.
At Tuesday's news conference in Raleigh, Barber cautioned journalists in attendance about how they cover the protests.
"There is something underneath the protests. We have to deal with the fact, and we have to put this front and center," he said. "The reality of racial injustice in our system are not figments of people's imaginations. America cannot ignore the cry, the pain, the hurt."
Barber also called for reforms to the justice system that he said gives police officers "too much power." He said the NAACP and other civil rights groups are asking for reforms that will stop police abuse and require mandatory training on racial bias and the use of force. Barber also said every police officer should be required to wear cameras on their bodies to record every encounter with a civilian.
"A police officer is the only one I know that can knock on my door, hand a piece of paper to me and take my son out of my house in handcuffs and I don't do everything I can to stop him," he said. "That's power."
