The ripple effect from Jacob Blake’s shooting by Kenosha, Wis., policereached the NBA’s Disney World campus in Florida soon after cellphone footage of the shooting began circulating on social media this weekend, but it led to a historic moment Wednesday when the Milwaukee Bucks refused to play their playoff game against Orlando.

Wednesday’s events, which soon included the postponement of all three games on the league’s playoff slate, followed days of impassioned statements by players and coachesaround the league about the relationship between Black people and police in the United States.

It also came more than two months after numerous NBA players questioned whether they wanted to take part in the league’s restart at all, out of concerns it would draw attention away from the reckoning on race ongoing throughout the country.



Cellphone footage showed Blake, a Black man, walking around the front of his parked SUV in Kenosha, with three officers behind him, pointing their weapons. As Blake entered the vehicle, the pop from seven shots were heard on the video.

Reports from Wisconsin said that Blake had been attempting to break up a disagreement in his neighborhood before police arrived. Blake’s partner, Laquisha Booker, told WTMJ-TV that the couple’s three children were in the SUV at the time of the shooting.



How the shooting came to stop the NBA:

Monday

After footage emerges, players begin discussing again whether basketball should be the focal point.

“We shouldn’t have even come to this damn place, to be honest,” Bucks guard George Hill said. The Bucks’ home arena is 40 miles north of Kenosha. “I think coming here just took all the focal points off what the issues are.”



After a victory against Portland in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series, LeBron James and Anthony Davis steer the postgame conversation beyond basketball when asked about Blake’s shooting.

“I know people get tired of hearing me say it, but we are scared as Black people in America,” James said. “Black men, Black women, Black kids, we are terrified.”

James added: “I got half of my brain locked in on the playoffs and the other half locked in on how I can help Black people become greater in America. And that’s what it’s all about.”




Symobol educated is vital in the New World Order because the powers that be are using high technology to deceive the world. These pagan devil worshippers are trying to stop the exposure of their hidden network with huge media distractions. These are designed to get you to react to them that would lead to chaos. If you scream fire and have a little smoke to back it up, then get several of your friends to scream and run most will run out the theater in sync. It would be a stampede. They are driving you into believing Black Lives Matter are standing up for the oppressed. They are bullying in the New World Order by adding this pagan culture as a fundamental freedom.

Black Lives Matter is a rich Jewish funded movement to stage the New World Order. The number one gay people on Earth are Black people. Yet the Jews have made it appear the ancient Greeks, Spartans and Romans who were notorious pedophile pagan cultures were White. No two people merged and became one bloodline and one culture, they are the Black Romans and the White Italians. There are still some Blacks who are ancient living in Greece right now. Yet Blacks in Africa had pedophilia cultures. Gay Marriage started in Africa with older men marrying boys and paying bride price for them. Older women who had land and wealth yet no husband would marry several young maidens and pay a bride price. The bride price makes it a legal record and state/kingdom law so means Africa legalize Gay Marriages long before Whites. And you know what is consisted with Africans and Greeks, Spartans and Romans they all did the same thing. This also goes on among Blacks in the South Pacific Region on the islands of Papua New Guinea they have similar pagan traditions.


Black people are behind staging the New World Order out of survival of these traditions which does include cannibalism and human sacrifice. Cultism from which springs corruption is also created by pagan culture. Yet evidence is overwhelming that Black people have merged with the Jews and it appears to be a long time arrangement dating back thousands of years. White people come to Africa with pagan fantasies and Afriicans fulfill them, Blacks in the U.S are in bed with Jews who run the entertainment field, in cahoots with them in politics like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They are even involved in drug trafficking, mass Incarceration, human trafficking and pedophile rings along with the Jews.

OUT POLITICS AND POLICY

Kamala Harris brings pro-LGBTQ record to Biden ticket

When the California senator first entered elected office in San Francisco in 2004, she represented a city where LGBTQ rights were a given.

When former Vice President Joe Biden announced the historic selection of Sen. Kamala Harris of California as his running mate, he added a candidate to the ticket with a pro-LGBTQ political record that goes back to 2004.

“It’s clear the Biden-Harris ticket marks our nation’s most pro-equality ticket in history,” Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign, the country's largest LGBTQ rights group, said in a statement.


Harris first ran for elected office as San Francisco district attorney in 2004 when LGBTQ rights were firmly established in local law — but still highly contentious nationally.

After winning that election, she established a hate crimes unit to investigate and prosecute anti-LGBTQ violence. In 2006, Harris organized a conference in California that brought together over 100 officials from across the U.S. to discuss strategies to end the use of the so-called gay and transgender panic defense. In 2014, California became the first state to ban the practice in law, and in 2018, Harris and other senators introduced a bill to prohibit the practice nationally.

Harris announced her campaign for California attorney general days after the 2008 passage of Proposition 8, a successful California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage in the state. While serving as California's top prosecutor — a job she held for six years — she declined to defend the ban in court. In 2013’s Hollingsworth v. Perry ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a 2010 federal court decision invalidating Proposition 8, and gay marriages resumed in the state.

Shortly after it was announced that Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, had chosen Harris as his running mate, Matt Hill, a gay Biden staffer, shared a clip from “The Case Against 8,” a documentary about Proposition 8, showing the moments in 2013 when Harris, then-California's attorney general, found out about the high court's decision.

After she was elected to the Senate in 2016, Harris continued to staunchly support LGBTQ rights, frequently co-sponsoring pro-equality legislation and speaking out against the violence faced by transgender women.

After her selection as Biden's running mate on Tuesday, Harris made immediate waves when she announced her chief of staff would be Karine Jean-Pierre — an out lesbian, a former Obama White House staffer and a spokesperson for the progressive group MoveOn. Jean-Pierre is the first Black person to serve as a chief of staff for a vice presidential candidate.

During the 2020 Democratic primary campaign, where Harris was among the field of presidential hopefuls, her LGBTQ platform stood out for promising to appoint a White House chief advocate for LGBTQ affairs “to ensure that LGBTQ+ Americans are represented in hiring and policy priorities across the government.”

But during the primary, Harris, Biden and over a dozen other Democratic hopefuls were remarkably unified in their positions on many LGBTQ issues, which included ending the transgender military ban and religious exemptions to anti-discrimination laws, and reversing policies that discriminate against LGBTQ people in adoption and housing.

The Biden-Harris LGBTQ platform promises to make major changes in areas where LGBTQ people are not fully protected by the law — like housing, military service and health care.

During the Democratic primary, candidates were all unified in their vow to sign the Equality Act, a bill that would update many nondiscrimination laws to explicitly include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people.

Although the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in June, Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, finding that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act bans workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, the Equality Act would amend other federal laws pertaining to credit, jury duty and housing that are not immediately affected by that decision.

The Biden-Harris campaign's LGBTQ campaign platform consolidates many of those threads into the strongest presidential platform in support of LGBTQ rights.

Although Harris has been a staunch LGBTQ supporter since she entered politics in 2004, Biden, like nearly all American politicians at that time, did not support LGBTQ rights when elected to the Senate in 1972 the way he does today. Biden, along with the vast majority of the Senate, voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, which defined marriage in federal law as a union between one man and one woman, but by the 2010s his views had changed.

Most famously, while serving as vice president, Biden in May 2012 pre-empted the Obama administration's official policy in support of same-sex marriage by endorsing the unions during an appearance on NBC’s "Meet the Press."

“I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties,” Biden said at the time.

Three days later, President Barack Obama endorsed same-sex marriage.

An 'incredibly meaningful' pick

Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., called Harris "well qualified and well prepared" to be vice president.

Takano, who is gay, said her selection is "incredibly meaningful to the LGBTQ community, and as a Japanese American I am also proud to have someone of Asian heritage on the ticket."

“Senator Kamala Harris is revered in the LGBTQ community for her leadership as Attorney General during the litigation of Proposition 8 and her fervent refusal to defend an unjust law," he said in an email. "Joe Biden selecting her as his running mate reflects the deep value that both candidates share regarding equality for LGBTQ people."

Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay former presidential hopeful who frequently campaigned on his experience as a mayor and gay man in “Mike Pence’s Indiana,” tweeted, “It feels good to visualize the moment when Vice President Mike Pence is replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris.”

Pence and Harris have starkly different track records when it comes to LGBTQ rights, with Pence, the former Indiana governor, having signed the 2015 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which was controversial for protecting anti-LGBTQ discrimination. The two are set to debate on Oct. 7.

Speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the first Black woman and first lesbian to be mayor of that city, said there’s “a tremendous level of excitement” around the selection of Harris.

“This has been a very, very difficult time for people around the country, and we need something to rally around, and I think her addition to the ticket really gives people that thread of hope that we have all been looking for,” Lightfoot said, adding that her 12-year-old daughter was “beside herself with joy.”

Not everyone across the LGBTQ spectrum, however, is applauding Biden's choice of Harris.

Ashlee Marie Preston, a Black trans advocate who supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts during the primaries, said many Democrats like her “are experiencing a flux of emotions right now” because of their view that Biden and Harris represent the “tough on crime” culture, which Preston described as particularly harmful to transgender people of color, who according to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey are likelier to experience police harassment, incarceration and abuse while in detention.

“This won’t be a cake walk for them,” Preston said. “We need to see that their loyalty to systems that crush vulnerable communities has been dissolved. Politicians can change, as can their policies. But we’re still waiting on proof of such evolution, or at least a straightforward conversation on the matter.”




It's all here for you to see that its connected with paganism from which springs cults. All pagan cults practice homosexuality, orgies, bisexuality, transexuality, animals sex, pedophilia, human sacrifice, cannibalism, ritual killing, and corruption.
