31-year-old Mohammad Robinson died in Las Vegas Saturday night. All witnesses said that the Black man didn’t hear the woman asking to hold the door for her while entering McDonald’s. She got upset and told
her male companion
about the incident. The man waited for Robinson outside the restaurant and shot him down like a dog. His killer remains at large, but police say the shooting was caught on surveillance cameras which they will try to use to identify him.
“It’s horrible. I want my dad back and you took him away from me!” said the murder victim’s daughter, Miniya Sampson.
Robinson is survived by his mother, a girlfriend, four children, and two step-children. His youngest daughter is just three months old and is suffering from a blood sepsis infection.
This murder only highlights the situation in America -
black lives clearly don’t matter very much to their fellow citizens.
The family started a GoFund me page to cover funeral costs: R .I.P Mohammad.
someone: i viscerally hate and cannot support tony stark because he’s a straight white american cis male in a position of power and privilege whose (albeit well-meaning) arrogance and poor judgement have frequently resulted in massive damages and deaths and who has faced no concrete legal repercussions for his actions
me: ok that’s fair and all entirely valid
someone: which is why I love and support steve rogers instead

Ok so Rebecca Black was a 13 year old Latina girl who got scammed by a company that preyed on girls like her. They promised to help kids with dreams get a singing career but instead just took their money, like college fund level money, and made terrible music videos like a vanity press for aspiring singers.
Basically they made their money taking advantage of kids, promising them they’d be famous just like their favorite teen idol and maybe get to meet and perform with them once they were famous too, and conning their loving parents into paying out tons of money for nothing.
Rebecca Black was different than other kids because the video she got was so bad it went viral. The company she worked with did everything wrong, even auto tuning a kid with a decent voice until she sounded like a robot. She was a teenage girl who is trusted an adult who promises he’s a music expert and in the end not only did the company take her money with no intention of actually helping her get anyway where, she became a national joke and the target of bullying online and IRL along with the friends she’d invited to be the video with her. (I’m talking death threats)
Because making fun of girls, right?
On the bright side the song was catchy and the parody value made it and Rebecca famous, but the scam company wanted all the money off of it. So now the one time their company didn’t just cause parents and teens to lose money, they were hell bent on robbing a freaking middle schooler.
That’s why it’s so great to see her have a hit single at 19. To show the world and everyone who laughed at her or treated her like a joke (and that probably includes the people who scammed her and made the Friday video, then tried to rob her once it went viral) that the jokes not on her. She has talent and she’s going to make it!
