I found this online handy list of helpful instructions for Negros. Make a copy, and review it constantly.
“…it all comes down to not resisting arrest.”
Don’t stop resisting arrest. Never stop resisting resisting arrest. Also, don’t put your hands up. Police view this as deadly force. If you do put your hands up especially when ordered by police you will be shot dead.
Don’t walk to the store walk on the street drive a car ride a bus or train especially don’t sit on a park bench. These in many circumstances these are viewed as capital offences. Don’t defend yourself. while walking home unarmed. A white vigilante stalking you in an SUV with loaded guns will see that as just cause to kill you. The police, but especially judges will agree.
If you insist on being a Negro working in a gas station. Don’t play your music. A white man who might not share your particular musical preferences. They’ll call the police who may, and have at times shot Negros dead for this offense.
Don’t defend yourself. Not ever in any circumstance as this will be seen as attempted murder on your part. Don’t commit petty misdemeanors,…well you shouldn’t anyway. However this usually gets small fines or verbal warnings if you’re white. If you ain’t that can, and will get you shot in the face. Also, don’t mind your own business and be sure to mind your own business. Don’t obey or disobey the laws.
Don’t drive a car. Don’t question white authority. Don’t show too much deference to white authority as this seems fishy. Don’t ever question any white man woman or child. This can get you killed.
Don’t stay home hiding in your house. Police will kick your door in, and kill you. Then they’ll find out they had the wrong address. They’ll have a good laugh then go next door, and kill the right Negro.
Everything above has in recent times happened. It’s still happening, and will continue to happen. So please keep this list with you at all times. Unless the police find it assume you’re subversive, and shoot you on general principal.
Otherwise have a nice day, and Happy Halloween.
Uncle Remus and that little white kid were getting up to all kinds of scandalous activities out back, sort of like High John the Conquerer meets Joy Boy, if you remember that old blue zine. This is the remake I want to see; and then let life imitate art.
