Source: Racist threats posted on Berkeley High library computer
These students have been under attack for a year, and it isn’t until something as graphic as this occurs, that the BHS administration takes action – and only after the students finally rebel to call attention to the problems? What is more painful is that Berkeley High’s Afrikan student population was saddened, but was not truly surprised that this has occurred.
What does that say about the adult administration of a school when Afrikan students are not surprised at terrorist threats of extrajudicial killing are directed against them?
If you recall, Niya Kenney just told her classmates in South Carolina to film a dangerous white racist cop the minute he stepped into her math class, because she “knew the situation was going to go downhill.” The ‘administrators’ of that school, Spring Valley High, called in a steroid hyped, dangerous, 300 lb white male cop to ‘remove’ a 16 year old Afrikan female child from class for ‘disturbing school’ by refusing to put away her cell phone and/or to leave the room for not doing so. This child – who might of weighed 100 lbs. give or take – was ‘removed’ from the room in handcuffs after being wrenched out of her desk by the neck and thrown across the room.
And in Berkeley, CA, the BHS administration obviously hasn’t de-escalated the level of racist threats to its Afrikan student population since the students have been under attack for a year. Racists are now able to hack into the school computer system to spread terrorist threats of degradation, and extrajudicial killing aimed at Afrikan students.
The rope in the tree didn’t get enough attention, neither did racist epithets slipped into the school year book. It took hacking into the school library’s computer system and promising a public lynching to get admin’s attention?
How dangerously unacceptable is that?
Across the country Afrikan children are being attacked, assaulted, threatened, jailed, murdered. These are not isolated incidents perpetrated by lone nut cases. This is systemic racism and genocidal history repeating itself.
It cannot be allowed to continue.

Multiple videos show school Police Officer Ben Fields brutally attacking a peaceful Black female high school student. Click here to demand Officer Fields be fired & prosecuted immediately, & that all charges are dropped against students he already victimized.
Source: Fire Officer Ben Fields
Yesterday, a school police officer in South Carolina was caught on video brutally attacking a Black female high school student as she sits in her classroom. It has to be seen to be believed.
Click here to see the video and join us in demanding that the officer be fired and prosecuted.
Officer Fields has a history of attacking students, who say they’ve complained about him for years. 1 This time, his violence was caught on camera, and it’s clearly unnecessary, malicious, and brutal.
Local police have asked the FBI and DOJ to investigate.2 But the videos of what happened provide more than enough evidence for local authorities to immediately fire Fields, arrest him, and prosecute him.
Join us in demanding that officer Fields be fired and prosecuted immediately, and that all charges are dropped against students already victimized by Fields.
Once you’ve signed the petition, please ask your friends and family to do the same.
Officer Fields is already facing a lawsuit from another student who says Fields targets Black students with false allegations of gang activity. Fields was also sued by a couple who say he viciously attacked and arrested them without provocation, kicking the man as he lay on the ground and emptying a bottle of pepper spray into his face.3
Students at the school say they are afraid of Fields, a bodybuilder who can lift hundreds of pounds, and who has often attacked and intimidated students. One student said on social media that she once witnessed Fields “slamming” a pregnant woman.4
Tony Robinson, the student who shot the video of this incident, says that the girl who Fields violently arrested had done nothing wrong. Robinson says she took out her cell phone for a minute during class, and a teacher asked her for it. She refused to give the teacher the phone, and the teacher called the vice principle. The vice principal asked the student to leave, and she refused, but she was very apologetic. The vice principle then called the police officer, who confronted the student and escalated the situation — and that’s when Robinson started taking video on his cell phone.5
It’s a perfect example of the school to prison pipeline that thwarts the education of Black children and criminalizes them unnecessarily. Over the last few decades, the number of police in schools has skyrocketed. Every year, thousands of students — a disproportionate number of them Black — are needlessly arrested and abused for simply being kids.
The student attacked by officer Fields has now been charged with “disturbing schools,” a crime punishable by up to 90 days in jail or a thousand dollar fine. 6 Another student who shot one of the videos was also charged, and she says she was arrested just for standing up for her classmate.7 Meanwhile, officer Fields — whose violence not only victimized one student, but also disrupted and traumatized an entire classroom — still has his job and is still being paid.
It’s outrageous. If enough of us speak out, we can shine a spotlight on local authorities that will create massive pressure for them to hold officer Fields accountable. But we need to act now, before the media moves on to the next story and we’re left to wait for an “investigation” that goes nowhere.
Join us in demanding accountability for officer Fields, and justice for the students he abused. And please ask your friends and family to do the same.
Thanks and Peace,
— Rashad, Arisha, Scott, Lyla and the rest of the ColorOfChange team.

This person is a prime example of a stone fool. Firstly, he’s a Republican, a party that has historical roots and a vested interest in enslaving and colonizing Afrikan thoughts, minds, bodies, and spirits. Next he tends to insert his foot deeply down his throat each and every time he opens his mouth. Unfortunately, this latest gaffe is about par for the course for him.

Racist threats posted on Berkeley High library computer
Source: Racist threats posted on Berkeley High library computer
These students have been under attack for a year, and it isn’t until something as graphic as this occurs, that the BHS administration takes action – and only after the students finally rebel to call attention to the problems? What is more painful is that Berkeley High’s Afrikan student population was saddened, but was not truly surprised that this has occurred.
What does that say about the adult administration of a school when Afrikan students are not surprised at terrorist threats of extrajudicial killing are directed against them?
If you recall, Niya Kenney just told her classmates in South Carolina to film a dangerous white racist cop the minute he stepped into her math class, because she “knew the situation was going to go downhill.” The ‘administrators’ of that school, Spring Valley High, called in a steroid hyped, dangerous, 300 lb white male cop to ‘remove’ a 16 year old Afrikan female child from class for ‘disturbing school’ by refusing to put away her cell phone and/or to leave the room for not doing so. This child – who might of weighed 100 lbs. give or take – was ‘removed’ from the room in handcuffs after being wrenched out of her desk by the neck and thrown across the room.
And in Berkeley, CA, the BHS administration obviously hasn’t de-escalated the level of racist threats to its Afrikan student population since the students have been under attack for a year. Racists are now able to hack into the school computer system to spread terrorist threats of degradation, and extrajudicial killing aimed at Afrikan students.
The rope in the tree didn’t get enough attention, neither did racist epithets slipped into the school year book. It took hacking into the school library’s computer system and promising a public lynching to get admin’s attention?
How dangerously unacceptable is that?
Across the country Afrikan children are being attacked, assaulted, threatened, jailed, murdered. These are not isolated incidents perpetrated by lone nut cases. This is systemic racism and genocidal history repeating itself.
It cannot be allowed to continue.
