Friend Of Sandra Bland Says She Was ‘In Good Spirits’ Leading Up To Her Death

Something’s not adding up correctly.

Sandra Bland, the Melanoid woman whose body was found in her jail cell on Monday, July 13th, died as a result of what appeared to be a modern day lynching. The Naperville, IL native who made her way to Texas in pursuit of a job opportunity, and was arrested by Waller County (TX) cops at a traffic stop.

Here is the video of Sandra Bland’s arrest.

Ms. Bland, who used the power of social media to be vocal on such issues pertaining to Black Society, as evident in this video, was very open and sincere about the plight of Melanoid people in this racist/white supremacist society. However, authorities of Waller County, TX claim that her death was a suicide, and other people in the dominant society are implying that she suffered from depression based on a video that she recorded in March. You can see the video below.

As you can see below (on the left), she also showed spoke truth to power by changing her Facebook profile picture to a Melanoid Nation meme back in April:

Sandra Bland was fully aware of the current epidemic of police brutality towards Melanoid people, which prompted her to change her Facebook picture to this meme back in April.

Those who knew Ms. Bland best refuted claims of her being depressed and suicidal. LaVaughn Mosley, her friend and mentor, said the following in regards to her deceased friend’s overall well-being:

“She was in good spirits. She was looking forward to what was next. She was making plans for the future, so there’s no way she was in a suicidal state.”

Although depression is a serious issue in Black Society, we must consider the fact that much of this stems from the lingering effects of long-term subjugation at the hands of systematic racism/white supremacy. We also understand that one of the tactics of white supremacists is to assassinate the character of any Melanoid person–dead or alive–who seeks to openly challenge their system. Despite whatever personal issues (such as depression) that Ms. Bland would speak on in her viral videos, could she have possibly been murdered by the white supremacist jail workers because of her unapologetic approach to Black issues and the love for her people?

They killed this woman. Plain and simple. Those pieces of filth killed her! She was outspoken in her beliefs and ideas from what i have seen on her facebook page. I only wish i can meet a real sister like her who is unabashed in her thoughts towards white/pale supremacy. Payback is motherfucker. I am not writing out of emotion to an extent,but it will come back to whomever killed her while she was in that jail cell will pay dearly. Black/melanoid people: wake up and stop being scared when it comes to dealing with our enemies.

Being depressed doesn’t mean somebody will take their own life. You have to be in a serious struggle with yourself to do such a thing. It’s very hard to just pack up ,move to another state, and interview for a job if one is living on the edge of a serious bout of depression where they are close to committing suicide.
The act of suicide is well thought out and is process that the mind goes through. A suicidial person that far in process does not create new connections and make changes to improve their life. They cut people off,give things away, become very reclusive and can’t seem to find anything to look forward to.
This is crap about her killing herself and I hope whom ever did this to her is put under the jail.
