3-0: Our Defeat To Manchester City Was My Fault – David Luiz

3-0: Our Defeat To Manchester City Was My Fault – David Luiz

David Luiz said he was to blame after he gave away a penalty and collected red card in their match against Manchester City yesterday.

Arsenal defender David Luiz accepted responsibility for their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, but said he still hopes to play for the club again. Luiz, who is out of contract at the end of the month, was sent off to cap an error-strewn return to action.“It’s my fault,” the 33-year-old said. “The team did well, especially with 10 men.

The coach is amazing, all the players are amazing, it was my fault.”I want to be here. The coach knows. He wants me to stay.” Luiz only joined Arsenal last summer – moving from Chelsea on deadline day for £8m – but he was left on the bench against City amid confusion surrounding his contract status. He came on in the 24th minute after Pablo Mari was injured, and was at fault for Raheem Sterling’s opener. He then hauled down Riyad Mahrez to give away a penalty and was sent off. The suspension will mean he has played his final game for Arsenal unless he extends his deal.

“I should have taken a different decision in the last two months but I didn’t,” he told Sky Sports.“All about my contract, if I stay here or not. I have 14 days to be here and that’s it. I should have tried to decide my future as early as possible, but I didn’t.”I don’t want to use that as an alibi or excuse, it’s my fault – that’s it.

I love to be here. That’s why I continue to train hard.” Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would not criticise the defender, and said his display would have no bearing on a decision to exercise the option on his contract.“He has spoken in the dressing room,” Arteta said. “David is someone who is very honest. Culled from BBC Sports

George Floyd's brother tells UN 'black lives do not matter' in US

George Floyd's brother tells UNITED NATIONS 'black lives do not matter' in USA

George Floyd's brother on Wednesday begged the UN to help African Americans because "black lives do not matter" in the US".

And the UN's human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, urged reparations for centuries of discrimination.

Philonise Floyd, whose brother was killed in police custody, made an impassioned speech by video link to an urgent UN Human Rights Council debate on "systemic racism" in the US and beyond.

Ms Bachelet, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said the "gratuitous brutality" of Floyd's death was an example of racism that harmed millions of people of African descent.

She urged countries to confront the legacy of slavery and colonialism, and to make reparations.

The council, in Geneva, is debating a draft resolution pushing for Ms Bachelet to investigate racism and police civil liberties breaches against people of African descent in the US.

US President Donald Trump withdrew America from the council two years ago.

Floyd, 46, died in Minneapolis on May 25 after a white police officer, who has since been charged with murder, knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Video of the incident sparked demonstrations in the US and around the world, and calls to address systemic racism.

Mr Floyd told the UN that his brother had been "tortured to death" as witnesses begged the officer to stop, "showing us black people the same lesson, yet again: black lives do not matter in the United States of America".

"You in the United Nations are your brothers' and sisters' keepers in America, and you have the power to help us get justice for my brother, George Floyd.

"I am asking you to help him. I am asking you to help me. I am asking you to help us black people in America."

Mr Floyd urged the council to establish an independent international commission of inquiry – one of the UN's highest-level investigations, generally reserved for crises such as the Syrian conflict.

An initial text presented on Tuesday on behalf of 54 African countries also proposed such an inquiry.

But the proposal was dropped and the resolution heavily watered down after opposition from Washington and some of its allies.

It now calls on Ms Bachelet to "establish the facts and circumstances relating to the systemic racism, alleged violations of international human rights law and abuses against Africans and people of African descent" by law enforcement in the US and beyond – especially those incidents that resulted in deaths.

The aim was "to ensure the accountability of perpetrators and redress for victims".

Ms Bachelet told the council that Floyd's death had brought to a head the sense of outrage felt by overlooked people and that the protests were "the culmination of many generations of pain".

"Behind today's racial violence, systemic racism and discriminatory policing lies the failure to acknowledge and confront the legacy of the slave trade and colonialism," the former Chilean president said.

Ms Bachelet stressed the need to "make amends for centuries of violence and discrimination, including through formal apologies, truth-telling processes and reparations in various forms."

On Tuesday, Mr Trump issued an order to improve policing, calling for a ban on choke holds, unless an officer's life were at risk.

The executive order encourages training in easing tension, better recruitment, sharing of data on officers who have bad records, and money to support police in complicated duties related to people with mental or drug issues.

But it stopped well short of demands made at nationwide protests.

Andrew Bremberg, the US ambassador to the UN in Geneva, said his country was open in its commitment to addressing racial discrimination and injustice, giving Mr Trump's order as an example.

"We call upon all governments to demonstrate the same level of transparency and accountability," Mr Bremberg said.

"Sadly, there are too many places in the world where governments commit grave violations of human rights and practise systematic racial discrimination, while many of those assembled in Geneva are silent."

It remains to be seen whether the current draft resolution will pass.

The UN Human Rights Council's 47 members are due to vote on the resolution after the urgent debate, which was set to conclude on Thursday.

Wednesday marks only the fifth time in the council's 14-year history that it has agreed to hold an "urgent debate", which is like a special session but within a regular meeting of the council.

If Your Church Isn’t Saying ‘Black Lives Matter,’ It’s Time To Walk Away

I’m a white Christian female who faithfully attends church every Sunday. (For now during quarantine, we attend online church.) Three years ago before we were mourning the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd, my family left the white evangelical church. We were tired of the country’s political climate as well as sensing that our children were often appreciated, but not truly seen. We are now members of a predominantly black church—a place that our multiracial family feels safe, welcomed, and supported.

This past Sunday, I held my breath, waiting to see what fellow white Christians would tell me about their church services. Would their white pastors speak out directly against racism, proclaim Black Lives Matter, and urge their congregants to join the uprising as white allies? What I feared—and what many of my own social media followers told me—happened. Many pastors opted to either completely ignore George Floyd’s murder (instead adhering to business as usual) or preached vague messages of peace and love. Some even threw in a MLK quote for good measure. Now white Christians have a choice to make. They know where their pastoral leadership stands. Do they stay, or do they walk away?

Christians are supposed to love others as they love themselves. The Bible is clear as day on this. The Bible also says faith without works is dead. Is prayer important in a believer’s life? It’s supposed to be. However, it’s not the sole method of loving God and others. Christians are supposed to be in-action, or as the Bible says, the hands and feet of Jesus. Another verse commands Christians to be “salt and light.”

You may have left the church, or decided it wasn’t for you in the first place, because you believe Christians are hypocrites. They say one thing and do another. I empathize with this pain. Why aren’t congregations across the country on their knees praying for people of color and then taking action by reading books on anti-racism, joining the protests, and electing woke candidates into governmental positions? If you have been jaded by the church, you are certainly not alone.

Jesus was melanin-rich and radical. There’s story after story of not only the miracles he performed, but the times he would do something shocking, like flip tables when he’d had enough. He’d take breaks to be alone and pray, then he’d get right back in the game of changing human lives. He traveled extensively with his crew: the twelve disciples, and he had no issue telling them when they were acting a fool. My point is, he wasn’t weak or shy. He had a purpose, and most of all, he would help the ones who were suffering the most at any given time.

Some white Christians believe politics and social justice have no place in church. They prefer to sit comfortably in pews, sway to music, and hear sermons that coddle their fragility—messages that don’t rock the boat. They are quick to condemn what they believe to be wrong without every recognizing that they are, in fact, upholding white supremacy by doing nothing. They are dangerous, and they don’t even know it, oblivious that their silence is quite loud. They also believe that by sponsoring African children, using diversity stock photos on their websites, and being nice to people of color (including their “one black friend”), they are clearly not-racist. (Ahem, tokenism much?)

I truly believe that churches, just like each person, are either anti-racist or racist. Author Ibram X. Kendi explains that there’s no gray area or neutrality when it comes to racism. This doesn’t mean that a person can’t be on a journey to anti-racism. In fact, I argue that being anti-racist is continuous. It’s not like you take some sort of Racism 101 class and when it’s over, you’re no longer going to make any mistakes

Likewise, pastors do not have to have a perfectly packaged, polished message to address racism in America. I understand the fear of saying the wrong thing, especially when you don’t have the language or experience. However, saying nothing is saying something: that black lives do not matter. There also shouldn’t be just one sermon or Bible study on racism, equity, and justice within churches. Racism has been around a long time, created by white people, and it’s not going to disappear overnight. Dismantling racism and learning to become white allies is a process.

A pastor who claims God loves everyone should also be willing to lay down his life for another. That’s what a true friend does, as the Bible says. We are supposed to be putting others before ourselves. We are also commanded to empathize, to weep with those who weep.

If white Christians continue to support their complacent and “neutral” churches with their efforts and dollars, they are choosing to continue to harm their black brothers and sisters. Subjecting children to whitewashed, white privileged teachings means raising future racists. Likewise, giving tithes (that Christian talk for financial donations to the church) to an entity that upholds whiteness is feeding white supremacy

I wouldn’t be where I am today without my faith. Without it, I’m truly not sure I would have survived my battle with breast cancer or my near-death experience in an emergency room. There were times, God’s love and peace were the only things that sustained me through trauma. It’s because I have witnessed racism against my children and our family’s own journey to find a church that we feel is a refuge, that I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Black Lives Matter.

Dear fellow white Christian, I want you to be able to say the same. Not with trepidation or skepticism, but with conviction, because you already know what is right. Because you already know what Jesus would do. You just need to muster up the courage to say yes: and then go find yourself a new house of worship.

Kanye West Will Pay For George Floyd’s Daughter’s College Education

Kanye West has pledged $2 million to the families of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor

Celebrities, politicians, and public figures have been stepping up in major ways in response to the horrific murder of George Floyd at the hands of four Minneapolis police officers, who have all been charged with their role in the police brutality death. From actively protesting in demonstrations across the country and donating money to help bail out protestors who have been arrested, to using their platform to educate the world about racism and white privilege, stars such as Chrissy Teigen, Steve Carell, and Halsey are walking the talk. This week, Kanye West put his money where his beliefs are, not only making a major financial contribution but also actively protesting in his hometown of Chicago.\West, who has openly endorsed President Donald Trump on various occasions, confirmed to CNN that he was pledging $2 million to support the families of Floyd; Ahmaud Arbery, the Black man who was shot during a jog by two white men outside of Brunswick, GA; and Breonna Taylor, the Kentucky EMT who was shot and killed by three police officers after they entered her apartment by force. The donation will go towards legal fees for Arbery and Taylor’s families, in addition to Black-owned businesses in crisis.

Additionally, he established a 529 education plan to fully cover college tuition for Gianna, Floyd’s 6-year-old daughter, who appeared on Good Morning America this week opening up about her late father for the first time. “I miss him,” she declared. She also revealed she has a serious career aspiration — so, the tuition pledged by West should come in handy. “I know what I want to be when I grow up,” Gianna said. “A doctor. So I can help people.”

On Thursday, West even joined Chicago Public School students in a peaceful march, demanding that Chicago keeps police officers out of their schools.

“We brought the city out yesterday and I didn’t even have to tell them Kanye was coming lol,” Black Lives Matter activist and protest organizer Ja’Mal Green tweeted. “He just wanted to march, no talking, no cameras. This not political when you have been brutalized in your communities growing up! Thank you guys for coming.”

“We’re doing this because we need the CPD out of our schools,” another organizer, Jalen Jobayashi, told NBC Chicago. “We live in an over-militarized, over-surveillance state. We are living in a state where police are out here killing out kids on their way to and from school.”

One thing is for sure: The declaration Gianna made earlier in the week in a now-viral video is true, “Daddy changed the world.”

Nigerian Hackers Sold Out Hushpuppi To Interpol After He Failed To Send Them The $35 Million

Embattled instagram big boy, Huspuppi and his friends, were sold out to the the FBI and Interpol after they cheated their Nigerian assocuates who orchestrated the $35 million SCAM

According to the blogger, the operation was carried out by a group of hackers in Nigeria who contacted Huspuppi, Woodberry and Efe to pick up the money in Dubai and send to them in Nigerian.

The blogger noted that Hushpuppi and co withdrew the $35 million and lied to their Nigerian brothers that the money received was just $ 5 million. As if that is not enough, Hush and his crew sent down $1 million out of the supposed $ 5 million.

This infuriated the Nigerian based hackers into leaking all evidences to the interpol and the FBI, connecting the operation to Hushpuppi and his friends. He added that the Interpol have no case against Hushpuppi but are holding him under the RICO acts.
