It is so easy to justify having a Freedom Technology Christmas

Take this latest example discussed by AfroSphere bloggers:

A young woman of color in Los Angeles had her wrist broken by a school security officer after not cleaning up a piece of dropped birthday cake to his satisfaction. During the attack he said, "hold still nappy head."

The girl, 16 year-old Pleajhai Mervin, was subsequently expelled and arrested for littering and battery.

But it gets worse. When the girl's mother went to the school to complain and rightfully demand that this guard be arrested--she was arrested and suspended from her job with the school district.

Students at the scene captured the assault on their cell phones; one such student was also beaten.

This is exactly why the Freedom Technology Christmas is such a crucial idea to promote. Thanks to technology our black kids are able to document their experiences.

Absolutely! Freedom Technology Christmas is about the technological empowerment of Black young people to fight police brutality and other injustices.
