BODY COUNT 2014,IN THE MIDTERM ELECTION YEAR!
2014 children still killing children,youth still killing youth,mothers still burying their children.Reckless law enforcement using deadly force,causing the death of unarmed Blackmen etc.The body count continues to rise in our inner cities.Gang Violence still surges in our communities.Are we making any progress in the struggle against nation wide Gun Violence?Is there still hope?Do we need a better plan or solutions?It's also a election year.There's a lot politicians counting on our votes.Most are offering solutions to the economy & jobs and have you noticed the unemployment rate,suddenly has dropped.Not for Black Americans though.Still the body count keeps rising.When is more focus going to be put on Stopping the Gun Violence and saving our children.Where's the plan for that?Seems to me Corporate America is closing old prisons and building new prisons to house more inmates & convicts,who are coming from our communities.Now what can we do the voters?How can we make the power of the vote make a greater impact in saving our children.We can't boycott the polls,that won't produce anything.So how do we make those who are running for office or reelection accountable for change in our communities concerning Gun Violence?We must some how make it clear,that we no longer stand for the "banana in the tail pipe" solutions that have not worked.Through unity we can form committees to meet with those who seek office.These committees should be made up of community activists & Orgs.,clergy,youth & young adults,people of the community at large & business owners.Not allowing to be swayed by excuses or false promises.The power of the peoples vote can bring real change to communities,So long as we use it right.We can empower ourselves by standing side by side on this plan....NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!

"MID TERM ELECTION 2014,CAN WE GET WHAT WE NEED IN OUR COMMUNITIES"?
This Mid Term Election ,how can we make the power of our vote count?First of all what are the most important issues in our communities that need to be made priorities by our elected officials,who are seeking reelection in our communities in 2014."Gun Violence" the "Plague" that has consumed our communities,by way of our troubled youth & young adults committing self inflicted genocide.Stopping the availability of weapons in our communities.This issue needs to be the number 1 priority,by demanding solutions & commitment in saving our children's lives,in exchange for our votes. Elected officials budgets to be used to fund constructive programs for troubled youth & young adults from low income families,such as education,mentoring,teen pregnancy,after school programs & support of community Orgs.,who's missions are to provide services for troubled youth & young adults.The creation of "Jobs" in our communities.Whoever opens a business in our communities "must hire the people who live in the community at large,this should be a "Policy" in order for businesses to operate in our communities,especially small businesses,such as 99cent stores,etc..The creation of a board of Overseers,who's purpose is to ensure our elected officials keep their promises.Our votes count and are sought after by those who want to be elected or reelected.In 2014 we can change the way we vote by not letting our vote be taken for granted.Any one who's running for office in our communities,needs to show & prove their being elected into office will produce better conditions in our communities.Our taxes pay their salaries and we have to pay taxes.Let election 2014 be year of real change in our communities...NO VIOLENCE=KNOW PEACE!

AMERICA'S INNER CITY YOUTH ARE ON THE MOVE!
There are some inner city youth who have said "Enough is Enough",and have begun to organize in order to "Stop the Violence" in their communities & schools.Some of them are as young as 14yrs old who are leading this movement.They are no longer waiting for the adults from the communities at large that suffer from the "Plague" of "Gun of Violence" to wake up,stand up & step up.Their on the move through communities & school that they live in & attend and those outside their own.These youth & young adults are recruiting ex gang members and others as they continue to blaze a "Shake Off the Violence" campaign from state to state.So far they are 12 states strong and counting.Coming to a community near you real soon.I admire these youngsters for their courage and strength and not giving up attitude.If they quit,it would like giving up on themselves and the future of America's inner city troubled youth who are committing "Genocide" across the nation.
MESSAGE TO THE ADULTS:
Adults,mothers & fathers,community activists,local community leaders,church leaders need to stand along side these fearless young men and woman.Give them the support they need in our to help "Save Our Children".There are no more excuses,reasons etc.not to "Wake up,Stand up & Step up.Men we gotta "Man up,cause our troubled youth are being systematically set up to fail...NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!

THE EVOLVING OF BULLYING
I grew up in a time when being bullied by someone didn't have the impact that it has today.Bullies prey on the weak,timid & the person who at times is different from everyone else.Such as gay,smart or looked upon as nerds. Today's bullies are not just youth & young adults.Their adults who are pedophiles who gain their victims trust before violating them sexually.College students abusing other students in a variety of ways,with no regard of the damage it results in nor consequences.Today our children & young adults are committing suicide in epidemic proportions due to bullying.Today there are prevention programs to prevent bullying.Are they working,the statistics say no.Schools have prevention programs,there are community activist against bullying. US States have setup special anti bullying campaigns.I say more parents need to be involved.After all these are their children.The parents of children who are bullies need to be involved.Even the teachers in schools are afraid of the bullies and the parents who some breed their children to be bullies. Technology has taken bullying to a higher level.Bullying can be done by internet,cell phone,etc.Parents really need to step up their surveillance of who their child is talking to on their cell & chatting with on the internet.Start being aware of signs of change of behavior,who their friends are and who they give their personal info to.Start screening calls & ask for back ground checks of coaches in school.Saving our children from physical and mental harm must be a major priority,starting in the home.Our children need to know they can count on their parents to protect them from bullies & sexual predators.Teach our children how to protect themselves and when to call for help.It's up to us the parents to "Save Our Children"..........NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!

"METHOD TO THE MADNESS"
'
Lets see for as far as I can remember,most of America's inner city communities have always suffered from some sort of "Plague".In the 60's & 70's it was the Heroin epidemic,which caused serious addiction & death from overdoses.This went on until a certain element of America's society started to be effected by this "Plague".Which led to solutions & action to address the problem.Then there was the 80's and the epidemic of Crack Cocaine & the HIV virus.This caused major damage to most of Americas inner-city communities of color.This drug left families in shambles,also the increase of the prison population.Violence & Death began to escalate,communities began to crumble.The HIV virus was spreading like a wild fire amongst those who were crack addicts,gay & bisexual.Crack addicted children were being born at a enormous rate,resulting with children growing up with mental issues. Today they are the parents of the troubled youth & young adults who are shooting each other down.The HIV virus was also being spread by intravenous drug use.Most of all once again the incarceration & death of Black American males & females began to increase. Again it wasn't until a certain element of Americas society began to be effected by this inner city "Plague",were solutions & actions taken to prevent & stop it.Now there's the 90's to present day.Hold on a second,Drugs & Disease seem to have been the weapons used in inner city communities of Americas,which I believe was a form of "Genocide" to reduce the populations of color in the communities at large.Now where was I,oh yeah the 90's to present day."Gun Violence" the new and effective weapon,which is promoted by various sources.Guns readily available to youth & young adults for self inflicted Genocide.With no end insight to this "Plague" the death toll & prison population has grown a greater level as a result of this. That certain element of America's society,that I mentioned before,is not being effected by this Plague.Is there a pattern here or is it just me? "Gone are the days of flooding the inner city neighborhoods with drugs to control the population.Just make guns available to those who have no value for life and are willing kill their own.This Method is working,the Madness is those who are largely effected by it are allowing to......NO VIOLENCE-KNOW PEACE!

"HOW THE WEST COAST GANG VIOLENCE INFLUENCED EAST COAST GANG VIOLENCE"
For as long as I can remember the east coast had their own style in dance,fashion,music & street codes.East coast gangs back in the da day, were not slaughtering each other on a daily basis,like the gangs of today.Families in the community at large could have BBQ's with no worry of shootings.There was more value for life,yes there were turf wars at times,still babies were not casualties as a result of it.Some east coast gangs even protected their neighborhoods.Yes occasionally there were a few deaths.There was even respect for turfs.Guns were not the primary weapon in street rumbles,generally the weapons of choice was fist,knives,bats,chains & a occasional zip gun!Mothers & fathers were not burying their children at the rate they are today.During the 80's "crack" epidemic gun violence began to escalate in the east coast.The murder rate began to rise as did membership in old school gangs begin to diminish,which evolved into drug gangs.The west coast gangs from as far back in the 70's had serious a "gun violence issue,their influence on the east coast began in east coast prisons in the early 90's ,hence the birth of violent street gangs on the east coast,along with the ignorance of the dirty south.Which is the mind set of most troubled youth & young adults involved in gangs on the east coast. I know this was done by design, by those who want to see America's inner city troubled youth kill each other off.Its time for the east coast to get back to being a leader not a follower,perhaps its time to send a new message of change to the west coast & the dirty south,that they have been bamboozled by societies elite,who have a plan that does not include inner city youth gang members or communities of color for that matter.Through awareness & education this can be done.I know this is a tall order,due to the fact of the "crisis of gun violence",economy & social unrest" amongst youth & young adults is at the forefront of the "plague" of community problems .We start where we stand,this will lead to change for our children as well as adults.we owe it to our young as well as ourselves to change the direction of which our children are being led.Love for our children and better way of life for them must be a priority.It will be our own fault,if we do not begin to implement "change" now!
