"GUN SMOKE"

I remember back in da day,when they called Brownsville Bklyn,NY. "Gun Smoke".This was due to the rough & tough community.The gun violence there today has escalated 10x,due to the availability of  fire arms.This is a common problem in most of America's inner cities,especially in communities of color.Guns the new weapon of mass destruction,young Black  men shooting each other.Cops shooting unarmed Black men,armed Black men shooting cops.As the body count continues to rise,there seems to be no significant attempt to stop the flooding of guns into communities plagued with gun violence.My question is why?These communities have gun buybacks every year,this hasn't reduced the amount of guns still in the community nor the killings.With guns still being flooded into the community,reaching the hands of young adults.Why haven't local elected officials demanded from Law enforcement,greater measures be taken to stop the flooding of guns into communities of color.Someone asked me what my view was on the bullet buyback initiative,I felt that question really insulted my intelligence.The gun buyback isn't working,so why would anyone believe.Buying bullets back would work,that's just dumb to me.Or is it just away to appease gullible people.The people greatly effected by this issue have to turn up the heat on local elected officials,demanding the flooding of guns be stopped."By Any Means Necessary".This means not taking no for a answer nor believing false promises.The death toll is too high for compromise.Action must be taken now,greater measures is the solution.People must insist that this be done.Attend your local elected official community meeting and "Turn Up" the demand to stop weapons from reaching the community. Sit ins at city halls and state capitals,everyone  must be involved in this initiative to prevent more death by the gun.This can happen with planning & consistent pressure by the people who's loved ones are being killed.Not only them,the people who haven't been directly effected must also stand in alliance on this agenda.Just as Americans have a right to bear arms,Americans also have a right to live in gun free communities."Gun Smoke" is filling the air in communities of color.Time to clear the air.....No Violence-Know Peace!

"UNFINISHED BUSINESS IN 2016"

The movement for "Black Lives Matter" began near the end of 2014,still incomplete until the Justice system overhauls certain judicial policies.Guns a continuing to be flooded into  communities of color,in Americas inner cities.Stopping of Gentrification Black communities in NYC.Breaking the cycle of single parent homes,promotion of whole families by way of marriage.Prevention of "Racism's" brutal agenda.Supporting our youth &young  adults who are working to change society,for a better future.Continuing the push for Unity in the Black community.Awareness to Empowerment.Motivation by Education.More of walkin the walk,less of talkin the talk.Real love between Black men & woman.Stopping the schools to prison pipeline.More Accountability,less blaming.Making a sacrifice for the good of all.More Anger & Outrage when comes to Gun Violence in Black communities.Self exploitation prevention,perpetrated by trouble youth & young adults.Less sperm donors more Fathers.Giving children chances,some of us never had.Breaking the cycle of being intimidated by self inflicted fear.Turn hopelessness back into hope.Accomplish missions with out being distracted.More reaching back,less looking back.....No Violence-Know Peace!

"OUR TIME AND WE'RE BLOWING IT,BIG TIME"

In 2008 the election of a Blackman for President in America. MLK was the"Dreamer",Barack H. Obama is the "Achiever".Now what have we done to capitalize on one of Black culture's greatest moments in America's history?Well I've seen us act as if it's meaningless,due to our failure to recognize our greatest achievement.We have turned glory into gory by our taking it for granted attitudes.We have left the President to stand alone in making our conditions better,not willing to step in the ring and fight for ourselves.Distracted by our own self centered goals,shall we go down in history as fools.Who had the opportunity to unite as a people,during the Presidency of a Blackman. What do we say to our children,how will we explain our failure? 8yrs to make a difference in Black culture,going on 8yrs. What have we done.Not showing up at the polls for the Midterm Elections,When our President needed us.How dare we choose to be so blind,always complaining & blaming.Fueling Racism by our lack of courage to step up as a people.We need all of us,not just some of us.Must we continue to suffer from self inflicted pain.We have so much awareness,still we refuse to act on this moment in history.Where is our pride and determination?We hate truth about ourselves and what part we play in our communities conditions.We have less than 1yr left,will we do something different or continue the same course?The world is watching and waiting for us to rise as a people,to change our status in America.We've never been quitters,history proves we've always been winners.Champions of civil & equal rights.Now lets continue our advancement for our children and us as a whole.Right now,not tomorrow,this instance.We don't have anytime to waste,we've wasted enough time already.This is about us,so it's up to us.We've had a "Dreamer & Achiever",now must we be "Believers"............No Violence-Know Peace!

"RACISM IN AMERICA SINCE THE ELECTION OF BARACK H. OBAMA"

Since the election of Barack H.Obama,racism has escalated to new heights.Blacks have been brutalized & killed by local law enforcement.These acts of violence have been perpetrated by White officers.Black unarmed men have been targeted by cowardly White officers of the law. Excessive force has become the norm,when it comes to Blacks even woman.When complaints are filed against these officers,the victim rarely receives justice.This is due to more Racism being practiced by the justice system.White people are being treated very differently when they have encounters with law enforcement. I've yet to see a case where Black officers have brutalized or killed a White unarmed man or woman.The nations media also has a intricate part in this,by the way they report and distort the story of what really happened in such incidents.This is 2014 yet this kind of blatant Racism,has the remnants of the 60's during the Civil Rights Movement.Voting rights of Black folks tampered with by racist who will do whatever they have too.To prevent Blacks in certain states from voting,creating bogus rules for ID,intimidation,etc.Racism uses sellout Blacks for their racist agenda.These are the the Blacks who infiltrate Black Movements.And pretend to be part of the movement.Black America is under attack by America's own citizens who are racist.Young Black men going to prison at a astronomical rate.Racism has always been prevalent in America,never has it been this overt since slavery.Blacks suffering from poverty,unemployment,etc.,caused by Racism.The election of a Black man to highest office in America has really angered Racism in America.Racism is so angry that if some of their own suffers,it's just collateral damage to them.Black folks it's time to pull out the blueprints from the 60's Civil Rights Movement,modify them and put them to use to combat racism in America.Blacks must be critical thinkers in the quest for equality,proactive not reactive.It's time to be unpredictable not predictable.It's time once again for a serious "Black Peoples Movement" against Racism and it's horrendous agenda.No more standing by while racist incident after incident against Black folk continues to climb. President Obama will be in office until 2016,God willing.Black folk must act now,by strategy-zing & utilizing ways to combat Racism in America. I charge you Black America to stand up for what is right and best for our culture.We must believe as a majority not as a minority.Boycotts & Sit-ins work,time to put them to real use.We must send a message of no more attacks on our rights as citizens of America. Racism is not in fear of us,nor should we be in fear of Racism.We must not be reckless in our thinking and actions against Racism,cause Racism is counting on it. That Black folk will be unorganized.Racism is afraid of God,so may God lead us spiritually.........No Violence-Know Peace

"SELF EXPLOITATION"

Just because you come from the"Hood",don't mean you have to look or act like a "Ratchet Hood Rat Chick". A lot of young Black women are looking more and more like clowns. Some how believing they look good.Green,blue,multi-colored raggedy weaves,that look like 2 cats had a fight in.Obese with tight clothes on,ratchet lipstick color and tattoos everywhere,believing their sexy.Self exploiting themselves,cause they're seeking attention from young Black men.No or very low self esteem.Their conversation is always about some ignorance.Listen my young Black women,real young Black men don't want you.Cause you ain't wifey material.You can't even look in the mirror at the real you.Crazy lookin eyelashes.Some of you believe your what men want.Only men that want you, are the men with the same "Hood Rat"mentality as you.And all they want is what's between your legs.Now let's talk about some of the older Black women who are tryin to look like you,instead of leading by example of what you should look like.Believe it or not they have the same issues you have.What makes it worse is,they're more desperate than you for attention.Cause they're getting older and don't wanna grow up.They would rather be immature than mature.So they practice self exploitation too.Some of them are your mothers.Now some Black women who read this may be offended by this blog,their ignorant mindset will tell them it's just hatin on them.Well no ones hatin,this is a wake up ladies.Some know this is truth and still will be in denial.If your lookin for a real Black man,then it's time to up grade, and get rid of the clown look.If a man or anyone won't pay you any attention,cause of how you look naturally.You don't need them for you to feel good about you.Start exercising self  pride.Raise your self esteem by looking in the mirror at the real you,and saying your beautiful.That you don't have to make yourself up like a clown.You have a choice,being from the "Hood",doesn't mean you have to be a "Hood Rat Chic".Young Black women you represent Black culture.Volunteering to exploit yourselves is not the way to go. I've seen some young Black women who stand out cause they don't look like you.They have a aura of self confidence about the way they look.And they're from the hood too.They display pride in their swagger.I'm writing this cause I care about young Black women who need to be made aware of the fact.That just as clowns are laughed at,you are being laughed at too,Time to have a revelation that,"Self Exploitation" is not the way to go.........No Violence-Know Peace!
