As in one of the earlier blogs the statement was made that half the police force nationwide are cold blooded killers / murderers. How prophetic and true it has turned out to be. Not long after the publishing of that article, murders of blacks have occurred in Wisconsin, South Carolina and Maryland and Arizona at the hands of "law enforcement" personnel.
The most insulting insult to injury is the lying dude in AZ who claimed it could have happened to anyone and then for his reward for killing another 'Nigger' was that he be allowed to go an vacation in the Bahamas. Guess his red-necked superiors and the racist Governor of his state said 'good job'.
In New York City, the city's medical examiner took more than three days to rule that Mr Garner's death was a homicide. That psychological ploy worked to calm a few nerves, while the Klan's-men worked on having a grand jury comprised of only Caucasians of similar thinking that ultimately refused to indict the killer/murderer Daniel Pantaleo.
Staten Island, the scene of that horrific crime, was also the place where former representative Grimm was re-elected to public office, despite being caught on camera threatening a reporter with grievous bodily harm. Mr Grimm while under a cloud before the election, and knowing all too well he was guilty, proclaimed his innocence. He won the election before admitting guilt and being forced out of office. What does that mean to the taxpayer? [me and you John Q Public?] It means that crooked culprit will collect government (our taxpaying monies) funds after his incarceration ends.
Should the people of color expect to receive any justice from Staten Island? The vast majority of it's residents are pro-police and have a very stereotypical image of all blacks as the cause of crimes period, while they in turn keep electing crooked politicians like Mr Grimm. Albany, New York, is the scene of many a politician falling from grace due to corruption either financially or sexually. Sadly many of these same politicos are collecting government checks after being convicted for their crooked ways, and we the taxpayers are footing the bill.
Now let us examine the reality of "Law and Order" as pertaining to us people of color. Until all police departments have gotten rid of and are no longer filled with racist officers, and until the same can be said of the jury and judicial systems, we are sitting on a powder keg of dynamite with the fuse already lit and it's about to explode.
The Black Panther Party, came into being from black men being sick and tired of humiliating, disrespectful and abusive treatment from the hands of the police who thought and were sanctioned to treat blacks as if we were non-entities. The Panthers took up arms to resist this derogatory treatment and many young Black Panthers lost their lives in the struggle for the human rights of Blacks. Judges and other members of the judicial systems also came down hard against them, in effect it was total white domination against people of color in their struggle for their human dignity to be recognized. The Panthers insistence on their right to bear arms to prevent assaults on their persons by criminals masquerading as 'law enforcement', received the greatest publicity by the biased and racist media outlets.
What was not brought out to the public forefront was the food programs the Panthers had installed for the very poor in the black communities they lived in. Insensitive racist treatment, or rather the lack of helpful medical treatment to those who had very little or no funds to pay for such needed medical help and medicines, was also addressed by the Panthers, as well as attempting to get the proper education for the people of the Ghetto. While slowly gaining the love and support of their communities, it was these efforts that brought the system to go all out against them in the struggle for equality and justice.
The all out blitz by so-called law enforcement against the Black Panthers, and the fact that while some black men were willing to die for freedom, the white racist were willing to murder all blacks saw the old fear instilled by the Willie Lynch principles begin to rise.
Enter the Black Liberation Army. This came about as the Panthers began to disintegrate into splinter groups who had and have no inclination to cease from fighting for freedom. As we all know Joanne Chesimard, changed her name after fleeing to Cuba to avoid persecution after being shot in a gun battle with New Jersey State Troopers. While whites call her a criminal on the lam there are those in the black community that consider a her a heroine. it is no small fact that Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali simply because after winning a gold medal for the U.S.A. in the Olympics, he was denied the right to order food in a restaurant in his home town upon his return from the Olympic games.
While it is a well known fact that Blacks tend to kill each other over the most trivial of reasons, it must be recognized that this is a product of centuries of conditioning or programming of self hate directed against blacks. Not much brouhaha is done when white hate groups fire at local police or Federal agents.
As long as Eric Garner's death was ruled a homicide, and as long as New York City's judicial system refuses to indict those responsible for his death, this is nothing more than laying the ground work for civil disobedience. When those that that are supposed to uphold the sanctity of the law to the utmost, blatantly disregard the rules for themselves to the chagrin of others, then there is no justice. If one has a dog and kicks that dog every day and time he gets home, one day that same dog will bite back.
We are not dogs! We are truly human beings that have built this country literally. Our contributions range from the invention of peanut butter to the traffic signal to refrigeration systems. There are countless other Items and deeds which Blacks have contributed to this country, all of which they have received no thanks of gratitude, no laurels, and no great quotation from any President. And speaking of Presidents, the current one in office will be recorded as a spineless, gutless President who refused to even open his mouth and give voice against the atrocities done to black men during his tenure for fear of alienating his white masters who put him in office.
The whole world saw the murder of Mr Garner on You-Tube. I am quite sure this coward of a President also saw it. And, not even a word of disbelief that a grand jury refused to indict the murderer or any of his henchmen? From the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and others not mentioned, from Ohio, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and Georgia, that his former stoolie who left the A.G's office, chose to close their eyes to the lynchings of black men during this presidents stay in office. In the words of the old saying 'The nuts are running the asylum', we can now say that 'the criminals are running the justice system' and there really is no justice for the poor.
While I have no answer for the ills of this society, the above article is offered as food for thought. And so my friends until next time, live well, be happy, make love, we bid you peace.
