According to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, “ in a split second, a police officer’s life can be placed in great jeopardy.” (Frank Rosario, 2012)
Considering, this must be a trying task to keep everyone (citizens) safe from harm, danger and if you’re privy to old 1950’s American television, even getting one’s cat out of a tree.
But, I’m actually going to ask YOU (reader) to journey back with me even deeper into the root problem and begin this thesis from the 1700’s.
I know. MOST of you will say, “we’re not living in the days of slavery anymore” and blah blah blah. Just bear with me while I give you a new pair of lenses and we can determine my so-called lunacy together after you “humor” me.
Writers Note: (Those of you familiar with my writing style since my 1st blog will attest, this will be filled with definitions, quotes, my own sarcasm and bottom line unrelenting factual unapologetic truth. You’ve been warned.)
Slavery in America was for the sake of labor. For the liberation of The Republic, which was the original thirteen colonies that formed North America, from the British Empire, The Declaration of Independence was drafted and The United States of America was formed. All the while, every name signed to this document held (so-called) Black slaves a plenty for their fields and their homes.
Note: (I say so-called because I do not uphold the term “Black” for myself or my people due to its origin meaning OBJECT denouncing any kind of human value that I or my like colored people may hold. It is also a term to aid the mind control associated with it from the slew of negative terms found in the English & American English language as shown in every dictionary in existence. Also refer to my 1st blog for a listing of the dictionary meanings)
During this time moreover, there was a lot of cloak & dagger’s and smoke & mirror’s as far as the position from either side (North or South) that upheld or were against slavery due to higher numbers for “their” war. Hence, I say THEIR war because WE (Nubian people, so-called Blacks) were not regarded as human beings still to this date. So, in all actuality, this had NOTHING to do with US. Yes, we were used to tip the scales of balance in numbers and power in the fight and bloodshed and misery this all caused, but were NOT included in the benefit of liberty that was the reason behind all of this.
Now, I must remind you (reader) of the importance of all this here. Imagine, if you would, the psychological mind state of all parties involved ay this time in HIStory.
If your job was to herd, whip and sell people like animals then you must see them as such or risk your sanity. From the auction block, jokes and imagery of Africans as savage heathens and apes, swept through cotton fields and upward into the halls of power. Racial ideology, the belief that a physical difference between humans determines their place in society, rose from the material practice of slavery. In his 1781 book Notes on the State of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson equated blacks to animals, writing that they don’t feel love or pain. “Their griefs are transient,” he wrote “Those numberless afflictions…are less felt, and sooner forgotten with them.” (Powers, 2012)
At this time, let me address the indentured servants that existed and were not Nubians or so-called Black. Yes! They did exist! And as much as I love this argument that I come across whenever some within the conversation begin to “feel some sorta way” let me expound upon this issue with fact.
“Europeans paid with their labor for the costs of transport to the colonies. They contracted for such arrangements because of poor economies in their home countries. Between 1680 and 1700, as fewer Europeans migrated to the colonies, planters began to import more Africans as slaves.” (Wikipedia, 2012)
Ok, ok, ok. I can feel some of you getting restless. So let’s fast forward to the present. It is now 2012 in the year of this typing. That’s 212 years after 1800. Two centuries. Let’s see how far we’ve grown? No, I won’t do that. You can look it up. But I will walk you through the present and the former.
March 3rd, 1991. Rodney Glen King is speeding down the Foothill Freeway (Interstate 210) in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. According to King, he didn’t pull over because he thought a DUI would violate his parole after being spotted by two police officers. When he is finally pulled over and out of the vehicle, he receives 56 baton blows (some to the head) and 6 kicks. He is then cord cuffed and hand cuffed and dragged on his stomach to the side of the road. King was then escorted to the hospital where it was revealed he suffered 11 skull fractures, permanent brain damage, broken bones and teeth, kidney damage [and] emotional and physical trauma. Nurses at Patricia Hospital also reported that the officers who were there openly joked about how many times he was beaten.
The same first five police officers to arrive at the scene after the chase, which repeatedly beat an unarmed (African-American) male and openly jokes about the incident at the hospital were Sergeant Stacey Koon, Laurence Powell, Timothy Wind, Theodore Briseno and Rolando Solano. They were all acquitted of any charges against them for this heinous act. And although the President of the day was George Bush Sr. and reportedly said he, his wife and his children were stunned by the verdict and the Mayor of L.A. at the time, Tom Bradley was quoted to say that "the jury's verdict will not blind us to what we saw on that videotape. The men who beat Rodney King do not deserve to wear the uniform of the L.A.P.D." Nothing changed this until after the riots of Los Angeles in 1992 when it was reported that casualties included 53 deaths, 2,383 injuries, more than 7,000 fires, damages to 3,100 businesses, and nearly $1 billion in financial losses.
March 9, 1993 ONLY because of the riots (I and many others feel) were Sergeant Stacey Koon and Officer Laurence Powell (2 of the 4) indicted and sentenced to 32 months in prison.
March 16th, 1991. Latasha Harlins was a 15 year old (African-American) girl just trying to buy a bottle of juice in a Korean store in L.A. where Soon Ja Du, age 51, shot and killed her. Du testified on her own behalf, stating that it was self-defense and that her life was in danger following the crooked story her and her husband told the cops upon arrival, but her words were contradicted by the statements of the two witnesses present at the time and the security camera footage, which showed her shooting the little girl in the back of the head as Harlins was attempting to leave the store. Ballistics also found that the gun had been tampered with to make the trigger much lighter to pull and fire.
On November 15th, 1991 the jury found Du guilty of voluntary manslaughter with a “recommendation” of a 16 year prison sentence. The Judge, Joyce Karlin, reduced the sentence to 5 years’ probation, 400 hours of community service and a $400 fine. Some say that this was a precursor, along with the verdict for the Rodney King case that ignited the L.A. riots of ’92.
August 1991. Troy Anthony Davis was convicted of murder and sentenced to death for the shooting of Michael Cooper in Cloverdale, the pistol whipping of Larry Young and the fatal shooting of police officer Mark MacPhail in Savannah, Georgia. Even though The prosecution called three eyewitnesses to the shooting of Cooper:
Cooper testified that he was intoxicated at the time he was shot, and that although Davis was one of the people Cooper had quarreled with, he "don't know me well enough to shoot me."
Benjamin Gordon stated that the man who had shot Cooper had been wearing a white Batman T-shirt and blue shorts. On cross-examination Gordon admitted he had not seen the person who shot Cooper and stated that he did not know Davis.
Daryl Collins had made a statement to police on August 19, 1989 that he had seen Davis shoot at the car in which Cooper was travelling. However, on cross-examination at trial, Collins denied having seen Davis carrying or shooting a gun on the night in question. Collins, who was 16 at the time he made the initial statement, claimed police officers had told him he would be imprisoned if he refused to co-operate with the investigation. (Wikipedea, 2012)
And although former President Jimmy Carter, Rev. Al Sharpton, Pope Benedict XVI, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, former U.S. Congressman of Georgia Bob Barr, and former FBI Director and judge William S. Sessions called for the courts to grant Davis a new trial or an evidentiary hearing which was finally held in 2010, where the defense revealed 9 out of the 10 original testimonies against Davis were recanted and implicated Sylverster “Redd” Coles whom Davis had been saying for a decade plus, and the evidence that Coles confessed to the murder was excluded because the court hadn’t subpoenaed Coles.
Troy Anthony Davis was killed by lethal injection on September 21st, 2011. I’m hoping that the astonishing similarities of this case to that of Mumia Abu Jamal do not share the ending of this particular story.
February 4th, 1999. Amadou Diallo was killed on this date by a flurry of 41 shots by 4 plain clothes police officers, Sean Carroll, Richard Murphy, Edward McMellon and Kenneth Boss in the Soundview section of Bronx, NY. The 24 year old was returning home as the plain clothes officers rode by in a Ford Taurus and said that the young man “fit the description” as MOST (African-American) men seem to do. Another {bullshit} moment is that the officer’s claim they called out who they were to the young man, but I ask you, evening or daylight, four plain clothes officers coming towards you (most likely jumping out of their vehicle) and shouting that they’re police, and you’re only 2 feet away from your door, what are you going to do?
Note: (To all of my readers who DO NOT bare the same complexion as I, you may not TRULY comprehend a few of the things in that last paragraph so I forgive you if you respond differently to my question. Although, in these days and times, such as i.e., Occupy, a lot more people are beginning to understand)
Anyway, back to the story I wish were fiction. On March 25th, 1999 the officers were indicted on second-degree murder and reckless endangerment. December 16th, 1999 an appellate court ordered a change of venue to Albany, NY (leaving the Bronx Grand Jury) stating that a fair trial in NYC was impossible because of pretrial publicity. On February 25th, 2000 all four officers were acquitted of all charges.
March 16th, 2000. Patrick Moses Dorismond was killed on this date by plain clothes police officer Anthony Vazquez. According to eye witness Kevin Kaiser, he and the deceased were approached outside of a club by Vazquez and another plain clothes officer. The officers asked if they knew where they could purchase some marijuana and when the 2 (African-American) men said they couldn’t help, a scuffle ensued and the former security guard and father of two received a gunshot to the chest that proved fatal. The Mayor of the day, Rudy Giulliani unsealed the former father’s juvenile records to prove, quote, “he was no altar boy”
Note: (What does a juvenile record have to do with a Security officer? Perhaps it isn’t common knowledge, but to be a Security Officer, you NEED a clean record and MUST be finger printed. And for a FATHER of two, what does a juvenile record mean?)
July 27th, 2000 the Grand Jury DID NOT indict but the city paid a large sum of money to the family on March 12, 2003. If they weren’t wrong then why pay the family anything?
November 6th, 2006. Sean Elijah Bell, along with 3 other men, was shot by a barrage of 50 bullets from five New York police officers. Three of the five officers went to trial on charges from manslaughter to reckless endangerment. Judge Arthur J. Cooperman made the ruling instead of a jury which was opted by the defendants. Officer Marc Cooper (who fired four rounds), Officer Gescard Isnora (who fired eleven), & veteran officer Michael Oliver (who emptied two magazines, which means he fired 31 shots by reloading at least once) were all acquitted of all charges against them for this hideous crime.
However, as of March 24th, 2012 Detective Isnora was fired and will not receive his pension, due to the late Bell’s fiancée & widow not giving up in the fight for justice. Isnora was the first officer to fire a shot which is the reason for his termination by Commissioner Raymond W. Kelley. Although it is this author’s opinion that he only did this at this time (6 years later?) because of his possible run for Mayor in the near future.
Detectives Paul Headley (who fired one round) has since left the department, and Michael Carey (who fired three) was exonerated in the administrative trial held by the department. The three officers who stood trial and Lt. Gary Napoli (who was there but never fired a shot) are “being forced to resign.” Still, Cooper, Napoli and Oliver (who reloaded) will be receiving their pensions. So, if you ask me, this is still unjust actions being upheld.
May 16th, 2010. Aiyana Mo'Nay Stanley Jones, age 7 (only 2 months away from 8) was shot and killed with one shot to the head while she slept in her bed, by a Detroit SWAT team officer Joseph Weekley during a raid being filmed live on the cable network A & E television show The First 48. After a year of dodging and noncompliance, as well as a yearlong internal & federal investigation, a grand jury indicted Officer Weekley on October 4th, 2011 on charges of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment with a gun. They also indicted Allison Howard, a producer for A&E who was also present during the raid, for perjury and obstruction of justice.
“Federal prosecutors say that Howard had provided false testimony to investigators about the shooting and that Weekley's actions were reckless and he had lied to the police in an effort to blame Jones's family for her death.” (Wikipedia, Death of Aiyana Jones, 2012)
November 19th, 2011. Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. is killed by White Plains police officers after responding to a call made by operators for Life Aid, the medical alert system the former Marine and Correction Officer used. The system was accidentally triggered while he slept, and when he did not respond on the two way when the operators contacted him, they alerted the police for assistance. At 5:25 a.m. the police banged on the door demanding Mr. Chamberlain to open the door. He had to plead with the officers to leave him alone and that he didn’t need any help because the officers (who were recorded on the LifeAid tape & video camera’s outside the apartment) were screaming “I don’t give a fuck nigger, open the door!” and other obscenities and taunting at the senior. Upon snapping the locks and unhinging the door, they ran in tasing the senior former Marine who (according to LifeAid) has a heart condition. At 7:09 a.m. he died during the surgery, they say, was an attempt to save his life.

Now, I know this may come out of ‘left field’ so to speak, but I find many Emmit Till case similarities in the Trayvon Martin case? (For those of you who DON’T know, Emmit Louis Till was a 14 year old boy in 1955 from Chicago visiting Mississippi. He flirted with a 21 year old Caucasian female by the name of Carolyn Bryant. Her husband and brother in law, kidnapped the boy, transported him to a barn, beat him, gouged out his eyes, and shot him the head, dumping his body into the river. When his mother received her son’s body she demanded an open casket at his public funeral to show what happened to her son. At the trial, which came due to demands of justice from the public, the two were acquitted, only to later confess in magazine interview. Because of “Caucasian Man’s Law”, the one in particular hear being used is the Double Jeopardy Law, because they already stood trial and were acquitted, it didn’t matter if they confessed to the crime now. This law states they cannot stand trial for the same crime twice.
Also, the jurors acknowledged that they knew Bryant and Milam were guilty, but simply did not believe life imprisonment or the death penalty fit punishment for whites who had killed a black man. (Wikipedia, Emmit Till, 2012)
As of right now, while I type this, George Zimmerman is facing 2nd degree murder charges while his wife faces perjury charges. However, when I take into account that cops get acquitted all the time when it comes to Black LIFE! I mean, look at who ‘they’ sent to oversee the Chamberlain case. Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore who held an acquitting jury for Mount Kisco policeman George Bubaris, who was accused of driving Rene Perez 6 miles away from the place he was allegedly beat. The body was dumped on a deserted road where the victim was later found deceased due to internal injuries. The charge was only 2nd degree manslaughter but many of my similar looking human beings reading this have other thoughts entering our minds upon hearing this story, I’m sure.
And how many of our young little Nubian Sons are we just going to stand by and watch get killed by murderous Caucasians?
April 28th, 1973. Clifford Glover was 10 years old and walking down the street in South Jamaica Queens, with Add Armstead when a car pulls up and a Caucasian man steps out holding a gun. They run. It comes out later that the voice over the walkie talkie saying “Die, you little bastard” is that of a plain clothes officer by the name of Thomas Shea. And although, some may utilize this case as a vanguard to ‘changing policies’ within the police department because he and officer Scott (who lied for his partner during trial) were kicked off the force by then Deputy Commissioner Philip Michael siting that the officers were in no danger that warranted the fatal result. Still, the officer was acquitted.
Fast forward to June 2nd, 2012 where we find John Henry Spooner who is the 75 year old Milwaukee citizen charged with shooting and murdering 13 year old Darius Simmons in broad daylight as he walked the trash across the street from his mother’s living room window.
After the arrival of the police who appeared at the request of an eyewitness, the police detained Mrs. Simmons in the back of a squad car for at least 2 hours (no exaggeration!), ransacked her home (as though looking for a reason that the false allegations of the little boy breaking and entering the man’s house and robbing him of items), arrested her older son on ‘truancy’ charges, all the while doing nothing for her son’s murder, never stepping foot into the murderer’s home!

Look. Point blank, I’m kind of tired of writing this at this point. I’m frustrated due to many things going on in my life right now, and as well as the seemingly non-action and non-committal energy by my peers, elders & extended family (meaning HUMANS period). I feel a lot of times like I’m alone in this fight and extreme yearning to find JUSTICE for MY people (which of course includes me!) So, I will leave these words from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
“There is no such thing as law and order. The law is disregarded, as though it were thrown in the jungles to be carried out by savage beasts. Murdering, killing, robbery, raping, and drug addiction are the only law and order that is respected.”
“She killed the aboriginal inhabitants (Indians) to establish herself as an independent people at the great loss of lives of the original owners. …..She has robbed many people; the blood of her slaves, the so-called Negroes, has stained the Earth here and elsewhere, slain by her hands. ……
“Anyone who opens his mouth for justice for the poor prey (so-called Negroes) is seized, prosecuted, and in many cases slain because he dared open his mouth for the oppressed against the oppressors.”
Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley & Kennedy “were known to have spoken and acted sympathetically towards the so-called Negroes, and they paid with their lives for doing so.”
“We need a place on this earth that we can call our own, and go to work and produce our own needs; and this will provide us with employment for our unemployed. Let no man deceive you…..”
Now, I’m SURE I will get some crap statements from some people about what I’ve written, but before your emotions start causing you to sound like an unreasonable simpleton that just thinks with the wrong parts of your body, let me ask you this. Don’t every other so-called race of people have their own within America that they can call their own, is run by their own and reside among their own in? Why is it an automatic thought for MOST of you that, the “ghetto” is for “black” people? We own nearly NOTHING in the ghettoes of America.
Think of the ghetto. ….. Who owns and runs the bodega on the corner? Who owns and runs the liquor stores on the block? Who owns the church with the black pastor taking all your money in the collection plate to fund his home? Who owns and runs the school in the community? For those in the hood, are the cops still white racists? Or do you have Black overseers now? Hmmmmm……….
“We have a BLACK President! How can you say that? We’ve come a long way. It’s not like that anymore! You’re ignorant for saying these hateful things!” and blab la bla. YES! WE DO have a Black President! And yes, he is the 1st President I’ve seen and heard disrespected so blatantly by racists via television, newspaper, internet and in person. He is the 1st President that has been criticized for saying HIS son could’ve been an unjustly slain victim of a terrible tragedy. Don’t kid yourself people. If Mr. President Obama was to say ‘I am going to create a space and opening for my fellow Black Americans get out of the destruction they’ve been put in and are still to this day trying to climb out of’ he’d be assassinated on the spot (God forbid!) So don’t kid yourselves.
If it’s sooooo different today and soooooo much better than why is it that the Fire Department is still going through it for shitting on minorities?! Why was nothing done about a dumb Caucasian teacher telling her young elementary student that he wasn’t reading something out loud in class “black enough”?! Why did it take sooooooo long to arrest Zimmerman for murder?! And for that matter, any justice for the cases I mentioned and the many many many others that I was too frustrated to even add to this tiny glimpse of atrocities I know of and the longer list of those I don’t know about?
Why is it that “black” videos are nothing but half-dressed females, thugs, flashy cars and jewelry and guns? (THIS ONE I WILL ANSWER FOR YOU!) Because they have built many private prisons (one near my former hood I grew up in) to ‘house’ you ‘dumb niggers’ when the tiny bit of legal employment we are “allowed” dries up. That’s why!
Why is it that WE (minorities) don’t unite and support one another? And I don’t mean to just go run out and support your local crack dealer (who unfortunately is most likely “black”) And when I say WE minorities, I mean YOU TOO Mr. intellectual, bourgeois, don’t want nothing to with the field niggers, sambo, stick up your ass, brother of mine, as well!
“You still suffer injustice with an armful of diplomas and degrees from colleges and universities.”
“We have come to the point where we must find justice for ourselves or commit suicide. What good is your life and my life if we have no protection? If I were a Black woman, and my men were such cowards that they would not try and defend me and the children I had produced, I would get a shotgun and kill myself.”
That being said, salute my true thugs! Cause the onez I KNOW will and do protect their own. Why is it so hard 2 imagine thugs and bookworms living peaceably among each other? Rapists have no place here! Child molesters either! Off with their heads! Drug dealer in the community? Fuck it! People are going to do drugs. But don’t sell to kids.

I will leave U this 2 ponder. Words from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad sometime before 1973. And to think, this is 2012.
“For 400 years, we have served you with our labor, sweat and blood, the lash of your whip, your killings, lynching and burning of our innocent Black flesh, without even a hearing in a court of justice, nor even our murderers being punished. Although we are marched before your enemies, and there we pour out our lives for the freedom of your lives, children and your country, we return home to meet an even worse enemy. We are hated and kicked out in certain places like an ‘unwanted dog’ who has caught the game but was not given a taste of it (only that which the hunter could not and should not eat himself). The dog, being too ignorant to recognize the injustice done to him by his master, will jump to his feet again at the call of his master to offer his life for his master’s life. This we have and are still doing for you.
“We are not wanted in your better neighborhoods. In many places we have to be guarded and protected by your armed forces in order to live in a house which one of your kind has sold to us. Yet, we are the most peaceful and humblest of the population. We are taxed equally and perhaps more than those of our own kind who are the real citizens and owners of this country, America, though our labor and the labor of our fathers made and built it for you.
“Think it over – millions of us working, fighting and dying at your hand and others for four hundred years without a home which we can call our own – not being allowed to worship our God, religion, nor have unity among self and our kind without being charged with the worst of crimes: subversiveness, sedition, treason and seeking to overthrow the government by force (though we have no arms to do such) just to have an excuse for your persecuting and seeking to kill the same poor four hundred year old slave.”
Below is a link to some VERY disturbing however, VERY necessary news for the public to be aware of. A suggestion for ALL- ah you: list, post, print and share this information with your community ESPECIALLY the so-called minorities in your area.

WE DO have a Black President! And yes, he is the 1st President I’ve seen and heard disrespected so blatantly by racists via television, newspaper, internet and in person. He is the 1st President that has been criticized for saying HIS son could’ve been an unjustly slain victim of a terrible tragedy. Don’t kid yourself people. If Mr. President Obama was to say ‘I am going to create a space and opening for my fellow Black Americans get out of the destruction they’ve been put in and are still to this day trying to climb out of’ he’d be assassinated on the spot (God forbid!) So don’t kid yourselves.
If it’s sooooo different today and soooooo much better than why is it that the Fire Department is still going through it for shitting on minorities?! Why was nothing done about a dumb Caucasian teacher telling her young elementary student that he wasn’t reading something out loud in class “black enough”?! Why did it take sooooooo long to arrest Zimmerman for murder?! And for that matter, any justice for the cases I mentioned and the many many many others that I was too frustrated to even add to this tiny glimpse of atrocities I know of and the longer list of those I don’t know about?
Why is it that “black” videos are nothing but half-dressed females, thugs, flashy cars and jewelry and guns? (THIS ONE I WILL ANSWER FOR YOU!) Because they have built many private prisons (one near my former hood I grew up in) to ‘house’ you ‘dumb niggers’ when the tiny bit of legal employment we are “allowed” dries up. That’s why!
Why is it that WE (minorities) don’t unite and support one another? And I don’t mean to just go run out and support your local crack dealer (who unfortunately is most likely “black”) And when I say WE minorities, I mean YOU TOO Mr. intellectual, bourgeois, don’t want nothing to with the field niggers, sambo, stick up your ass, brother of mine, as well!
“You still suffer injustice with an armful of diplomas and degrees from colleges and universities.”
“We have come to the point where we must find justice for ourselves or commit suicide. What good is your life and my life if we have no protection? If I were a Black woman, and my men were such cowards that they would not try and defend me and the children I had produced, I would get a shotgun and kill myself.”
That being said, salute my true thugs! Cause the onez I KNOW will and do protect their own. Why is it so hard 2 imagine thugs and bookworms living peaceably among each other? Rapists have no place here! Child molesters either! Off with their heads! Drug dealer in the community? Fuck it! People are going to do drugs. But don’t sell to kids.

I will leave U this 2 ponder. Words from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad sometime before 1973. And to think, this is 2012.
“For 400 years, we have served you with our labor, sweat and blood, the lash of your whip, your killings, lynching and burning of our innocent Black flesh, without even a hearing in a court of justice, nor even our murderers being punished. Although we are marched before your enemies, and there we pour out our lives for the freedom of your lives, children and your country, we return home to meet an even worse enemy. We are hated and kicked out in certain places like an ‘unwanted dog’ who has caught the game but was not given a taste of it (only that which the hunter could not and should not eat himself). The dog, being too ignorant to recognize the injustice done to him by his master, will jump to his feet again at the call of his master to offer his life for his master’s life. This we have and are still doing for you.
“We are not wanted in your better neighborhoods. In many places we have to be guarded and protected by your armed forces in order to live in a house which one of your kind has sold to us. Yet, we are the most peaceful and humblest of the population. We are taxed equally and perhaps more than those of our own kind who are the real citizens and owners of this country, America, though our labor and the labor of our fathers made and built it for you.
“Think it over – millions of us working, fighting and dying at your hand and others for four hundred years without a home which we can call our own – not being allowed to worship our God, religion, nor have unity among self and our kind without being charged with the worst of crimes: subversiveness, sedition, treason and seeking to overthrow the government by force (though we have no arms to do such) just to have an excuse for your persecuting and seeking to kill the same poor four hundred year old slave.”
Below is a link to some VERY disturbing however, VERY necessary news for the public to be aware of. A suggestion for ALL- ah you: list, post, print and share this information with your community ESPECIALLY the so-called minorities in your area.
