Baby Blood in the Street

Our sweet babies and children are being murdered. Not by cops this time.  No armed intruders broke in.  The father, step-father, boyfriend didn't do it.  It wasn't the pit bull, drunk driver or murder-suicide.  The serial killer, Dumpster and neglectful parents are not the culprit this time.

This time its neighborhood gangstas terrorizing the community.  The best arsenal for this fight is to Start Snitchin.  From childhood to adulthood we are taught that you are a bitch if you snitch.  A criminal code that was established by, you guessed it, criminals. Our entire culture is affected by this asinine standard of behavior that allows murder and mayhem to roam through our streets unabated.

We must tell the police what we know, what we saw and when we saw it.  Anyone can do that anonymously by calling, texting Crime Stoppers 216.252.7463.  You can even submit a tip on-line today.

GOD answers prayer.  Marches bring attention to the problem. Talk on social media is an outlet for our sadness, anger and frustration. But, there comes a time when ACTION is required, mandatory, essential, needed, integral, and necessary.  That time is now.

Family, friends and lovers know who these guys are.  Neighbors know who these guys are.  Stop protecting these malicious gang banging murderers.

For those who won't tell - the blood of babies and children is on your hands.  It's not snitching.  It's doing the right thing.

Churches Are Being Set Ablaze. Is it 2015 or 1915?

What year is it again?  Racists are upset and burning down African American churches and terrorizing the community.  It seems as though we have gone through some type of Civil War time warp with Birth of a Nation as the soundtrack to the backward actions of pale face bigots in these United States.

Pissed off racists and Ku Klux Klan losers are dusting off their brutal tactics to keep the niggras in line.  This terrorism is nothing new.  For example, on June 21, 1995 four so called men affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan burned down beloved Macedonia Baptist Church and Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church. Both churches had majority African American congregations. Several arrests were made and in 1998, Grand Dragon Horace King and four other Klansmen were order to pay $37.8 million for conspiracy to burn Macedonia Baptist Church.  It's time to start making the KKK pay.  Again.

Of course, it goes back much further than that.  During and after Reconstruction in the South following the Civil War, angry former slave owners and their ilk rampaged throughout the South setting black people, churches, homes, crosses and anything else on fire to get their anger off at the recently freed slaves.  Lynching of black men in particular and women and children in general was all too common and approved of at the federal, state and local levels.

The terror actually never stopped.  We are being murdered for: driving while black, playing with toy guns while black, praying in church while black and basically breathing while black.  The list of things that may get you killed if you're a black person doing them are too numerous to mention here.

Until these murderous madmen are caught, tried and convicted of these heinous crimes we as a country will not move forward into a better future for all.  Make your voice heard and demand the full investigative power of the Department of Justice be used to bring these hate-filled bastards to justice.  As well as insist that local law enforcement do their jobs and put these terrorists thugs in jail.

WHITE TERRORISTS PRIVILEGE

A lot of commentary is being bandied about concerning white privilege.  The Internet is a buzz with our opinionated opinions. Now, finally, even white people are admitting to the truth of benefiting from the now acknowledged white privilege advantage. The shame of it all is now a matter of public discourse.  

Pundits near and far are decrying the awful way African Americans and people of color in general are being systematically and institutionally denied access to employment, education, fair trials, decent housing, and an extremely long list of unfair treatment. Now, a new study has confirmed what minorities already knew; if you break the law as a minority you run the risk of being shot to death multiple times by police. No matter how small the offense.  

If you are white, you are taken down with kid gloves and arrested without a scratch.  Even treated to Burger King on your way to jail.  No matter that you just mass murdered several people.  No shots in the back for your pale face.  No choke hold death for you.  No 137 bullets for your entitled, murderous soul. No murder of a twelve year old by police happen in your lily white community.  No, that brutality is reserved for African Americans; preferably of the poor, young, male variety.  

Dylann Roof, is the latest white terrorist and mass murderer who prayed with and then murdered nine people in South Carolina. Racists have come out in full force to defend this animal saying that he's mentally ill and the usual sympathetic excuses reserved for those with white skin.  He's being forgiven and prayed for and protected, like so many others of his ilk.  Most Americans know, but probably won't admit, that had this been a black man that murdered nine whites in church he never would have made it to jail. He would have been executed by police.  To save the taxpayers money and time.  You know, according to them and those who enjoy the death, pain and suffering of African-Americans.

The white privilege of the terrorists in this country needs to be front page news nationwide. It's beyond time to stop the preferential treatment of white murderers and the excuses made for them.  The mentally ill excuse for white mass murderers is a slap in the face to people doing hard time for significantly less crimes.  

White Americans need to own their racism and bigotry when they kill; and treat white mass murderers the same way that they treat Muslims and other so called "terrorists."  They are prosecuted under the full extent of the law, including death.  With mass media coverage 24/7/365.

Rampaging, Psycho Cop Terrorizes Pool Party

Once again, an out of control, angry, rampaging, white, male, brutal, cowardly police officer is caught on tape running wild and roughshod over a group of teens at a pool party. A white eyewitness stated that the cop, Eric Casebolt, didn't order any white teens to the ground or put handcuffs on them.  Only black, Mexican and Arabic teens were treated violently, humiliated, cursed at and threatened with arrest.

If it were not for the video showing exactly how enraged and racist Casebolt was and is, the police would have been free to make up their own story about what happened as they have done so often in the past.  There is no justification to treat unarmed teens in such a horrendous fashion.  The lies of, "They had guns," or "I felt so very threatened," won't be believed in this video age and with this video evidence posted on YouTube.

The police department in McKinney, Texas (yeah, of course Texas), is scrambling to cover their asses and the ass of Casebolt who sits at home on what many assume to be Paid administrative leave while the police investigate (cover their asses). Nice way to vacation, don't cha think?

Meanwhile, a young 15 year old girl is home traumatized by a punk cop who slammed her slim body to the ground, pulled her hair, put the weight of his body on her small frame and cursed her out like she was a suspect in a school shooting (don't recall seeing any of them treated this way though).  All while she cried and asked for her mom.  Asking anyone to call her mom.  Please.

An entire gathering of innocent teens have been robbed of their innocence by this Dirty Harry wannabe cop.  Other cops stood by or participated in this madness (they should be disciplined as well), only stepping in when Casebolt pulled his gun on unarmed teens. Makes you wonder if they were saying, "Man, cool it.  You can't kill them now.  People are videotaping us.  We'll get them later when no cameras are around."

It's way past time to get these murderous cops out of our police departments nationwide. And time to stop giving them a pass just because they are white.

137 Shots = Legal Murder

137 Shots Fired 

Cleveland cops claim that the car being driven by Timothy Russell backfired resulting in a high speed chase involving almost 100 officers. Mr. Russell and Malissa Williams, the only passenger in the car, didn't stand a chance against the pumped up, out of control murderous lawmen. Lawmen who acted like outlaws. Lawmen who acted like a mob of KKK murderers. See, the cop that initially pulled the couple over suspected that they were involved in drugs, but there was no proof.  Not only that, they were also unarmed.

False reports (lies) to police claimed that Russell and Williams were firing at cops and reloading (imaginary guns).  Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine did grudgingly admit that there was a systematic failure in the Cleveland Police Department.  I'll say.  I'm no Constitutional scholar but since when did running from police equal a death sentence? Especially, when no murder, rape or other heinous crime had been committed. Cleveland cops appointed themselves judge, jury and executioner.

The U.S. Justice Department called Cleveland out over the pattern of "unreasonable and unnecessary" force by the police department. As one commentator put it, if you have the suspect's license plate (which cops did have) then you don't engage in a high-speed chase. You do your job and track down the owner of the car, question and maybe arrest them at a later date.

It was obvious a deal had been struck by the prosecution which allowed the cop, Michael Brelo, to be acquitted of all charges. Even though Brelo jumped up on the hood of the car and fired 49 shots, 15 at point blank range, into the vehicle.  Most people call that murder. I know I do. There were 13 officers in total who fired 137 shots into the car and we can assume that they won't be found guilty of anything either.  They just killed a couple of black people. So, what?

That's the attitude of cops who work in Cleveland but don't live and may never have lived here.  The us versus them mentality is blatant. Cleveland cops have no real ties to the city or its citizens.  They kill 'em and lock 'em up then head on home to their lily white suburbs. I say bring back the residency laws that curbed the them versus us attitude. You get your paycheck from the city; you live in the city.

Some were hoping Cleveland would explode like Baltimore.  The reason citizens didn't give in to their righteous indignation and start burning stuff up is because Cleveland was one of many cities that survived the riots of the 60's, namely the Hough riots and Glenville Shootout.  Cleveland burned.  The neighborhoods still have the vacant lots where buildings and businesses used to stand but were never rebuilt.  We learned not to burn up our own community because no matter what the politicians said, no one would be coming to rebuild in a riot torn African American area.

The Justice Department and the City of Cleveland are working on a settlement and have reached an agreement regarding findings from a report issued in December 2014 which also outlines a pattern of excessive force against citizens, inadequate training regarding interaction with mentally and physically ill citizens and failure to investigate and discipline officers using excessive force.

I pray that the victims' families will be compensated for the murder of their loved ones. Whatever Timothy and Malissa were into that night, it should not have cost them their lives.  Had they been white, it would not have.

Ebola! Ebola!

 Forget the crucial, life changing mid-term elections that are just weeks away.  No need to concern yourself with voting out the people that have been screwing you and me daily.  Just keep your eyes riveted to your TV screen while the corporate news feeds you another helping of mass deception and distraction.

The mid-term elections are our only chance to throw the bums out. You know the ones I mean.  The self-serving, lobbyist worshiping, warmongering, treasury looting, don't give a damn about the poor, elderly, children or anyone else in the 99% so called representatives of the American people.

Our government has failed us.  How much money spent to overturn the Affordable Care Act?  Millions you say?  Yes.  How much money has been spent on immoral and illegal wars?  Trillions+? Yep, you got that right.  

We have to mobilize and turn of the TV, log off the computer, put the headphones down and get ourselves to the voting booth before our right to vote becomes a vague memory.  Its happening right before our eyes.  New, restrictive, discriminatory voter ID laws are in effect and more states are following this throwback from Jim Crow days.

Republicans, who now call themselves conservatives or anything other than republican because, let's fact it, the republican brand is beyond tainted and the only way they win elections is by cheating, lying about and stealing them.  They have spearheaded redistricting meant to disenfranchise as many minorities and women as possible. 

We have Koch brother money buying elections around the country as they try and turn the country clock back to a time when only old white men had a voice and women and minorities were brutally forced to be silent.

Our vote is our voice.  Don't let paid off politicians take away the only weapon you have against them.  Your right to Vote!  Let's get to the polls in record numbers and let them know that we are paying attention and We The People have the power.

My Testimony

Reveals GOD's good love in everyday life and the blessings that are everywhere if only we would take the time to look and see His mighty Hand at work.

I've spent weeks searching for a

contractor to modify my home to accommodate my dad's limited mobility.  I called several people, dealt with voicemail and answering machines and days waiting to hear back from the companies I called.  Frustrated doesn't even come close to what I was feeling.  

So, finally arrangements were made for the contractors to come to my home.  Some were late, while others didn't come at all.  Where are the professionals?  The first guy came out and I never heard from him again.  The second guy came out and gave me an estimate over $3,800.  The third guy came out and gave me a estimate of around $2,700.  

I was disheartened to say the least.  We didn't have that kind of money.  I turned to GOD in prayer and kept looking for a contractor that I could afford.  

While cleaning the front yard I saw that someone had posted a flyer on my porch rail.  I was all set to throw the flyer out without even bothering to look at it but the word contractor caught my eye.

I didn't think I'd be able to afford the badly needed modification for my dad but I couldn't not trust GOD when I had asked Him for His help.  I made the call and continued to pray that I'd find someone who would do quality work that I could pay for.

The contractor comes out and he's like an old friend.  I offered him water and he drank and talked to me about my dad and showed concern for us.  He went about measuring the house and dad in his power chair.

He shouted out that it would be 975.  I thought to myself, this guy is nuts.  I'm not gonna pay $9,750 for the work.  I know its delicate but come on!  One contractor said he'd need to send out three carpenters for 2 1/2 days in addition to painters and such.  I understood that the work wouldn't be cheap.

My heart sank.  I began to get the feeling that I'd have to save up more money which of course would take longer to get the needed job done.  Not to mention, trying to save money in this economy is like chewing air.  

The guy comes into the kitchen and I said, "Go ahead and write it up."  May as well see what the damage is, I thought to myself.  So he finishes the estimate and says, "Ok, that'll be $950.  We'll take $450 down and the balance you pay upon completion."  

I couldn't belief my own ears!  Here was a price I could finally afford.  I thanked GOD in my mind and couldn't wait to thank Him later in song and praise.  Tears have come to my eyes throughout the day as I think about the many ways GOD shows His love for me.  

GOD made certain that I knew that it was His supernatural power at work.  That is why I can take no credit for finding the heaven sent contractor. 

I'm a kept woman.  GOD keeps me.  GOD keeps my family.
