BLACK YOUTH: IT'S OPEN SEASON & I'M DONE!

I'm done with this open season on Black youth and the SILENCE from communities outside of the inner cities! TOTALLY!  Done-done-done-done-done!

I'm coming un-done, actually, and gearing up for getting in-your-face with this one, so get ready.

This is MY blog.  Now, screw Spirituality and f^k changing my perception.  Yo, I'll change mine when you change yours,  'white folks' -- how about that one!? Yup, I am getting seriously wicked and rubbing sand paper all over you -- I don't  care how you feel about my attitude. You certainly don't give a sh!t about what's happening ALL OVER the USA to people  with excess melanin in their skin.  People who look like me.

Let this level of violence start being perpetrated against Jewish young people or any youth considered 'White'.  Y'all  would have the phone's faxes, laptops, desktops and cell phones burnt up from Obama's office to the Pentagon.   Especially Obama!! You'd be railing: he'd be cross-nailed, tarred & feathered then drawn & quartered.  There would be  Emails, FB and Twitter posts shared up the router's a$$!

STOP.  Stop lying, you know you would.  I've seen you do it for freeking ANIMALS!

We are human beings!!

Last summer, a 'white' couple in Virginia got their door busted in by police and the husband was arrested. Jeeze - the  posts and shares on FB were insane and the views and comments on the U-Tube video were off the hook!  Bashing the  cops and oh - the sympathy for those poor folks.  The ishnit was even hopping in the European media!! Hey - it should  have been, of course, the police violated their civil rights.  All I'm saying is:  when it comes to people who don't look like  you or live in your neighborhood, where is your incredulousness and your raised voices to the heavens?

Alright, I do understand the problem is that 'white folks' have this guilt thing and they say "I don't want to hear about it anymore."

Uhm. As if they ever did in the first place?

Point in fact, a CBS Online follow up article regarding the police shooting of 18 year old Ramarley Graham 
'Family of Slain Bronx Teen Shot By Narcotics Officer Rallies For Justice'


Here's some of the comments:

texxx:

"HEY NICCAS DON’T FREAKIN RUN FROM THE POLICE….

WE HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU RAMARLEY….YOU SCREWED UP

Graham’s mother has admitted that her son smoked marijuana and that he was chased by a narcotics officer."


All I can say is f^k you TEXXX. Triple X, eh? Damn perv. Or maybe you think you're a Vin Diesel kinda guy. Screw you none-the-less TEXXX!

I guess wiggers, slackers and 'white' college kids DON'T smoke weed.  Get the hell outa here, man.  They smoke all day  long at the Strawberry Fields area of Central Park, here in NY.  However, there isn't a overwhelming police presence  breathing down their necks while they hang out in the park.  The 'white' kids in my building by weed right outside, in the  front, where my Boi sells it every day and then they make their way up the hill to the A train. Yet, the Black youth get the  Stop and Frisk treatment on general principal - NOT the 'white kids.  If you stop enough people, well, eventually you're  gonna catch someone with a joint in their wallet, right? And off they go to the precinct - or maybe they run because they  don't want to get kicked out of school or in trouble with Mom.  Or they don't want to get roughed up by those cops (which  happens routinely when they are 'arresting' someone in my community). But oh, they're NOT supposed to have a normal  human reaction, right? 


This kind of BS is reminiscent of those psuedo-sciences and their claims of Blacks not having the same kinds of emotions at whites, etc., that began with Carl Linnaeus in the early 18th century with his Craniometry. And  Friedrich Hegel, who said, "Africa is no historical part of the world." Hegel further claimed that Blacks had no "sense of  personality; their spirit sleeps, remains sunk in itself, makes no advance, and thus parallels the compact,  undifferentiated mass of the African continent. Christoph Meiners split mankind into two divisions, which he labelled the  "beautiful White race" and the "ugly Black race".  Coincidentally, there was an article in the May 2011 Psychology Today  titled “Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?”  THIS IS IN THE 21ST CENTURY!  {middle  finger raised to laptop screen}

Here's another in denial dumb-a$$ commentary:

Edde:

"At the end, what their looking for is Money, which they will most likely get, but, true, an innocent person would not run  from the police.

As to the death, that appears from all reports to be an accident, I can only assume, their was a brief struggle in that  bathroom, Officer had his weapon out, gun discharged accidentally.

If this were a person crossing on the street and a car hit and killed him, it would be ruled an accident, insurance would  payout for the fatality, which would not amount to the amount they will be suing the City for."


WTF? Comparing a car to a GUN? I get it EDDIE: you are a moron!  


Police officers go through specific ONGOING training  protocols to learn how to use a gun AND to apprehend and arrest people in high-anxiety situations.  You go through a  few hours of driving school and take a test - ONCE - to get a license for driving a car. And you can get a driver's license  as young as 16 in most states. And most folks don't even follow the rules of the road, like sticking your hand out the  window and pointing when you're making a left turn into a intersection.

NO COMPARISON you bass-ackwards fool!

Let's see what else I can dish up for you.  How about this insensitive bore?:

Glenn Erdmann:

"Your son would be alive if he was not smoking weed and he did NOT run from a narcotics officer. Next."


Let me find out ...  Yo, my man, I'll make sure the NEXT thing you experience is my spit in your eyes.

What is this harping on the weed and his running?  Lots of people smoke weed.  And, he's a Black kid in the Hood.   People who don't live in The Hood don't experiences the same BS we deal with in our communities. You have NO CLUE  as to what it's like and are speaking on something you do not have a reference for.  To top it off: you don't even consider taking a moment of your time to understand it or learn more about it. Yet, you'll Google Animal Abuse all afternoon at  your desktop on your job when you should be WORKING.

The last comment was by an arse called 'Joe', who posted a 2 minute and 29 second U-Tube video of some Islanders  players beating up on a couple of Rangers, on the ice, during a game.  Very intelligent metaphore, Joe. Gotta give it to  you for originality, my man...

Now, in Florida, they have a 'Stand Your Ground Law', where you can perpetrate deadly force against someone if you feel threatened by them.  You are not required to retreat first.  Now this young man, Treyvon Martin was being followed by this so-called  'Neighborhood Watch' captain.  The guy was profiling the kid.  Now, my question is why was it wrong for the young man to feel threatened?  The man following the young man claims the kid jumped at him. Well, why could this kid not implement the 'law'?  If you were being followed by some strange guy you would have a serious problem with that, right?  But it's okay for the 'Captain' to shoot to kill. A stinking pile of bull crap! 


The following WEB link is a FOX News ONline follow up story.  Most of the second video is garbled and it gets cut off at the end - how lame - they didn't even bother to make sure it was produced  properly.  Another example of how Black issues are minimized, marginalized and/or outright discredited.  Dissed by omission.

Both videos have 3 newscasters and all of them are 'white.  We all know they could have had a person of color on that panel. Especially since they attempted to discuss the street violence in inner-city communities.  One of them asked her  colleague why this case is getting so much attention when there is so much violence in 'these' neighborhoods on a consistent basis.  WTF would she know about it?  However, I'll address it because I live in one of 'those' neighborhoods.

'Trayvon Martin: Florida March Protests Teen's Shooting Death Want Justice & Prevention' 

Who allows guns to flood into our communities?  Who lets the drugs get off the boats and airplanes into the community?   Who sanctions liquor licenses to sell wines and spirits? Certainly not me or the folks who live here. Yet we are blamed  and judged for the results of these allowances.  This kind of overflow of contraband and liquor is not present in the suburbs and affluent communities of the US.  The only place the same kind of activity can be seen is in rural 'white'  communities and the reservations of the First Peoples Nations.  The bayous, backwoods and trailer parks of poor 'white' America are filled with petty crime, drugs, alcoholism, sexual and criminal violence.  Yet they are not judged with the same rod as Black folks and Native Americans;  noses aren't being stared down in those 'white folk's' streets and homes.  Yet the behavior is similar:  the neurosis of economic oppression and exclusion.  However, we people of color have a extra bonus demerit by virtue of being - of color - therefore ostracized and not worthy of consideration when violence is perpetrated in our communities by police or 'white folks' who are scared or wary of us.  Yet - I'm not supposed to be scared of a cop chasing me down or some strange 'white' guy following me without cause.

Stupid ishnit.

I think you are getting my point, Brothas & Sistas.  And I am hoping that the 'white folks' who happen to read this are as done with me as I am with their silence.

So, there it its 'whitey': your Crash Course In The Hood.

~This is CrashHood, signing off from this brain-bash; tasked with blowing your wig back... and hoping to be done with this garbage perpetrated on a daily in The Hood sometime soon.

MUST READS:


Racism is ingrained in US! It's rampaged about our society through several  institutions:  Religion, Sociology, Politics and Evolutionary Science.  In  order to understand the present numb and dumb reaction to Black issues by ordinary, 'average Joe' Americans, one  must check the history.

CRACKING ON EBT: Racists Don't Get It Tho.

There are a couple of videos I came across while researching supposed 'free' money, that certain people with a specific political agenda, is claiming the Obama administration is handing out.

One VID, 'It's Free Swipe Yo EBT' by Chapter  is actually commenting on how ridiculous the HRA Public Assistance system is. The amount of money people on HRA get is miniscule. This young lady is using metaphor and sarcasm to flip the picture. It is absurd to think that one could purchase all the things she raps about getting with $137.50/month and $200/month in food stamps (base amount for 1 person). What I find most compelling are the racist reactions: not considering the artistic license being employed here - that just went right over their ignorant ass head.  So quick to think what she's saying is actually true, eh? So you can fuel those xenophobic belief systems?


Here's a couple of those uninformed comments:

"God damn it fucking EBT is why your worthless waste of flesh and your many spawn are alive? Get rid of EBT right now!" BlueBerryWizard, 23 hours ago

"It's sad that alot of people on welfare an stuff abuse the governments money and have the ablity to work but dont beause they are lazy and get a check every month...I get that there are people out there that really need it and thats what it is there for not lazy ass people who need money but refuse to get a job.... the people that don't abuse it are the ones that feel the most bad for being on it." kiera791, 3 days ago


Actually, B-BerryWiz, with a mind-set like that, the spawn we need to get rid of is yours. And it would be nice if Kiera791 could actually write coherently. Lazy?  Either she wasn't paying attention in Writing class or she's just slacking. More like the pot calling the kettle...black.


And this VID, 'My EBT' by MoneyMaineNGP, found on an 'Expose Obama' site. The headline claims: "Now Another Rap Song Celebrates EBT Card".  Are you serious? As if Obama invented EBT or Public Assistance. 


These young people are poking and jabbing, using 'Black humor' (pun intended). This is a tool that is part of many cultures, especially when oppression and exclusion is prevalent on a daily. I've seen it all my Life. My own father used to invoke this kind of humor during the most challenging times. It's a way of getting through so you don't lose hope -- or your freaking mind. Yet, people with ingrained racist belief systems perceive these videos as actual fact because it feeds into the picture they have chosen to paint of all poor people of color being parasites. 

Check these comments out from the 'Expose Obama' site:

C Dickens · 25 weeks ago
"Definition: rap (hip-hop) - "The spectacle of an angry black man in baggy pants jumping up and down, shouting obscenities into a microphone to the rhythm of a monotonous, pounding drum beat." It's not music - some say it's an art form; but if this is art, then the pile my dog left in the back yard must be a masterpiece."


HAD EFUKNNUFF · 25 weeks ago
"STOOPPIIDD MONKEYS SO PROUD OF THEIR THEIVING WAYS


TYPICAL SHITBAMA MENTALITY, BRING ON THE FUKN RACE WARS


LETS FINISH THIS OFF, WE HAD TO FIGHT ON OWN RELATIVES , AND KILL THEM TO BIRTH THIS NATION, LETS PUT THIS BIOTCH TO BED, WAR."
  
One could say that the definition of Punk Rock is: the spectacle of angry white boys in worn out leather pants and torn up t-shirts jumping up and down, breaking $1000 guitars to the rhythm of a monotonous, pounding drum beat, incoherent lyrics and insane screaming. So, hey -- let's keep it real on what is or is not art. And using racist ideology to define it is just, well - whack. 'Cause I dig Metal and Punk...I'm a Goth Punk rocker from waaaay before Emo, as a matter of fact. There were times that I was the only person of color in a Punk club. And I can tell you, me and other people of color have experienced plenty of  racism in those circles. 

Yet, it's ok for a white boi punk to make a video glorifying being on 'the dole', shooting up and roaming the halls in the 7 Towers (a project in Dublin) to make a socio-political statement, like Black 47, for example (Irish Punk Rock group).

I am on Social Security Disability and receive $200/month in food stamps, yet what would be lost on these fools is that I worked on Wall Street and for Fortune 500 companies for 25+ years.  Although, what they would see is another black B!ch wicking money from the taxpayer's pockets.  Well, I have some shocking news:  I've been paying taxes since the age of 14.  And most of the people I know have worked since they were youngsters helping their parents support their families.  We grew up poor or working class in the South End of Montclair, NJ; Newark,NJ and Harlem.  We knew what it meant to earn our merits - our parents made sure of that. I'm sure the very same was going on in the neighborhoods of LA, Chicago, Seattle and Miami too -- all across America's inner-cities, rural areas and suburban enclaves.


So is it now MY fault that liquor store owners are cashing in on the EBT card?  Or the corner bodega where one can trade food stamps for cash at the highway-robbery rate of $3.00 for every $10.00 exchanged? Banks don't even get that kind of percentage per dollar! Those commentators need to take their heads out of their rear end! It's so far up there the perception is completely obscured.  Take a good look at what they are really saying in these videos.

One has to deal with subsistence 'benefits' then, within our neighborhoods, we are confronted with merchants and retailers, who have only just arrived here and have absorbed all the stereotypes thrown at them by the media.  They hold their noses with one hand and pocket the little money we've got with the other.  What these young people are up to is exposing the exploitation going on in their communities.


What needs to be addressed is the below poverty income the HRA Public Assistance Program insists upon. The WEP Program (Work Experience Program) is also bogus. Relegating people to filing folders and sweeping floors for 3 cents/hour in government offices. Usurping the full-time employees and creating an atmosphere of resentment. They offer NO training for the actual skills needed in a professional work environment.  Some activists call it 'The New Face of Slavery'. One has to 'work' for benefits. What is truly ironic is their audacity to call that abysmal amount of money 'benefits'. It's only beneficial for the politicians, who continue fueling the fires of racism with their rhetoric.  And it is a joke - one that is not lost upon these Spoken Word artists, however.

TO THE IGNORANT COMMENTATORS: Wake up call folks! Get educated on what's really going on with Public Assistance!  You might be surprised at what you learn about Public Assistance and what is truly happening to people who need to access it...or maybe you'd rather stay stupid so you can have someone to blame for this insane, money-scheming system called the US government?
