"On June 8, 2011 the following unfortunate arrest took place in Canton, OH. Notifying the policy when you have a firearm is required by Ohio Law, but when this individual with a thirty-day old license tries to do that he is repeatedly ordered to look away, shut up, or interrupted and "forced" to change what he is speaking about by the actions of an aggressive cop who maintains verbal control of the situation." ~Excerpt of video submission by  'Ohio', http://www.facebook.com/thugmidget
 
POLICE OFFICER (OverSeer) speaking to the driver: 

"I tell you what I shoulda done? As soon as I saw your gun I should taken two steps back, pulled my Glock 40, and just put ten bullets in your ass and let you drop."


Yes, this is for real. Unfortunately...what happened in this video can be found repeated in every 'hood of the USA; whether it's a trailer park, rez, inner city or, these days, a suburb, the Fear and lasting trauma suffered at the hand of those who swore to 'protect and serve' is a travesty.

Paula Deen and Why So Many Southern Racists Don't Believe They're Actually Racists

Racism: the Collective American Neurosis that no one wants to hear about, especially from the people who suffer as a result of it the most.

In fact the title should be:  'Paula Deen and Why So Many AMERICAN Racists Don't Believe They're Actually Racists'

I have my moments of racism; even as it pertains to my own culture, LoL. It is ingrained in Americans from the cradle to the grave by the most beloved and sacred of our institutions. The educational system and religion being the top two.

The only way to heal a neurosis is through employing some of the protocols used in psychiatric therapy,such as: dialogue and opposite role identification.  The most important aspects of dealing with this monkey-on-the-collective-back is 1) there needs to be an acceptance of the existence of the problem ; 2) letting go of Fear and opening our Hearts; and 3) a willingness to heal.


Paula Deen and Why So Many Southern Racists Don't Believe They're Actually Racists   - from Pajiba.com By Dustin Rowles | Think Pieces | June 26, 2013 |

A comment made by one of the readers of this article and my response:

IngridToday said:

"Paula Deen admits to using the n-word when being held at gun point.... because that'll improve the situation.

I'm from the North and moved to the South for a short time. I was surprised how many people absolutely believe the Civil War was *not* about slavery. One person tried to tell me slavery wasn't that prevalent and another that black people were better off as slaves because they had free room and board. She seriously insisted that slavery ended because it was too expensive for the landowner.

Of course, I had also had some use the n-word and immediately say he -at twenty- he didn't know any better because he's from a small town."

My response:

Unfortunately, Ingrid Today, the Civil War wasn't about slavery as it's primary interest. The impetus for the North's disagreement with Chattel Slavery was motivated more by dollars-n-cents than by any moral inclinations. The primary issue was that the financiers of the Northern 'Union' states recognized that slavery was giving the Southern Republic states a greater economic advantage. Too many Southerner's families, in relation to their silver-spoon-mouthed counterparts up North, were stinking rich as a result of the Chattel Trade. Wealth = Economic Flexibility = Political Power. The kind of power that would have bought them the Presidency, as well as, the ears and socioeconomic clout of corruptible reps in the Senate and Congress. The kind that would situate them in a position to rule the economy and shut down the Federal Reserve Bank and the fate of gold & silver would be in the South's control. That's what made them scream so loud about slavery: they were terrified of the clout it gave the South.  If slavery had continued, for as little as 20 more years, we would be calling this country the Confederate States of America. This was more worrisome to folks up North than the freedom - or not - of some Black servants and workers. The North was just as racist as the South anyway. History bears that out. That is why so many 'freedmen' went either far North into Canada or South into Mexico; or the Caribbean.

POLICE VIOLENCE IN UNION SQUARE PARK EAST

Today in Union Square Park a woman was excitedly talking to a friend.  Two police officers came up to her and said "Take it down Miss, you're talking too loud." Now no on else in the park was disturbed by this woman, only the police seemed to annoyed with her.  She confronted them with her assessment of the situation and basically told them they had no right to be approaching her in that way because she was not breaking any laws.  They told her to shut the hell up or they would place her under arrest.  She reminded them that there was no female officer present to perform this threatened arrest.  They told her to shut up once again.  This time referring to her as a 'bitch' for emphasis.  They got on the radio and called a supervisor.  We were all stunned yet we figured they were calling for a female cop.  Another man showed up, the supervisor.  They all put on these black gloves and proceeded to wrestle her to the ground - all three of them. One had her arms pulled behind her so tightly she was screaming. Another stamped his foot on her back and kept it there. And still another had his boot on the side of her face.  It was her face sandwiched between the pavement and his boot.

Everyone in the vicinity watching this was shocked and outraged at the treatment of this woman yet these neanderthals cursed at the crowd and ordered it disbursed.  They attempted to grab a guy who was video capturing the entire incident before they pulled her up from the ground and dragged her literally kicking and screaming to the squad car.  Yet, he was able to elude them and continue capturing all the way to the police car.  He came back and said they nearly gave her a concussion trying to put her in the car and slammed the door on her foot.  

I was hoping to find the video this gentleman captured on U-Tube but a search yielded everything but that. Yet, I did find a whole slew of police brutality and assaults caught on camera from various areas of this country.

What kind of society are we participating in? 
 
How are you recreating it inside AND outside of your communities?

USA GAMES: PLAYING THE MIDDLE EAST

 

The Independent Lifeboat

Killing for Opium : If You Speak Out, You’re ‘Suicided’              (Full Article - click here)

 

This article details the games our government continues to play in the Middle East and Asia are so crucial that they are killing their own citizens.  People who risk their lives for their country even. Now that's as perverse as it gets.

Meanwhile, here at home in the inner cities, police are killing young, black and Latino males, incarcerating people of color of both genders and taking away their children then placing them in the 'care' of the state. All in the name of this bogus 'War on Drugs'. 

It's actually a war on the inner-cities and it's inhabitants.

FROM THE MOUTH OF BABES

Peeps know my take on what happens in The Hood.

The Florida tragedy is only one spot and when something like that hits the news, it takes away from the reality of the rest of the USA. Why? Because folks can feel good about rallying behind or speaking out momentarily about a single atrocity. Then slip it away until next time.

For a young man like my neighbor's son, a African descended youth, who has to d
eal with police intimidation every day, Florida just sounds all too familiar. I'd like you truly consider his comment:

"When I'm laying in my bed and I look up and it's morning or afternoon sunny outside basically if I see a light flash wild fast on my Cellin when I look up that's life passing me by when I could be outside but the cops always want static so I try and stay as much as possible not valid."

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.

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.

The NYPD shoots another nigga -- the third one this week. 

Ask me if I'm surprised at this. No.  I am a bit perturbed about the response from the residents of NYC, tho.  Damn!  Let these mofo's start killing white kids left and right -- especially Jewish kids -- and see what happens. Yeah: I'm going off but right about now I'm not feeling very 'Spiritual' about this.  Give me a few hours, I'll be okay but at this moment I need to have the space to be angry and get ill about it. So F&ck you if you think I'm being racist or anti-semetic or WHATEVER! To read the article CLICK HERE.

In the inner cities of America: POLICE ARE HAZARDOUS THE THE HEATH AND WELL-BEING OF YOUNG BLACK MALES! PERIOD.
