Beloved Ancestor Malcom X Wasn't Soft On Community Crime.

Image
  Beloved ancestor Malcolm X is one of 'the' great influences of my life. His call for community control echoed in my ears when I began what I call 'safety creation' (combination advocacy and consulting) in response to crack cocaine insurgency of the 1980s-1990s destroying my community and Black America nationally. As with the 1980s 'DopeBusters' of the same Nation of Islam Brother Malcom left years earlier,  https://youtu.be/TV7ZQgmcIAw?si=Ead6FYf0llsCy-J- I also felt mobilizing on behalf of my maternal grandmother and other widowed senior citizens was my duty as a Black man. Decades later, it's still my duty, though now I contend against an ideology that misplaces sympathy toward those waging war, literally, upon our community. It's so unlike this crowd scene from 'New Jack City,' a 1991 anti drug film by director Spike Lee that offered a glimpse into today's fentanyl-fueled future: https://youtu.be/K1n-O0ksfNc? si=TLplh8jaQijG2SzV My favor...

I Am Loyal To Community Safety.

Image
  When you consider community members committing crime against other members to be traitors, as I call them, it emphasizes that our loyalty must be to community safety, personally, for family, friends & everybody in our community It's our duty to uphold community safety. For those who are wondering, it has nothing to do with outside communities and political parties. Community safety is mobilized and organized faith, self love, self respect and self defense. We have to be safe and civil toward.each other as much as possible, for-OUR-own-good! Declare your loyalty to community safety!

Give, Don't Gloat: Crowdfunding For Groceries (In A Carnivorous Economy).

  Cap Black: Why not. 'Well heeled politicians & well paid non profit execs fundraise in print, on air, on line all the time.' It's only looked down upon when working class 'everyday VIPs' do it. #prayerfulpanther

#HBCU Safety.

  The recent shooting on Southern University's Baton Rouge campus-and others nationwide-underscores urgent need for volunteer safety watchers (alumni, students, supporters). We must mobilize against internal threats like we do external ones. Cap Black. #prayerfulpanther  #borrowabrother #hbcusafety #hbcusafetycenter #hbcuhomecoming

Worship Your Creator, Not Your Tormenter.

Image
  My prayer is for those whose God given dignity is being degraded to stand up to those doing the degrading. You weren't put here to suffer degradation and mustn't accept it. Otherwise you're not worshipping your creator, you're worshipping your tormenter. Cap Black. #prayerfulpanther 

I Just Hope We Don't Have A Mass Shooting Leading Up To Or After the NBA YoungBoy Concert In New Orleans.

Massive police deployment for NBA YoungBoy concert as New Orleans grapples with budget deficit https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/local/orleans/massive-police-deployment-for-nba-youngboy-concert-as-new-orleans-grapples-with-budget/289-c53092a5-7f16-4c86-bc86-98f9d12304b7 Folks who like rowdy rap crowds balk at the 400+ NOPD officer deployment projected for the upcoming NBA YoungBoy concerts scheduled for Sunday and Monday I'm balking too- at how already underserved districts will be deprived of officers to respond to calls for service as criminals take advantage of this big event. If we avoid a mass shooting around the venue or outside bars where patrons gather after the concert, we should consider ourselves very, very blessed because urban mass shooting trends this month are NOT in our favor. By the way, I type this not as a some right wing 'professional critic of Blackness.' I'm actually a 'pro Black' critic of those commiting violent treason against the commu...
