The 'Xtra' Approach To the 'Real Life Superhero' (RLSH) Concept.

Image
My 'Cap Black' umbrella role for advocacy is about going the extra mile for the Black community and all in it- nobody is left out! 'Xtra' runs parallel to the 'RLSH' or 'real life superhero' community, sort of like a distant first cousin to it. LOL. I've been doing my 'Cap Black' role since 2008 when I first heard about often-costumed advocates during the 'Occupy New York' recession era who were giving food to the homeless and doing safety patrols. Before then my advocacy was informed by a lifelong love of heroic fiction as well as heroes from Black history but never thought anyone would actually 'suit up' to do it. I didn't do full face masks (I wear glasses lol) largely due to being a large Black man in a Southern city where that could easily have been mistaken for criminal intent. Same for wearing a 'gimmick' (uniform or costume) because I'm too bulky for tights lol but more power to those who wear them. Tsh...

I Go the 'Xtra' Mile For My Community and All In It.

Image
Note: This is a very early MLK Day/Black History Month 2026 topic: While researching groups inside the 'real life superhero' or 'RLSH' community on their wiki, this phrase, 'Xtra,' popped into my mind at 4:44am, on October 28, 2025. It's a Black parallel to the 'X-Alt' or 'extreme altruist' model popularized by a White anti violence and stalking advocate as a more grounded alternative within the broader 'RLSH' movement. X-Alt - RLSH Wiki  https://share.google/ hpRMMy3ARYBshsW5U I wonder how many Black 'RLSH' or 'X-Alts' are there? This 'Xtra' concept could be an umbrella under which they could organize. If it catches on. 'Xtra' is derived from the 'X' earned in the Nation of Islam acknowledging captivity and erasure of identity imposed upon Black people. It also means activating our God-given, unlimited potential. As with the 'X-Alt' model, it pays homage to heroism and social commentary...

I'm 'Old School,' Not Conservative, When It Comes To Self Defense.

Image
https://youtu.be/nzQBfiqct54?si=lP23EYNRcYzbNftE I'm a traditional or 'old school' Brother My views on self defense on the surface may seemingly parallel those of the majority population philosophy called conservatism. We, myself and conservatives, seek to conserve different things. My second amendment stance has nothing to do with the colonists who founded this country for their own people I.might add, not necessarily mine. I apologize to integrationists among us but personal protection while Black demands brutal honesty. Self defense for me is rooted in opposing a public/private partnership that dehumanized enslaved persons, and their progeny. An implicit bias in majority population self defense advocacy is the concept of arming themselves first against uprisings by enslaved persons and since, to guard themselves from enslaved persons descendants still stigmatized as innate criminals. When I say 'self defense is self love,' it comes from an experience far removed ...

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...
