THE WAR ON AFRIKAN CHILDREN

              PEACE 2 ALL AFRIKAN PEOPLE & DEATH 2 ALL ENEMIES OF AFRIKA !!!

 
    Yesterday I read that the case against the police officer who murdered Aiyana Jones in Detroit in 2010 was declared a mistrial. Needless to say, the outcome of the trial was only a surprise in that the cop wasn't outright acquitted of all charges. In all my years on this Earth, I can not recall hearing about a police officer ever being convicted of murdering a Black person. This is not to say that it has never happened in the history of the United States, just that it is an incredibly rare occurrence. Some officers have been convicted of lesser charges such as involuntary manslaughter, but not murder. The number of police murders of young Afrikans here in America continues unabated, and real justice is never received. At some point Afrikans have to recognize these murders for what they are & call it like it is. It is part of the war against our children and against Afrikan people in general.
     Now I know that statement is inflammatory to say the least, so let's look at the facts. The murder of Black children & adolescents by police officers is only 1 aspect of this war. Black children suffer from the most poverty, they generally attend the worst schools, eat the worst food & often live in the worst neighborhoods. As many know, 70% of Afrikan children are born to single parents. This is not to say that a single parent cant raise a child, but it is not the ideal. It has become obvious after 2 generations of this type of family structure that our communities are becoming completely dysfunctional. If you disagree with this fact, then there is no need to read any further. You are living in an alternate reality.
     In light of the previous stats & facts, we must come to the conclusion that the events are not coincidental. The condition of our communities have actually gotten worst with the selection of America's " first Black" president. His unwillingness or inability to even verbally address the problems of Afrikans in America speaks volumes. We get speeches about personal responsibility, while bankers get free money, homosexuals get executive orders written for them, and "Latinos" get a national speaking tour in favor or immigration reform. All of this while Black children die by the hundreds in Mr. Obama's adopted home of Chicago. In that same city, Mr. Obama's former cabinet member decides that closing more schools in the city will help those same children learn better. His example is also being followed in other cities such as Washington DC, Philadelphia & New York City. These school closings overwhelmingly are affecting Afrikan children. We can expect this pattern to continue nationwide, with the excuse being the need for budget cuts because of the sluggish economy.
     Another aspect of the War on Afrikan children is the school to prison pipeline. I have seen video in the last couple of years of police officers handcuffing children as young as 6 YEARS OLD. Afrikan children are being suspended and expelled for the smallest infractions. If that's not enough we have "Stop & Frisk" in NYC, where young people are constantly harassed by the police for walking while Black. I have seen reports that other cities considering adopting New York's "Stop & Frisk" tactics. So our children are treated as criminals before school, during school & after school. At what point will Afrikans recognize the signs of an ongoing attack on our youth ? What will it take for us to say enough is enough ? The sad part is that these tactics are just a part of the all out assault on Afrikan children in America. The reality is that these things will continue to take place until we as a people make them stop, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY !!!
