This so-called “Crime Statistics” of 2015 was retweeted by then- presidential candidate Donald Trump to his followers prior to being elected president of the US in what looks more like he was endorsing a stereotype by retweeting false crime stats. Now while in office, he continues his rhetoric against Blacks along with other members of the Universal Majority and the poor by creating tougher biased immigration laws, supporting killer kkkops and cutting back on low-income services. The inhumane contempt that the MAGA crowd has towards the rest of us has always been out in the open- in our faces and discussed, however we cannot speak up on the MAGA folks and overlook the fact that there are those of color who perpetuate the sygma of the “violent criminals” jacket.
There is a high rate of Black on Black/ Brown on Brown crimes being committed and one of the reasons are that the “hood terrorist” persona is being glorified through music and social media and made to be accepted as normal- to ruthlessly murder someone’s child, husband, wife or elder is the “gangsta” thing to do. It has been made normal to worship the gun as if it were a God and to emulate old gangster movies that rarely depiced people of color, unless they were servants or bait. “Entertainers” are recieving significant paychecks to become posterboys and girls to push the propaganda of internalized racism through reality TV and the “Imma nigga and if I see a nigga Imma kill a nigga” lyrics that has contributed to the destruction of the minds of a generation.
The “indirect black employees” of amerikka’s gang, the ku klux klan fulfill the white (non)supremacy agenda when they terrorize their own communities- the only things that are missing is the burning crosses and white sheets. These crimes of ignorance is then used as a tool for the media to instill “fear” into the MAGA supporters who in turn blame the victims of poverty and violence through hateful blogs that spew racism, resulting in the push for more Trumpaklan dictaors to be elected into office.
The senseless murder of businessman, rapper, activist and philanthropist Nipsey Hussle, who was gunned down in front of his clothing store on March 31st was a hard blow to the community and the same question came to mind upon hearing of his death and that was why is that when a Black Man takes a step towards self- determination by empowering his community he is either railroaded or murdered? He is shot down on all levels because he’s a threat in this society when educated and put into a twisted competition with the one with the “nigga” mentality to determine who’s the most dangerous.
This tragic form of tricknology has caused for all of our hoods to suffer when individuals who care about our people’s destiny are taken away from us, especially by us. I think of Malcolm X, Huey P Newton and many other conscious community warriors past and currently that paid the ultimate price while racist white folks gloat over the fact that sometimes we can be our worse enemy.
