Legal Lynchings- The Blatant, boastful murder of Oscar Grant

by Queenandi X Sheba/PNN

The execution of Oscar Grant was a painful reminder of the "Legal Lynchings" That has been taking place for centuries. It also was a reminder of the superiority complex that lies deep within the western slavemassa that leads him to believe that it is OK to shoot a unarmed black man lying face down, detained, and in the back. It was a awakening reminder that even though we have President Barak Obama, There is always goin' to be a racist-cowboy pigg who will remind us of "our place" and even though history was made with our first african president, The pigg that murdered Oscar Grant (s) Message was loud and clear: "ya'll niggahz betta not be gittin' uppidy, either" (I'm not knockin' tha people, but realistically speaking, that's exactly what that pigg and his kind thinks of us)

When I first heard of Brotha Grant's murder, it just added on to the pain and resistance that I was born with. Me being a third (and more) generation survior of police brutality, it was just another slap in the face, and a failed attempt (again) to break the peoples' spirit. My mother, Carolyn X was beaten, and eventually neutralized for her role in the struggle, and her love for tha people. My godbrother, "Tuggie" was released from jail late at night, told to run, and was shot in the back, I was slammed viciously on my 7-months pregnant belly by 2 officers, and was robbed of some of my firstborn's shopping money. Reason: I had on a FUBU jacket, so I must've "been a drug dealer". My daughter, whom was in my womb at the time of my beating endured her fair share of the "Criminal injustus system", in which she was detained, called "niggah" repeatedly, taunted, robbed and threatened with a false case for rebelling against their abuse, and protesting her rights. My daughter's cousin was detained with her, but broke down and cried as he too was taunted, and was afraid to say anything resistant.
I say that to say this: This is not a coincidence. The secret army (po'lice) have been trained to murder the african since and before we were stolen from the motherland. They have been trained to murder africans in particular, poor people in general, thus becoming an in-part but common racially/economically motivated structure of population control and global domination.

If I was to have murdered someone on the job, intentially or not, cop or not, I would have been fired and arrested-on the spot, no bail of course. Godd forbid my victim's white-Hell I would've had two cops at my door, with a do-it-at-home lethal injection kit and before the victim's family could dry their tears, my ass would've been "strung up"
A double edged sword cuts us all. This system a lot of times is just like tha sword, sharp on one edge, to make sure it fillets blacks and other comerades in the struggle. The other edge is for the rich and so-called rulers and their skin doesn't even get broken! When tha pigg who killed Brotha Oscar Grant was put on paid leave, it only validated what I've been feeling and saying for a long time: "Amerikkka rewards her killaz, and eats her young."

I, and fellow PoorNewsNetwork/PNN staff Tiny, Phil Adams, Bruce Allison, and PNN-TV producer Tony Robles Re-ported and Sup-Ported at the January 7th Fruitvale BART and BART Board Hearings. And at the bart board meeting I couldn't help but to take a moment to tune into the pain of Oscar Grant's mother, Ms. Johnson. My heart started to hurt so bad for her that my hot tears began to blind me.

As a mama, it is terrifiying to know and see that our children are being shot down like homeless hamsters at any given time-without probable cause and extreme prejudice. The blood that's been POURED out all over any poor area or hood by killah kops bypassed the "alarming rate" a long time ago. I cannot help but to ask US this simple question: How did we allow for this kind of brutality to continue to claim the lives of our african & laraza brothers, sisters, children and other poor folks around the globe-through 2009!!??

If we stayed resistant & consistant on killa piggs when the first unjust (documented) murder of a brotha was known to us, would brothas like Z. Shakur, Fred Hampton, George Jackson, Johnathan Jackson, Cameron Boyd, Idriss Stelley, Oscar Grant still be alive? ...
