Sgt. LaDavid Johnson's Obituary

I had the honor of writing a tribute to the green beret, Sgt. LaDavid Johnson, but I will not include it in this post with his obituary. You can also find his obituary at the link, but I wanted to share it so that you can learn a bit more about the brotha in the uniform. If you knew the Sgt. or would like to provide flowers to the family, the funeral home has options available. I am in no way affiliated with this funeral home.

Black Children and Racist Serpents

A Black woman takes her daughter to a Little Heroes Group Home, that supposedly provides a safe place for kids dealing with trauma. It wasn't exactly a safe place for this little Black girl though. A racist serpent cut off this 7 year old girl's hair and told her that it would grow back straight.

Her father is non-Black, I don't know him, don't know his views but he wasn't around to speak in defense of his Black daughter or to help obtain a legal defense against this place. Only the little girl's mom was out there. What that serpent told that girl was something to manipulate her in order to cut her hair out.

A grown ass good for nothing piece of shit, that's probably seen as a so-called good person, that helps out kids at this place. That's the person who did this to a child, just like teachers who have access to Black children and do or allow things to happen. If you have the option to home school, considerate or at least do the research. It doesn't matter how young your child is, they could be a newborn and these anti-Black serpents will still make it a point to be nasty towards them because its an opportunity to indulge in their hateful evil.

Bridgewater-Raynham Regional School District allowed this racist filth from the Plimoth Plantation to slither her way in there and end up taking a picture with two non-Black kids holding leashes with a little Black girl on the ground. The trash claimed it was part of the teaching, but she could've taught anything else, that was an excuse and the leashes were basically to sell that outlook of calling us animals. Look at her face, she has a big smile on it and the kids look like they have smiles on their faces. The one in the chair with her back facing the camera appears to be laughing.

A smile doesn't always mean friendly and kind. Tell your kids that they can't participate in anything beyond the basic school work and pre-approved activities. Anything else, needs to require a permission slip in detail about what it is that your child will be participating in and what they will be doing specifically. The school needs to know this and it needs to be on file, because there are people being invited in these schools doing traumatic things that shouldn't be accepted. The mock slave auction happened in a school too.

Make this a requirement for any school your child is enrolled in and get a copy of the signed requirement after the designated party at the school signs it. Don't be afraid of doing this, there is no attitude needed, you require this if your child is going to be enrolled in the school. They need a layer of protection, and if it still comes down on them, you have a signed copy of an agreement for legal action.

About Black Lives Matter

I was curious and decided to look in the "About" area of the BlackLivesMatter website. Members may not agree with what I'm taking away from the description, but this seems like a Trojan horse using Black Pain to accomplish other agendas hiding inside of it.

I see in the about area a very telling description.

BLM affirms the lives of:

Black Queer and Trans Folks (Listed1st)

I don't know what sexual preference has to do with keeping the cops from harm, killing and falsely imprisoning Black people but that matters to BLM.

Disabled Folks (Listed 2nd)

Undocumented Folks (Listed 3nd)

There are many undocumented people who don't give a damn about Black people and specifically African Americans, so what does BLM look like riding for them? If you donate to BLM, this is where a portion of that money is going. That's a slap in the face.

Folks w/ Records (Listed 4th)

This is complicated, but I stand with the Black people falsely accused and given unjustified time for non-violent offenses.

Women (Listed 5th)

all Black lives along the gender spectrum (Listed 6th)

You may be thinking "What's wrong with that?" but they went out of their way to not mention Black men at all. I don't even see Black women listed here specifically, but I do see Black Queers listed. Even if they say the first mention of "Black" was meant for each, that argument is lost if it has to be mentioned again at the bottom. Either way, men (specifically Black men) wasn't listed.

How many straight Black men have been killed by police? How many Black people for that matter? Does sexual preference matter? Men aren't mentioned, but the bloodshed and false imprisonment of straight Black men is being used to help others strive. Gay Black men are covered along with Gay Black women. It seems like I'm knit-picking but I'm not. I take offense to this, just like Damon Young's post, Jemele Hill's co-sign of his post, the liars who went after Nate Parker, etc.

Do straight Black men really fit into the BLM movement regarding it's agendas or is there a push for something else underneath a mask representing the desire for justice via BlackLivesMatter? A non-Black man funded it, and I have to be suspicious of what his motives might be.

It couldn't just be Black People, they chose to list it like this. This is a problem even if they didn't intend it to be that way although I doubt it, because it's segmenting people up when the objective is supposed to be as listed in the initial sentence. Sexual preference doesn't apply at all, it's "BLACK" Lives Matter but Blackness is being used for other things here and I hope you see that.

When I think of cops being punished for committing criminal acts against Black people, I'm not thinking of straight or gay, man or woman. I'm thinking Black, just like too many cops do. Wouldn't it sound crazy if my focus were solely on straight Black men? Wouldn't be fair, so the push from others should sound crazy for trying to take Black men out of the equation.

To do this is to wipe away Black men in an unspoken way. Be on the lookout because chances are this will increase and even when its obvious Black men were a part of something, we won't be mentioned at all. I'd rather Black people be mentioned together, but it should be clear that only specifics will occur when the desire to separate is there. It's divide & conquer.

Is Black Lives Matter getting laws changed or is it trying to change us?

Eminem on Trump: Why you shouldn't hate

There are some Black men and women sounding like disappointments when they don't have to take the volunteer route of such stupidity. I'm talking specifically about Eminem's performance dissing Trump and drawing a line in the sand for his fans.

Honestly, what in the hell are you crying about, because he did it or you didn't do it? Let him use his privilege, the platform he has and the passes he has access to in order to reach people that listen to him.

He isn't stealing thunder from our movement if its specifically covering the things that benefit us. If he can draw the line in the sand and get his fans to denounce Trump and the White Supremacy they may or may not subscribe to, I welcome it. In many cases, those disapproving of him do not have the same fans as him. So those of you disapproving should actually be turning to your fan base like he did, but then again there are also Black serpents who may be speaking out in the name of an anti-Black agenda.

If he were speaking like he were in your shoes, that would be one thing but I didn't get that. Black people have bigger fish to fry and if we can get individuals with huge fan bases to help make waves, possibly in the way of punishing criminal activity among Police, I'm fine with it. You shouldn't hate because there is nothing you're preventing or gaining that would prove beneficial from hating what he did. Focus and put that energy somewhere beneficial that can actually help Black people, not just you and the buzz you think you might get.

Keep Kneeling: You Have Power

To all the NFL and NBA athletes out there,

You seriously need to begin talking. If the player's can come together for union meetings, the player's that choose too kneel are able to come together in other places like the internet. You have an assortment of athletes willing to act dumb online, but how's about utilizing the power of the internet to bring birth to a new football league and a new basketball association?

If you haven't over obligated your wallets to taking care of family unwilling to work or make the money work for them and their independence, you may have options. Tricking it up is also a problem, linking up with the wrong women willing to lie and destroy your life for your money is another problem. Partying and just overall careless spending can also prevent you from having the means to live well for the rest of your days in most cases. So why not consider coming together as percentage owners of your own teams and get off the NFL's nationwide plantation? You can still play and retire as owners, creating opportunities for other Black men so they don't have to deal with the bullshit from owners of the franchise, who forget that they're not the owners of you.

You're on a tight leash, forced to do interviews, blackballed for having balls or because someone wants you to pay for something as Black athletes. I didn't mention the White athletes because the same doesn't always apply, you could be defending yourself from a woman compared to a White athlete intentionally abusing one and the outcome is worse for you. Josh Brown would've been out of the NFL and possibly facing an arrest and a lawsuit if he were Black.

I refuse to watch any NFL game or ESPN. I can't give you the ambition or make you do this, but if you build it the people will follow. The NFL as I've said before, is nothing without the majority Black athletes that dominate the sport. They can keep everyone who wants to stay but a new league bringing in new talent, coaches, the combined knowledge of players, and a few new touches to make it unique would be something I'd support. I'm disgusted with the NFL and the NBA, hell, College too. You wear pink ribbons to represent Breast Cancer Awareness and some even wear pink shoes. How's about a Black ribbon with a red pattern on it that reads "Used & Abused"?

I know that it wouldn't be the simplest undertaking but based on the way the NFL & the NBA are, its incentive enough to go to the drawing board and at least consider it. Pro athletes could even reach out to the community and HBCU's instead of snakes slithering in trying to see who can do what and how they tick via sports psychologists. From there try to get them into HBCU's and work on getting them paid as college athletes in a Jr. League. College students can go out and get a job busting their ass all day making who knows what, but you can't bust your ass out there on the field or the court to make money with the risk of injury because the rules are set a certain way usually with a non-Black person getting their cut of the profits. Time to make something beyond the current setup of non-Black rules for empowerment, and even if they don't make it to the pros, their skills could help put something in their pocket or even a new venture.

This is a tipping point to where something of the sort could take what is rightfully deserved by the players. The players with balls would be the way to get it started or a prominent Black man or woman making the right moves.

As it stands right now, on those NFL plantations, owners are trying to put their feet down and force other grown as men to stand because that will please White Supremacists, but keep kneeling. Every time you kneel think of all the Brothas and Sistas in this nation made to kneel for no reason because a bad cop wants to play power trip. When you kneel think of the injustice and the abuse of the legal system by serpents like the Commonwealth Attorney Warner D. Chapman, who issued a warrant for DeAndre Harris's arrest after he was almost beaten to death by Warner's fellow White Supremacists. Whether I agree with DeAndre Harris or any other Black people being out there protesting the Devil's Parade (White Supremacist Rally), this is ridiculous, but that's White Supremacy for ya.

You heard me right, he was beaten and almost killed, but a warrant is out for DeAndre's arrest. Here is a petition.Warner was voted in and he needs to be voted out for someone better.

Keep kneeling for the sistas who have fallen victim to bad cops, the brothas they've killed, planted drugs on, forced to lie, etc. Keep kneeling and don't let them enslave your soul for a dollar. That's one of the many horrible sides of the oppression that Mike Ditka wants dismiss. Some Black men and women only think there is one opportunity out there for them. Never believe that, even if you don't make as much, if you can look at yourself in the mirror, to hell with them and that money.

Don't forget though, Black people have always been sought to make money in some form of fashion and we have the ability to make it without White Supremacy's blessing (aka curse).

You are the NFL, the NBA and College and the show would stop without you.

Terrorism In Las Vegas: Ticking White Time-bombs

How many mass murderers that identify as "White" will it take before they're labeled terrorist? If White Supremacy has something to do with it, White Terrorism will never face the music. Even through the families of some of its victims, because the ability to indulge in evil until it can no longer be ignored by law enforcement, is highly desired.

I mean ignored in every sense of the word, because some of these people have given warning sign after warning sign of what's to come, and they've been given slaps on the wrist until things like the terrorist attack in Las Vegas. Many of you know that all it would take is a brotha or sista one time to have their ass thrown under the jail if they make it there, but many Black people have been locked up for little or nothing a lot longer than these ticking White time-bombs. (This isn't to be confused with all White people by the way.) This Vegas attack isn't being considered a terror attack by the large media outlets, but that's exactly what it is. It was reported that Stephen Paddock killed nearly 60 people. Was someone else involved? I have the slightest idea but you never know without surveillance, but nevertheless it was a terrorist attack. If he were from the middle east or gave any indications of being Muslim, forget about it, but he needs certain requirements in this Nation. He can't just commit an act of terror and be labeled what he is in the USA, because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Nearly 60 people losing their lives because a terrorist had access to the type of weapons that can make that happen, and it's horrible, but I can't count this as the biggest mass murder in the U.S. I'm pretty sure this isn't the highest death toll in American history, even if that's the story sold, I can't buy it. It might be when it comes to White people being killed in one mass killing incident but when it comes to Black people, I know this Nation. It's drenched with the blood of Sistas and Brothas ranging from babies ripped out of the womb up to grandparents losing their lives via White Terrorists.

Las Vegas isn't some one and done situation when it comes to White Terrorism, it was only a matter of time before it happened again and you can only hope that you and the people you love aren't around in the event that a ticking White time-bomb goes off in the future. Non-Black people can walk around with visible firearms without law enforcement showing up for the most part. Was Stephen Paddock walking around with his openly before he began his attack?

People have access to bomb guides online and the people uploading the guides aren't getting in trouble from what I know. There are some crazy ass pill popping non-Black people that have access to guns a lot easier than a Black person that has never even received a parking ticket, because some gun shops won't sell guns to Black people. Go figure. The bias some people have actually gets them killed, and they're welcome to stick with it as long as the people who aren't cool with that are left unscathed, but that's seldom the case just like the woman killed in Charlottesville.

Christy Sheats would probably be on her milk crate defending guns right now if she hadn't shot and killed her daughters to hurt her husband, resulting in the cops killing her. I bring her up, because some people complain about their rights being taken away from them and not being able to protect their family. In the end, her family actually needed all the protection they could get. It wasn't protection from "The Blacks" as Trump call us or from the "Super Predators" as Hillary called us, it was from her.

Having a gun isn't something I disapprove of, because there are people out there with a desire to do wrong in some of the worse ways possible, like Stephen Paddock. The problem is the type of guns. Civilians walking the streets like they're strapped for immediate deployment to a warzone is not okay. Those weapons can do a lot of damage to a terroristic degree, but they're still finding a place in the homes and arms of some Americans.

FYI: Stephen Paddock's father was on the FBI's most wanted list for those of you who might be interested in what his family tree may consist of regarding criminals.

By the way, Jonathan Smith saved 30 people before getting shot himself, but the cop that provided him assistance after being shot has leap frogged him via people who want Jon's selfless act overshadowed. Lyndsay Winkley from The San Diego Union-Tribune wasted no time briefly mentioning Jon before adding a "but" soon after, so that she could talk about the cop in detail.

Jonathan Smith saves non-Black people from White Terrorist

Jonathan was downplayed on CNN also. They didn't have the people he saved to call in and focus on him only. They had the cop to call in so that Jon could thank him. The cop doesn't matter overall as far as who he is by name in the long run, but what it does is helps sell the "Good Cop" narrative for all cops. This situation will probably be one of those references used to try and argue down police brutality, even though it's still police brutality. 

Jonathan could've left those people where they were to possibly meet an early death, and I wouldn't have blamed him because he had himself to think about, but he didn't and I commend him for that. Getting praise isn't the focus of what I'm saying, but to downplay the Black Hero is another one of those things I've come to expect in America, even if I don't accept it and neither should you. I'm not going to invest a lot of time into speaking about Jonathan either, because of him also downplaying himself. I won't dump on him for playing into their hand, but perhaps if we had more prominent Black-Owned (coon-free) news sources we'd get something different. Don't forget, call Stephen Paddock what he really is.

Be careful out there, because you never know. I avoid large crowds because of people who think like Stephen.
