Charlie Kirk was killed by a White person, keep all your evil and anger over there

Black people are expected to give automatic pity to anti-Black racists who will take and try to reduce our humanity to the smallest degree possible. Fuck that and fuck them, don't play that game. Even when someone from their community commits an act of White on White crime, the eyes turn to us to in some mentally unstable and evil way trying to put their gun and blood in our hands. The blood they're thirsty for, the guns they obsessed with. The guns Charlie said casualties are worth having every year over, and this includes their children. What if Charlie's kid was one of those kids who didn't make it out of one of those demonic encounters with a school shooter the Government allowed to strike? Would he have altered his words? We already know these other demons would alter their words because it's a different story when it happens to them. Cancel culture was okay when Charlie was killed, so these wishy washy ass snakes only stand on what benefits them, and some of us knew that already that why we don't bother trying to debate them. I heard somebody else start saying this lately, but I've always said go argue and debate with your mammy. We don't owe them our time, we've wasted enough time on these soul sapping serpents.

There are people trying to not only compare Charlie Kirk to Martin Luther King, Jr., but acting like hate is so bad now when Charlie Kirk was on that side that keeps crosshairs on Black people. Acting like we're supposed to be so loving and forgiving when anti-Black racists are expected to just have all these passes in the world. Shidddd Tell them to get the hell on and handle the people in his community who are tied to hate that saw him as a comrade, like the enemies they are. We still have to watch them all, so its forever foolish to go post up where you're outnumbered and can't handle the situation. I grew up knowing not to go around people you don't know like that, so if somebody wanted me to go somewhere it wouldn't happen. Fuck that, fuck them folks, and fuck these two faced tethers too.

All it takes is one wrong step to slip up, so watch your step.

There are serpents slithering over here trying to preach to us that violence is never the way. This is about a White on White crime. Tell them to go talk to somebody in their family or their community. They can take that same snake ass energy to the Klan Rally's, to the Maga Rally's, to the Gun Rally's, to the Rally's the anti-Black demons will have to justify the death of Black people and debate them on why violence is never the way. You know they won't do that, they only want us unarmed and peaceful.

Stay Safe And Stay Dangerous! You can protect yourself too.

"He's just a man."

"He was a Christian."

"He was a father."

"He didn't have to be murdered."

"The killer was a confused kid."

"You shouldn't applaud murder dude."

"You're not showing love dude."

"Are you going to disagree that a 22 year old is not a kid."

"Its about people being people."

These are the words that came from an aggressive non-FBA woman trying to debate Tariq Nasheed and put words in his mouth about Charlie Kirk. This bitch was more pissed off at Tariq than she was with Charlie's killer, she had excuses for him. If he was a 22 year old Black "Kid", she would've came with a completely different energy. We're supposed to trust that? She was more angry at Tariq than the white dude celebrating after he was killed.

They are trying to lump us in this White on White crime shit, saying this isn't about White and Black, this is about people. Despite it being all about "Chicago", and "Black on Black Crime", "Black Lives Matter", and as Charlie Kirk put it in his last breath, "Gang Violence" to talk about us.

What happened to that twisted definition of Black Fatigue? What happened to the ALL-WHITE Town? Sundown Towns exist. So many places that they can go to get away from us using White flight, and where we'd rather them go, but the demon inside these people make them bypass wanting to spend quality time with the people they love so they can focus on their anti-Black devilment. The men and women won't even focus on their household because they're so obsessed with us. Their children will have games and events at school they won't show up to because they would rather go to events or online to talk about us. God don't love ugly, that's why their house of cards if falling apart. These White pastors who feel some type of way over Charlie Kirk should be more proof that you shouldn't be up in their churches just as much as the off-code Black ones. Be wise with your money, tithe in the community.

If Foundational Black Americans are delineating from other groups within our diaspora because of the questionable practices and enemy behavior presented by some that have affected us to an undeniable degree, then what in the fuck do we look like clinging to people who subscribe to White Supremacy openly or in the shadows? These people are stupid, and they want us to be dumber than they are.

Our FBA Warrior Elders died Fighting for OUR Betterment

I corrected the Brotha who posted this video, but I'm sharing it here too. Please remember that our people didn't go out fighting for a political process. That's not where lie starts and ends, the voting process has validity when you're able to get something out of it. Our FBA Warrior-Elders died fighting for OUR Betterment, not to help someone get a job so that they can double down on trying to slit our throat. Tangibles is the goal, protection is the goal. Speaking of protection, you better stop playing with these anti-Black people who have a chip on their shoulder and the devil fueling the unGodly spirit they have. We don't have to accept their hatred, but they need to respect boundaries because if they push the line they need to understand that they're going down. Like I said, if every other Black person had that steel, the act right would be immediate. If your kids are roaming these streets because of your foolishness, at least get them some pepper spray.

We know they use dirty cops, but we need to treat everyone up and around a cops ass like a piece of shit. They need no wiggle room, no understand, no support. These are the cops who do dirt in the dark and will have young Brothas hanging from trees ruling it a suicide when their hands are covered in blood and fibers from the rope. Wise up, spread the word, and watch your back out here.

The part @44:06 where you said our people died so that you and I can have a right to vote, shouldn't be flipped to bring shame to those who sat it out for righteous reasons. A politician thinking they can get on the same old bandwagon of playing in our faces by way of benign neglect, while giving other communities the best who don't even ride for them like that, was another attempt to slap Foundational Black Americans in the face. Our people fought to be free and were willing to die for such, we forced the hand of the country our people built by way of fights such as the Seminole Wars. It gave the enemy no choice. Today, a number of us are fighting to make sure that politicians do for our people. Especially on the Democrat side who expect our vote to just be given to them. They need to get the message. Other communities need to get the message too. They needed to catch this hell to put down the slings and arrows against us. It was good to have the votes to show the Black people did vote and have the date of other groups because it made more Black people come to the conclusion that it's best to simply ride for the betterment of our community since too many others take aim at us to feel a since of comradery with anti-Black racists. Look at what happened with the colleges before the current President even took office. A community aiming at us, worked with Ed Blum to get rid of affirmative action in college and they were shocked that a number of us didn't fight it because at the end of the day we know who benefitted more. The group who worked with Ed Blum against Black Americans, ultimately played themselves.

That brought more Black Americans to this side to question why are we being the warrior class of America fighting for all while too many others fight for themselves and their groups against us? We've had enough sacrifices for the good of the country while others kick back and soak up the benefits. It may seem like it's all internal to some, but poverty can increase the chance of crime occurring in the FBA community. That significantly reduces as the income increases, even when reaching the lower middle class and even then not all of our people who are in the lower class commit crimes. As you know, its a small percentage while others make due. Strategically if you move in ways to affect a community it makes things harder for them to stand up. Allow your officers to piss on the badge and violate the laws of said citizens, and you make things harder for them to stand up. Kaboom their cities when they thrive, hit them with imminent domain, deny them tangibles, including reparations of which their owed, and you can pretty much guess the rest. One specifically that you may have mentioned, were Black women not being allowed to have the father in the home in order to get government assistance. You know like I know what that was and still is.

There are a lot of Wyt Supr3macist parts moving in this country despite the various attempts and fighting. Denial of loans, giving bad appraisals, and more. So many politicians are aware of these things occurring, aware that Black people in this country top the list in terms of hate crime victims, and they don't step in. There is proof that they've helped others though. In this past election where the democratic hopefuls got pushback from multiple members of the FBA community to find out what these people would do for us. A number of them played dumb, lied, stayed silent, or changed the subject. Sistas and Brothas like myself aren't cool with making life comfortable for everyone else beyond the Black American community. So while some of our people voted, others chose the couch or voted for candidates who seemed promising based on things they said and may have done. They know what they need to do. Look at California and how the CBC sabotaged Reparations under their leader, Gavin Newsom. They sabotaged it, then some had the nerve to dance in the face of Black Americans, you can look all this up. Look at the politicians crying and fighting, willing to go to jail for illegals.

Using the horrific blood drenched history of Black Americans to argue for illegals while denying Black Americans. Who are we supposed to be, the friendzone guy giving up all of our resources and support while they give all of their attention to others who just use them? Think about it. Chicago is a prime example, did you know before they went hard in the paint for illegals, they were throwing the tents away that belonged to homeless Black Americans? We had to raise hell so that the Mayor wouldn't take the community center away from the community who puts money into that center. That's why it's moving in this direction, even in terms of delineation because others were already out for self. So in order to improve our community, just like you're trying to do by way of your videos, we're getting down to the bottom of things including problems that immigrated in but the flags of division go up when there's something positive to celebrate.

We don't even have our own caucus that focuses on our needs, but others like the AAPI have their own caucuses that focus on their groups needs. Our caucus focuses on covering everything under the sun, and then Black Americans in part when it can be used as a photo op. Look who's running the CBC, look who a number of these politicians are. They aren't Black Americans, like Wes Moore. Did he affect us? Yes, and it wasn't in a positive way. Look at the way Top Cop Kamala was moving in California? Did you know the Black girl that got hit with truancy, was in and out of the hospital with serious health issues? That girl ended up having a stroke because of the hell her mom was being put through while fighting for her freedom after being locked up over all this. Take and attach that to what Kamala did while running for President, like she was so down for Black Americans. Telling lie after lie, even offending her own father to seem cool. Don't forget about the creepy doctoring of the photograph in her book "The Truths We Hold: An American Journey." We get lies, we get topics about shoes, hip hop, offensive political ads. Our people didn't fight and die for benign neglect Brotha, and you know this. You're sharp, so just take a step back and consider what I wrote here. I say all that to say, don't preach to us when it comes to voting, Brotha. I know you're trying, and I appreciate that you aren't out here sounding like a t@p dancer, but there are a number of moving parts that you acknowledge in part but you're still missing fragments of. Peace

Advisory for Black Victims of Property Damage by Federal Agents in Washington, DC

If you are a victim of harassment, accosting, or property damage by federal agents, it is crucial to take immediate and organized steps to protect your rights and seek damages. Not sure of what to do? Consider the information below:

---

1. Document Everything

• Take Photos and Videos: Capture clear images and videos of the damage to your property, the scene, and any interactions with federal agents. Ensure that timestamps are visible.
• Write Detailed Accounts: Record a detailed account of the incidents, including dates, times, locations, and descriptions of what occurred. Note the names and badge numbers of any federal agents involved, if possible.

3. Seek Legal Counsel

• Consult an Attorney: Engage with an attorney who specializes in civil rights or personal injury law. They can provide tailored advice and help you navigate the legal process.

• Understand Your Rights: Your attorney can explain your rights under the Federal Tort Claims Act and other relevant laws, including the potential for filing a claim against the government.

---

4. File a Claim for Damages

Don't allow them to trample on your rights, there are avenues available to hold accountable those who have wronged you.

Boycott the OPPs not FBA!

I hear people talking about how they plan to boycott this, that, and the third, but is that business being shifted to FBA?

Shifting that money to a new non-FBA won't help FBA. I understand if you need something that an FBA isn't providing in your immediate area or your research has fallen flat, but what if you have an option? Will you support?

FBA Sistas boycotting African salons, are you going to FBA Sistas like you? If your next move to make the boycott easier, is to do your own hair, then you're still boycotting FBA. All this spending power becomes a lick for other groups if little to none of it is spent in-house.

Also, there's something you should think about. Money is being dumped on these churches still, instead of tithing in the community through your own means, grassroots FBA organizations, nonprofits, and on-code churches who sew into the community for our betterment. Does your church have a mission fund where they send money to different countries? All this money going to these countries that include villages in Africa, and there are homeless FBAs on the streets over here. We have to donate to send stuff to the other side of the world because their own kin are so nasty, greed, corrupt, and unGodly, but our own backyard has a growing homeless population? What's wrong with this picture? And for the people from Africa who come over here being anti-FBA, you deserve all the karma you get. Despite the decades of money being given through organizations like the FBA church, and everything else, you're still moving demonically.

I'm not speaking for health, but I am speaking for the betterment of our community. FBA, shift your money and support where you're able to do so, and pray about shifting your tithes. If your church doesn't have an accountability statement to show you where the money is going, question it. I'd still question whether any is being taken off the top, but a reoccurring statement gives you a breakdown of where money's supposed to be going. Progress reports need to be presented too or they're playing. If the community is being neglected by the local church, but they can do for someone else, what's wrong with this picture?

This is what AI had to say when I asked what our spending power would do for us:

On-Code FBA need to be the only ones speaking FOR FBA!

Can we trust outsiders trying to represent us? Have I not pointed out misleadership before? Have I not pointed out how other communities get proper representation by true leadership in their Caucus compared to the benign neglect with a side of crumbs we get? We can't trust serpents. If we watch our step and oppose the OPPS within our lineage the ones on the outside are no different.

As of 2025, several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, have faced bans or restrictions due to issues related to scams and fraud. These nations have been linked to various fraudulent activities that have led to increased scrutiny and travel restrictions. Historically, many of these countries participated in the transatlantic slave trade, with West Africa being a significant source of enslaved people, particularly in countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Benin. Central Africa, including Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and East Africa, particularly Zanzibar, were also heavily involved in this tragic chapter of history.

In contemporary times, exploitation continues across the continent, often driven by corrupt leadership and partnerships with foreign entities. For instance, Nigeria suffers from corruption and mismanagement in its oil sector, leading to widespread poverty despite its wealth in natural resources. Ghanaian leaders have faced criticism for engaging in deals with foreign companies that exploit local resources without benefiting the local population. South Africa grapples with issues of land reform and economic inequality, with some leaders prioritizing personal gain over the welfare of their citizens. The Democratic Republic of the Congo experiences significant human rights abuses due to the exploitation of its mineral resources by both local leaders and foreign corporations.

For Foundational Black Americans, the imperative to reject misrepresentation is rooted in our unique lineage and the historical injustices we have faced. We will not accept or allow anyone who isn't of our lineage to represent us, especially when it comes to our rightful claims for reparations. Even within our community, we oppose misrepresentation, as it undermines our struggle for justice and equity. The only way for us to improve is to remove those who work against our progress and ensure that we receive what we are owed. Understanding these dynamics is crucial; the historical context of the slave trade and the ongoing exploitation by leaders in these countries highlight the importance of authentic representation. Our voices and experiences must be accurately reflected, ensuring that we are not misrepresented or exploited in discussions about our past and present. If others who are not part of our Foundational Black American lineage choose to accept outside representation for things like their reparations for wrongs in their homeland, that is their decision, but for us and our lineage, we openly reject it.

The only representation we want is from within our lineage, and that representation must be based on our approval, as those who represent us will have our best interests at heart. Stay critical and vicious for our betterment.

What Do YOU Want For The Future? Are YOU Willing To Fight For It?

Before I get started, I'm still hearing certain things being said verbatim. Zero mentions of where these certain people got it from, but I see that as these people not wanting to appear as if they're anything but all knowing. We don't know it all, but they don't believe in synergy like that unless they can profit off of it. Even then, in certain aspects there are people with the ability to create lanes for other Brothas and Sistas but they're focused on themselves. What does that say to you? You don't have to stop with them, because that's not where progression stops, do your part. If someone moves a certain way, no need to get into it with them but you know to keep your distance if that's how they play it. It would actually be more beneficial if they moved with synergy, because one hand washes the other and that's how we should be moving, but you can do that with other Brothas and Sistas who move with that in mind.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Using pieces of what others say, will have someone sounding as if they're all over the place at times. If the talking point sounds good, they'll jump on it to monetize it, and if they don't realize someone else's opposing outlook sounds good they'll end up sounding like a hypocrite.

So keep flourishing and beware, one person isn't all knowing, but history offers truth with irrefutable facts. If you're the type to just take something that sounds good because you can monetize it, you do a disservice if the topic is deeper. There are serpents on their job to do the devil's bidding to pick any and everything we do apart, so we have to come as concrete as possible and deeper than surface level. If you found truth in something someone said, give that Brotha or Sista their props and expound in a way that makes it your own. You have the ability to think, so add to it.

Now with that said, I wanted to create this post because of the recent Essence Fest BS that occurred. It's been a consistent slick progression to weed out Black Americans. Essence Fest hit a wall in 2025 and it's undeniable. Know that once it was sold to non-FBA, we had to treat it was non-FBA and move on to create and support something FBA-owned. FBA never took that approach to piss on other groups because we made something, that's why so many people eat off of the things we make but they fight like hell if even one of us appears to borrow from something that culturally aligns with them. So it's okay to eat off our table, but it's time to fight for every crumb if its their table, even if kickbacks would occur. Look at what happened with Michael B. Jordan.

Cultural events and the desire to take over are two different things. We've even seen this when it comes to Juneteenth and people trying to disrespectfully engulf our history with their own, we saw it with Black History Month too, which is why I prefer that Freedmen have our own month. That got me thinking about what prisoners do when they check paperwork. We're already looking at people and questioning their background, and I've been doing that for quite some time now. Prisoners look at paperwork for a number of reasons to know how a person moved to end up in there, to know who's who and all that.

There are people trying to create these lil arguments acting like what they're actually doing. We aren't working for the betterment of everyone else without a single fruit to bare for ourselves. Only a fool would do that, and a number of people expect us to live like that. You already know that's how a number of these GOD Damned politicians move, which is why a number of us go so hard in the paint against them because they operate against us. FBA needs FBA support, so if you're FBA/Black American/Freedmen/Black Native or however you identify as a Black American Freedmen with a deep lineage here, pivot. Don't get on bandwagons about how we should support Costco and others, see what you can back that's FBA. Your dollars, your views. The more we have when it comes to resources, the more we can do. That's why more FBA Brothas & Sistas should be all the way active when it comes to slipping in to grab those jobs that illegals were eating off of. If you're homeless, and you need to get on your feet, why wait? Sleeping on a couch or in a car? Jump on that money.

Construction jobs, housekeeping, waste management. It's people turning their nose up to housekeeping in a nice cool building with hotel rooms. You can make decent money without working on a grill or out in the hot sun, and if you land a management position, you're looking at over $30 at a number of these jobs. Don't sleep on these job slots because that's money you can stack and save. Tuck money, spend wisely, live below your means to get in position, don't mess with off-code churches, tithe in the community which can impact FBA businesses. Waste management men who collect the trash can get almost $150K a year. You know what that can do for your life? Shid, think about it and if you come across a job that you know could put somebody else on their feet from the community, if it won't hurt you to share the link then share that sh*t. It's not that hard, especially if it's somebody that looked out for you before. I don't like when someone has people looking out for them and riding for them but they don't have the decency to even say thank you or look out. That's the type of people who doesn't believe in synergy, that's why some teams fail. They'll have the best player in the league and will fail because the team doesn't work together and there's no I in team. What do you want for the future? Do you want to be f*cked up and a** out or are you willing to fight to help with our progression?

None of this has anything to do with attacking anyone else, but some of them will see this as an attack. For these individuals, I don't give a damn how they feel. We have the right to provide ourselves with self-care. So that's how we have to move because the past and the present has revealed the truth that it won't get better until we as FBA/Black American Freedmen make a shift. Even the slight pivot we've made has already shaken up this country, could you imagine if we start spending more money with FBA businesses and even focusing more on FBA content creators? The growth will be undeniable. We get enough neglect as it is from the outside, we can't have boycotts from within and expect to reach the next level. And yes, I keep on mentioning these pastors out here. Understand that these people know the mayor, they know politicians, and they know the chief of police. How many of these pastors speak out on our behalf? Look at how these politicians are able to get the police in their city to stand down when it comes to these illegals. They can't put in a word for the people dumping tithes and love offerings on them on a weekly basis? Giving much needed resources on a weekly basis? So we have to make it make sense, and if it's a waste of money to tithe in these churches who are working with the enemy, we're better off blessing people in the community who are hurting, donating to FBA grassroots that really move in the streets to make an positive impact, and also supporting FBA businesses. Even if you hit up an FBA BBQ shack with tithes to feed struggling families in the community. The Sista over Moor Threads on the Emancipation Media channel on Youtube, hipped me to the fact that FBA created house parties to help struggling Brothas and Sistas with rent. I remember something like that back in the day and people selling plates, but that term came from FBA. We knew how to make money move in impactful ways, and we still can without anyone else's permission.

Subject: Ethics Complaint Against [Congressman’s Name]

Dear [Committee/Office Name],

I am writing to formally submit an ethics complaint against Congressman [Name] for actions that undermine the integrity of the reparations process in California, specifically regarding the allocation of funds intended for reparations to eligible individuals.

1. Background: The California Reparations Task Force was established to address the historical injustices faced by African Americans in the state. It is my understanding that Congressman [Name] has engaged in actions that sabotage the intended purpose of these reparations, including attempts to redirect funds meant for eligible individuals to non-profit organizations with ties to his associates.

2. Allegations: I believe that Congressman [Name] has violated the following California laws and ethical standards:

• Conflict of Interest (California Government Code § 87100): Congressman [Name] has a financial interest in non-profit organizations that are attempting to receive funding from the reparations allocated for individuals. This creates a conflict of interest that undermines the integrity of the reparations process.

• Misuse of Public Funds (California Penal Code § 424): If Congressman [Name] has actively sought to divert funds from the reparations intended for individuals to organizations he is affiliated with, this constitutes a misuse of public funds.

• Fraudulent Conduct (California Penal Code § 487): If it can be demonstrated that Congressman [Name] knowingly misled constituents or engaged in deceptive practices to secure funding for non-profits at the expense of eligible individuals, this may constitute fraud.

3. Evidence: I have gathered the following evidence to support my claims:

• [List any documents, emails, public statements, or other evidence that support your allegations.]
• [Include any testimonies or statements from individuals who can corroborate your claims.]

4. Request for Action: I urge the committee to investigate these allegations thoroughly. It is crucial that public officials are held accountable for their actions, especially when they impact vulnerable communities seeking justice and reparations for historical wrongs.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and the necessary actions to uphold the integrity of the reparations process in California.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

I wouldn't expect everyone to reach out, but I understand that if enough of us take action to hold these individuals accountable, it can create greater challenges for them to engage in similar misconduct in other states. This would set a legal precedent. We fight today, our kids benefit tomorrow.

A successful action against these Opps could establish a legal standard or framework that future cases can reference. If you didn't know, when a court or regulatory body makes a ruling on a specific issue, that ruling can influence how similar cases are handled in the future.
