Police Taser an 8-Months Pregnant Woman Over a Parking Ticket
Thirty year old Tiffany Rent is reported to have parked in a handicapped spot and as a result was ticketed. You would think that this would be the end of it, but it wasn’t. At least not in Chicago, where the government is so hard up for money that they will ticket you for nearly anything. Rent didn’t know what she was getting involved with when she went irate over the parking ticket. But even in her anger, it’s hard to believe she deserved what she received in return.
Rent , who is eight months pregnant, is alleged to have taken the ticket, tore it up and thrown it at the officer. The officer is reported to have responded by using a taser gun on the woman, who is just one month from giving birth. There were no witnesses to our knowledge, and we’re not doctors. But we speculate that tasering a pregnant woman might not be the healthiest thing to do.
A police source says the officer may not have known she was pregnant, but a female officer noticed and suggested Rent be taken to the hospital. This shows that the officers may have known something. Also, Rent was 8-months pregnant at the time of the incident, so she was likely showing (see her picture above).
Her boyfriend and father of the baby, Joseph Hobbs was also arrested for trying to intervene as the police tasered his pregnant girlfriend. He suffered a dislocated elbow in the struggle with police. There is no word on whether the couple is planning to sue.
Both rent and her boyfriend were arrested and Rent was also treated and released at a local hospital.

Shame, Shame on the Police force in Chicago. Some of my friends have that Nowadays when you call the police you don’t know if you’re getting a Cop of a Criminal. Perhaps this kind of action give some credence to that statement.
police are like this everywhere.you name the state,and i betcha there is a cop that hurt a black person
illegally.
no excuse for this black or white the officer or the woman in question, it was uncalled for use of tazer…and shameful,,the officer should loose their job before they do kill someone
tHEY DO KILL PEOPLE ALL THE TIME AND ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH IT.
Interesting. I’ve seen whites do the same thing and worse. Never once have they been tased. And I’m not kidding either. Simply go on Youtube to watch the videos and the s**t whites get away with. It’s unbelieveable.
This would not happen to my pregnant girlfriend, simply because she and I are wise enough to understand as black ppl- when dealing with law enforcement any minor infraction will be taken to the extreme. Whereas, caucasians can and ‘do’ curse and tear up tickets right in front of police officer but, are given the benefit of doubt. Black people please STOP believing that you will be treated in the same gentle manner by law enforcement as caucasians. And, stop believing everything you see on television regarding black and white interaction. Another problem- on one hand virtually all AA’s acknowledge Law enforcement is racist against black ppl while at the same time, many AA’s throw temper tantrums like most caucasians and expect to be treated with the same level of dignity and respect. After more than 400 years of despicable treatment one would think black ppl would understand the rules by now.
I know this is not a funny situation but you made me laugh out loud. You would think that we would GET IT by now for real!
Big Will you are so correct in your understanding of the difference of how blacks vs. whites are seen and treated by police officers in the USA. Nine times out of ten this scene will occur in the US and sometimes it doesn’t make a difference whether the police officer is white or black. For some reason whether it’s the fear of the black public or economics (can’t afford a lawyer.)The police seem like they can do anything to our people with out fear of recourse. I would have taken the ticket and went to court with it b/c I would rather be fined than take a chance of death. No sense in trying to plead your case with someone who has deemed you in the wrong in the first place.
This is a rational question.WOULD YOU CONFRONT SOMEONE WITH A GUN AND
YOU DID NOT HAVE A GUN.POLICE OFFICERS ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES
HAVE SENT A CLEAR MESSAGE TO BLACKS THAT THEY DONT CARE WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU IN YOUR CHILD HOOD,MENTAL DEFECT,BEING PREGNANT,OR
JUST PLAIN OUT BEING INJURED.THE MAJORITY OF WHITES ARE TAUGHT NOT TO
TREAT US LIKE HUMANS,THEY ARE TAUGHT TO BE INSENSITIVE TO OUR SITUATION
THAT THEIR FOREFATHERS HAS CAUSED A TRCKLED DOWN PHSYCHOLOGICAL
EFFECT UPON US THROUGH A REACTION TO THE EXPERIENCE AND THE PAST
DOWN GENERATIONAL PAIN.PLEASE PEOPLE,DONT ARGUE WITH A RACIST THAT IS
HOLDING A GUN,UNLESS YOU ARE READY FOR SOME TYPE OF BODILY INJURY.
You got that right. Trying to talk to the police about a charge is like trying to talk to an NBA ref. You usually get know where.
It is this very same mentality that exacerbates the situation such that our children are now unsafe to walk down the streets of American without the fear of hurt harm and danger stemming from either their uneducated peers or mentally disturbed thugs with a badge. It’s past time for right minded individuals to stand up, united as were those great people in the past who gave of themselves to ensure their children would have a brighter day. We owe it to the next generation.
Correction, this COULD and WOULD happen to you and your pregnant girlfriend, as a black person, you don’t have to do anything to be attacked by the cops. There are more than a few cases where blacks that COOPERATED with law enforcement and were not only ATTACKED but KILLED! So don’t think for one minute that cooperating with police will shield you from an attack…being BLACK makes you more SUSCEPTIBLE to being attacked!
I totally agree with you, but I think it’s a generational thing. Old schoolers like me get it, but youngsters have been conned into believing everything is equal until something like this happens, and then they are surprised.
exactly! you don’t know, listen to Neely Fuller. black ppl stop deliberatly putting yourself in harms way. this was a heinus and dispicable act on the part of the police officer but history has told us, even when we are totaly respectable we are shot or mistreated by white law enforcement. history is not being learned. i pray they are able to sue the pants off the cop and get some kind of restitution. expect anything, we are in a system of white supremacy, belive that! act accordingly
I just wanted to say kudos….I will now go to work and be marginalized, discriminated against, called the ‘N’-word behind my back (and sometimes to my face) and have little recourse to address it, I will get in my car and be stopped by the Highway Patrol because they don’t believe someone of my color should be driving a nice car, I will be asked to ‘stop resisting’ as I stand there motionless, I will be beaten because they feel alarmed as my arms hang motionless by my side, because they claim my hands were ‘dangerously by my waistband’, I will go to the supermarket where the white check out girl will drop the change into my hands from a height of two feet because she is afraid of touching my hands, I will speak to white people who will pretend they can’t understand my English despite the face that I have a better command of their own language than they themselves, I will be scorned and derided, with thinly-veiled jealousy, for my ability to speak four languages fluently, I will walk on the sidewalk and watch several white folks crossing the street rather than pass by my side on the sidewalk, I will watch the news and see thousands of Caucasian criminals be given slaps on the wrist with justifications and platitudes that claim they were under stress as an excuse why they committed the crimes for which Blacks and Hispanics receive decades worth of prison sentences for the same offenses, I will then have to read crazy and stupid posts by bird-brained racists that demand from me that I forget about the past and stop moaning and complaining, in an weak attempt to convince me that racism doesn’t exist in the United States of America. BULLSHIT. You can call me whatever name your moronic empty pinhead devises, you can conspire to prevent me from getting that cherished promotion, you can devise new and improved strategies so that I can’t maintain a decent mortgage or you can even regress back to the days of ‘separate but equal’….but I guarantee you, white racist morons, you can’t break my spirit or diminish my intelligence…..and THIS disturbs you. Carry on….
That’s what the h**l Im talking about. Truth!!!!!
All I can say, Tokunbo, is WOW!!!!!! Your post hits America right across the head. You are right on point.
One of the biggest mistakes A/As often make is believing that they are free to exercise the same type of rights, freedom and respect afforded to caucasians (regardless of their point of birth or origin). In fact, I would not even dare to lower myself to that level of hypocrisy. Why would I even WANT that type of “equality” with anyone (white or black) who is a simple wannabe seeking acceptance into a circle that is small, extremely selective and controlling.
Governments and law enforcement officials are not there to protect the people…they are to protect property, the law and rights of those in power. Why else would ANY a**hole deign to risk the life of an unborn child by tasering the mother. It’s great that mom-to-be is alright.
Let’s pray, however, that the unborn child was unaffected.
As for your work situation is concerned, the only question is “how long will you continue being personally subjected to the idiocity”?
Self-employment and/or self-determination is, for me, the only immediate answer. Selah!
applause to you for continuing in the struggle! racism daily, 24/7/265. be not discouraged. stay codified and be aware. ofcourse there are other things to fill our lives with but this is serious.
Tokunbo, every black man and woman who reads this can not deny that everything you have said here is true and it will continue to happen to our children until we own up to this and demand that our black Senators and Representatives and Preachers start to address these issues and come up with a way to charge and jail these people who do hate crimes against Black citizens. This cop who tried to kill that unborn black child with a taser gun should be the face of our commitment to stop these racial attacks by Police officers whose salaries we pay.lionstruth@yahoo.com
HORRIBLE. just horrible actions by the CPD.
While the officer in question should be terminated for using poor judgement, the pregnant woman should have had enough common sense not to confront a police officer over a parking ticket. Which if she didn’t have a handicap permit, she earned.
Thank you MrFox1988. I so agree with your statement. Why are you clowning over a ticket, if you didn’t have (at all or visibly displayed) a handicap permit?
If you check a haw clerks office to speak with an attorney for what is considered handicapped, you will find out that the phase of Pregnancy is actually considered a handicap. I agree with that law and apparently, she knew that, because if she hadn’t she wouldn’t have thrown a tantrum about. So, I do not agree with either of your statements.
typo Law Clerk’s
Probably because she thought 8 months in her pregnancy would be considered a handicap to anyone with half a brain.. i’m just saying.
FIRST OF ALL,ANY REASONBLE MINDED PERSON KNOWS THAT IN ORDER FOR A
PERSON TO PARK IN A HANDICAPPED ZONE,THEY NEED A HANDICAPP STICKER,
TAG,OR LOGO IN THE BACK,OR FRONT OF THEIR CAR.YOU JUST DONT GO AND
ASSUME.YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT SOME THAT ASSUMES.THEY SAY
THAT PERSON IS A A HOLE
I agree.
I agree.
Mrfoxx1988
man you are so right! All this could have been avoided if she didn’t park in the handicap spot! What a real man her boyfriend is! He could have drove up close, let her out, park in a legal spot and then come to meet her where ever they where. You’d be surprised at the stuff they pile on when you do stupid things. You play with matches you will get burned!
That’s exactly why the CPD will definately get BURNED, by a court of law!!! BETCHA your bottom dollar, Lol…
dumb f***s by law at 7 months all the way to birth you are considered handicap so she had evvery right to be upset i bet if it was your mother`sister`wife then it would be a problem that f****r could have killed that baby he need to be spot in the head
THE PROBLEM I GOT WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND Ms RENT IS THAT YOU GIVE
PEOPLE LIKE THESE RACIST COPS REASON THE WHOOP THERE IS CARD TO GO UP
SIDE YOUR HEAD.
Wow so she deserved to get f*****g tasered? You sound stupid!
I hope she wins the settlement from suing the city of Chicago! smh!
Why do you say that the woman had no right to have a bad day.. Haven’t you seen white people get stopped by the cops for doing worst things and then proceed to cursing out the officer who stop them and they don’t even arrest the white offender? what is the matter with your sense of equal Justice.. right now you are part of the problem.. please get a clue before you cause more damage with statemented like this.
They should have smoked some weed before returning to the car and maintained her cool. He should marry her if she is going to have a baby and not be a scum. And what about the person who needed to park in that space because of wheelchair access or something. They screwed them.
Smoking weed or getting married has nithing to do with the matter at hand and yes should have applied for a handicap sticker since she qualify as a pregnant person especially if she high risk. Stick to the matter at hand.
She does not have to apply for a permit, because it is the law that if a woman is pregnant, she is legally handicapped for at least a year.
she DOES have to apply for a sticker. The police don’t know you are handicapped by LOOKING at your car if you’re not around.
WELL IF THIS IS TRUE IN YOUR STATE,SHE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE TICKET
AND PROOF FROM THE DOCTOR THAT SHE WAS PREGNANT,INSTEAD OF ACTING
IGNANT,YELP I SAID IT,SHE WAS ACTING MORE IGNANT THAN PREGNANT.YOU SEE
THE OFFICER THOUGHT SHE WAS IGNANT INSTEAD OF PREGNANT,HE GOT
CONFUSED ABOUT HER DISABILITY.
you should drop dead.
Thus speaks the very example of what we ARE TALKING ABOUT! Most are SUPERIOR, HYPOCRITICAL and most evil people there is! Also ignorant, she is considered handicapped…but oh wait, she is African American.
Exactly! had she been a PREGNANT WHITE WOMAN, this would have not been an issue…pregnancy is disability, a temporary one but still a qualifying disability. But being black we know that any laws that come with protection does not apply to black people.
If she were white the officer would have torn up the ticket himself and been extremely solicitous and apologetic…..winking knowing at her, happy she isn’t one of ‘them’ (US)….that is the crazy society we live in…..
you need to be spot the the head then many your kids will smoke some weed
Wow, what an idiot you are. So you’re suggesting that any woman that is eight months pregnant should smoke weed to remain calm? Apparently, either your mom was smoking some serious dope when she had you or either dropped you on the head! And what the h**l does marriage have t do with anything. How do you know they’re not planning on getting married? And if two people have a child together and don’t get married, that makes both of them scum? What freaking planet are you from?
He’s from the racist planet, and trying to goad everyone. You see, many people are saying that the woman was wrong, and not simply justifying her behavior. Because Black people here are clearly not “playing the race card” as whites always say, he has to inject a vulgar racist statement to get folks:
1. Angry at his comment so we will lose our cool and not be mentally rational, as many of the commenters are in regards to this issue;
2. To sway folks from paying attention to the real issue.
White people’s biggest fear is that
We NOT be emotional and reactional but RATIONAL, CLEAR-THINKING, AND USING INTELLECT AND REASONING.
Don’t fall for the bait. Don’t be led away by their wicked words.
I saw this same thing done in another post where most of the Black people did not side with a Black woman who had been arrested. There were 91 POSTS and way more than half were strongly against the woman. So what did a racist commenter do? He made a comment about how we ALL do this particular thing that this Black woman was guilty of and that we claim that it is our tradition. WHAT?? Folks had made it VERY clear that they were against her actions, and furthermore, his comment was about number 60 in the list of comments so I know he read what people had said.
But the unity and dignity with which Black people spoke with, and the lack of anger and agression exuded was clearly a problem with the racist readers.
PLEASE!! Don’t believe the hype! They manipulate and control us through psychological means very often. Don’t fall for it! Sometimes it’s best not to respond to these people. Nothing you say is going to change their minds. Nothing you say will change their true nature.
Black people are BRILLIANT and have EXCELLENT MINDS, and HIGH INTELLIGENCE. When we think, things get done. When we create, it is with excellence.
The Haitian slaves freed themselves with carefull planning and determination. They are the only people in the world that liberated themselves from slavery. And by the way, they are in an awful condition because of an open conspiracy and resolution by France, Britain, and America in the 1800′s that they would never forgive Haiti for what she had done. Henry Louis Gates made a documentary about Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Find it and watch it!
I been at the realization that these type of injustices to BLACK people will not stop, so I don’t keep getting mad over BS I’m not going to look at or read any more articles like this..
ajweberman u r wrong. A pregnant women balance isn’t always good, they are swollen, and physically at an disadvantage. So they are disabled for a short time..
A lot of ignorant commentary on this board by blacks who do NOT educate themselves on a lot of things. So the commentary in this thread do not surprise me. However, because we live a very patriarchal society, black males especially do not understand a lot of things. They do not know, that by law, if a woman is Pregnant, she is handicapped and does not need a permit. It is apparent that the woman was targeted because she is black and the officer knew she was pregnant because she is visibly so. The officer wanted to take heat off of his actions so his partner, who noted she was pregnant ran her to the hospital. The tasing officer’s only excuse was “I didn’t know she was pregnant” and you didn’t know this and she is visibly so? He knows the law. That’s why he made the comment he did as an excuse so that he would not get in trouble for issuing a pregnant woman a ticket, regardless of permit being visible or not.
what make you think that everyone who is commenting black as you call it but anyways by law she is handicap !!!
Milford, he knows he’s wrong. as I repeat: Thus speaks the very example of what we ARE TALKING ABOUT! Most are SUPERIOR, HYPOCRITICAL and most evil people there is! Also ignorant, she is considered handicapped…but oh wait, she is African American. What does he care. He will when he gets to h**l. He is getting rather old to see the light. He thinks he is his own God.
Theirs no excuse for that …Who give him or any other officer the right to taser a woman , man b/c they tear up a ticket….Let alone a pregant woman, sue their butts off….Thats bullshyt, police has to many issues.
OMG. Was the a police officer or a criminal? Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!
Ms. Rent is somewhat handicapped…..its(for some women) hard to walk long distances…
She should have taken the ticket, in coolness and carryed on. Sometimes we must know when to and how to fight( pick your battles). Court would have been a better choice. Im surprised she didnt get a ticket for littering.
Officer did over react and may cause the department some money if he caused damage to her unborn baby. Hard to see that Ms. Rent is not pregant though…..
The scriptures teach “as thou has done so it shall be done unto you”! I say this and hear me loud and clear when it’s your turn on the other end we will give you no Mercy at all you have earned your well deserved Doom! While your enjoying the evil that you put on people you better remember Thomas Jefferson’s words ” I tremble for my country for when I reflect on God’s justice and his justice can’t sleep forever”! What did he understand then, that you don’t understand today? The scriptures teach also that “Fill you up then the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the judgment of h**l? Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.”! God condemns you and so do we!
Mr Coffer is absolutely correct. She parked illegally (your doctor can approve you for a temporary disabled permit good for up to 6 months—-for those of you who do not know. I got one when I had surgery on my back). Then you cant make wrong into a right by loosing your temper. The officer was obviously wrong in tasering her, but she had control of the situation long before she parked there and threw the control away.
And so the great white GOD of the police said unto them, “Do what ever you to Black Women with Child” or is this how they were thought by their mothers to treat a Pregnant Women of any so-called race? Where are all those White Women and the Womens Rights Organisations? Is not this great case of womens abuse? What about Powerful Black Women that can speak out and be heard? This clearcut Fascism/Police Brutality.
The white women’s oreganizations have never had a sisterhood with black women. And black organizations and black women are too concerned with gay marriage. Insane.
Aint that the truth, take Gloria Allred the white feminist attorney out in los angeles, she is only about WHITE WOMEN’S issues… WHITE PRIVILEGE and not to mention WHITE ENTITLEMENT will never allow white women to have any sisterhood with black women…NEVER!
Yeah they cop was wrong but at the end of the da, the person most responsible for that baby’s welfare is the mother. You don’t engage in confrontations at 8 months. I remember a girl in h.s ran up in somebody with a big belly, and everybody was mad at the person when he pushed her back and she almost fell, but I’m like why the h**l was she runnin up on somebody tryna fight. This is kinda like the age old question? What do you do is if a “retarded” (please excuse my political incorrect usage) attacks you? Let them whoop you just cause thier retarded or be known as the person who beat up a r****d?
She broke the law, all she had to do was take the ticket, not attack the officer as she did. What amazes me, why anyone would even want to be a police officer any more Using a Teasor was extreme. however none of this would have happend had she just excepted the ticket
Yeah. The cop didn’t know she was pregnant. The only ways to not know are to be blind or to close his eyes.
The cop in a southern state recently kicked a pregnant woman in the belly and claimed he couldn’t tell she was pregnant. She went to the hospital in labor and delivered her child before the due date. Both women are Black.
Also in Washington State, the same happened to another black woman that was pregnant, who was tazed by a cop while dropping her child off at school. This is a new attack, a way to stop BLACK POPULATION GROWTH…ATTACK PREGNANT BLACK WOMEN!
She should have taken the ticket and fight it in court…….She and her baby could have been killed or injured because of her negative behavior…..
Now that is the truth. Ignorance begets ignorance.
you are 100% correct
be careful what you do in front of the police because they are in control and if you are a black person they will kill you no matter were you live.
thomas that is sooo true and the worst part of it is we gotta double wammy the black police dont like us and the white are racist and dont hide it .
It is unfortunate that the lady tore up the ticket and was irate, however I am of a mother and I know during that last month, you’re tired and (physically handicapped.) Some have responded that she should have kept her cool, but do you have any idea what its going on hormonally to a woman while she is pregnant. It may be easier said than done to “keep your cool.” The officer should have been more understanding, and under no circumstance should he have tasseled a pregnant woman causing her and her unborn child that kind of shock and stress. Shame, shame. And congratulations to the young black man for protecting his woman and child. During slavery our black men had to stand around and watch the abuse and were powerless. Now some are standing up. It’s clear people need to obey the laws, but we also need a little humanity too.
I agree with you! I sometimes feel even if a person does the right thing in certain situations, there is still a chance that a warped evil individual may still have tendancies to harass because in this country, African Americans are still treated inhuman just for being black! This is a well known historical fact! When someone can do a study past the year 2000 about discrimination in housing, this means we still have a problem today!
Correction, (not tasseled, tasered )- my spell checker though it was helping
correction (thought) NOT though. I think I’ll quit while I’m ahead. One more thing. Smoking weed is just asinine, not only is it not good for her or the baby, but it can impair her judgement even more. In closing all law enforcement are not bad and all pregnant women are not angels. But each should be respected and under no circumstances should the innocent unborn baby be victimized by the adults actions.
Folk we have been under attack since we got here! The smallest infraction and we are pounced on. What just had yhe woman arrested for cheering at her daugthers graduation, are you serious!I see blacks parroting white America’s feeling in the comments of these internet stories. It is ridiculous and intolerable. They don’t want to employ us and when we are underemployed. Time for us to wake and act instead of reacting!
Their real true plan is to IMPRISON ALL OF US, they do not want us to have an education, they don’t want to employ us, they don’t want us to have housing, they don’t want us to vote, they don’t want us to BREATHE! AND THEY STILL DON’T WANT US TO KNOW HOW TO READ OR WRITE… Why do you think they are attacking all of these BLACK STUDENTS THAT ARE GRADUATING? The white elite can NEVER be trusted!
I don’t care WHAT the circumstance. It was not warrantwed to taser her, but I wonder about her behavior too; tearing up a ticket and THROWING it at the officer? Are you crazy? Your hormones are not going that wild. Some ppl use an excuse for anything, she was just acting actly. She knew better.
I hope that her baby is OK and that no damage came to her and the baby. Even if she did tear the ticket up, she should have been arrested and tasered. Did the officer realized that he could have killed her baby or caused some very serious mental and neurogocial damage to the baby. I hope the couple do sue the police officer and the department for allowing themselves to have an unsensitive person out on the s treet with a weapon.
I totally agree with this statement the boyfriend could well have parked somewhere where it was legal to park but the cop was a dog he could see this woman was pregnant.He thought lets get rid of this one before it gets here and there will be one less one to worry about.But all whites are not like that and that even goes for cops.My husband has a really good friend that has helped us out of tickets after they were given to us.
THIS GOT TO BE A WHITE POLICE…ATTACKING BLACKS…..
Of course…who else?
Will this bring back O.C.U.
So Sad and I pray that the mom and baby is OK.
THE CORROSIVE CAUSE AND EFFECT OF INGRAINED RACISM IN AMERICA
I apologize for the length of this article, but it is necessary to educate folks and help the spread the word of truth that racists hate to be known. I say let it be known; tell the truth and shame the devil!
Bear with me. I want to speak to the foundation of ingrained racism and prejudice in America but in a manner that will clarify the smoke-and-mirror myth that Blacks in America hate Whites without reason or rationale. In order to objectively and dispassionately examine the circumstances which govern the co-existence of Caucasian-Americans and the rest of the population in general, and African-Americans in particular, we must look at events which occur on a daily basis which fuel the peaceful, or conversely. vitriolic and hate-filled, nature of the debate which has degenerated into a mutual surface-evaluated, mindless, suspicious and deteriorating relationship which can only get worse because the status quo, the way things are right now, benefits the continued cementing, in society, of the superiority of Caucasians, simultaneously ripping the social fabric of the existence of minorities. It is sad that so much efforts and energy is wasted, by this oppressive and selfish percentage of our society, trying to prevent meaningful discussion about ways to eliminate racism in American society.
Recently a pilot, MIchael B. Ferraro, accused of buzzing cars by drunkenly flying low over state Highway 37 was recently sentenced to four days in jail and a fine. CHP officials said the pilot was flying as low as 50 feet above the highway traffic on the ground, (the legal limit is 500 feet). The plane’s tail number was traced to a Penngrove man who the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office charged with four misdemeanor counts: flying under the influence, flying with a blood-alcohol level greater than 0.04 percent — the level considered intoxicated while flying — operating an aircraft in a reckless manner, and operating or maintaining an aircraft under the influence. The penalty for flying under the influence is 30 days to six months in jail and a fine of up to $250, according to the California Public Utilities Code that applies to aviation offenses. The real question is, ‘isn’t this terrorism’. Maybe it’s just me but when a person attempts to crash into cars with a plane. whether he is high and drunk to not, endangering the lives of hundreds on the road and is given a four-day sentence, something is seriously wrong and skewered in our justice system. But then who can afford private planes in this society, right? It makes you take a second, harder look at how the laws are written in America.
If you want to briefly examine the behavior of people who claim so vehemently not to be racist, (which in itself is a tacit admittance of guilt),or those who claim racism is a figment of my imagination in America, let’s start by looking at the premise that ‘African-Americans are holding onto a notion which died out during the slave days’. The saddest aspect of American history is not only that people who respond with indignation to stories regarding racial profiling and exploitation in America do so uninformed, but that the same people who scream that we should all let 150 year old sleeping dogs lie, never stop attempting to distort history!
The Jewish Holocaust claimed the lives of 6 million Jews by comparison but the memory of that genocide is treated with a reverence unmatched on earth. In comparison the American Slave Trade was the worst genocide in the history of the world with approximately 50 million Black slaves killed in the process of forcible transportation, forced labor and the separation of tens of thousands of families; millions more died to provide the labor required to resurrect and turn America into one of the richest countries in the world from cotton and tobacco production, after which they decided the next logical step in their perpetual consolidation of power in the new lands, was to make the Black Diaspora a race everyone would despise and be afraid of. All along the n**i-like historical path of American Caucasian development, corpses litter the way courtesy of the 1646 Law which made religious heresy punishable by death, the 1662 Law which recognized slavery as a hereditary and lifelong condition, the 1696 Law which excused any white person who killed a slave while carrying out a punishment, Virginia’s 1705 Law which explicitly defined all blacks, mixed or otherwise as slaves forever, the 1756 Scalp Act in which Governor Robert Norris put a perpetual bounty on the scalps of Indian women and children, the 1790 Law which allowed citizenship for whites only, the 1857 Dred Scott Decision which proclaimed that Black people had no rights a white person was bound to respect and would never be citizens of the United States, the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the 1863 Miscegenation Law which forbade intermarriage and interracial s*x between whites and other races, the 1881 Chinese Exclusion Law and the literally millions of lesser known racially-based laws in towns, municipalities, corporations and neighborhoods all across America, which historically has decided who gets to be elected into what positions of power; the inequality in how and where resources end up being allocated have been a testament to the culture of prejudice and inequality for which America, unfortunately, is most known.
Even worse, descendants of these early Neanderthal Caucasians have been inculcated with the feigned validity of these laws, and though most of them have long been repealed, they still act as if they believe these laws to hold true. Even while Thomas Jefferson was penning hateful and vitriolic words in ‘Notes on the State of Virginia’ about the inferiority of Blacks as an excuse why they would never be assimilated into American society, he was lost in the throes of passion, in bed, by one of these so-called savages, Sally Hemmings. Ironically, in the twilight of his years, he only allowed his trusted butler, a slave named Burwell, unrestricted access to his person. If you read “The Black image in the White Mind: Media and Race in America”, by Robert Entman and Andrew Rojecki and you will come away with a deeper understanding of the sinister progression of hatred for Blacks that American Caucasians have cultivated since persons, other than the Native Americans, have settled in this land. “Without Sanctuary”, by James Allen [Twins Palms Publisher] is another excellent book. Thousands were killed after the U.S. annexed Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii in 1898 all in the name of ‘Manifest Destiny’. The forcible extraction of labor, be it from African slaves, Latinos, Native Americans or Asians [Chinese in the Gold Rush of the 1800’s on Americas transatlantic railroads] is almost always followed [after whatever mineral deposits these racist oppressors are after -gold, oil, silver, timber, human labor, coal, rubber, name it- have been depleted] by the forcible removal of said ‘helpful’ minority populations, it happened to over 400,000 Latinos in the 1930’s and again now in Arizona; it happened in 1838 on the ‘trail of tears’ when thousands of Native American Cherokees died while being forcibly removed from their native lands to Oklahoma after the United States Army declared all Indian lands as U.S. property, thousands of Indians were killed in an effort to eliminate them through genocide; [a fortune was later amassed by the great-great grandfather of John McCain’s wife, forcing the supply of rotgut cheap whiskey to the Native-Americans in order to further weaken all resistance; this was later parlayed into the Anheiser-Busch beer empire of which she is heiress today…you just gotta know where the bodies are buried and in what closets the skeletons reside. It has happened traditionally wherever the American Caucasian presence has reared it’s ugly head. Go to the much respected "http://www.soulofjustice.org", a documentary recounting the journey of one of the first African-American federal judges [Thelton Henderson] in a largely racist justice system and you’ll be horrified at accounts of truth. Cultivation Theory which explains a large portion of why and how perception is formed by the media attempts to disseminate the apparent ignorance and gullibility of the average American [white] citizen.
I wonder what backroom deals were made to relax the former FCC Telecommunication Act of 1996, which had previously limited the private ownership of radio stations to 36 stations, so that heavily pro-Republican, pro-racist companies such as Clear Channel [with executives such as Tom Hicks and Lowry Mays], in a blatant attempt to corner and control the airwaves, could own 1300 radio stations by 2008. What is the real agenda here? You have to know where the bodies are buried and when and why these backroom deals are made, as well as for whose benefit. Check the numerous financial deals between George Bush and Tom Hicks and how many millions of dollars exchanged hands in deals involving the Texas Rangers and UTIMCO- [UT Investment Management Company]. While the degenerative stench of the racial profiling decay which has gripped America continues, the real game is being played out in the acquisition of Middle East and African fields of oil, mineral rich territories of gold and diamonds in South Africa and Sierra Leone as well as the mind-boggling accumulation of weapons of mass destruction and the rape of those places by insidious elements is invariably followed with false pleas for ‘conservation’ of these regions resources. When presented with the best opportunity to capture Osama Bin Laden, President George W. Bush elected to allow almost 50 members of his immediate family who perhaps had Bin Ladens’ phone number on speed dial escape, escorted, out of Boston Airport, perhaps, as some have maintained because he really did not want the younger brother of Omar Bin Laden [President Bush’s business partner] to expose his shady business transactions. President Obama, by comparison, has delivered time and again, eventually directing the operation which led to the death of this terrorist, but is derided and despised by the ruling Caucasian class. Shame on you America! Slaves and their descendants have paid their dues in blood, sweat and tears to this malicious and ungrateful society. We are just the same as everyone else. We bleed red and encompass the best and worst of humanity, just like every other race. We refuse to be labeled as the monsters you have incessantly tried to convince the rest of the country and world that we are. So to those out there with little knowledge about the history their kind have so carefully have attempted to ignore or cover up….wake up and smell the coffee! Your incessant use of the N-word cannot and will not diminish my intelligence or your relative stupidity!! Why fix something that ain’t broke, is the attitude of most Caucasians who, understandably, are eager to take advantage of a situation which ensures that every aspect of American society is geared towards boosting their upward mobility at the expense of the progress of minorities, in fact it is in their best interests to keep promoting and propagating the myths and fallacy of the angry, dangerous, criminal Black man.
A ‘respected’ Nobel Prize winner for his work with transistors, William Shockley, came up with the idea of a ‘sperm bank’, not inclusive of the progeny of Blacks who, he suggested, should be sterilized and compensated with incentives of transistor radios. In other words, bribe Blacks with radios so that you could sterilize them so Blacks would not be able to produce children anymore. Even the great Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Oh, how difficult it is to actually see Black people”. Josephine Baker once said, “The idea of America gives me nightmares”. Every civilization associated with American Caucasians and ‘democracy’ lies on the backs of the labor of indigenous peoples and is predicated on the premise that Blacks have no future. Well, with the emergence of President Barack Obama, arguably the most intelligent President in the history of the United States of America, it is obvious that racists nationwide are in full panic mode and will stop at nothing to aggravate an already precarious situation. Imperialists have at them….have no fear; here we are so ignorant we can’t tell where anywhere is, let alone what’s really happening in those countries. Check your history (not the regurgitated version either)…in Panama, Cuba, Balkans, Venezuela, Congo, Argentina, South Africa, Middle East, Afghanistan, Slovenia, Russia, Nicaragua, Libya, Liberia, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Japan, Peru, Taiwan, Philippines amongst forty score countries and more; where does it all end? When are we going to stop the b****y and deadly manipulation of countries in order to assimilate their wealth into the American economy?
In 1985, as a young congressman, d**k Cheney voted to support the racism Apartheid regime in South Africa. He went as far as to vote against a House resolution urging the release of Nelson Mandela from 25 years of imprisonment for his political beliefs. Years later, following a pattern that we have been used to seeing over the course of history [of course after hundreds of thousands of metric tons of diamonds and gold worth billions and billions of dollars had been excavated by American companies], after the near depletion of the country’s natural resources, pressed by international journalists Cheney claimed the whole thing was, quote, “a trivial matter”. This is the mentality of racists. Please don’t tell me that the average Caucasian-American is not a racist. It is inbred, taught behavior. The very nature of their upbringing and what they learn from their parents, grandparents and peers dictates that hatred of people different in skin color from them is ingrained in their nature. In a way, I feel sorry for them because they are too ignorant to see a better way out and when they do, they refuse to consider it. Learn from the British whom you revere so much. They finally came to the conclusion that the advancement of the Queen’s empire was near impossible without the assimilation of Blacks into their society. Hypocritically, America supplied the chemical weapons and mustard gas to Saddam Hussein that he eventually used against the Kurds when there was a possibility that he would be an ally and use those weapons against Iran. When he stopped being that ally and used it against his enemies in Kuwait, we pounced and accused him of possession of chemical weapons, a charge which eventually led to false charges of possession of nuclear weapons and an ill-fated invasion which cost America dearly.
The Rockefeller Foundation introduced Eugenics which was the study of ways to separate blood types which were considered impure in an effort to segregate Blacks further. One of their headquarters was in Berlin where Rommel and Hitler focused on these studies to separate and eventually annihilate the Jews; indirectly America was responsible for the events which led up to the massacre of six million Jews in Germany. Don’t tell me Caucasians aren’t racists! While we were bemoaning and lamenting the evil nature of the third Reich and battling Adolf Hitler, the United States of America were actually doing business with him behind closed doors, supplying IBM computers that enabled him to track, locate and eventually exterminate six million Jews, a fact that made us label him a monster. Without these IBM machines, it would have been near impossible for him to commit these atrocities. This is the true face of American politics, business and prejudice. These are the ‘sleeping dogs’ that American Caucasians wish that people would stop talking about, stop pointing out; these are the behavioral traits, inherited from hate-infused progenitors and passed on to subsequent descendants, that they invest so much in keeping hidden.
The more we expose this kind of behavior, the less power they have over us, over society…and they hate it. From the slave trade days to the blood diamonds of Sierra Leone, from murdering Patrick Lumumba and Steve Biko to siphoning the diamonds and gold out of South Africa while we made sure Nelson Mandela languished in jail, from the Iran Contra affair to arming (then betraying) Saddam Hussein, from ordering the massacre of the native American population on the Trail of Tears to turning the economy of Mexico into a vast wasteland, from the Bay of Pigs in Cuba to the support of the murderous regimes that have made the Middle East a perpetual war zone, from the fictional so-called ‘liberation’ of a half-dozen mineral/oil-rich countries to the manipulation of the mass media back home which produces the kind of ignorant hate-filled comments which grace web pages every single day, from the staged suicide [assassination] of Allende in Chile to the hundred or so attempts on Fidel Castros life in Cuba, from arming both sides of three dozen wars the world over every other year, to the decimation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, from American scientists deliberately infecting Guatemalans and their own patients, soldiers and prisoners in Tuskegee, Alabama with syphilis, the list is unbelievably endless, the horrors mind-numbing. Don’t ever tell me that Caucasian-Americans aren’t racists!
For you die-hard racists out there, at least learn the details of your history before spouting your vitriol-filled, hate-mongering, ignorance-promoting falsehoods which only serve to further the divisions which characterize this nation. This is a rare response to frequent, ignorant and hateful comments deriding Blacks and other minorities so pay attention!!! The media is manipulated to incessantly portray minorities as criminals while the child molesters, disgruntled anti-government elements, mass murderers and corporate raiders are visibly and mainly not minorities. Observe your own history and check the race of people here who, at the drop of a hat, go to work and eviscerate dozens of their colleagues, the race of those who turn your college campuses into war zones, the race of people who mass-murder and then cannibalize their victims, the race of those here that kidnap, molest and rape children [look up ex-Red Sox Manager Donald Fitzpatrick’s 20 year history of child molestation as well as Penn State Coach Jerry Sandusky’s extensive history of raping little boys], the race of those here who have bombed large places of business such as the Oklahoma Federal Building [look up Timothy McVeigh and the more recent ‘Covert Group’ in Georgia], the J.T. Flagg’s in your midst, the race of people who maintain brainless, pointless but heavily armed militias, the race of people who decimate the middle class by draining the finances of the masses of citizens in pyramid Ponzi schemes, rendering the lives and futures of their victims seemingly hopeless; however these are all mostly swept under the carpet.
These are the real monsters in our midst; the ones we should truly be afraid of, and guess what surprise, surprise, they are not Black, they are not Mexican, they are not Chinese and they are not “illegals”. They are always Caucasian Americans. Thus it is not a coincidence, nor does it come as a shock, that the worst atrocities committed in the history of this country have been inflicted by Caucasian Americans; you do the math. The truth is the list is endless but all is forgiven as long as you are white and are willing to serve a little probation or community service after repeated offenses. Let’s just shine the beacon of hatred on these other black people who hold up a mom and pop liquor store [not that this is any better] because we don’t like their accents or dreadlocks. Let’s paint minorities as monsters for a few DUI’s because Caucasians are terrified of the myth of African s****l domination. Let’s make the Mexicans totally responsible for all the crime in America and terrify our citizens into believing that crime in America exists because of porous border controls. Fear is the currency with which the population is dominated and subjugated to racist policies. Our own monstrosities outweigh, if not dwarfs the worst of Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. Have at it imperialists, have at it NSA, CIA and other spooks. Don’t worry; we are too ignorant in the homeland heartland to notice…or care. We are too busy drinking the kool-aide of hate you generously bestow through your disinformation and propaganda.
East Germany issued a stamp in honor of the late great actor Paul Robeson after he was denied a passport by the United States government in 1950 for ‘frequently airing criticisms of the treatment of Blacks in America’. Don’t tell me that Caucasian-Americans aren’t racists! You gotta love this ‘democratic’ country of ours…federal sentencing guidelines allows judges to indiscriminately discriminate against offenders in drug cases based on thier ‘discretion’ or alternatively, the race of the defendant in question. Recently, Caucasian Artist Tom Otterness was awarded a $370,000 contract by the S.F. Arts Commision even after it came to light that he had shot a dog years ago in cold blood, as part of an ‘art project’…Ha! Isn’t that why Michael Vick was thrown into federal prison for several years? There are an average of a hundred thousand, (yes, 100,000) comparative cases which have discrimination and prejudice written all over them which are covered up each and every day in this great nation of ours, you just have to know where to look. Like the Rev. Jeremy Wright once famously said, “…not God bless America, God d**n America!!!” All you have to do to see the true face of racism in America is examine the recent developments in our military. The U.S. military comprises of hundreds of thousands of the bravest and exemplary members of the human race who are drawn from every race on the face of the earth, Hispanic, African, Caucasian, Asian, Samoan, et cetera. From the despicable act of the burning of the Koran in Afghanistan, the bewildering urinating on the bodies of dead soldiers by a select group of soldiers, the posing with the n**i flag, the crashing of an Apache helicopter valued at ten million dollars while showboating, the massacre of seventeen innocent civilians, the rape off schoolgirls in Okinawa and the murder of some of their fellow soldiers, these dastardly incidents have only one common factor….the perpetrators were all Caucasian-Americans. Is this just a coincidence?
And then you have the strange story of poor ex-Green Bay Packer Johnny Jolly whose only real crime is being black; he was just sentenced to 6 years in jail for possession of codeine…haha…America, are you serious..codeine, really? Can anyone say Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan or Jenna Bush? Oh, I’m sorry, they’re all white…..Johnny Jolly is getting 6 years which is what the so-called ‘hero’ and ‘Robin Hood’ of Washington, Colton Harris Moore got for robbing over a hundred houses, stealing several planes, cars and boats, shooting at people and being on the FBI’s most wanted list for years (yeah, right). It took the backward ill-equipped police force of the black nation of the Bahamas to arrest him. Yet 20th Century Fox has already negotiated with the ‘charismatic barefoot bandit’ to the tune of $1.3 million to tell his ‘heroic’ tale once he gets out of jail. Yeah, I guess Johnny Jolly codeine self abuse is just as heinous, right? We need not even inquire into the race of persons involved in these kind of cases every day. If they are granted basic human rights, their identities not released or the charges dropped, reduced to a mere pittance such as probation or dismissal, we have our answer. If their faces are shown every five minutes on every station in the nation, if they have no right to the presumption of innocence before being judged guilty, if they are used to inflame passions of fear we immediately know they are minorities. Welcome to America.
The land which has succeeded in institutionalizing racism…congratulations!!! 19 year old Sonoma State University student, Kaitlyn Dunaway was just sentenced to 5 DAYS (!) in jail after she plead guilty to vehicular manslaughter for killing a two year old girl while texting and driving. The girl she killed was part Chinese. I leave you to guess the race of Ms. Dunaway. We are all witness to the recent gruesome ‘alleged’ rapes of young boys by the former Penn State defensive coach. Can anyone say probation? In 2009 Rush Limbaugh, arrested after being in possession of over two thousand painkillers several times more powerful and prohibited than codeine, which more than four doctors had procured for him over a mere six month period, had all charges dropped if he continued a drug treatment program. He seems to have been rewarded by being allowed to run for the highest office in the land. While white celebrities like Linsday Lohan, Paris Hilton, amass an enviable repeat offender reputation for drug possession, among other serious offences, they routinely serve a day or so in jail…and come out as ‘heroes’.
I have friends of all races and I want to emphasize that it is not personal or the fault of my Caucasian brethren that the system is set in this fashion If the shoe were on the other foot, I daresay it would be tempting to take advantage of it too….just kidding; I just like to point out elephant-in-the-room facts that other people wish would stay buried. See you in the funny pages where racism tries to hide behind a wall of giggles. I started out by posting a list of thousands of murdered African-Americans at the hands of racist law enforcement officers in America as a tribute to the memory of Kenneth Chamberlain Snr., Trayvon Martin and thousands of other innocent African-American young men and women, before I thought, what the h**l man..? What difference is it going to make to the family of yet another massacred Black man in America? The truth of the matter is that since America was conceived, there has always been a tacit insertion into the psyche of the Caucasian-American that the decimation of the Black race is a necessity for their survival.
America has gradually segued from the days of the slavery and lynchings to mealy-mouthed two-facedness and legal executions…the land of the free and the home of the brave? What a joke, more like the land of the shackled and the home of the cowardly.
Have you ever noticed how the average Caucasian-American, which is, generally speaking, your average racist, cannot even bring themselves to look you in the eye except when in the planning stages of something dastardly; then it is with a knowingly evil smirk of satisfaction that they are eager to lure you into a false sense of acceptance before dealing you an underhanded blow? The cowardly sense of getting digs in, in a futile attempt to take a stand against progressive equality….
This will NEVER go away….it’s called racism!!!!! It took former Speaker of the house Mineta (Japanese origin) from 1945 to 1988 to gain reparations and a national public apology from Reagan for the humiliations and incarcerations of Japanese-Americans during the post-Pearl Harbor attacks. It took him a scant 43 years to achieve for his people what we have failed as a a people to achieve in over 200 years of enduring atrocities so inhumane that if this were a foreign dictator treating his own people like this, using state apparatus to murder them in cold blood, we would have rushed in with planes and bombs before whisking the dictator off to the Court in the Hague. (By the way why is there a huge disproportionate rate of convictions of Africans in the Court of the Hague which is controlled by the U.S.?) Ironically, if you check Wikipedia and a score of other sites there is no mention of Mineta and his tireless efforts and contributions to make this come about. This is the real face of racist America. I want everybody who reads this…every human being of African descent who reads this to THINK and retweet, resend, re-email and forward this next paragraph, if not this article to everybody they know as a wake-up call to draw attention to the urgency of this situation; AMERICA IS THE WORST RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!
The number of the victims of World War 1, World War 2, Adolf Hitler in n**i Germany, Joseph Stalin’s Russia, Libya’s Muoamar Ghaddafi, Syria’s Bashir, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, Joseph Kony (KONY 2012), The South American drug cartels, The impasse in the Middle East, Death Squads in Latin America, The Blood Diamond Wars, The Mau-Mau Wars in Kenya, The Apartheid Regime in South Africa, Executions in China, The Famine in Africa, The Civil War of Lebanon, The Vietnam War as well as EVERY war America has ever been involved COMBINED….IS DWARFED BY THE NUMBER OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAT HAVE BEEN MURDERED BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
During the slave trade alone, upwards of 20 million people died in the demented quest to forcibly transport Africans to America for forced labor so that America could be the wealthy and powerful nation it is today…..and this is a conservative estimate. If one is to believe the writings of notable scholars such as the late Dr. John Henrik Clarke, this number is easily closer to 50 million! (And this was before the lynchings of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries or the state-sponsored genocide since then).
We are locked in a war with the racist power structure of our own country, let’s face it. Until the power structure changes, until we have a preponderance of elected leaders that can change the mindset of brainwashed ordinary Americans who have bought into the notion that Black America is the most dangerous thing to happen to this nation instead of the converse, until the killings and disrespect in our own communities and among our own people are replaced by education and a progressive light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel possibility, NOTHING will change.
My great-grandchildren in the year 3012 will be writing similar essays and making the same pleas to a generation of further disillusioned youth…and the beat goes on while a certain broad Caucasian section of the national populace will continue to jump from twentieth story windows because they lost a few million dollars in the stock market, their priests continue to molest little boys, kidnap, rape and kill little children, get slaps on the wrists for the most atrocious offenses, their crimes will continue to be excused and swept under the carpet under the guise of stress or ‘mental breakdowns’, continue to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the poor and the Middle Class and be bailed out by the government, continue to be the dregs of the same society they currently dominate while making divisive, discretionary sentencing guidelines and racist, marginal laws that make it a crime to be a member of a minority race in the land of the shackled and the home of the cowardly. As the great Mutabaruka said in one of his immortal poems, “This poem will not stop even though you want this poem to stop, you will be disappointed by this poem because this poem is to be continued in your mind”. An example of what can be done to combat this disease is highlighted by the reality of the Trayvon Martin murder because racists will never respond to rhetoric; as Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III astutely pointed out, the only language (racists) they understand is dollars and cents; we have to fight fire with fire and hit them where it hurts.
“According to a 2002 report by the University of South Florida, “tourism is the most important factor driving Florida’s economy…The money visitors spend amounts to over $40 billion dollars each year, tourism is the state’s greatest source of income.” It is estimated that in 2013 the number of travelers is estimated to have increased by 31% as compared to 2002. A call for tourists to boycott Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, the MGM Movie Studio center, the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Florida Marlin’s, and other FL destinations could help to create or contribute to a momentum of change and social justice in this country.” This is just the tip of the iceberg, the way to effect social change in a way that will eventually force racists to look inward and make the hard decisions- is it worth it to be stupid and lose business, which translates into billions of dollars? This is lesson that England learned a long time ago.
I will now go to work and be marginalized, discriminated against, called the ‘N’-word behind my back (and sometimes to my face) and have little recourse to address it, I will get in my car and be stopped by the Highway Patrol because they don’t believe someone of my color should be driving a nice car, I will be asked to ‘stop resisting’ as I stand there motionless, I will be beaten because they feel alarmed as my arms hang motionless by my side, because they claim my hands were ‘dangerously by my waistband’, I will go to the supermarket where the white check out girl will drop the change into my hands from a height of two feet because she is afraid of touching my hands, I will speak to white people who will pretend they can’t understand my English despite the face that I have a better command of their own language than they themselves, I will be scorned and derided, with thinly-veiled jealousy, for my ability to speak four languages fluently, I will walk on the sidewalk and watch several white folks crossing the street rather than pass by my side on the sidewalk, I will watch the news and see thousands of Caucasian criminals be given slaps on the wrist with justifications and platitudes that claim they were under stress as an excuse why they committed the crimes for which Blacks and Hispanics receive decades worth of prison sentences for the same offenses, I will then have to read crazy and stupid posts by bird-brained racists that demand from me that I forget about the past and stop moaning and complaining, in an weak attempt to convince me that racism doesn’t exist in the United States of America. BULLSHIT. You can call me whatever name your moronic empty pinhead devises, you can conspire to prevent me from getting that cherished promotion, you can devise new and improved strategies so that I can’t maintain a decent mortgage or you can even regress back to the days of ‘separate but equal’….but I guarantee you, you can’t break my spirit or diminish my intelligence…..and THIS disturbs you. Carry on…. Aluta Continua My name is Tokunboh Ayoe and I approve this message of truth
P.S. These are the lyrics to my favorite song of all time. It’s a time-honored rap classic by RassCass, and because of it he was nearly totally blackballed out of the music industry. Here are the lyrics to the song certain segments of our society are afraid of:
‘Nature of The Threat’ by RassCass
Let freedom ring with a buckshot, but not just yet First we need to truly understand the nature of the threat And a pale man walks in the threshold of darkness Roughly 20,000 years ago the first humans evolved with the phenotypical trait, genetic recessive Blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man, Africans So the mutants traveled North of the equator Called Europeans later, the first race haters So here’s the Devil’s alpha to the beta Cause history’s best qualified to teach one Quoting German philosopher Schopenhauer “Every white man is a faded or a bleached one” Migration created further mutation Genetic drifts, evolution through recombination Adaptation to the climate As the Caucus Mountain man reverted to that of a primate Savage Neanderthals, until the late Paleolithic age That’s when the Black Grimaldi man came With the symbol of the dragon, fire and art Check cave paintings in France and Spain to the Venus of Willendorf Around 2000 B.C. Southern Russians migrate in small units Those who travel West populated Europe Those who went East settled in Iran, known as Aryans 1500 B.C. some crossed the Khyber Pass into India and created Hinduism, the first caste system, the origins of racism A white dot on the forehead meant elite The black dot – defeat; untrustable, untouchables They wrote the holy Vedas in Sanskrit That’s the language that created Greek, German, Latin and English Now the Minoans around 2000 B.C. Starts on the island of Crete, in the Agean Sea The Greek culture begins Western Civilization But “Western Civilization” means “White Domination” Myceneans learned from Kemet, called Egypt in Greek It existed since at least 3000 B.C. Creatin geometry and astronomy This knowledge influenced Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates Cause Imhotep, the real real father of medicine Was worshiped in Greece and Rome in the form of a Black African The word Africa comes from the Greek “Aphrike” meaning “without cold”; the word philosophy means “love of knowledge” Stole from first man, Greek power expands The first Greek fraternities band The word gymnasium is Greek for “naked” This was the place where adolescent boys were educated, and molested This was accepted because Greek culture was homosexual For example, Sappho trained girls on the island of Lesbos Hence, the word lesbian (Ay let these dumb m***********s know) December 25th, the birth of Saturn A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern December 25, now thought the birth of Christ Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk, f****d each other then beat their wife Fact is, it was still practiced, til they called it Christmas So put a gerbil on your Christmas list The Hellenistic Era, Alexander the Great Conquers all the way to India leavin four successor states By the Fifth century B.C., R.O.M.E. succeeds to be the conqueror of Egypt and Greece But had the threat of the Black Phoenicians in Sicily The Punic Wars began 264 B.C. The Black general Hannibal and Carthaginian Peace In 146 B.C. Carthage fell after a six-month siege Rome sold every citizen to slavery The first genocide of history And more bisexuality in sight; Julius Caesar was known as “every woman’s husband and every man’s wife” (BEOTCH!) Spartacus Revolt, a slave rebellion that lost Where 6,000 slaves was nailed on a cross Cross? Aw, s**t! Jesus Christ! Time for some-act-right Christians get your facts right Cause Christ was not his name That’s Greek for “One who is anointed” Yahshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this? So who do you praise, do you know his name? Or do you do this in vain? Accepting the religion they gave slaves to behave Peep the description of historian Josephus “Short, dark, with an underdeveloped beard was Jesus” He had the Romans fearing revolution The solution was to take him to court and falsely accuse him After being murdered by Pilate how can it be these same white Romans established Christianity Constantine would later see the cross in a dream In his vision, it read “En Hawk Signo Wonka”: “In this sign we conquer” – Manifest Destiny In 325 he convened the Nicean Creed And separated god into three Decided Jesus was born on December 25th and raised then on the third day is a myth Plus to deceive us Commissioned Michelangelo to paint white pictures of Jesus He used his aunt, uncle, and nephew Subconsciously that affects you It makes you put white people closer to God (Yo, ‘The Man’ got game like a m**********r!) True indeed, f**k it, Jihad In the eight century Muslims conquered Spain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 years They never mention this in history class cause old faiths are threatened when you get the real lesson Moors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European Christians Meaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ On November 25th, 1491 Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be A day of “Thanksgiving” for all European Christians .. Now listen, when you celebrate “Thanksgiving” What you are actually celebratin is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome Who later, in league with Queen Isabella sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity These Moors, these black men and women were from Baghdad, Turkey And today, you eat the turkey, for your “Thanksgiving” day as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers Now fight the power, you b***h-a*s n****z! Now around this time, Whites started callings us Negroes That’s Spanish for black object meaning we’re not really people but property, and the triangle trade begins – they seize us Queen Elizabeth sends the first slaves on a ship named Jesus Stealin land from the indigenous natives Gave them alcohol to keep the Red Man intoxicated Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals But up until 1848 there’s documented cases of whites bein the savage cannibals, eatin Indians In 1992, it’s Jeffery Dahmer They slaughtered a whole race with guns Drugs, priests and nuns 1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst passed out clothin and blankets to the Indian community Infested with small pox, knowin they had no immunity Today it’s AIDS, you best believe it’s man made Cause ain’t a d**n thing changed.. let me explain Now since people of color are genetically dominant and Caucasoids are genetically recessive and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then they simply must, take precautions That’s why they’re worried about their future now Cuz by 2050, almost all the Earth’s population will be brown, then black, so understandin that, whites counterreact (I’m sayin.. man.. them fools ain’t nothin but a teaspoon of milk in the world color majority) So they created a system to force blacks into an unnatural position That re-enforces the position of natural inferiority In addition, created guns and developed the ethnocentric view that God justifies every f****n thing they do Condition people to perceive whites’ culture as civilized and every other culture considered primitive – not true! Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites in every areas of human relation Entertainment, education, labor, politics Law, religion, s*x, war and economics See blacks were 3/5ths of a man with tax purposes intended You think you’re Afro-American? You’re a 14th amendment and a good n***a Jews don’t salute the f****n swastika but n****z pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya They never teach about the break of islands like Jamaica But before slaves came here whites would take a pregnant women, hang her from a tree by her toes Slice her stomach with a knife and let the unborn baby fall to the flo’ And stop an unborn child in front of all the slaves to inbreed fear, so they’d be scared and behave and not rebel more Understand all whites must be perceived as potential predators I paraphrase historian Ishakamusa Barashango “Understand that regardless of the lofty ideas ingraved on paper in such documents as the Constitution or Declaration the basic nature.. of the European American white man remains virtually unchanged”.. so check…..This is the nature of the threat!
Baby, thank you as always for your comment above and this one. Keep posting. People are reading it, I’m sure.
Stay strong, and stay connected to Love. You know, an element of Love is Justice. In the Bible, God says, “Justice is my name.” God has many times pronounced judgment on nations people that have persecuted His people. Egypt’s reign ended. Rome’s empire ended. The Byzintine empire, ended. The British empire, an memory. “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Another quote from the Bible. “The hope of the poor will not always be deferred.”
The racists believe that because they are able to kill people that it makes them all-powerful. But the truth of the matter is that they KNOW that God exists! And they know that He will bring His justice upon them for all the wickedness they have done! They chose not to walk with Him because their ways are evil. But they KNOW that they are LONGGGG overdue for SERIOUS retribution for all of their evil they have done to people of color, mainly Black people.
Can you imagine what it would be like if you brutalized people for centuries, denied them access to the basic necessities of life, persecuted them, killed their fathers and their children, and taught your children for generations to hate them and do the same as well, and then you have to walk among these SAME people that you brutalized every day?
And then imagine the terror when you see that your worst fears are coming to pass– that these victimized people are waking out of their sleep you put them in, the sleep that allowed you to do this evil to them for generations without retaliation, the sleep that kept them punishing each other instead of you? That these people are standing up with their heads looking up instead of crawling with their heads down in shame before you? Imagine that they no longer believe the lies of their inferiority any more? What can a man do when the elephant he has been trained to obey him will no longer obey? What can the man do when this elephant goes against all he was taught and trained to do and breaks free to gain his freedom? Nothing; the elephant can kill the man many times over and trample a whole city.
But ahhh, thus the “stand your ground” gun laws. All the man can do against the elephant is shoot it with a gun, because the elephant is much too powerful for the man to defeat one on one. So you see the recent EXTRA show of force and gun violence against Black people by civilians and police alike. Thus the many movies whose main storyline always focuses on US military might against aliens from other planets. They want everyone to believe in their “invincibility” and “superiority.”
Everyone is fed up with this violence and murder. Not just you, brother.
They always knew this day would come. I’m sure in high places, they have their diviners who fortold of this. But it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that this madness could not last forever.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.” That is what God said when He walked the earth.
First you must look at what brought on the tasering. Rent was wrong for parking in the Handicap Space without a permit although she was pregnant. Next she was wrong for tearing up the ticket and throwing it at the officer. Now considering the fact that she was pregnant didn’t call for the action that cause her to get tase. She probably use some file language that went along with the ticket tearing up. So if you don’t obey the law what can you expect if you are doing things contary to the law. Rent should have accept the ticket and faught it in court, that’s what a civil mined person would do.
Mrfox1988, you’re absolutely right. If you park illegally you get a ticket. Throwing it in a cops face is an act of aggression to which cops are trained to respond to. Whether one is intelligent enough to realize the double standard of treatment of blacks vs whites in this country is inconsequential when you should try to be smart about things in the first place! Forget the pregnant part. Will a cop overlook a ticket if you throw it in his face? No! Does handicapped parking include pregnant women? No! Just saying, doing bad things doesn’t help with credibility issues when stuff hits the fan.
DUHHHHHH WHEN ARE AS A PEOPLE START SHOOTING THESE f*****g PIGS?
Blah blah blah…..the usual “racist police” c**p from all the black people…
They just Dumb as h**l! I would sue the police dept & the officer! Just Stupid!
First of all tasers and guns are supposed to be used to protect officers in the advent of a threat to their person or others. Not in retaliation to their anger. A pregnant woman voicing her opinion is not a physical threat to the officer neither is tearing up a ticket. If she was illegally parked, the officer has grounds to write her a parking ticket.
How da h… can u not say this lady is pregnant everyone is not fat and what she needs too do is sue da police force its just a shame police get off with so much that is wrong, i hope the family is okay and baby has no damages.
Everyone is right. Speaking as a caucasian woman, I am all too familiar with the ugly double standard. That any man of any race could do something so horrific to a woman, particularly one carrying a child, makes me physically ill. I have family living in Arizona, where behavior of law enforcement is just as ugly toward Latinos. It has often been said that the only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. All we can do is try to bring light to injustice when we see it. To fight to hold bullies and tyrants accountable, and to give everyone a voice. Please, I beg of everyone of every race who has a conscience, do not give up. Help more people register and vote this fall. We have a large “emerging electorate” of young people, women, and people of color who must become a force for change. Every person who values freedom and democracy must register and VOTE. This will be a close election and we can’t be discouraged, no matter how bad it gets. Wealthy white men have more money, but they are only 1% of the voters! Decent people must work together and keep working until nothing like this is acceptable in any circumstances, EVER. My heart and prayers go out to this poor woman and her family. Nothing justifies what happened to her. Nothing.
