Giving Honor and deepest sympathy to the Martin Family.
I would like to share my sincere, highest, humble condolences and respect to the Family of Trayvon Martin, during their time of grief and tremendous loss of our young man.
I AM TRAYVON’s FAMILY! I am his aunt, his cousins, his sister, his teacher, his grandmother, and I live in HIS world!… I feel his Absence on the planet. I am so disappointed. My Brother, Nephew, Uncle, Father, Grandfather, and son has been lynched by the “In-Just-Us” of this society, far too long. My outrage and distrust in the Police, US civic, and legal system isn't just about this out of contol security watch "z" anymore, it is about our own self-determination in controlling an oppressive power structure- that systematically emasculates and dehumanizes our men and censors and manipulates the mass media. "z" was only their attack dog for the status quo of Racism/White Supremacy, with the polarizing exile of the gentrification of undercover Redlining in residential Real Estate and, commercial businesses. So z only served the interests of that status quo. He was the watchdog for white supremacy, yet he refused to follow orders and stand down. But, white supremacy came all out to reward him with a pat on the head in the aftermath.
For our young men to be on an unspoken curfew- and invisible redline, where they cannot go out at night and walk freely down the street. That he chose to buy the toxic waste of GMO high fructose corn syrup-based Candy and Tea is a sad and fatal irony. Black people work at alien jobs, buy from alien stores, eat their junk foods, rent from them- and get shot for living in their neighborhoods; instead of organizing to create and own OUR world. Trayvon was profiled by someone who has inserted the alien oppressive stereotypes of this society into his consciousness. Mexicans and other Hispanic/Latina -latin speaking people have often leaped in and out of the WASP Privileged society structure for their own survival. All they have to do is deny their culture and speak English. We call this "Passing.
“z”
considers himself to be a part of this “WASP” (White Arrogant Society of the
Privileged.) This brainwashed attack dog is now celebrated and financially supported by these same WASP
gated communities and political organizations!
Trayvon still matters today. The legacy of this young man’s life and his traumatic destruction and miscarriage of justice, reverberates, echoes and metastasizes as a symbol in so many matters of day to day prejudices, bigotry, stereotypes, sentiments, attitudes and actions toward our Black youth in the U.S.
Currently, in Kansas City, our youth are being racially profiled, corralled and blocked out of specific public access areas in Kansas City. They have shut our youth out of Swope Park, The Country Club Plaza,(J.C Nichols Plaza) Westport, the 39th street shopping area, The Power and Light District and North town.
Here in KC we have the Country Club Plaza - The first Gated Community built by JC Nichols, father of "white flight," from Integration, and the Power and "Light- white- Reich" districts for example, that are heralded as elite commercial and tourism attractions.
The Power and Light District is presently a commercial business organization that has put in place watchdog security strategies that have stereotyped our Afrikan American males in particular and instituted their dress codes that attack the cultural attire of Afrikan Americans. They have also attacked Afrikan American business owners and discouraged patronage by sending city officials to nitpick and pass out city code citations, while the police, harass the patrons in the parking lots and on their way home. To address this blatant discrimination, our young people staged a “White Tee-Shirt” Protest in 2008…

, http://www.tonyskansascity.com/2008/08/tkc-exclusive-aclu-plans-white-t-shirt.html
Very little was changed. Even Afrikan American community leaders, dressed in full traditional
Afrikan Attire, have been thrown out of businesses in this district.
The JC Nichols Country Club Plaza - Was the first Gated Community built by for "white flight" from Integration. There was a time when Blacks were not allowed to live passed 24th street, and The Plaza was a segregated area where only Black menial workers and maids were allowed to enter. They also had "Sundown Laws" in place after 6pm. Presently this area has the only local movie theater in the midtown metro area. This has created an uproar and complaints against Black youth who are seen around the fountains and high price tagged shops. KC Black parents are not organized to chaperon and self-police our youth from their own neighborhoods or sufficiently provide mentorship and assistance for struggling single parents, or carpool and provide transportation for the youth to go in public areas. Black people are expressing so much self-hatred toward our youth, and yet, we are ignoring the fact that we are all steadily being harassed, detained, picked off and quarantined by the police, targeting mostly the blighted zip code areas where many Black elderly, disabled, lower-income single parents and those on fixed incomes are concentrated.
Now on the south side of Kansas City, they are building a new nuclear weapons plant facility for the military-industrial complex, while tearing down the old, Honeywell/Bendix nuclear weapons plant- to create one great Brownfield area. In the heart of the midtown area, the city builds a brand new police campus that includes a forensic lab (as if there is an anticipation of more death by murder and crime.) Prior to this multi-million dollar building project, many of the Black Homeowners (often elderly and on fixed incomes) were forced out of their properties, without even a fair market replacement value, which prevented them from restoring their lives and being able to move into another home that was comparable to their existing way of life. The Public Education system formulated an attack against the homegrown Afrikan Centered School to replace it with a doppelganger Afro-themed construct.
What I find most disturbing is the apathy! In any other community, If we found 2 youth per week, murdered, or missing, there would be an international moratorium until there is an end to this tragedy! Yet this IS happening, all over the world, to Melanite people. Black families, overwhelmingly are not involved in the foster parents provider system. The majority of their children who are left orphaned by their imprisoned fathers and mothers, are also left vulnerable, so that the cycle perpetually continues to exspose Black children to a "Kill the Afrikan- save the child for indoctrination to serve white supremacy,... To compound this, Afrikan Americans are dying MORE from stress, and contaminated food related ilnesses to mitigate what I call the hand of death and disease, Stroke, Heart Attack, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Cancers!

Currently, our youth are being racially profiled, corralled and blocked out of public access areas in Kansas City. KC Black parents are not organized to self-police our own neighborhoods and sufficiently provide mentorship, assistance for struggling single parents, chaperones or transportation for the youth in public areas. Black people are steadily being harassed, detained, picked off and quarantined by the police, targeting mostly the blighted zip codes where many Black elderly, disabled, lower income single parents and those on fixed incomes are concentrated. Even though the Civil rights movement ended Legal Jim Crow Laws that included Redlining, where anyone can live in any community, with any Ethnicity, or skin color,. Yet, Afrikan Americans are still being racially profiled and pulled over in their vehicals, and harassed by cops, when they drive through "certain" neighborhoods...
Afrikan Americans are still being treated as 3/5ths human after the United States established themselves for more that 200 years in this country. In effect, our youth are being systematically captured, fingerprinted, photographed, and branded as juvenile delinquents to be treated as "Catch-and-Release" refugees in their own residential neighborhoods. This seems like our youth are pre-sentenced for the prison industrial complex. The paradox of federal penitentiaries is that the tax dollars are now given to the rural areas for each prisoner, where the majority of these prisons are built- in many cases ON THE SAME LAND THAT WAS ONCE USED AS SLAVE PLANTATIONS! So even more money is siphoned out of the Black economy and neighborhoods.
Kansas City built a brand new police campus and Black people insisted on naming it after Leon Jourdan. This monstrosity includes a forensic lab (as if there is an anticipation of more police killings, murder and crime.) Prior to this multi-million dollar building project, many of the Black Homeowners (often elderly and on fixed incomes) were forced out of their properties, without even a fair market replacement value, which prevented them from restoring their lives and being able to move into another home that was comparable to their existing way of life. So even more money is siphoned out of the Black economy and neighborhoods. Jeon Jordon had a history of establishing an independant police force- IN LIBERIA! He encouraged self sufficiancy in Afrikan Americans, not assemilation and codependancy to a hostile oppressive society. Our people are still being treated like captured war refugees in their own country. The confederate and Nazi flags are still waving over this country.

It is so typical to hear House Negropeans attempt to rationalize a “post racial society” when it is nonexistent. I speak of arrogant classism and privilege in the oppression of man’s inhumanity against man and in opposition to our struggle for human rights in which African American leaders were slaughtered, lynched and detoured from the successful achievement of economic acquisition by Cointelpro. If you would only research the profound disparities in relationship to police and civil brutality and murder of African American Men, and the prison industrial complex, You would know that the odds are stacked against our people.
YES I AM ANGRY -I am outraged, and very hurt. I have righteous indignation about the continual and
systematic injustices toward Afrikan American Men, and those who seek to
rationalize and justify the wholesale lynching, murder, disenfranchisement and
neo-slavery of our men from the third grade- to special education and the
penitentiary. This is a cycle of violence and terrorism that our young men are
daily introduced to. I had a Father and Mother in my household, with Brothers,
Uncles, Sons, Students, and Grandsons that need more than just their fathers
and mothers together in the household, a basketball hoop and an integrated
“Kum-ba-ya”. They need to know how to live, survive and maneuver in a world of apathy, callused bigots, institutionalized psychopathic racism, invisible redlining and a treacherous civil and legal system!
So where is the "Brown- People of Color Brotherhood"? Black people are alway inclusive of "POC" but I rarely- hardly hear People of Color Speak on behalf of the interest of Black people. Mexicans and Latina act like they despise us, unless they are sexualizing or exploiting Black Women. We spend Billions, while they shoot to kill us over petty crimes. Asians, Arabs, Islamic, and Hispanic businesse owners invade our neighborhoods that Black elders, and often children patronize because they lack the transportation and resoutces to find consistant Black businesses, yet they shoot-to-kill black people for panhandeling, or even petty theft of fake eye lashes.
Trayvon Martin also had his father and mother living together in his household- So, he didn't fit the "Single Mother household" Stereotype. Trayvon went out on the night before his murder, at the request of his little
brother, and was never able to make it back home to his family or his little
brother- to be a role model and a big brother to him! Yet even though Trayvon was innocent of any crime, he was caught up in the system and a world of prejudice and stereotypes and at the mercy of a no-win system of heartless, opportunist and vigilantes Dressed in blue, that have targeted our young men for genocide and menticide. Travon was NOT a Native son, yet, he was brought into the turmoil in the United States, festered globally, of racism, white supremacy...-
YES! We have the same rights to our own Kujichagulia
(Self-determination) -in building our own self- sustainable economic
communities, just as Latinos, Mormons, Jewish, Native Americans, Chinese, Mennonites,
Islamic, Italian, Japanese, Koreans, Buddhist, Taiwanese, and other communities have. WE NEED OUR OWN small
businesses, land, resources, energy, militias, and police and private security!
We DON’T NEED TO LIVE AS SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN A society that still views
Afrikan Americans as a “sub-class.”
I AM TRAYVON’s FAMILY. I am his mother, his aunt, his cousins, his sister, his teacher, his grandmother, and I live in HIS world… I have a right to grieve the loss of my son without the typical middle-class conservative worldview sentiments and opinions. I hear the hateful gloating of the same old callus, insensitive and offensive, Archie Bunker's bigoted mentality. It is apparent that the US Corporatocracy may have some “demons” of their own to deal with. The US has used African Americans as scapegoats far too long.
By the way, there is no such thing as “race.” It is just another political construct (like the term urban core) to isolate, redline, dehumanize and terrorize independent communities and rob them of economic stability. There is an undeniable “skin game” that is real for melaninated peoples. This is pervasive all over the world, where Black-skinned people are hidden outcasts living in exile from the overall population and society. Indian “Untouchables,” Black Native Americans, Black Mexicans, Black Chinese, and Black Europeans often live in exile, hidden and unspoken. Yet, racial profiling still exists, along with, police brutality, the Injustice system, economic redlining, and other “white” collar criminals and invaders! When I use the word “white” I don’t speak of a race- I speak of the 1% elite class and those who identify and discriminate using this construct to receive privileges. Many Indigo people live in a state of capture bonding where they completely identify with their abuser. This is what I call Maafa Syndrome, which predates what is known as Stockholm syndrome, that many suffer from. https://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2009/02/healing-from-maafa-syndrome.html
