What Happened In Ferguson,( By The Numbers)
First of all, as always, I would like to offer my condolences to the family and friends of Michael Brown.
In addition to what you've just seen on this video which is the end result of all of the incidents leading up to the Execution Style Shooting of Michael Brown, who is now being demonized by the "Powers That Be" in Ferguson Missouri in order to justify his Execution by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson.
Like many other Unjustified Black Male and Female Murders by Policeman and other Racists whose underlying goal is not Self Defense of Life, Property or Arrest and Prosecution.
That is not their goal.
The goal is a word that was used repeatedly before the New Millennium which is when people either as a matter of false perception or denial, began to promote the fantasy of a "Post Racial Society".
Genocide
I say denial because, it is easier to deny that a problem exists than it is to do the necessary work to fix it.
The latter does not require any Work, Sacrifice, Unity or Activism; because it is easier to do nothing; (Like The Republican Congress).
However, this problem did not start with the killing of Michael Brown.
(According to its own citizens),for Ferguson, this has been a problem for quite some time now; and the death of Michael Brown was just an accident waiting to happen because of the fact that they allowed themselves to be Schooled, Policed and Lead by people who do not know them, understand them or even like or care about them.
This is where the numbers come in:
Note: The problem is in bold; and it is a problem that I always write about that requires pro-action as opposed to reaction.
Ferguson, Missouri: Demographics from the 2010 Census:
21,203Over 18 years of age
15, 115Caucasians
6,206African Americans
14, 297
103Asians
80Native Americans
96Others
421Identified by more than one race
22%Live in poverty
White mayor
Six City Council Members 5 white and 1 African American
Ferguson’s population 67% African American, police force 5.6% African American
Ferguson is the 6th most segregated city in the nation.
This year, only 12.3% of eligible voters VOTED. In 2013 only 11.7% and in 2012 only 8.9%.
The problem is Political Apathy.
And it is a disease that many African Americans and other Minorities Suffer from.
When you fail to exercise your right to choose the people who will school your children, lead your community and protect it, then you allow other people to walk into those positions unopposed, and you do not help those who have your best interest at heart to get into a position that allows them to do so.
Now of course! I've heard and seen so much about the video that shows Michael Brown forcibly stealing cigars, and some Blacks with a Plantation Mentality and a lot of Whites who are mostly Right Wing Hate Mongers who think that Black People are not Human anyway, and don't deserve to share the earth with them, think: "There you have it. He's dead because he stole cigars".
To both groups I say: Even if Michael Brown stole cigars, he should have been arrested and prosecuted, not executed.
And to the people of Ferguson I say, that I am sorry for your lost, but these problems of inequality, (which everyone agrees have been ongoing), should have been addressed through Political Activism way before this incident occurred.
And as I said above: If Michael Brown stole cigars he should have been arrested and prosecuted, not executed.
But unfortunately as a result of Political Apathy, only 12.3% of the African American Population in Ferguson vote while the majority did not.
As a result, you have a Minority controlling the Majority, just like it was back on the Plantation.
Those who chose to do nothing allowed those who agree with and support these Racists and their Plantation Style of Controlling Black People, to put these people in office unopposed.
I hope that more people will become engaged in the Political Process in Ferguson and in other Minority Communities across the country, so that our communities will have Fair and Equal Representation even when it comes to arresting and prosecuting those who commit crimes in our neighborhoods.
And speaking of Criminals, to all of you who are in Ferguson not to honor the death of this young man and to respect the wishes of his bereaved parents, other family members and his friends; please get the hell out and let the True Activists do their jobs so that incidents like this can be eliminated or at least minimized.
Thank you,

The Tears Of A Clown
How can a man who brought so much joy, laughter and love to the world be suffering so bad?
Robin I don't know you, but I sure feel like you've been a buddy who made me laugh so many times throughout your career and my life, that you not being here has really left a void that will never be filled.
Many times when you made me laugh it was at some of the darkest times in my life, and I know how dark times can get, because I've experienced them many times before as you apparently did on Tuesday.
Thank you for all the laughter for all those years, and I hope and pray that whatever was tormenting you in this life, will turn to bliss in the next.
Good Bye Robin.
In your darkest hour which must have came on Tuesday, you may not have known how much you would be missed.
But if you can see what we who are still on this side are thinking, feeling and doing, I know that you know how much you are missed by so many around the world.
Robin Williams
July 21, 1951 – August 11, 2014
RIP Robin.
Sincerely,
G.R.C.

The Murder Of Michael Brown
First of all, condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Michael Brown and to all the people of Ferguson, Missouri.
It's time for us to realize that we are under attack by Racists Forces that were always present but were like a Sleeping Giant laying in wait for it's hibernation to be over.
These Racist Political, Paramilitary, Social Organizations and people were always working quietly and secretly beneath the surface- always planning to annihilate certain Races and Classes of people.
But the thing that made them take their hatred which they kept quiet and subdued to this new level which is becoming deadly, occurred on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, when America elected its First African American President.
Since that time, these Racists have been attacking the President Politically, Racially and personally, and these attacks have and continue to manifest themselves in violent attacks against people who look like and remind them of President Obama and all of the other Black Federal Official, including Eric Holder and Susan Rice as well as the White People who support this administration and its agenda.
The latest victim in a long line of victims is 18 year old, (Unarmed), Michael Brown who was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri a few days ago.
I am curious as to how many, how long and how bad it is going to have to get before we as a people and as a country realize, that as long as we remain silent, apathetic and in denial about what is really happening in this country right now and why it is happening; that those who hate us because of the external characteristics that GOD gave us when he created us, will not just stop killing our Sons, Daughters, Mothers, Fathers, Sister, Brother, Uncles, Aunts, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Friends just because we hope they will or deny that this is not what they are trying to do.
And I hope that we also stop saying to ourselves and others: "Well what can I do about it?"
There are plenty of things that we can do if we would only Unite and Organize with the Common Purpose in mind of Surviving the Vicious Racists Attacks that our Fore Fathers and Fore Mothers fought and died to stop.
As bad as things are right now, their sacrifices far outweigh the ones that we face by rebelling against this Racial Hatred that is leading to the killing of our people and possibly the death of our country as we know it.
We can do a lot to make the world a better place if we do it together-starting with not ignoring Your Right to Vote, which is also a right that is under attack all over this country, because Racist are Mad and Afraid of the Progress that we have made in this country over the years.
So how about starting with voting this November 4, 2014 in the Midterm Elections which is something that we did not do in 2010, which is the failure that is helping these people have the opportunity to Murder us on a Massive Level and get away with it just like they did in the "Good Ole Days".
Our children are our future and our elders are the treasures of that future.
If we continue to not stand together to protect them all; eventually do to this escalation that we are witnessing, certainly your number, my number or the number of someone you love will come up.
Please do not sit back and wait for that to happen.
If you already know how you can help-do it!
And if you don't know how you can help-ask someone who does for advice.
Anyone who has it in his or her heart to make this country and this world a better place will be glad to share their knowledge, ideas, thoughts and opinions with you, because you are needed to protect our Race, Country and Democracy.
Please start by researching the candidates and voting this November and in the 2016 Presidential Elections.
Thank you,
G.R.C.

STOP! Killing Our Children With Violent Stupidity
3 Year Old McKenzie Elliott
Wednesday August 6, 2014-North Baltimore shot in a "Drive By" in (Waverly)
And now another 3 year old Knijah Amore Bibb shot Monday Morning in Prince Georges County when a man shot into a house after an argument over some clothes.
The suspect in the first shooting on Wednesday is in custody.
However, the suspect Davon Wallace, in the shooting of the child on Monday in Prince Georges County is still on the run.
To the victims, I offer my prayers that they will Rest In Peace.
To the families of the victims, I offer my prayers, condolences and the hope that you find closure and peace somehow.
To the perpetrators, I hope that you will use your experience and humanity to teach others to not indiscriminately shoot in your community or any other community where innocent people may die, like these 2 precious souls did.
And to the community, I would like to say that you do not owe those who are destroying your community and the children who live there anything!
No Protection!
No Sympathy!
And No Interference with the Judicial Process,

Have You Heard? Democrats Hate White People!
This is one of many techniques that are in the Republican's Bag of Tricks used in an attempt to hide the genuine nature of today's GOP.
I call it the Racist's Mirror Effect.
It has been used for so long and so often that I cannot see how anyone would not know about it or not be able to see through this Tactic of Deception, (one of many).
But for those who don't-here's how it works.
It always consist of the Perpetrator of one or more Hateful Acts against a certain group or class of people turning their hatred for those they victimized into the Guilty Party by accusing them of the very thing that they themselves are guilty of.
You know!
Those Indians are Savages because they fought back against strangers from another land,who were taking over all of their land and assigning them to a specified place where they could be known as a Reservation.
Approximately 2 years ago, Congress, (led by Republicans), refused to pass a bill that would make Rape by outside men of Indian Woman a Crime Punishable by Jail Time.
So the Government of the United States of America, (led by Republicans), says that it is OK for a men who does not live on an Indian Reservation to Rape an Indian Woman at will, with impunity.
Why?
Because according to their thinking, the Indian People are not worthy of protection because they are not human enough or good enough to deserve it.
Or like those Black Africans shouldn't be Free.
Their Animals who need to be Slaves.
You see! It is easier to justify the Oppression, Rape, Murder, Bombing, Cross Burning, Lynching, Assigning People to Specific Places where they can be like a Reservation or Plantation when you Demonize them first.
This is a very dangerous practice for many reasons, (particularly the potential for dangerous and deadly violence) that can cause the loss of thousands if not millions of Human Beings of all kinds.
So it is important that you know this technique when you see it being applied, so that you can recognize and suppress it before it is allowed to get to the point that I talked about above.
I've seen those conditions and circumstances before and would prefer not to live through them again.
So study the technique thoroughly because you will see it used by Republicans again and again and again as I have for far too many years.
Check Out The Statistical Data.
Does this Idiot think that only Black, Hispanics and other Minorities are the only ones who are part of the Democratic Party?
President Obama would not have won 2 elections without White Democrats and some White Republicans who said one thing around their peers and did something completely different once they got in the voting booth.
Always remain vigilant, because it is people like this who are trying to steal every bit of progress that we have made as a country and as a race of people in some very subtle and deceptive ways.

Eric Garner Was Murdered By A Gang Of New York City Policeman
Eric Garner was murdered by a gang of New York City Policeman and the failure of New York City Paramedics to do their jobs which was to at least, make an attempt to save his life after he was attacked, subdued and in custody.
I sincerely hope that people of color will recognize this trend and recognize the fact that as long as we remain silent, apathetic and impotent, this trend will not only continue, but will escalate to the point where the odds that we ourselves or someone whom we love will become a victim of this HATE.
The majority of these murders are being committed by Racists who hate the fact that a Black Man was Legally Elected to the Highest Office in the United States twice.
This has terrified and outraged those who have Racial Hatred in their DNA from their fore fathers and fore mothers whose Fantasy of "White Supremacy" is being shattered by the progress and achievements that are being made by people who are not White.
Never forget that a Fearful or Wounded Animal is a Very Dangerous Animal.
Don't be Reactive be Proactive!
Need more evidence before you think, create and act?
And to the Racists who might want to play the "Racists Mirror Game",(which is a game where White Racist accuse people who recognize and draw attention to their Racism-"Racist"), I would just like to say that I don't support the murder of any innocent Human Being at all Black or White.
I mention the deaths of People of Color because for some strange reason, there seems to have been an enormous volume of attacks against People of Color in America in the last 6+years that is continuing to get worse.
Don't watch others die unjustly and do nothing more than say "its not me", because the fact of the matter is that it could be you or someone whom you love at any time due to the sharp increase in these types of Hateful Acts.
Don't Wait!
Vote!
Work!
Become an Activist!
Thank you,
G.R.C.
