Criminals run the Community

Today we looked at the Black community's problem of crime within the communities that we live. The criminals are running many poorer Black communities and neighborhoods. They protect their territory ny creating a anti-snitch and anti- action mentality. They rule the community through fear threatening, hurting and even killing anyone who challenges them. They create an atmosphere where the dealers flourish making it fertile ground for the real money men to pillage. The money leaves our community in desperation leaving only a few who've been given a little more to perpetuate this condition. Like house slaves and those who captured Africans to be sold into slavery, they sell their souls for a buck while leading oppressed Blacks to their doom. We need to see these people in that way, as conscious or unconscious traitors fueling the oppression of Africans.

We discussed those who make excuses for these people, protecting them from harm or prosecution, allowing them to continue their campaign within the community. We discussed how these people might be worse. They have the influence and ability to attempt change, but, for some reason choose not to. They enable the criminals to further damage our community from the inside out. Making the collapse of the Black community, at times, an inside job.
