ARE PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT REALLY AMERICANS??
ARE PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT REALLY AMERICANS??
I know. I know. Y’all don’t want me discussing issues like this but it is highly appropriate when one observes recent legal decisions. Here is why this question is so appropriate. Trayvon Martin is dead from the hands of his stalker George Zimmerman yet the law is being applied that makes Trayvon the criminal while Zimmerman is basically being treated as the victim. Since Trayvon was being stalked why doesn’t the legal system see the situation from his point of view and determine by law that Trayvon had the right to stand his ground. If Trayvon was really considered to be an American wouldn’t the right to stand his ground be most appropriate considering the facts?
Trayvon Martin Killing: 911 Tape Reveals Possible Racial Slur by Neighborhood Watchman
By MATT GUTMAN and SENI TIENABESO | Good Morning America – Tue, Mar 20, 2012
In Baltimore a youth of African descent is walking through a Jewish neighborhood. Three Jewish youth ask him why he is in the neighborhood, beat him up. Only one of the Jewish youths are convicted although the youth of African descent testifies under oath that he was beat by all three. We all can point to situations where a crime was committed, more than one youth of African descent is on the scene all did not participate in the crime but all are convicted of the crime at some level. I look at the situation with my own son who was in a house that murders were committed. The Indiana Supreme Court ruled that there is no evidence that my son killed anyone, yet he is tried and convicted for murder. This comparison shows how the courts act if the perpetrator is white and the victim is of African descent. The law is not applied the same way. If the law is not applied the same way isn’t that what existed in this country pre-1965. Jim Crow and Black Code law was in legal before the 1965 Civil Rights Act. Jim Crow and Black Code law allowed for the law to be applied differently for people of African descent as opposed to others. Jim Crow and Black Code law legally stated that yes, people of African descent have rights but none that white people, or the courts are deemed to respect. The 1965 Civil Rights Act was supposed to eradicate these two different sets of laws. All citizens were now, by law to be treated with the same justice under the law. We are seeing time and time again how the law is still applied disparately when it comes to people of African descent. Doesn’t this disparate treatment point to people of African descent to not really be Americans??
1 brother convicted in Md. neighborhood watch case
By SARAH BRUMFIELD, Associated Press
BALTIMORE (AP) — A judge convicted one brother and exonerated the other Thursday in the 2010 beating of a black teenager they encountered while responding to a suspicious person report received by an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood watch group

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE6MNaGffp8 (Andre Carson Response To Disparate justice for my son)
Brandon Johnson, here in Indianapolis, ask the police why they were arresting his brother. Brandon was beaten and his brother was taken to jail. The Marion County Prosecutor, Carl Brizzi investigate and determined that neither Brandon nor his brother exhibited behavior that rose to the level of being a crime. So in essence Brandon suffered an unmerciful beating at the hands of police and his brother was taken to jail by police and neither of them had committed a crime. Surely then, a crime was committed by the police officers. Assault, and illegal arrest immediately come to mind. Yet no police officer was charged although the police chief moved to fire Officer Jerry Piland for his part in the beating suffered by Brandon. However, the Civilian Merit Board ruled that Piland should not be fired!! With these types of rulings coming from the courts can people of African descent conclude that in reality we are not truly Americans??
Family: Justice has not been served in IMPD brutality case

IMPD Officer Jerry Piland found not guilty
http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/local/marion_county/impd-officer-jerry-piland-found-not-guilty
Joe Slash said, “When you look at the picture of Brandon Johnson’s face anyone can see that is excessive force.”
A man of African descent accidently trips a medical call alert in his home. The police respond before the medics. The man informs the police that he tripped the device accidently. The police want access to his home. The man does not want the police in his home. To make a long story short the police end up shooting the man to death. Did not the man have the right to not let the police in his home. If the man of African descent was a true American wouldn’t the law have been on his side? Yet the police was not held accountable for killing this man of African descent. Really are people that live in America truly American citizens?? How can we answer this question affirmatively when the law is applied so recklessly? This is the question that is glowing so brightly in the minds of many of us. Are we still living in the days of Jim Crow and Black Code Law? This is the question that is being posed. Your responses are sought and welcome. I am unbought, unbossed and unafraid to raise the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God!!
Police officer cleared in shooting death of ailing veteran in New York
By Rose Arce and Soledad O'Brien, CNN
updated 6:11 AM EDT, Fri May 4, 2012
The family said they believed Chamberlain was treated differently because he lives in a housing project and is black. They said could hear one of the police officers on the audio tape referring to Chamberlain by using the N-word.
That was not part of the evidence released yesterday, but the district attorney confirmed it was on the tape and said: "The use of a racial epithet in any context is offensive to the dignity of all of us."

"The evidence also showed that, once inside the home, Ajabu helped confine the victims and stood over Nick with a knife after Walls had cut Christopher’s throat. In sum, it was reasonable for the jury to infer that the victims’ murders were a natural and probable consequence of the planned robbery and that Ajabu willingly participated as an accomplice."
Brandon Johnson was attempting to incite a crowd to attack the officers who were legitimately arresting his punk thug brother who had just burglerized a house. Carl Brizzi is a mewling cowardly little puke who was more concerned with the city being sued by the thug trash family than seeing justice done. Officer Piland was not fired, because the police merit board looked at all of the facts and cleared him of any wrongdoing. More people would listen to you if you didn't lie and attempt to make up facts. I am. Apparently noone agrees with your fake account or you would think at least one person would have posted. Sherrie doesn't count as she is obviously you posting as an alias. Either that, or she is sleeping with you.
You are always working overtime to separate the races and then you are outraged when you are allegedly treated differently. Do you not realize how stupid your blog makes you look? It's like you have no concept of reality.
Bernard
The following is a direct quote from the transcript: "While Ajabu emphasizes the lack of evidence demonstrating that he actually killed any of the victims, it is well established that the State was not required to prove that Ajabu was the principal actor in the murders" This part of the law is overly applied when the victim is white and the pertrator is of African descent. This is the point. The application of the law is more ferocious for people of African descent than for people who are not of African descent. We see if very clearly with how the system is treating Zimmerman. He was the admitted stalker. Yet the law is being questioned on him having the right to stand his ground as opposed to Trayvon!! Just because Trayvon is of African descent and murder is committed, even if the murder is his own, he is the one treated as if he is the criminal. The Court admits there is no evidence that my son killed anyone yet he is still treated as a murderer. In light of this disparate treatement that people of African descent get as justice I think it appropriate, very appropriate for people of African descent to question whether we are Americans. REALLY!! Malcolm X taught us that just because you are sitting at the dinner table does not make you a diner. In order to be a diner you must have food on your plate the same quality as others and then be able to eat it. Just because we are in America does not make us Americans. In order for us to consider ourselves as Americans we must be able to experience the fruits of America. Disparate treatment by the justice system is not the fruit of America. This treatment is the thorns America have to offer!! Until the treatment is as other people are treated then people of African descent are not really Americans. I am unbought, unbossed and unafraid to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth SO HELP ME GOD!! YOU READY??
When ANYONE is involved in the commision of a felony and death occurs. All parties are charged with FELONY murder. You just love making stuff up don't you? And no where does it state that the rules are applied based on ones color. It probably just seems that way as those of African-American decent are a minority, but disproportionately commit most crimes.
The police have been killing and beating people for so long it is not a surprise that not a thing was done to the officers invovled in the Bradon beating. (Color is not issue?) Color is always and will always be the issue. Racism is alive and well, and not enough of our young black people in Indianapolis, Indiana want to stand up for our rights. So, this state is going to keep pushing us around and puting slave stautes all around town to remind us that we are so called "not thing but slaves" in their eyes.
I am of Christ decent everyyhing belongs too Him so that means since I am of totality in His likeness and image than my answer it all belongs too Him so yes I am a pilgram in a foreign land just passing through.
Delisa,
Aren't we all. It seems to be especially here in America for people of African descent.
About time indeed. This is needed for the helpless ones who face brutality and wish to protect themselves. Those of you who say this is crazy are fools. Your children die from crooked cops and you say to do nothing about it. I would hate to be your child. Cops have a job to do and that is maintain order, not take advantage of black youth. You wouldn't believe how many cases have been reported about police brutality and murder. Look up the Oscar Grant cases, he was shot in the back laying down. This is just one of the dozens of acts from this year alone. When will enough be enough. You have grown too nice. History has proven that words will not stop violence.Let the strong be strong. Wake up.
Dawn/Bunneh,
You state that the following: "And no where does it state that the rules are applied based on ones color. It probably just seems that way as those of African-American decent are a minority, but disproportionately commit most crimes." I am making the case the disparate application of justice to people of African descent is the unwritten rule. Your next statement reveals the disparity exists but it is because people of African descent are more prone to commit crimes. As if by birth people of African descent are criminals. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that crime exists higher in the communities of people of African descent because of our historical experience in America, not because we were born this way. We were made by America. Let me help you by looking at some stats for vets.
•Number of veterans as of Sept. 2009: approximately 23 million1
•Increasing numbers of returning military personnel: according to the Mass. Dept. of Veterans’ Services, approximately 31,000 service members have returned to the Commonwealth since Sept. 11, 2001.
•Between 529,000 and 840,000 veterans are homeless at some time during the year.2
•On any given night, more than 300,000 veterans are living on the streets or in shelters in the U.S.
•Approx. 33% of homeless males in the U.S. are veterans.2
•Veterans are twice as likely as other Americans to become chronically homeless.2
•Veterans represent 11% of the adult civilian population, but 26% of the homeless population, according to the Homeless Research Institute (2007).
•Veterans are more at risk of becoming homeless than non-veterans
•The number of homeless Vietnam-era veterans, male and female, is greater than the number of soldiers who died during the war.1
•Primary causes of homelessness among veterans are:
1. Lack of income due to limited education and lack of transferable skills from military to civilian life (especially true of younger veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan)
2.Combat-related physical health issues and disabilities
3.Combat-related mental health issues and disabilities
4.Substance abuse problems that interfere with job retention
5.Weak social networks due to problems adjusting to civilian life
6.Lack of services.3
Are you getting the picture!! The causes of vet homeless are the same causes of people of African descent's rebellion. Because of vets' experiences it makes the norm in America difficult to deal with. You have never been to war. The above stats are the by product of war. Because of the cut back of the numbers soldiers are having to be deployed more times in the theatre of war. These experiences are going to drive more vets toward expressing mentally unhealthy behavior. It is because of our experiences that some of us act differently that others. I say our because I am a vet. I am my brotha's keeper. Someone has got to make the clarion call. These vets are of all races. It seems when the factor of race is involved that America wants to put blinders on. One cannot ignore the implications of race in America. This thing is real!!
Likewise I am a person of African descent. Trying having a history of slavery. That experience in America is still having affect today. Coming out of slavery America still had Jim Crow and Black Code laws. America put people of African descent in an abnormal situation and now want us to act according to the norm of white people. Our experences in America are much different. Jim Crow and Black Code laws actually made it legal for the justice system to give us discriminate justice. These laws were supposedly irridicated by the 1965 Civil Rights Act. Now, There was supposed to be equal protection under the law for everyone. It takes time for behavior to catch up with legislation. Behavior of the justice system is still catching up with that equal protection clause. The disparate application of the law toward people of African descent appears that way because it is. Our unequal experience in America, based on our race, causes us to rebel against the norm. This rebellion is looked at as being criminal when actually it is a loud cry for fairness. I am seriously working to make the cry a demand! It is time that people of African descent demand equal protection under the law or recognize the tyranny and be courageous to do something about it. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!! America's behavior has got to catch up with its legislation. Yes, everything on paper looks good. But what is on paper is not the reality. It is time for the reality to mirror the paper. Do you feel me??
The same cry is being made by vets. Where is the fairness that a citizen goes to war. War is an abnormal situation. How does America expect to place people in an abnormal situation but then expect them to act normal. Shame on America!! I ask the same question for Vets that I ask for people of African descent. Based on the way America treats its vets and people of African descent are we Americans really?? It is an appropriate question. The correct answere better get here soon. REAL SOON!! I am unbought, unbossed and unafraid to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth SO HELP ME GOD!! YOU READY??
Hey Rev. Jabby,
How come you NEVER do a story on the EPIDEMIC of BLACK MOB Crime-including MOB rapes, killings, mass theft, and beatings...my guess is it's because you are a lying hypocrite?
You seem to ignore these events we are seeing every day..
Oh, and BY ALL MEANS---please make us aware of the White mob crime , i.e. all the blacks getting beaten, robbed, and raped by white mobs so we can be aware of that.
Looks to me like some "makin' good" needs to be done, and that there is a "War of Whites".....whaddya say Jabby?
Jayson
Jayson,
You really need prayer!! First I don't know what you are talking about. Your post is very incoherent. How is your mental health?? You don't sound good. Better get that checked. My prayers are with ya!! Be blessed.
Jabby,
Your head is up your ass, and you're a liar, that's why you don't know shit.
Why dont you comment on the GRUESOME BRUTAL MurDers of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome, by A group of BLACKS....covered up by the media.
The recent BLACK MOB beating of two reporters yanked out of their car in NORFOLK, VA by a group of 30+ BLACKS.
The recent stripping and beating by a BLACK MOB of a white man on the street in Baltimore, its on YOUtUBe. Disgusting.
BLACK MOB attacks in Akron OHIO, beating White FAMILIES in the streets yelling "THIS IS A BLACK WORLD"
BLACK MOBS entering convenience stores and ROBBING THE STORE OWNERS and breaking store displays. Check BLACK FLASH MOBs on YOUTUBE.
BLaCK MOB violence is easy to find, but minimized by the press-----YOU ARE a PHONY lying hypocrit AJABU!
You seem to FORGET THE Innocent and Helpless who WERE BRUTALIZED , MURDERED and Assaulted by your dirtbag son! WHAT kind of BEAST could stand there and WATCH a CHILD be bUTCHERED!!!!! You are a LYING HYPOcRIT AJABU!!
Rev. Jabby-- your sorry shit life, and that of your sorry shit son is a product of your incessant hate. enjoy it, reflect on it daily, they are your "blessings"
Jayson
Ajabu willing participated in the murders.
3 appeals courts have affirmed this decision.
Jayson and Bernard both make excellent points. I also saw a YouTube video where a 90 pound white girl was beaten by a group of black youths. Why do these groups feel like they should all gang up on an individual? Cowards!!! And Ajabu, you saying Kofi was in the wrong place at the wrong time? Kofi chose to be involved in that robbery/ murder. When you commit a crime you sign up for the consequences of everything that happens during the commission of said crime. Maybe some of the thugs that follow your little blog can learn the lesson your son had to learn. Then again, you are not known for accepting personal responsibility. So why should your son be any different? He obviously learned his arrogant narcissism from the master of subterfuge.
If you were born here to legal parents, yep, you're really an American. Doesn't matter where your ancestors were from. May as well jump in and get your feet muddy and have a good time.
Just because we were born in America makes us Americans? Does that mean if we are born in an oven then we are biscuits? Sitting a table without food on your plate does not make you a diner. The way justice is applied to people of African descent really makes one question if we are American in name but not in practise. The same question can be asked about vets. With the ill treatment after fighting the nations wars are these men and women treated like Americans? Really??
"The people of these United States are the rightful masters of both Congresses and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."--Abraham Lincoln
If Africa is so awesome Jabby, why don't you go live there? Seriously, move to Africa. You would love it there and you would not have to worry about being treated with inequality. Pack your crap and go. Noone here will miss you. At all!!!! You do nothing but complain about America and how bad you have it. So leave if you hate our country so much. Shut the Hell up. Pack your bullhorn and go. Wait, if you did that, you would have to quit trying to be a fame whore. Besides, if you went to Africa with your attitude, real Africans would kick your butt. You would never make it in a third world country. You are weak and soft. The African women push back.
Jabby the Idiot---but an ACCOMPLICE TO A MURDER MAKES kOFI AJAbu a MURDERER !!!!! yOU Dumbass!!!!!
You stupid moronic analogies DON'T MEAN SHIT- its simply your LAME ATTEMPT to absolve your evil child of THE BLOOD ON HIS HANDS, he murdered CHILDREN, and YOU want to give him a PASS??. you are an IDIOT Ajabu!
Jayson
Jayson,
Ajabu is too stupid to get anything out of facts. He is delusional and in his own little world. He has obviously had some sort of psychotic break. He imagines persecution where there is none and he thinks he is going to be a Congressman. He makes up his own little " facts" , he uses outdated information. For example, experts have concluded that Zimmerman said effing cold on the dispatching recording, not a racial slur. He has to know this by now, yet he continues to use outdated speculation to support his hate campaign. ZERO credibility Ajabu. When you constantly lie, it destroys your credibility. I didn't know how badly Ajabu was viewed by the black community until I attended a little charity function and heard people maki.g fu. Of him. It was amazing. He is a few shrimp short of a jambalaya.
Dawn/Bunneh & Jayson,
Wow!! Such strong talk. Does the truth hurt that bad?? Why won't you address the comparison of vet behavior with that behavior displayed by people of African descent which is cause by our mutual experiences? That is the truth of the matter. No one, well let me say me, I don't hate this country. Yet, that does not stop me from telling the truth about the way this country and its justice system has acted and is still acting. Vets are getting a raw deal!! We have fought for the country to be treated unfairly by the country. People of African descent are getting a raw deal!! We, through our ancestors, have worked free for this country and still can't find fairness or justice in the country. It is time for it to stop. ENOUGH!!!! Yes I am going to be the next congressman for the 7th district of Indiana. Victory is at hand. The truth will win out over lies and deceit every time. I am unbought, unbossed, and unafraid of the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I swear to tell the truth SO HELP ME GOD!! YOU READY??
See Jayson? I told you. Complete break with reality.
You haven't worked a day in your life Ajabu. Noone alive today was.a slave or slave holder. Get over it . Put on your big girl panties and make a life for yourselves thru getting.g an education and some actual work. The bondage that is rampant today is cyclical welfare bondage. WIC, foodstamps, unemployment. ADC and section 8 housing. That is the purchase price of yo ur freedoms. Start having some personal responsibility. The US Government are the current overseers with Obama being the lead overseer currently paying people to not achieve or excell in life. Welfare is hush money to keep people ignorant and under Govt. Control. Karl Marx said religion is the Opium of the masses, when actually welfare is.
LAtEST BLaCK on Black KilLING in INDY ---see below.
I love this Dumbass Jabby Mugabe the A-Hole Clown Quote..."We, "through our ancestors", worked fo' free"..
Jabby, you are the saddest example of a piss-ass wussy I have ever met, now your are saying "YOU worked"....but "through your Ancestors???? lOL. HHHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaa!
Jabby you say the dumbest $hit I've ever heard.
Jabby, explain to me how thousands of WHITE PEOPLE got together at the Speedway today...we all had fun, ate food, had some beers...and we didn't shoot each other or kill anyone.......??? How could that be???
......But you get 30-40 BLACK PEOPLE together at a funeral, they turn on each other like hyenas and 4 people END up SHOT, and ONE 25 yr old GIRL IS SHOT DEAD???? Seems to me you NEED TO CHECK YOUR OWN BISCUITS IN YOUR OWN OVEN, you a$$-clown. How MANY BLACKS WERE KILLED BY BLACKS this weekend you numb-nut??.
Jabby the Clown, you WILL NOT be a ConGreSsman, as stupid as your community tends to be....I don't think they are all as STUPID as YOU are.
Jabby,
Dawn/Bunneh & Jayson,
Wow!! Seems like I hit a nerve. Why are you ignoring the vet issue. Typical of you. Vets just can't get any respect. I am a decorated vet who suffers from being exposed to agent orange while in Viet Nam yet the VA is taking over two years to process my claim. And I am not by myself. But you ain't seen nothing yet. Watch how crazy America will get when them soldiers are brought back from Afghanistan on a mass basis. Some will not be able to handle this norm. they will mentally still be in the war. Mark my word. And unfortunately they will be treated like criminals instead of giving them the help they need before they go off. Are vets really Americans?? With the treatment being given I am sure many are really comtemplating this question.
And oh, as for my son, I am not saying he should not be held accountable. But his accountability should be limited to his behavior. He is being held accountable for someone else's behavior. That is not just. Yes I am going to be the next congressman to represent the 7yh Indiana congressional district. I am unbought, unbossed and unafraid of the truth. the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Neither of you ever commented about the strategy to lower gas prices. this is the genius that I will bring to the office. It is a brilliant strategy that just cause for the masses to intelligently consume. We are going to win this race. YOU READY??
