Who defines my reasoning in speaking of my reality?

Who am I?

Who are we?

Some people ask us, “Are we not the leading force of all nations?”

Students of truth will tell you that this should not be true if we choose to ignore the principles and the basics.

Knowledge will tell us that the Emancipation Proclamation was only signed to force the then population of Negroes into long term segregation.

Follow this…

Understand that the Emancipation Proclamation was put in place to increase long term segregation of the Black incarcerated population because they knew that the next generation would have little knowledge of their history of knowing. Violence and silence became the voices of Willie Lynch’s “Nation.”

Who am I?

Who are we?

Who is more important?

  • The victim or suspect?
  • The victimized or the individualized?
  • The shooter or the shot?
  • The boy or the man?
  • The girl or the woman?
