Be the Gentry of our own Communities

I give honor to the Most High Great Spirit and our ancient Ancestors! We are the Children of the Sun! 



We must look inside of our own neighborhoods, and go within ourselves, to re-establish our own Black Nome* societies which includes our own Black Policing systems. This is what is called Intentional Community*.  An Intentional Community Lowers Crime by 34%. 

We can customize our own approach to rebuild our own community, focusing clearly on our own cultural sensitivity and understanding, to provide a quality way of life with our own Paramedics, Medical Clinics Fire department, and law enforcement services that meet the unique needs of our diverse people. 

*"An intentional community is a planned residential community designed to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. The members of an intentional community typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision."

I propose that Afrikan Americans Become the "Gentry" of Our Own Communities.*



Paternally depending on Police that refuse to give accountability for a budget that offers support and relief for the most impoverished areas of Kansas City, or chooses not to live around our elders, our children, and our most vulnerable, Mothers, and Fathers, within our Black neighborhoods. Depending on people who represent policing, yet don't even choose to live in our neighborhoods, yet they send their ride-alongs to the black residential areas for their amusement, then brandish a negative, hyper-militarized, dehumanizing, condescending, alienating, aggressive, assimilationist, shoot-to-kill stance in racially profiling and stereotyping African Americans that they are supposed to serve and protect, is out of order.. 

*We need to "right size" and repurpose these services. WE CAN POLICE OURSELVES! We can stop calling 911 and 311 and use our own self-management strategies that are already in place in our neighborhoods and Associations!

So I'm Coming Straight From The Underground!





I hope you have read my article on Black Community Policing. We talked about things we can do today, like Grandma Benches for Mental Health, Agrotherapy for Veterans, re-entry, mental and nutritional health;


and Tribal Councils for local government. I am open to continuing this course for the implementation of this objective at Amen Ankh CommuniverCity.

*Tribal/Saphat Council
Our Ancient societies used the word Saphat to describe a Nome society.
A Nome or Saphat starts with 5 families that grow to 5 Klans= 25 Family-based systems. 5 Nomes represent a city-state. 

This information was discussed in the book NATION BUILDING HOW TO By Sasteh Meter Mosley








"Eco-Nome-ics is a family based system" 

Sasteh Meter Mosley




Our ancient Ancestors established cities that lasted for 4000-year Dynasties, in peace. These were specialized groups, based on an ecology of natural resources. These Nomes began with gatherers and hunter groups, then Fishermen and Shepherd Kings- Pastoral migration Klans, then Farmers, with specialized Craft Makers, Carpenters, Metal Smithers, Etc., who built their services and businesses from access to a commonwealth of forests, land, rivers, lakes, and oceans etc., for cooperative eco-nomics. Economics is built upon the root word- Eco-logy. Ecology of natural resources that are essential to life- water, land to grow and harvest foods, and natural materials like wood, minerals, and clay. Our Ancestors all used natural resources to manufacture and trade with each other. Currently, we have Black Professionals, Artists, Mechanics, Scientists, Engineers, ect. in every field that we would need to build our own community and town. 

Historically The gentry are the powerful members of society. In the United Kingdom, where there are still kings and queens and dukes and duchesses, the gentry are the people who rank just below the nobility and ruling class. Gentry can also refer to the important people in any field. Below the gentry was the middle class. They also owned property, but they were not as rich as the gentry. The middle class worked at skilled jobs. A skilled job was being a teacher or craftsman.

The academic certifications of public school systems are always skewed because the Gifted and Talented were predominantly removed, to be groomed and fostered within private institutions and tutors. later as they went to college, they were fostered to never return to the "Ghetto"/hood. So Just like athletes, their income was never expected to recirculate back into the neighborhoods and families that they grew up in. in fact this is where the prison industrial complex and foster care system diverts income to the small towns that hold the penal institutions and the incarcerated


WE Must Be the Gentry 

Understanding the mathematics of 6 Degrees of Separation, to return to Cooperative ownership of unencumbered land, Real Properties, cooperative ownership of Production and Manufacturing Businesses, and in pooling our own commonwealth of Natural Resources; establishing our own Water and Food Systems, Energy, transportation and security, to build our own Schools, Hospitals, Amusement Parks, Movie Theaters, Hotel/ Resorts, Entertainment centers, Tourist Attractions, Recreational centers, Skating Rinks, and even Auto Racing tracks. As WEB Dubois spoke of the talented 10th, while Booker T Washington fostered the Pull-Up-Your-Bootstrap to promote industry development, we must now come together to not leave anyone behind.






Presently we are not living in a community, we are living within an open public corral of free-range enslavement. Low subsistence wage Workers, staff, and  Employees have replaced the enslaved... We are consumer-based, not production based, without a Commonwealth of land and resources. Like fish in a bucket, we have been the targets of a domestic war for 400 years. The war on Drugs is a US domestic war on melanite people.

We encourage our disenfranchised to "Be the Gentry of their own communities! We want our best and brightest to return and rebuild our neighborhoods and foster green Eco-Nome-y. Historically, Melinated people owned successful Economic Towns known as "Black Wallstreets" all over America, Now we have been convinced to foster the best and brightest to get out of the "Ghettos" which only empower the economy of an alien society while blighting our own. the African American community is targeted to be the underclass wage slave consumer. They are surrounded and targeted by Payday loan sharks, food deserts of GMOs, fast food restaurants (that only foster diabetes, heart attacks, and cancers), Alcohol, tobacco and firearms,  miseducation,, and functional illiteracy.

We need to Buy-Black our own neighborhoods out of Neo-Enslavement.

Often, when we are brought to the table - WE are on the menu!

As Dr. Claud Anderson has stated, "We are living under Social Integration and - There is no power in being Consumers." 

Our Children are the Gentry! 

ALL of our children are born with the potential for genius.

 *We must stop teaching the best minds of our children to leave the "Ghetto" neighborhoods, then to assimilate with a hostile society, as a perpetual consumer, never gaining a momentum of generational inherited wealth. Finally to leave our neighborhoods to dwindle, and our elders, children, women, and most vulnerable, to die in poverty and criminality. Poverty is a crime, and poverty is the Mother of criminality. With the exhaustion of our human resources, very little money from our children who leave our neighborhoods comes back into our neighborhoods to recirculate. So we work, then give our money right back to an alien society that is pressuring the destruction of our own cultural Identity, like a vice.





When African Americans, from the civil rights era, agreed to desegregate, integrate, or assimilate into the Public corral of the School-to-prison-pipeline, we not only lost our schools and some of our best and brightest teachers to integration. We also lost our Black business contracts, our Black Farmers for food contracts, production, manufacturing, and business services. Then we bussed our children to another school to have an alien society teach our children miseducation. Then black Americans moved into areas that were previously redlined; while the previous population of that neighborhood moved into private sectored "white-flight", gated communities. With Social Integration, we lost our best doctors, scientists, Mathematicians, and Industrial business owners, then our Farmers and landowners, with their families who had skills and resources. 

When Asian/ Asiatic students leave school, at the end of the day, they transition to cram schools and/or Family Based Businesses as part-time workers. Many also eat, and worship, together as a family and community group. The families cook together and the elders are available to assist the youth.  Yet when Black students transition from their school day, very few are in after-school programs, the remainder are often latch-key-children. The effects of being a latch-key child differ with age. Loneliness, boredom and fear are most common for those younger than ten years of age. In the early teens, there is a greater susceptibility to peer pressure, potentially resulting in such behavior as smoking, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and Gang involvement. So, Latch-key-kids have the highest rate of being involved with criminality. With the media as their baby-sitter, they play ball, play video games, eat junk foods, and have the highest rates of involvement with gang /criminal influences, and opportunities.






The Desegregation Integration phenomenon was also a traumatic experience for many youth.




*We must encourage our own Gifted and talented to return to our neighborhoods. We can propose mixed-income housing. There are ways to receive a private education without extreme costs and to homeschool our children in a network.



"It Takes a Village to Raise a Child"

*We need to return to mixed-income housing in Afrikan American neighborhoods; where we promote our own manufacturing and production. As we model and employ diverse professions for our youth and encourage the recycling of our talents, dollars, and resources.

*We can cooperatively own our own Apartment complexes and neighborhoods and Intentional (Gated) communities.

* We must be the leaders of Green sustainable objectives, like recycling, Alternative building materials, and reduction and elimination of plastics, fossil fuels, and products.

*We must reinvigorate our Vocational/ Technical Arts. For instance, Every 18-year-old Afrikan American Young Adult can receive their own Real Estate and Insurance licenses along with their Voting Registration card and driver's license. Every child should have the right to farm. The right to grow their own foods and cultivate their own resources using a commonwealth of land, water, and forests...

*We can reinvigorate the construction contractor trades, to build our own communities and even towns to live in. *

*Paramedics, Firemen, and Security, like Barbers, are professions that do not require a college degree. 

*We can then move into our own Resource-Based Economies.

The Black community is still redlined by alien banks and insurance agencies who will not support Black businesses, provide loans for home improvements, and often don't cover insurance policies for death benefits, accidents, or burglaries... 

*We need our own Credit Unions and Black Insurance products





There are over 3500 Intentional Communities

These are places where people live together with shared resources and explicit common values
Including ecovillages, cohousing, land trusts, income-sharing communes, co-ops, and Faith-based/ spiritual communities.
Intentional Communities are a practical and viable way to successfully live together with dignity as people.

A Resource-Based Economy:

Sharing all ecological resources in a full community of goods and services. In order for an intentional community to work, you have to be fully committed to the idea. So they share their lives and finances; none owns any property in their own name, none receives a paycheck, stipend, or allowance, and membership is a lifetime commitment. By doing that, they have built a place where there are no rich or poor, where everyone is cared for, everyone belongs, and everyone can contribute.

A Gated Community:
  •  A form of residential community or housing estate containing strictly controlled entrances for pedestrians, bicycles, and automobiles, and often characterized by a closed perimeter of walls and fences. 

  • Homes in gated communities experienced 34 percent fewer burglaries than non-gated neighborhoods

Food Security

Growing our own non-GMO foods in locally-based areas, is imperative to wellness and security, reducing crime and criminality.  As Afrikan American neighborhoods regain control over our vital nutrition and mental healing of stresses, we can gain a fighting chance to become an independent community. 
Food insecurity across an entire community can lead to higher rates of health problems, including mental health, according to researchers. Long-term stress can increase suicides and confrontations that lead to gun violence. The scarcity of fresh and healthy food in communities is a critical public health issue. More than 80% of 911 calls are NOT POLICE CALLS. Most 911 calls are related to physical health. Afrikan Americans are dying more from High Blood pressure, Strokes, Heart Attacks, Diabetes, and Cancers than from Homicide! 


To be about the mission: to create a self-sustaining and economically beneficial food infrastructure for residents is essential. This measure sailed unopposed through the Missouri House’s Agricultural Policy Committee — a Republican-dominated body. No one from either party opposed the bill. Our Senator, Madame Barbara A Washington is on that Committee.

So, Community Policing is not just about interrupting acts of violence or preventing acts of violence, but it’s really about creating proactive change in the quality and progress of the lives of the individuals that are considered high-risk in our own communities. Essential wraparound services — such as mental and behavioral health, utility assistance, mortgage, and rental assistance, and food — are some of the things that a lot of people oftentimes take for granted and are really the key things that are necessary to change the environment for individuals and lower or eliminate crime and criminality.

Tribal Councils

To manage minor disputes- and preside in Court hearings over local non-violent disputes, Domestic Disputes, Like Neighbor conflict mediation, Child Custody, Divorces, restitution, and community services, Arbitration for Business disputes, etc.
*Promoting the Committee Men and Women, and Neighborhood Block captains and associations, along with Local community-based Attorneys, and Judges.

We Already Have Black Tribal leadership.


 Our Boule are tribes: Fraternities, Sororities, Masonic associations, Neighborhood and Community organizations, Black Medical Associations, Black Beauty businesses, Religious organizations, Street organizations, Motorcycle Clubs, Business Associations, Unions, High School Alma Maters, Family Reunions, etc. to name a few. 

We can employ more Neighborhood members as Non-Police responders for Health checks and Non-life threatening situations, to have their own Call Number (or 24-7 311 Referral) that can be distributed through our own local Neighborhood community stations for:

 *Training our own voluntary Firefighters, Paramedics, visiting nurses, clinics and. Hospitals.
*Our own Security and Private Police Patrols, Cameras, Safe-Houses, Safety Stations, and other Security services.

We are often confronted with disregard, disrespect, and disenfranchisement during any interaction with the "dominant society." In the honor of Marcus Garvey, We need our own. We need our own private sacred spaces. We need our own Amusement Parks, Our own, Movie theaters, Skating Rinks, Swimming Pools, Race Tracks, Sports Leagues and Arenas, Hotels, Beauty Products, Oil production, Shoestring and eyelet makers, Tires, E-Vehicles, furniture makers, Domestic products, Stoves, Refrigerators, Glass window makers, and Alternative building materials... 

Too often the dominant society will provide areas to corral Melinite peoples. a grocery store, for instance, built around the Afrikan American Community, is no different than tobacco, and liquor Convenience stores.  These stores are just gigantic vending machines of products that are not manufactured in the black community. Melinite people have been designated as the cash cows, of an alien society, and not the owners and controllers of their own destinies. We are still targeted and discouraged to shop in areas that we are residentially segregated from. We must be the producers and manufacturers of what we consume and use.

The Police Cannot Be Reformed

  • For more than a century, activists in the United States have tried to reform the police. From community policing initiatives to increasing diversity, none of it has stopped the police from killing about three people a day. Millions of people continue to protest police violence because these "solutions" do not match the problem: the police cannot be reformed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_abolition_movement
  • Becoming Abolitionists: Police, Protests, and the Pursuit of Freedom; by Purnell, Derecka states: “But the police were a placebo. Calling them felt like something, and something feels like everything when the other option seems like nothing."
I am not sharing a book report. I am speaking from my heart to leave a legacy for my Grandchildren, and my former students that have graduated from Kansas City Public schools. Together we can create something and everything for our families, Tribal affiliations, and community.

We must NEVER FORGET the struggle of the encounter with European invaders of the Americas who left a path of Enslavement, Genocide, Reconstruction Disenfranchisement, Jim Crow Laws, Sundown Laws, Segregation, Red Lining, Voter Suppression, KKK Domestic Terrorism, Lynching, The Devils Punch Bowl, Destruction of thriving and successful Black Economic Towns, Medical Segregation, Co-Intel-Pro, Heroin, Cocaine, Alcohol, Cigarettes, Mass Incarceration, Mis-Education-School-to-prison Pipeline. 

YES, WE CAN CHANGE THIS GENERATIONAL CURSE in the United States to LEAVE A LEGACY FOR OUR YOUTH!

Black Community Policing

September 3rd 2021

This is an open letter to the City Council and our Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, Law Professor Quinton Lucas, who boldly moved to engage in solutions to local control of police for our city and address the climate of racial Equity and justice for the African American community.

We give honor to the most High! We are the children of the Sun!




Afrikan Americans are descendants of the Original and Oldest People on the Planet, We are the Children of the Sun! We are a Global People, not only a continental people. As Ancient Melanin Rich People, we come from families with many diverse Ancestries, Philosophies, Languages, Cultures and Civilizations found all over the planet. We are also an ancient people right here in the continent of the Americas before colonialism by the United States. So our people did not begin with chattel enslavement in the United States. We have traveled and founded civilization on all of the continents using our own Nautical and Astronomical knowledge. Yes, we are workers, but we are also global contributors, Inventors, Scientists, Veterans, landowners, Farmers, Small Business Owners, Engineers, Astronomers, Authors, shipbuilders, Environmentalists, Teachers, Doctors, Counselors, Politicians, Ministers, Artists, and Athletes. Many of us still live right here in urban Kansas City areas. We Celebrate our own African American Holidays and we have our own value systems. Many still practice the 42 Virtues of Ma'at and The Nguzo Saba, a Swahili phrase that means 7 principles- of Unity, Self Determination, Collective Work, and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Creativity, Purpose, and Faith. Indigenous people of Afrikan and American Descent are not only Christian based in denominations, Hebrew, and/or Islamic, we also practice Ancient Eastern Afrikan and American Spiritual systems. We're are also members of Masonic orders, as well as members of Sororities and Fraternal orders.  So, we are a tribal society.




 We can look inside of our own community, our neighborhoods, and go within ourselves, to establish our own Black Community Policing Initiatives. This is Intentional Community*. We can customize our own approach for our own community, focusing clearly on our own cultural sensitivity and understanding, to provide quality service, support and security, that meets the unique needs of our diverse people. 

I propose that Afrikan Americans Become the "Gentry*" of Our Own Communities.

Paternally depending on people who represent policing, yet don't even choose to live around our elders, our children, our Mothers, and Fathers, and the most vulnerable, in our neighborhoods, yet have a negative, hyper-militarized, dehumanizing, condescending, alienating, aggressive, assimilationist, shoot-to-kill stance in racially profiling and stereotyping Afrikan Americans that they are supposed to serve and protect, is out of order.



So What does Black Community Policing look like?

  • Establishing our own *Neighborhood Tribal Councils by empowering our Neighborhood Associations- to manage minor disputes- and preside in Court hearings over non-violent disputes, Domestic Disputes, Like Neighbor conflict resolutions and mediations, Child Custody, Divorces, restitution, community services, and Arbitration for small Business disputes, etc.
    • *Promoting the Committee Men and Women, and Neighborhood Block captains to salaried contractors through Neighborhood Associations, to work along with Local community-based Attorneys, and Judges with the direct offices of the In-district and At-large City Council.
    • Establishing Neighborhood Safehouses that may be used for temporary shelter, Crisis Intervention, recipients of foster care and non-violent house arrest.
    • Establishing Freedom Schools, Homeschooling networks, weblinks, tutoring, Communivercity, and Cultural arts enrichment, Theater arts
    • Expanding and repurposing Churches and Schools as 24-hour- 365 Safe Harbors and safe zones. 
    • Utilizing 24 hour Daycare centers for emergency foster care recipients
    • Community Houseless support 
    • Establishing good samaritan support for Free transportation,- National Free Metro busses, and rail systems 
  • More Non-Police responders for Health checks and Non-life threatening situations, to have their own Call Number (or 24-7 311 Referral) that can be distributed through our own local Neighborhood community stations for:
  • Homelessness
  • Welfare Check-ins 
  • Defibrillators
  • Safe Spaces
  • Emergency foster care
  • Trespassing, loitering, disputes
  • Violence Interrupters/ peer intervention
  • Community Mediation
  • Mental Health Counseling 
  • AlAnon/ NarcAnon
  • Urban Farming 
  • Youth Crisis intervention,
  • Educational, and Tutoring
  • Recreational Activities
  • Sharing Food, Food pantry, Water supplies, winter clothes
  • Family Crisis Counseling
  • Health Testing
  • Rape/Assault
  • Car Accident Reports
  • Debt and bill assistance
  • Pet Retrieval
  • Storage and Borrowing of Recreation, safety equipment, and Exercise equipment like bicycles, helmets, Baseball gloves, Gardening tools
  • Property crimes Vandalism, Theft, Burglary, and other non-violent crimes
These stations can even receive Community Service, emergency Warming and cooling locations, Temporary Housing, and Diversion applicants





Black Community Policing also looks like:

  • *Grand Ma and Grand Pa Benches, and Community Safe houses, where we can Culturally Mentor, share Grief, Anxiety, Trauma, Domestic Parental and Relationship Advice, Health and Wellness, and Resource Information... Or JUST READ A STORY TO CHILDREN OR PLAY SOME UPLIFTING MUSIC...



We must take back ownership of our health and well-being. 

We Can Incorporate the Seven Principals (Nguzo Saba):

  1. Unity- Umoja
  2. Self Determination- Kujichagulia
  3. Collective Works and Responsibility- Ujima
  4. Cooperative Economics- Ujamaa
  5. Purpose-Nia
  6. Creativity-Kuumba
  7. Faith- Imani


Friendship Bench


Why I Teach Grandmothers About the Friendship Bench



*Farm-A-See Therapy -
Agro- Therapy for Veterans 



  • Adequate neighborhood training for block captains, in life support, CPR, the Heimlich Maneuver, self-defense, and violence interrupters
  • *Alternative Health Practice Doulas, Breast Milk Banks, Arissa Ankh (Reiki), Acupuncture, Capoeira, Martial Arts Defense Massage Therapy, Tai Chi, Yoga, Chiropractic, and Osteopathic medicine that would be covered by Insurance products...
  • Alternative Resources: Cooperative Food networks with Urban Agriculture; Solar Energy, Batteries, and generator system; Alternative Transportation and rideshare networks; Communal Communication, Internet, and media; Cooperative Water systems network, Homesteading supplies- Compost toilet systems; Recycling services
  • *Before and After School Safe Houses near every playground and School, for children, and 
  • *Sanctuary Zones for adults. Houseless comprehensive support, 
  • Access to WiFi-Internet and Laptops to end the digital divide 
  • *Neighborhood Assessment Patrols and Bike Patrolling units -For Street clean-up, Street Repair teams, Minor home Repair contractors, Using Section 3 Workers, and Local African American Contractors

What Community Policing Looks Like:

*Training our own local residents for voluntary Firefighters, Paramedics, and visiting nurses, Violence Interrupters, and Councilors.






*Our own Private Police Patrols, Cameras, and other Security services
Security is a collective responsibility. It simply means that it is my responsibility and your responsibility as local community members. It goes beyond personnel in Militarized uniforms. Our Security should not be a special duty of the City Police, National Guard, Armed Forces, FBI, or CIA, etc. These are human beings with special training but still can't adequately function without our partnership in the form of collaboration. It is this gap that Community Policing can fill.

*When requesting services for emergency/life-threatening situations, we also receive the arrival of our own African American local community service person. Our own Black Neighborhood members can replace CIO (Community Interaction Officer,) or CIT (Crisis Intervention Teams.) So, Life-Threatening, Emergency situations, & violent crimes in progress: 911 would still be Called.) 

Most 911 Calls are for Life-threatening HEALTH CALLS. It typically takes 10 additional minutes for paramedics to respond to calls In Black Communities nationally. Police do not perform life-threatening emergency responses like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The Fire departments are hostile to destroying and tearing down black-owned properties and neighborhood areas.


WHAT COMMUNITY POLICING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE! 
NO - NOPE - ROPE - HELLO! https://youtu.be/0sYOrnXTBL4


Our Youth are our future. We need to invest directly in our youth. YES, We can build African American-owned recreational outlets for our youth, Skating, Movie Theatres, Bowling, Arts Entertainment Auditoriums, Paintball, Racing Tracks, or even our own Sport competition franchises or arenas... Our Dollars used to recirculate multiple times within our own communities, Like the Greenwood District, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Rosewood, Florida. We must move from renting from a US Consumer system's tap that can easily be shut off. We must move to control our own resources... We must own our own Water, Food, Land, and Commercial Properties, as a society not as individuals- to be a nation... I am encouraging our Youth to get their education, and instead of leaving our neighborhoods, to return, to be homeowners, and Small business owners- To BE THE GENTRY! It Starts with the person in the mirror


We CAN have LOCAL CONTROL by policing ourselves! We CAN recirculate Black Dollars back into the Black Community and back into the pockets of our own people. Local Black Growers Farmer's Markets, Recycling initiatives, Repair services, Historical Restorations, Neighborhoods can Adopt the vacant lots on the block, Freedom school Networks, Theater, Debate Teams, Elders as Mentors, Story tellers, Our own skating rinks, Movie theaters, Chess competitions, Choirs, Baking, and Bar-B-Q completions, Foreign exchange Students, African Languages, Mental Health Alternative health


I am be steadfast and dedicated in the creation and development of Indigo Afrikan American institutions for a long time.  Many, are Unsung. 
I wish to express a vision of Afrikan American empowerment through building organizations, institutions, and foundations that work in OUR best interests. This is needed now more than ever. 
WE CAN DO THIS OURSELVES! 

Young people need to see a better world. When they walk through their neighborhoods and see our institutions, other than churches and  liquor stores, such as independent schools, healing centers, spiritual centers, cooperative businesses, our own grocery stores with organic vegetables, Seniors and Disabled incorporated with our families and Neighborhoods, our Men and women working responsibly, cultural art and entertainment centers, movie theaters, skating rinks, cooperative housing,  cooperative credit unions, urban agricultural projects, food collectives, childcare centers, everthing a community needs to empower itself, they become empowered. They have an increased sense of "self" and "place" enhanced by seeing concrete examples of "do for self."

We don't have to take over the United States.
We just have to take over ourselves and our communities and the "State"- will wither away...

What happened to Ministers of Peace and Guardians? What happened to Charging someone with a violation and Reading the Maranda Rights? What happened to the Innocent until proven guilty and trial by a jury of their peers? The term policing is an egregious scar for Afrikan Americans. U.S. Policing began with Militias, Slave Patrols, and Bounty hunters.




 "The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of terror and squash slave uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners. Tactics included the use of excessive force to control and produce desired slave behavior."

By the 1900s, local municipalities began to establish police departments to enforce local laws in the East and Midwest, including Jim Crow laws. Local municipalities leaned on police to enforce and exert excessive brutality on African Americans who violated any Jim Crow law. Jim Crow Laws continued through the end of the 1960s.

"The crisis in policing is the culmination of a thousand other failures — failures of education, social services, public health, gun regulation, criminal justice, and economic development."

The New Yorker, July 13, 2020



Here are things that 911 Police Calls are not coming out in the field for in Kansas City RIGHT NOW!

Mental Health Crisis intervention
Homelessness
Drug intervention
Burglaries 
Rapes
Car Accidents Reports


So, What does Community Policing Look like for African Americans? These are the highlights:
*Neighborhood Peer intervention Patrols, 
*Grand Ma and Grand Pa Friendship Benches for mental and physical health consultations, 
*Urban Farming, Agro-Therapy, 
*More Neighborhood Safehouses, 
*Proactive Neighborhood Associations, 
*Paid and engaged Committee Men and Women, 
*Naturopathic and Alternative Healing, 
*Recycling and Environmental work Groups and patrols, 
*Neighborhood Security systems...

*We need our own Intentional Communities! 

An intentional community is a planned residential community designed from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. The members of an intentional community typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision... Wikipedia

Yes We can use our own Nguzo Saba- Kujichagulia (Self Determination) to provide for ourselves, RIGHT NOW! We can Be the Gentry, to hire our own private police officers who come from our neighborhoods and/or are willing to continue to live with us and support our neighborhoods, offer respect and dignity to our people, come to support and be a part of our weddings, baby showers, ball games, attend and support our children's schools, attend our Bar-B-Qs, bring their children and spouses around our children and spouses... For that matter, We also need our own African American Doctors, Nurses, Fire departments, Ambulance, Hospitals, Teachers, Schools, and especially production and manufacturing business owners, to return to our communities! 

We also need Alien businesses to establish themselves in their own communities. 

Alien Business Owners that prey on our neighborhoods, set up smoke and liquor stores, beauty stores, manicure salons, overpriced convenience stores, and the like, who choose to shoot-to-kill black-skinned customers, harass us like thieves, and who do not support or re-invest in our financial success, is out of order.

EVERY TIME PEOPLE OF AFRIKAN DESCENT BUILT SUCCESSFUL PROSPEROUS BLACK ECONOMIC COMMUNITIES in the US -OUR PEOPLE WERE DESTROYED! The First Planes and the first bombs that were made in the U.S. WERE DROPPED ON AFRIKAN AMERICANS! THAT IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM!

Yet, Our families were lynched off of our own lands, and we endured Jim Crow Laws and Separate-But-Equal segregation like we were living in a concentration camp.


We are still vilifying African American people for Black-on-Black Killing, coming out of COVID-19 quarantine, yet we are afraid to design and build our own safe and sustainable housing, Commercial centers, and recreational activity spaces for our own people...

Our Gifted and talented are still encouraged to leave our community instead of being the gentry...

We have NO BLACK owned Hotels, Amusement/Entertainment centers/parks, skating rinks,
Organic community-owned Grocery stores and vendors, or sufficient Black-owned Eldercare Centers, or Centers for the Disabled.






Yet we are still confining our children to "Get out of the "Ghetto"" to work on jobs, to inwealthen someone else's community, or remain in a low-income consumer base group, since desegregation from Jim Crow Laws... the 13th Amendment, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws, and Redlining WERE LEGALLY BINDING LAWS in the U.S.! They were created as a backlash against the Emancipation Proclamation, and a set-up for African Americans to be Menial laborers in the Reconstruction of the U.S. after the Civil War instead of Land Owners, Business owners, Resource owners and Developers.
We must rise above fear... And fear tactics...

African American Youth have been vilified for going to the Country Club Plaza, Power and Light District, or Westport shopping and entertainment areas, because these areas are considered as tourist attraction sites. Black youth are then moving targets, attacked by Caucasian Police for dress codes, and automotive code violations when they return home from attending Skating rinks or movie theaters outside of our community. Black Developers are afraid to build their own amusement parks, concert and athletics centers, like skating rinks, and Bowling alleys within their own communities because we are afraid that someone might bring a gun and shoot... Must the majority always suffer for the few!?- this sounds like a fear-based illogical rationale... 

Right now, 
on the 18th and Vine Jazz district in Kansas City, there are many historical structures that are dilapidated and falling down, yet there are residents, who have discouraged African American Contractors and business development because "they will make too much noise during construction"...
We have wasted so much time infighting, while the funding delegated to our neighborhoods ate diverted to the power and "Light" District!

*As we indict each other publicly, over "Black on Black" killing, this negative messaging only promotes a depressing, paralyzing, and reluctant false narrative to our people. 

1. ANY Nationality kills themselves domestically, more than anyone else. 

2. STOP THE KILLING - PUT DOWN THE FORKS! More African Americans are dying from Food Deserts where there are a few high priced Grocery stores with no organic foods from local farmers, and plenty of liquor, tobacco, junk convenience stores, and Fast Food eateries, with low nutrition. These food businesses target the poor with poor nutrition. Then these stores take Black Dollars, and like bandits, they do not recirculate the money back into the community that they target. This is Food racism! Thes stores practice Skimp-flation where they lower the volume of product in the package while charging the same price RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES THEY HAVE DOUBLED THE PRICES ON PRODUCTS! THIS IS CORPORATE GRAND THEFT! 




More Afrikan Americans are dying from the big 5 nutrition and stress-related illnesses (Heart Attack, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Cancers, BEFORE homicide! So, we do not have the complete statistics of ALL deaths of Afrikan Americans in Kansas City.








So, who are the people with "violent behavior"? What are their habits? How can we dispel the causes of rage, wrath, anger, grief, despair, neglect, poverty, homelessness, hunger, drug abuse, theft, human trafficking, and yes, RACISM/white supremacy, etc.? "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places"

How can we end the production and manufacturing of illicit drugs that are coming from the sources of Mexico, Iran, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc., with Corporate entities, and corrupt individuals that link with the human trafficking of child soldiers who are established, with weapons "provided" to protect these illegal drugs? How do we end Human trafficking, that exploits the urban core?

We must NOT be afraid to establish our own community policing.
