When it feels like life is falling apart, our hearts hurt, and our emotions are raw. Read more for a Biblical perspective so you can face challenges.
Can't say that I'm surprised... We've seen it happen time and time again. Hell, I've seen it happen in my own hometown too many times to count. Cop shoots Black/Latino person...DA takes it to the Grand Jury...cops get off scott free. Hell, I remember the Rodney King beating case, and you had video evidence of the cops wrongdoing, and they STILL got off. I'm basically going to reiterate what I've said before in this blog... Forget the nonviolent marching crap. They don't care about us marching. It doesn't phase them, nor impress them. What we need to do, is start practicing SELF DEFENSE!!! This is going to continue to happen because they know that there will be no consequences for their actions; not by the legal system, nor by our community. There is no trust there because THEY'VE NEVER EARNED IT!!! Just because you wear a uniform DOES NOT mean you are to be automatically respected (if not, feared). Again...to echo the ancestor El Hajj Malik El Shabazz: "When you tell your people to stop being violent towards my people...then I will tell my people to put their guns away." Even during the Civil Rights Movement, MANY who were actively involved in the movement questioned the use of nonviolence. Marching and protesting have their time and place; THIS AIN'T IT. These are not isolated incidences that occur; this is something that happens systemically in our communities TO US. The only way that it'll stop, is if we FORCE them to stop. You had the Deacons For Defense & Justice, the Black Panther Party For Self Defense, Black Liberation Army, Universal Africa Legion through the UNIA, and a few other formations that existed. Hell, even the ANC had their paramilitary wing, the Umkhonto weSiswe (MK). NOT having a defense stance is stupid. It shows that you know nothing about history, nor about political strategy. What we need is real unity, organization and direction, for proper mobilization of our people. WE know our neighborhoods better than they do; that gives us the tactical military advantage. A well organized resistance is the scariest thing in the face of an enemy. "The single best weapon our enemy has, is a lack of consciousness among our people"--Osageyfo Kwame Nkrumah.

“Peace Flag” is an 11x17 (3400x2400 1.3 Mb) digital print. Done in colored pencil by me (David Hartman). The original was STOLEN!!! Or maybe lost or both. “Peace Flag” is about unity and strength specific to my country of origin, an oversight of any form of prejudice, and the price of peace: the dog tags read “MIA” and “POW”. To be effective, the event of peace needs to be realized by all; unfortunately that doesn’t happen and the need for a strong military has resulted in ultimate sacrifice. None are immune. I drew this also as a play with shadows of irregular objects over irregular objects; I like those perspectives.
