JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi authorities said Wednesday they’re investigating sheriff’s deputies involved in the shooting of a Black man who was hospitalized for nearly three weeks after being wounded last month in the late-night raid of a home. They found nothing. They were accusing the owner of the house, with selling drugs and dating white women.

Grandmothers, Mothers, and Women. (GMW), We along, with All decent Elected Official, Needs to hold those GOP and some Blue-Dog democrats, with condoning police brutality. Because, if you’re not apart of the solution, then you’re part of the problem. They can easily ban books, African American History and women rights. But, Don’t touch assault weapons and so-call 2nd amendment rights. The founding fathers had no idea of assault weapons.

GMW in particular and all people of color in General, we have to be just as angry about our young men killing each other.

Black Men Killing Each Other

Grassroots’ Alternatives to Violence:

  1. Empowering our neighborhoods to provide better opportunities in educational, economics, health-care and accessible transportation.
  2. Eradicating the underground economy of drugs, guns and other nefarious behaviors in so many of our urban communities, so it doesn’t have an opportunity to flourish. 
  3. Ensuring that our urban communities provide safe recreational facilities for our children that are conducive to their development and socialization from 2:00 pm to -8:00 pm Mondays through Fridays.
  4. Maintaining clean schools and neighborhoods, shows our children that we care.

GMW is aware that the structural cause of violence is poverty, unemployment, and insufficient education.

A. The Collaborative Forces needed to accomplish the above issues are:

  1. Parents
  2. Guardians
  3. Schools
  4. Faith and community based organizations
  5. City Government and reformed X-offenders.

Youth that are most likely to be involved in gun violence need to be specifically identified and target. Life skills opportunities should be provided for extremely: difficult to serve youth and young adults:

THIS IS OUR CHARGE!!!

African-American culture

Grandmothers Mothers and Women (GMW), The TAPESTRY of True American History Means:  Weaving together Past, Presence and Future.

African Americans are largely the descendants of enslaved people who were brought from their African homelands by force to work in the New World. Their rights were severely limited, and they were long denied a rightful share in the economic, social, and political progress of the United States.

Conservative Americans are losing their minds in their efforts to only talk about American history that does not show how cruel One human being was capable of treating another. But, it happened and there’s nothing they can do to erase it.

So, Institutional racism, is the norm, rooted in societies history. It’s also known as systemic racism,  a form of racism that is embedded in the laws and regulations of a society or an organization. It manifests as discrimination in areas, such as criminal justice, employment, housing, health care, education and political representation. The term institutional racism was first coined in 1967 by Stokely, Carmichael and Charles V Hamilton, in black power, the politics of liberation.

Over 200 hundred  students at a Tuscaloosa, Ala., high school walk out of school in protest of being told they could not talk about American  or Blacks contributions to American  History before 1970.

Truman McCollom , a young Black man tased in an ambulance 6  times by  Killeen, Tx., Police  Officers , after having a seizure in his car at Burger King. He crashed  his car, deploying both air bags.

Our police officers don’t need more training, just being held accountable for their behavior. Get rid of qualified immunity. And see how fast the Blue  culture changes.

GMW we must be about the changes we want for our future, and the future of our children. economically , socially , and politically.

Sarah Huckabee

Your GOP Response to the President’s Union address:

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
This is the President whose name Sarah couldn’t mention?

You sound  as if you were condemning  Donald Trump. The man who tried to overthrow our government. Because, your party has an unusual view of what democracy is all about.

Mrs. Huckabee, alternative truth is no longer valid in our political Arenas, you are no Press  Secretary where alternative truths was allowed. We need Bipartisan leadership.  You and Marjorie Taylor-Green has a very distorted view of what leadership looks like.

Biden was fantastic, he spoke to the United States of America. Now it’s up to Kevin McCarthy to lead his House Majority, and control his radical members who has no idea  of what’s serving the people of these United States of America is.

So America let’s get behind our president: Abolishing Qualified Immunity on a national level. So each of us can make sure our states and local police deal with the culture of the  Blue Shield. Protecting Good police-officers from  the retaliation of standing up for truth and good policing.

Mrs Taylor-Green

Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW) each of us has an obligation to make sure, we take full-responsibility for helping stop the violence in our neighborhoods and communities. Our children and our way of life is more important than Guns.

I’m sending my response to the Governor of Arkansas, hoping she helps the GOP define their agenda for the American people, independent of Marjorie Taylor-Green and her group.

Black History Trivia…

I Would Want CRT Too

Racist stereotypes that originated with the enslavement, rape, torture, and forced labour of Africans Americans have long painted Black people as smelly and unkempt. Thus, Black parents were always committed to their children being presentable before the world: a sign that nothing was amiss in the household, that their children were loved and looked after.

It was a way of life and often the difference between life and living well.  In the hight of slavery clothing was important and many slaves were dressed in clothes made from flax and hemp. If they were valued, they were given cloth to make clothes or given one set of cloths twice a year depending on the quality. 

You could tell if you were Free or still in bondage by the clothes on your back. To that end, many people kept their ‘best clothes to socialise on the day off which was usually Sunday when their Master let then rest or attend church.

Historically, the visibility of black bodies, or black bodies taking up time and space, could be dangerous, “think of lynching’s and mob violence, during which, what was preferred was the invisibility of black bodies.  Black worship service became an expression that spoke for the visibility and importance of black bodies within the dominant social context.

Also Pinn added, “ testimony from former  slaves who argued that during the course of the week, The clothing and presentation was meant to present their bodies as a tool for the benefit of others. But, doing black worship service these former slaves testified they were able to alter that understanding of their bodies visually by changing their clothes.

From earlier on the churches was a space in which African-Americans connected to the divine, and to each other, in ways that allow them to rethink and reimagine created in God’s and their relationship to the nation.

Their Bodied A Living Text

For the first several hundred years of African-American presence in North America, they were denied systemic access to the written word. They would have to think of ways of expressing themselves and proclaiming their importance in-none written ways. They showed and sang their important. Their bodies became a living text.

Grandmothers Mothers and Women (Gmw) Our Mission in 2023 is: Amend or abolish Qualified immunity, and make sure February’s Black History Extends to the other 11 months as American history.
