Root Causes of Gun Violence In Virginia

GMW our effort to eradicate gun violence is beginning in the state of Virginia because, Gun Violence is only the “Tip of The Iceberg “ of the tragic and dire consequences surrounding  the proliferation of guns in Virginia, disproportionately on black and brown people. 

The majority of Virginians support common-sense gun violence prevention policies.

The attempt of so many Americans perpetuating the myth that “black and brown lives don’t  matter.†CRT: Is the great fear many Americans have of our history, or is it a guilty conscious.

The first Slave Ship entered Virginia In late August, 1619; 20-30 enslaved Africans landed at Point Comfort, today’s Fort Monroe in Hampton, Va., aboard the English privateer ship White Lion.  Several days later, a second ship (Treasurer) arrived in Virginia with additional enslaved Africans. They are the first recorded Africans to arrive in England’s mainland American colonies. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

PILGRIM AND SLAVE : AMERICAN HISTORY!!!

Mayflower anchored in Plymouth Harbor on Dec. 18, 1620. More than 30 million people can trace their ancestry to the 102 passengers and approximately 30 crew aboard the Mayflower when it landed. In August 1619 20-30 Africans arrived on board the White Lion, and several days later additional Africans arrived on the (Treasurer).

The psychological damage, the IMPACT of slavery has on one group, and the fear of retribution from the slave-holder has created a culture of fear and miss-trust. Where now, both sides need Guns to protect themselves from each other. This just one of the major block of the iceberg. 

Today gun are more readily available in communities of color than fresh-fruits. But the opioid problem devastating the white communities is being treated as a mental health problem, with solutions being found daily to stem the opioid impact. 

But, sensible gun laws seems to be an impossible task to accomplish. Assault Weapons are legal for one reason: KILLING LOTS OF PEOPLE at one time. But banning those weapons seems to be a daunting task.

Our Children Are Hurting; THE VIOLENCE, IS KILLING THEM:  

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

MENTALLY, EMOTIONALLY, SPIRITUALLY and Finally, PHYSICALLY-Taking Their Lives. THEY NEED TO KNOW, â€œWE SEE THEM, WE HEAR THEM, WE CAN PROTECT THEM And SHOW THEM WE CARE.

For those who need our vote,  We need their support

To all Virginians: The 140 seats in our General Assembly is up for election this November 7, 2023.  In order for these Acts Of Barbarity to change, we need all 140 members to support this  endeavor.

We Have The Power: Our Vote, Our Dollars, Our God and Our Love.

We’re preparing to put our Power behind candidates addressing our issues, and is ready to implement Legislation to achieve our Mission and Vision.

Glenn Youngkin’s  Conservatism:


OK:Grandmothers, Mothers and Women (GMW) of VA. We turned Virginia blue in 2016. For the betterment of all Virginians. We need to do it again, in 2023. Because:

Glenn Youngkin’s Agenda for Virginia Is: A down-Low-Under-Cover version of Ron DeSantis of Fl. , Greg Abbott of Tx.,And #45 MAGA.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
The GOP won’t support sweeping voting rights?

In Virginia, the whole General-assembly, 140 seats are  up for re-election in 2023, Gov. Glenn Youngkin, A Republican, has decided that his administration will choose which Virginians convicted of felonies should be allowed to vote.

Why is voting still an issue in 2023? Because, that’s how valuable our vote is!!! People of Color Your Vote is: Black Gold. Spend It Wisely…

As we witness a racial reckoning in real time across the state — including school systems in Fairfax, Prince William and elsewhere taking action — in Hanover County leaders continue clinging to racist history by blatantly ignoring thousands of residents urging them, for years now, to rename Lee-Davis High School and Stonewall Jackson Middle School.

It doesn’t take a whole lot of sense, to understand why Black students are discouraged and distracted by school names and mascots that glorify the racist traitors who fought and died for the right to enslave Black people, perhaps even some of their ancestors. What it does take is empathy, compassion and a willingness to change.

His Tongue had to be surgically remove. 

Qualified, Immunity HAS TO GO: Nationally; for local implementation.

POLICE-BRUTAL ITY

Young Black Man beaten and shot in the mouth while handcuffed; By 6 Miss. white police officer; His Tongue had to be surgically remove. 

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.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
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!!!

 No Teaching of African American  History before 1970. Institutional Racism.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
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.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Taylor Callery for The Chronicle Review

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.

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.

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
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…

FOR Florida’s Governor:   Ron DeSantis. Just To Keep It Simple, This Is what Our History Looks Like… NOT: European, Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, Canadian or Russian. Please watch the Super Bowl next Sunday, and see history being made again.

There’s A Deep Tradition Behind Wearing Your Sunday Best!!!

According to Anthony Penn, Professor, of humanities and professor of religious studies at Rice University; And, the editor of “black religion and aesthetics.â€

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
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.

Sunday Best

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.

QUALIFIED IMMUNITY

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.

SCAPEGOATING A SUPERINTENDENTS WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE IS RIDICULOUS!!!

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Plus Watch A 1st Grader

To NPN School Board: The state of Virginia in particular and the Nation in general we know that, “Firing a superintend because a parent allowed her six-year-old to leave home with a gun in his backpack, and school personnel not find it, is RIDICULOUS! 

Is the superintendent and the school supposed to check the backpack of every 1st grader entering the school without cause? If any of you so call Authority figures ask yourself, “How would I handle a 1st grader entering school under normal conditions, ‘ would I have to search all of them for no reason? The child goes from his parent to his teacher. The first two (2) people to interact with the child on a personal level, both fail the Adult Test.

The parent should have checked her child, and the teacher should have react as soon as she discovered the gun. By not doing so, she endangered herself and her students. And for this, A Superintendent loses his job (NPN School Board-BYE). You appear as ineffective, with no backbone, as Kevin McCarthy, no principles and commonsense, poor judgment and a totally lack of  integrity, (in this case) as Kevin McCarthy; The new majority speaker of the House. 

A red, white and blue elephant with stars on it's head.
Parent Accountability

If That’s your solution for solving Gun Violence in our school, each of you should turn your mirrors to the wall, And Resign. Then Mayors, Governors and The POTUS should all be fired or impeached! For the amount of Gun Violence in our schools, cities, state and nation.

No wonder Children are so confused with conflict resolution, because as adults who is supposed to mirror, common sense, logic, principles and integrity; exhibited none of those qualities in dealing with the issue of the six-year-old with a gun. And, you have the audacity to feel justified, in firing an innocent superintend who served your school district effectively for five years); for something he had no control over. 

In My Personal Opinion, “that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve encountered, from professionals Charged with executing, fair, Just and logical solutions under their authority. It was a race-base decision, based on pressure from a higher authority, if you ask me. To all Virginians, “if blatant injustice rub-you the wrong-way, let NPN School Board know how you feel.â€

Speaking of, ‘The Speaker of the House,’ and our Debt Ceiling under discussion now,  â€œ to Hakeem Jeffries, minority leader,†we do not wish to see you sacrifice any social programs for Kevin McCarthy to appear he has some background at our expense. We haven’t forgotten, “Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi allowed DACA to be taken off the table under Donald Trump,†for nothing in return. So Democrats, don’t sell us out. Social medias don’t hold back on your opinions now, it’s time to use your voice.
