Much has been left out of the reality of what is means to be Black in America. The serious issue of the sheer number of innocent Black men, women, and/or their children:
  • Jailed without just cause.
  • Killed without just cause.
  • Who have had property taken from them or destroyed by agents and officials of government without just cause.
  • Who have had their families broken up without just cause.
The many Black men, women, and/or children who have played by the rules, who have abiding by the law, who have been ruined by the atrocities of government all while the typical Black leaders, the Black middleclass remain silent.

Furthermore, in communities Black people hold policy making positions, the community has become more dangerous. For example just here recently, two men have been killed by Inglewood police officers, and the incompetence Inglewood Police chief Seabrooks, a Black women. The second of the two men killed was killed as result of this Police Chief Seabrooks allowing an officer involved in killing of the first Black male of the two, to return to police duty before the investigation was complete, which resulted in the death of a second innocent Black male by the same rogue police officer.

Sincerely,
Michael Lofton
