WAR OF THE WORLDS ( IN THE HOOD! ).

by Webmaster
Martian War Machine lifts from pit in War Of The Worlds by George Pal


Crack is the looming unearthly invader in my life as someone raised in a the inner city BC ( Before Crack ).
Crack transformed my neighborhood into a ” Hood ” with all that entails. We devolved from a Southern-fried version of the Cosby Show to an all Black real life production of Escape From New York, which cast me in the improbable role  of Snake Plissken ( LOL ).

I can’t forgive crack dealers for the humanity they stole from my neighborhood. Like literal scenes from a George Romero zombie movie furniture began vanishing from porches so frequently they had to either be brought in or with my grand parents chained to the porch railing.

Crack heads began wondering the streets like the famed director’s undead nit looking for people to eat but rocks to smoke with equal vigor.
All the horror and science fiction movies I watched with my grandfather were prequels to this bleak new reality for Inner City America.
I compare the roll call of cities hit by Soviet missiles in the movie Damnation Alley to those crack ravaged from the 80s forward.

The Martians and nameless aliens in Independence Day were more merciful: they offered extinction level death ray assault with explanation or mercy.

Crack dealers prefer slow motion attrition so they can profit for decades off addicts  hungry for what’s destroying them.
Mutants in the original Planet of The Apes series at least got telekinetic powers in exchange for radiation deformed bodies.


In real life crack heads only got whatever flights of fancy each hit lauches inside brains and bodies wasting away before their wide glassy eyes.
I’m one of those who watched this erupt around him- just like in a Romero zombie. I fought it back home and anywhere else!

One day life proceeds as normal until an invisible  point of no return is crossed without warning… or mercy!!!
So far, the War of the Worlds within Inner City America has the invaders and zombies winning.
I am legend perhaps?
A man wearing leather clothes and holding a rifle walks alongside a dog on an empty street. A destroyed bridge is seen in the background. Atop the image is "Will Smith" and the tagline "The last man on Earth is not alone". Below is the film's title and credits.

Not hardy.
Like Enoch the intelligent lizard man from the original Land of The Lost TV series,
Land of the Lost - The Complete First Season

I’m cursed/blessed ( take your pick ) to remember what the Hood was like before a real life war of The World hit it.
As a caretaker of a lost culture of dignity and hope all I can do is fight the Good Fight; champion these values and find others who practice the same.
That’s my report as a remnant of the Hood before a literal War of the Worlds conquered it!

We owe the Freedom Riders; Dr King:  Malcolm X and our generations an apology if we let crack dealers; crack heads; thug culture i.e. chocolate Klansmen erase all we fought to institute.
In the TV series ” V” mankind took up arms against their invaders.


In the Hood we can’t even get on television and denounce them for the low lives they are.

George W Bush & RLSH: Unlikely Parallels

by Webmaster
Nadra Enzi
Mr Beckwith, 78, was a retired New York fireman who travelled to Ground Zero to help with the rescue operation. He was pictured with George W Bush on a pile of rubble on September 14. He lives in Baldwin, New York, with his wife. While writing about how both the former Bush Administration and the public missed a golden opportunity to revitalize civic participation in crime prevention and homeland security the following eureka moment happened:

” What if the growth of the media-dubbed ‘ real life superhero ( RLSH )’ movement was a response to absent roles offered to concerned citizens after 9/11? “Observers note how September 11th spurred quantum growth in creative activism. On a personal note my ” Capt Black ” activist title was born in 2008 as a response to needing to do something extra about crime and domestic issues.RLSH take their good intentions; imagination and limited budgets ( lol ) to America’s streets to inspire fellow citizens to get more involved instead of waiting for someone else to handle problems.The relative lack of helping opportunities may have helped catalyze this unusual interpretation of civic duty!Non-partisan, RLSH focus on the essence of helping others instead of ideological sparring. That’s not to say some aren’t politically active, myself included.Political advocacy has its place but primarily ” real life superheroes ” focus on crime prevention and humanitarian outreach which is to our enduring credit.
It’s too easy to get bogged down in bickering as even I as a politically active RLSH will be the first to admit.
President George W. Bush obviously didn’t think his September 14th, 2001 Ground Zero speech would unleash costumed crusaders nor even prompt costume-optional ones like me ( lol ).
The fact that this happened is something liberty lovers on all sides of the aisle should celebrate. The most unlikely parallel between George W. Bush and real life superheroes is we took his call to action and ran with it in ways that challenge conventional wisdom to this day.
Isn’t that what free people should do in times of crisis great and small?

TAKE "CAPE" OFF OBAMA!

by Webmaster
The Many Superhero Faces of Barack Obama
 
Black folks need to take the cape off President Obama and try one on for size ourselves!

Warning: this isn’t an anti-Obama rant; far from it! It’s a call to action for a community that has had to save itself as opposed to awaiting political help from on high.
Things are so bad ( Black male unemployment alone is at a 40 year high! ); morale so low and prospects so bleak that Black folks need to “suit up” and creatively tackle this Depression. 
I’m not preaching separatism by the way- I’m preaching survival! On an integrationist note the moans and groans figuratively heard across town are our White country men suffering too.
My fevered imagination pictures two limping figures holding onto each other hobbling toward the sunset- one t-shirt reads, “Black Power?”; the other, ” White Privilege? ” each agreeing they’ve seen much better days. Against this backdrop, the old animosities are luxuries we can ill afford.
On the plus side “superhero” mindsets often  emerge from periods of unrelenting mass misery. That said, the Hood should already resemble Gotham City, awash with crusaders and self-appointed knights jousting a misery index swelling to gargantuan proportions. 
Our unsolved crime rate; our chronic life style mortality and other issues are to critical to accept thinking the president is going to swoop down from the sky to save the Hood or Black America period!
Turning this tide around on our own offers the country a model for recovery that doesn’t bust budgets nor gut entitlements.
There are Black folks who’ve been wearing the “cape” of community uplift for awhile. I’m just trying to increase their ranks.
Sisters, brothers- take the cape off Obama and try it on for size where you live!

Ballistic Politics

by Webmaster

car0358The Arizona political shootings offer an opportunity for the Administration to either defend free speech ( including that which it bitterly opposes) or criminalize it using this event as a pretext.
Any president would be sorely tempted to brand his foes enemies of the state and history tells at least several did.
I’m being intentionally vague because enough gasoline is hitting this particular fire without by brand of high octane propellant. Folks with impulse control problems on all sides of the issue don’t need more provocation to go postal.
Conservatives wonder when the speech codes will be unveiled? Conspiracy theorists on that side expect government surveillance and dirty tricks to exceed Nixon in the wake of this attempted assassination of a sitting Congress woman and murder of a Chief federal District judge among others.
As a security person and political observer I think we need to recognize the pressure cooker of the last few years is causing some to reach their boiling point. That doesn’t mean that prevailing conditions; talking heads or policy makers can automatically be blamed when these eruptions occur, but they are mitigating factors. Study and preemptive action may head off some of these tragedies.
Ballistic politics are occasions when we need to look closely at just how much we believe free speech is worth. In some instances the price can be life itself.
