When you tell people Michael Jackson was Crip affiliated they think you’re tripping until you start unpacking the evidence. Image It’s been right in front of your faces the entire time. We know for a fact he had real LA Crips in two of his music videos. He even had a song he wrote his damn self called “Blue Gangster” but it didn’t drop til he passed away. Image

STL dudes who stood on the sidelines while the pigs occupied North County in 2014-- think we're saying we from "Ferguson" geographically. Incorrect but we did spend 300 days outside in a stand off against law enforcement. Theres Ferguson the township and Ferguson the Uprising. The media don't know the difference but we do. Plus on a bad day you can't tell the difference between Ferguson and Dellwood.. Either way it goes. However you wanna define it we stood on the front line for North St.Louis County.

Y’all really don’t wanna do this with me.I’m from the Lou for real. I’m not a transplant. The Veiled Prophet Society is a direct derivative of the Missouri Ku Klux Klan. FBI even once believed they were involved in the MLK assassination. Play with ya Mama. I know the history. East St.Louis riots July 3, 1917.
300 BLK ppl murdered. The VP was started in 1878. Our city’s annual July 4th celebration used to be named the Veiled Prophet Fair. They changed the name to Fair St.Louis but they still fund it. They’re not celebrating Independence Day folks.

In North County during the Fourth of July season you prob shouldn’t drive at night because we can’t tell the difference between gunshots and fireworks. A bomb just shook my entire house. Mind you a car ran into my house on Valentines Day. I wonder does @sampage neighborhood sound like this?? It’s Baghdad in Hathaway Manor. Absolutely not safe. Streets tore up and now explosives and gun shots every night til atleast July 29th. I really don’t know why we bothering voting at this point.

Whole lotta hotep hustling going on from men who have no real skin the game. No Losses, no relationships which require growth in perspective, whole lotta checks being cashed, whole lotta talk about about economics, whole lotta bullshit about mobilizing. Zero organizing against the material conditions, whole lotta capitalism, whole lotta pretentious "knowledge". Whole lotta lets take a picture "Tef", very little this what I got towards our collective liberation. Hotep Hustling.

At this point the police have completely lost control of the streets of St.Louis. If the job is public safety? That’s your excuse for continual funding? Well damnit ain’t nobody safe so fire everybody. Including the mayor who has been asked to resign by her own constituents. We have a mayor who won by merely 800 votes. Getting more votes doesn’t mean you’re the candidate we democratically elected. It means you strategically planted yourself inside a divided house. The difference between a true democratic success story and legally stealing the seat.

In St.Louis "sex workers" include those young boys y'all got running tricks for the rich white men in the central west end. Coffee Cartel used to be a hub for lil dudes that were out here basically being sex trafficked by older men. Nobody talks about it though. Also the young girls on the southside running tricks on the party lines. Basically himmed up in a series of cribs 2 blocks over from the Blank Space. $35 a pop for head. Older family members got them working straight shifts. Obligated to pull dates off the party lines 24-7.

Imagine if me and my homeboys stormed the state capitol telling the media the New World Order is coming? Imagine if we took to the streets with our guns and demanded they let us go back to work? We call it hotep, they call it infowarz. Your president calls it real news. White people are getting away with utter complete lunacy in this country. It's nothing new.

The first time I was arrested they took me to Central. A black cop locked me up for absolutely nothing. This week I’ve been in meeting after meeting about turning this abandoned Police Station into a Music Academy equipped w/studios, rehearsal spaces and art galleries. The building is basically a bomb shelter.But it’s been abandoned since 1990 for the most part. I’m letting God lead us on this one. 19,000 square ft of liberated land formerly used to incarcerate and imprison Black People in St.Louis. The community will build its own compound.

Late 90’s early 2000’s Democrats propelled Mass Incarceration to new heights and sadly enough many blk voting block organizers today really don’t hold them accountable for these receipts. I’d argue this is because of classism within our own movement. It’s hard to attack individuals you didn’t grow up vilifying as a middle class individual.The entire Clinton political dynasty from Hilary to Al Gore completely criminalized low income blk individuals. Growing up every male in my life besides my mothers husband went to prison.

They’re asking teachers to become an extension of law enforcement. So does this request not once again prove that American law enforcement is actually a failed institution and needs to be re-evaluated? Teachers shouldn't have to arm themselves in the name of taking kill shots in the classroom.
