Black boys officially sabotaged and people think it’s cute: Watch this sick video

by: Dr. Samori Swygert

In the most disgusting, disrespectful, feminizing display of the degradation of black male character, we have sunk to a new low. My friend showed me one of the most saddest videos yesterday.

People always want to act like there isn’t a deliberate, intentional, and malicious attempt to sabotage the masculinity of black males these days. I’ve grown tired of the acceptance of bad behavior masquerading as fashionable contemporary expression.  This stuff is killing our community.  I’m here to tell you it exists, and it’s in full effect.  These skinny jeans (denim leotards), skirts, and sagging pants are all methods of a strategy to attack black males via fashion.  The TV shows do it through media, and now a song has hit YouTube called “ Throw Dat Boy P*ssy.”

This videos has our young black men in spandex shorts twerking to a beat that is easily considered a club banger, and will hypnotize and tranquilize the average unassuming ear.  You have no idea of how devastating this is until you actually see the video.  The quest for fame, stardom, and notoriety has our children doing any and everything now because they aren’t receiving the proper and healthy attention and recognition from inside our homes.

We have officially allowed pop culture to co-opt our young boys, using our own culture of hip-hop to accomplish their mission.  PARENTS GET ON TASK!!! GRANDPARENTS GET ON TASK!!! PREACHERS GET ON TASK!!!! TEACHERS GET ON TASK!!!! WE’VE GOT WORK TO DO, STOP THE EXCUSES.  WE’LL THEN BE WONDERING WHO WILL MARRY OUR DAUGHTERS!

I’m sick of this.  We’ve become so obsessed with being acceptive of inappropriate behavior, and obsessed with freedom of expression that we are failing to analyze the failures of freedom of expression.  Furthermore, true freedom of expression is false now because when you try to express your opposing view, you’ll be effectively ostracized, blacklisted, and branded.  So freedom of expression is only applicable to the dictators of contemporary pop-culture.  I’m not saying we need a dictator, but where are the boundaries and red lines of inappropriateness, and cultural pride?

We’ve become an exploited commodity and mockery for the world to see.

Look at how we’ve been tricked into pop culture:

• You don’t see music videos of Asian, East Indian, Muslim or Jewish men twerking like women.
• You don’t see “Divorce Court” featuring Asian, East Indian, Muslim or Jewish husband and wives acting silly on camera and arguing over child support.
• You don’t see “reality shows” with Asian, East Indian, Jewish or Muslim men and women acting like they have no home training or respect for themselves.
• You don’t see Asian, East Indian, Jewish or Muslim men and women on Jerry Springer and Maury Povich getting exploited for money and TV ratings.
• You don’t see Asian, East Indian, Muslim, or Jewish communities exploiting their women as strippers for music videos.
• You don’t see Asian, East Indian, Muslim, or Jewish communities making songs about how they will kill their brethren.

No you don’t, and I’m not entertaining anybody’s one or two examples they’ve witnessed once just to have a comment in the comment section in an attempt to look unique or deep.  Go somewhere else with that.

You do see the Asian, Middle Eastern, Jewish, and East Indian demographics quietly getting their financial and economic demands met, controlling resources, and having soci0-political impact.  I’m not beholding to any of the aforementioned demographics but they’re an excellent demographic to illustrate what they do and do not participate in.  They have a fortified solidarity dedicated to the perpetuation of their cultural posterity.

The new black leadership has to start at home, not at any political convention, not on Capitol Hill, not at some rally, not at some march, not even at these fake Hollywood churches… It has to start at home. Unplug that idiot box and detox.  The case for increased mental and spiritual hygiene is here!

D.C. murder case pleads the case for fathers

by Dr. Samori Swygert

We’ve heard about how actor Terry Crews was criticized on public TV for saying that boys need fathers in their lives. Well consider this story!  This may be lengthy but trust me, it’s worth your while, I’ll never write about nonsense to waste your time.

What you are about to read is a true story.  This is centered in the streets of Washington, D.C., however, it reads like the climax to the plot of an inner city crime novel or a big screen MiraMax film.  Unfortunately, this is real life like an episode of  “The First 48.”

I highlight this story as a cautionary case study for parents, family members, and our youth.  The role of a parent is crucial.  I also say that the presence of a contributory, productive, concerned, and dedicated father is critical.

The following individuals are either implicated, murdered, or sentenced.  The main youth Arvel Crawford was just sentenced to 75 years in jail.

• Arvel Crawford- convicted and incarcerated, first documented murder at age 18
• Arvel Alston- 40-year-old murdered by his son, Arvel Crawford
• Johnquan Wright- 18-year-old victim of homicide secondary to retaliation
• Nolan Cooper- Victim of homicide, 61-year-old innocent bystander
• Tyrone Herring- 45-year-old, targeted drug dealer
• Jarvis Clark- accomplice
• Roshun “Too sharp” Parker- 27-year-old accomplice, and police informant
• Reginald Jones- 40-year-old corrupt D.C. police officer
• Lynn Wilkerson- cousin of police officer, and auto-shop owner

Let’s get started

On May 2014, a D.C. court judge sentenced 23-year-old Arvel Crawford to 75 years in prison for the murder of Johnquan Wright and Nolan Cooper.  Arvel Crawford was only 18-years-old at the time of those murders (2008).  However, at the time he was sentenced for 75 years, he was already serving 18 years in shooting and killing his father (Arvel Alston) in a botched robbery of a drug dealer (2009).

Arvel Crawford was born six months after his father was incarcerated in 1990 for the shooting death of a man during a robbery.  His father (Arvel Alston) was sentenced to 25 years, but the sentence was reduced to 17 years.  Arvel Crawford’s father was released in 2007, less than a year later he would be murdered by his own son (accidentally).  Arvel Crawford would only know his dad as a free man for a matter of months because from birth to 2007 his father was incarcerated.

In 2008, Arvel Crawford’s cousin was killed.  Crawford allegedly figured out who killed his cousin.  His cousin’s alleged killer was Johnquan Wright.  Late one night, Arvel Crawford crept up behind Johnquan with a .45 caliber handgun and fired multiple shots into his back.  One shot was an entry-exit wound, which went through Johnquan and hit 61-year-old Nolan Cooper.  Nolan Cooper was a 61-year-old homeless innocent bystander, Nolan fatally succumbed to his wounds.  Arvel was not caught for that double homicide.

In 2009, Arvel Alston ( the father), orchestrated a robbery of a local drug dealer.  Arvel Alston  enlisted the help of his own teenage son, a few of the above the above accomplices, and a D.C. police officer ( Reginal Jones) that was down on his luck financially.  The target of the robbery was a local drug dealer by the name of Tyrone Herring.

Arvel Alston ( the father), Arvel Crawford, Reginald Jones ( D.C. cop), Lynn Wilkerson, and the rest of the crew met at Lynn Wilkerson’s auto-shop to devise the plan to rob Tyrone Herring.

That night, the crew posted up in the parking lot of Tyrone’s girlfriend’s apartment, and awaited his exit.  They were going to apprehend him at gun point, and push their way into her apartment to rob her, then take his Infiniti to his house and rob him of all money, drugs, and whatever else was considered valuable. The robbery scene would be watched and protected by the D.C. police officer.  He would serve as lookout and scare away anyone that approached the scene of the robbery.  Some of the scheme went according to plan.

Tyrone exited his girl’s apartment.  He was approached by the group, a gun was drawn on him, and he was dragged to the door of his girl’s apartment.  They rang her buzzer but she never responded.  The scuffle continued as they tried to get him into his Infiniti.  Tyrone screamed out for help to the D.C. police cruiser, but no help was afforded him because the D.C. cop was in on the robbery.

Arvel Crawford drew his gun and fired.  He missed and shot his dad in the torso.  His dad got out the Infiniti, and eventually stumbled to the ground while asking his son, “What the f*ck are you doing?”  Arvel Crawford was screaming, ” Get up dad, Get up!”.

Rashun ” Too sharp” Parker snitched on all his partners to get a reduced sentence.  Rashun Parker had a long history with D.C. police on informing them of crimes and committing crimes, he had a give-and-take relationship with D.C.P.D.

Reginald Jones (the cop) was already upside down in his mortgage ($28,000 in delinquent mortgage payments), facing foreclosure, and had tens of thousands of dollars in consumer debt.  Reginald Jones plead guilty and was sentenced to 15 years in jail.

The other accomplices were charged with murder because they were accomplices in commission of a crime when somebody was killed.  Tyrone Herrings was found with $ 4,700 in cash and 31.4 grams of crack on the night in question. Reportedly, his misdeeds revealed his secret girlfriend to his wife, and he faces legal troubles stemming from the drug possession.

So May 2014, Arvel Crawford was sentenced to an additional 75 years for the double homicide.

This young man will never see the light of day as a free man.  He never really knew his father, and his father never really knew himself.  His father served 17 years in jail, basically his son’s whole life (at the time) just to get released and involve his son in criminal activity that ultimately led to his own son shooting and killing him by accident.  The Bible talks about how the sins of the father shall visit upon the children ( Exodus 20:5).  His father robbed and killed a man in 1990, and the karma came back twice as hard.

This father had a chance to tell his son not to emulate him and to teach him to be everything he’s not and to seek higher ground.  His father could’ve intervened, or been an obstacle to his son’s road to destruction.  So much can be said about this story, but I tried to be brief for readers’ sake.  However, this must be said:  We must also actively assume a father figure in lives of our young black men.  We never know who they are looking to for guidance and direction.  We don’t have to be related by blood and DNA to claim the kids of our village.

Doubling down on Damon Dash and the music industry

by Dr. Samori Swygert

I wrote an article back in May about the very same thing Damon Dash discussed about the music industry, but I never published it. I think this is the perfect time to publish it, so here it is.

We’re far too familiar with the character assassination strategies of the American media. Black males are regularly propagandized as thugs, gang members, drug dealers, pimps, and more. You can turn on Fox News and watch Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity lambast rappers ad nauseam infinitum. You’ll also see Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh throw in their cheap convenient jabs from time to time.

However, there is a unique dynamic that you won’t see on these news networks. Why?

We’ve seen how Trayvon Martin was minding his business and was harassed and killed by George Zimmerman. The media made it their business to criminalize him as a weed smoking thug. We’ve seen how Richard Sherman was transformed into a “thug” under the media microscope for having an opinion. DeSean Jackson was dismissed because of “alleged gang affiliation.”

However, the media won’t ever publicly come out and ask the following questions to their contemporary media partners in the entertainment industry: Why are you funding, subsidizing, and promoting a culture of crime, drugs, and sëxual promiscuity by luring young black men with million dollar contracts? Why are you promoting the very thing we fear, hate, and criminalize about thugs and drug dealers? Why are you endorsing and supporting this lifestyle, instead of providing million-dollar deals to music artists with a positive message?

Have you ever seen a 60 Minutes or Fox News interview about this with record executives?

The American citizenry will say that they’re scared and fearful of these gangsters, thugs, and menaces to society. Let’s be clear: The heads of these major record labels and distribution companies are not black. Instead of calling Lil Wayne a thug, why hasn’t Bill O’Reilly invited record label heads on his show to interrogate them? Why not interview them, and ask why they would give million dollar deals to individuals to rap about killing, pimping, and drug dealing?

No, you never ever see the news stations have this discussion.

The “scary black thug” that the American citizenry fears and complains about is financed and funded by white record label and radio executives. We can’t have it both ways.

Many of these “gangsta thugs” wouldn’t even have a voice to exert their national influence had it not been for major labels and radio executives giving them million dollar contracts, publicity, and airplay. So in essence, the media hates the bread but never criticizes the baker. We all know how hard it is for positive rappers to get a record deal, publicity, and radio play.

The following example is strictly for illustration, because America is familiar with terrοrism.

EXAMPLE: America has waged an all-out war on terrοrism. The media has clearly defined who America’s enemy is. The media has many American citizens fearful and resentful of terrοrists. What actions would America take if they were able to identify who was financing terrοrist groups? They would cripple their finances, charge them with supporting, aiding, and abetting terrorism.

Now that was only to illustrate an example of how America would handle groups that fund terrοrism. I don’t believe African American young men are terrοrists. I believe many of our young men are deprived of positive role models, parents, economically depressed, lack support and opportunity in many cases. Thus, many of them look to pseudo role models of rappers, gangs, and etc. for relevance, recognition, and respect.

However, the American news media never ever calls the record and radio station execs on the carpet for funding and profiteering off propagandizing young black males. No, the news media would rather conduct a 24 hour news cycle smear campaign against the puppet but remain mute about the funding from the puppeteer. The record executives are just as liable, culpable, complicit, and responsible for the proliferation of drugs, viοlence, and misogyny, but they’re never taken to task by the news.

Here’s one more example for the road:

This is also like your mother complaining about how she’s scared of these masked pocketbook snatchers, but your dad is paying you to go out and s****h pocketbooks at night to finance his gambling habit. Your mother chastises and scolds you when she finds out you’re doing it but knows your father is paying you to rοb people, and says nothing at all to your father.

I would love to see a debate between news outlets and record/radio execs. I want to see them explain on live TV why they pump millions of dollars into the promotion of the very thing Americans say they’re afraid of and the justice system criminalizes. The media’s attention and target is misdirected, and young black men are the convenient scapegoat. If you think I’m lying, look up the CEOs of all the major record labels, radio execs, and the private equity fund managers that own them. This is a duplicitous hypocrisy between the American news media and the American entertainment industry. Furthermore, many of the news agencies are under the same umbrella as the record labels. Is this deliberate? What say you?
