SOHH GYANT RANDOMNESS: "A Black Man's Life Has Absolutely No Value Here In Amerikkka."

You know I've been on the fence about talking about Sean Bell and the incredibly disappointing events that unfolded last week. If some reason you've been living up under a rock all three officers who pumped 50 bullets into an unarmed black man were acquitted of all charges. But while I wasn't sure how I was going to discuss it and tie it into Atlanta, thankfully my media brethren Charlamagne Tha God has written a thought provoking commentary on the situation. Check it out below.

Here's Charlamagne had to say:

I was starting to have the feeling that things where changing here in Amerikkka. I was starting to think that the American creed of Freedom, Justice, and Equality was starting to be applied to all races and was just not exclusively for the rich, high class, white people. I was starting to think with the rise of Barack Obama that maybe, just maybe we where starting to be treated equally in all facets of American society. I mean even though Barack Obama is of mixed race he is in every aspect looked upon as a black man. When I saw people like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and the likes of them embracing Obama I started to feel like, wow MLK's dream is being realized! A black man is not being judged by the color of his skin but by the content of his character.

My fairy tale came to a screeching halt on Friday April 25th 2008 when the Sean Bell verdict came down. I was reminded quickly and swiftly that a black man's life has never had any value here in Amerikkka. Detectives Michael Oliver, Gescard Isnora, and Marc Cooper, the three New York City police officers accused of shooting 50 times and murdering Sean Bell, were found not guilty on all counts. Oliver fired 31 times and claims to not remember shooting the first time that's why he reloaded and started shooting again? How could Judge Arthur Cooperman not find that utterly insane? Is that not the epitome of incompetence? When I hear a man speak like that I have to question his mental state and have to wonder is he even psychologically fit to be a cop. Isnora, who fired 11 times, had been charged with manslaughter, felony assault, and reckless endangerment. Cooper, who fired four times, faced up to a year in jail if convicted of reckless endangerment. They faced up to 25 years in prison if convicted on all charges, yet they where all found not guilty.

Another black man murdered; two others shot the fuck up and the old ass white judge Arthur Cooperman's reasoning was the demeanor of the witnesses made him question their character and the past police records of the victims played a role in his decision. Wow, so Malcolm X had a police record, he was a former felon; Martin Luther King Jr. had a police record also. He had been to jail several times. Does Judge Arthur Cooperman believe those great brother's murders where justified because of their past records? Since Judge Arthur Cooperman wants to talk about character and demeanor I have to question the character of every NYPD police officer I run into now because of the murderous demeanor of these cops who got off, not to mention the murderous demeanor of the cops who killed Eleanor Bumpurs, Michael Stewart, and Amadou Diallo. The same way they can't tell a good black man from a black man who might actually be causing them a threat, I can't tell the difference between a good cop who might really being trying to protect and to serve and a bad cop who can't wait to use his brand new government issued pistol on me.

Situations like this are why the hood says fuck the police. This is why the stop snitching campaign is in effect because even when it's justified for me to cooperate and help, why should I cooperate and help a system that will never cooperate and help my black ass? When Barack Obama speaks of people being bitter and having no faith in government this is why. Verdicts like this are the reason we cling to our respective religions, why we cling to our guns and why we have resentment towards a so called justice system that delivers us an injustice every chance they get. I must say Amerikka stayed true to tradition with that verdict. They reminded everyone that a black man's life has absolutely no value here in Amerikkka.

Have you ever read 100 Years of Lynching by Ralph Ginzburg? Pick that up and read how a black man in Louisiana was lynched by an orderly mob on March 17th, 1908 because he was suspected of stealing a mule. Read how on July 14th, 1914 in Mississippi a black man was hung because he was suspected of stealing cows. Read how on December 5, 1914 in Spartanburg, SC they hung a black man because he was suspected of stealing a chicken. History continues to repeat itself. In 2007 Michael Vick was sent to prison because he fought and killed dogs, and in 2008 three cops who kill a black man get off? Animal life has more value than a black man here in Amerikkka.

It's a damn shame in 2006 Sean Bell was killed because he was suspected of having a gun, the same way a black man was killed because he was suspected of stealing a cow. Well, these public killings, lynching, if you will, still go on today because on November 25th 2006 Sean Bell was shot and the public hanging and burning of Sean Bell's body happened on April 27, 2008 when that abortion of justice was handed down as a verdict. How am I supposed to feel empowered as a young black man in Amerikkka? When situations like this happen a feeling of fear comes over the black community. If I'm educated they can still shoot me down if they want to, if I'm rich they can still shoot me down if they want to, if I'm a highly religious spiritual leader they can still shoot me down if they want to.

This public lynching of Sean Bell rekindles the fear they want us to have for the system. It's the same fear slave masters like Willie Lynch instilled in his slaves while he spoke on the banks of the James River in the colony of Virginia in 1712. He demanded those devils to instill fear in black people because it was a cardinal rule to make a Negro submissive. The Sean Bell verdict is the equivalent of taking the meanest and most restless negro, stripping him of his clothes in front of the other male negroes as well as the female and the kids, tying each leg to a horse faced in opposite directions, setting the brother on fire, and beating both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining negroes. This puts the fear of this evil system into black people. Not only will they be submissive, but they won't get out of line.

Well I'm telling you black people all I fear is Allah. I submit to no one but the creator. I'm telling you it's time to get out of line, No Justice, No Peace. All you leaders calling for peace, I understand you but it's against the laws of nature. It's against the laws of Karma. What's about to happen is Cause and Effect. Good Deeds create good consequences, injustice creates war. You must destroy in order to build, that's a Universal Principal that existed before us and it's going to be here after we are gone. You gang bangers want to bang, well now is the time and that energy should not be directed at each other anymore. I can show you who the real enemy is. You brothers are going to have to start being the frontline of defense in the communities.

It's not a black versus white thing either. I know white people who are just as pissed about this situation as we are. Racism is a learned behavior. Whites where not born to hate blacks and blacks where not born to hate whites. The law of karma, the law of cause and effect, and the law of polarity have created these racist conditions. We must unlearn what we have learned and see each other in each other and fight together because the truth is, with all these black men falling in love with white women and having babies that look like Barack Obama, whose to say your child might not be getting murdered by this evil system in the future? As Martin Luther King Jr. said an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere and we will get justice in the words of Malcolm X, "By Any Means Necessary."

  • So you went to the African bookstore, bought a few figurines, some oil and a kufi and suddenly you have switched out your deprecating, gossip monger robes and become a political activist? The case is about police corruption and injustice not specifically race. You rambled on about it being about a black thing then state that its not black vs white? Stick to what you do, allegations of homosexuality, denying your sexual preferences and imaginative fabricated rumors. You, Charlie and Wendy circle tugging each other like you a real media and not fluff article generators. Go take a nap.

  • I understand your pain, I'm sure anyone who reads this understands, however what are you suggesting? Violence...I'll be honest with you, if you want some kind of revolution you'd better step out of the cushy cubicle where you typed this and onto the front lines. I'll tell you right now when you're dealing with a country that has the power to destroy nations and they want us dead anyway, violence isn't the answer. You want them to have a "REAL" excuse to start killing blacks? Keep talking...bunch of black guys go running at some cops with 9mms. Then the cops will come back wit M40's. We get grenades they starget tanks then choppers, stealth jets. Next thing you know they'll be detaining us like the Japanese after Pearl Harbor. You want that? If you do fine, but don't suggest somebody get on the frontlines for you, do it yourself.

  • As one of those white men who is also disgusted with the verdict, I read Charlamagne's article nodding in agreement, until the second to last paragraph. At that point, I saw a stark, well written, emotion producing article turn a complete 180. I will fully admit some ignorance here. Heck, I am a white guy living in rural PA, but "you must destroy in order to build", "by any means necessary". I sat here feeling a righteous anger towards the verdict. Feeling a lot like Charlamagne feels, agreeing that racism is learned behavior, then I read the above mentioned. Do you not see that that thinking spreads racism. If I showed that article to people in my county (which already has a racist attitude) , it would just reaffirm their beliefs. A few nights ago, I was discussing racism with a friend who is Puerto Rican. She works at a convenience store, and what she discovered is that as people got to know her, racial attitudes began to diminish. Her character, her reluctance to flame the fires of hatred won many people to her, and it changed hearts. That is unlearning racism. Before I start writing a whole book here, let me sum up my viewpoint. I do not know the intimate details of the trial, but for what I do know, I find the verdict disgusting. I know that riots or street justice will only perpetrate racism, and that the end does not justify the means. Changing hearts and minds, requires love, and self control. Anger and fear will not work. God Bless.

  • So "Charlemagne T.G.", explain how you can voice so much opinion about black men standing up for themselves and injustice? And then when a "black man" who has a good job/career (Chingy) comes on your show to talk about him and his career, u tear him apart just because you dont like him. You go to myspace and the internet and preach long ass blogs about injustice for us, but you feed into the bullshit by degrading a man who just wants to use his musical talents (whatever they are - respectively) to provide for his family. Your whole show and career contradicts what you are tryin to accomplish with these blogs and thoughts. So how am I supposed to take your words serious after knowing you and W.W. do nothing but hate on anyone? Like the first post said, "...go to an african bookstore..." and gained some insight... U have a nationwide, if not worldwide, audience where you can use the airtime to air out our discrepencies as a government so do it please? Give us something more to talk about other than who you disrespected on the air the day before.... or a party or album release or some other party bullshit... Or why dont you air out w.w. hatin ass..? Do something productive brother, because youre adding to the negative stereotypes that get us black men labeled in the wrong way anyway. Look at your jewelry. Look at your job.. its self explanitory... HOLLA

    PS...GYANT... Dont cosign this cat.. He's fake in every aspect and you should be on point for this type of stuff... NOBODY IN THE TRUE SOUTH RESPECTS "C.T.G" nor "W.W." YOu cosign him and ur just as bad...

  • Why is Chalegayne pulling a trigger with his hand in that picture above? Oh, that's right, that picture was part of his Kill Whitey Press Packet and one should not assume he's aiming his gun at a black man. Nigga, please...


    Come get me then.


    Everyone should read the wikipedia entry for the Sean Bell shooting. It's filled with a lot of information and after reading it, my opinion is this:
    I, too, think it strange that these 3 men were acquitted on all charges, and it's a damn shame that another child lost their father and a woman lost a man who was planning to marry her.


    That's as far as I'm going in on that one. All jokes aside: shit's fucked up.

  • Two of the cops were black, so where is this race shit coming from? Has anybody including these self proclaimed media types even read the court transcripts to see what the judge meant regarding the witnesses? Who cares if Puerto Rocks use nigga, they have African blood in their lineage as well. All this tough talk under the guise of revolution. Revolution means change and as far as I have read here, niggas still on the same bullshit. Fuck the police? Nah fuck those police who commited the act, because who you gonna call when shit gets thick, your homey? The homey thats scheming on your broad, stealing your money, smoking up your dro and talking bout your business behind your back? Y'all aint gonna do nothing and those two black cops involved probably live on your block.

  • Gyant, your title is a little misleading. Our lives are worth something only when POLITICIANS need our votes. Otherwise, you are correct.


    The dirty little secrtet of the Bell situation is that Mr Bell was a true soldier. (why else would the police kill an unarmed man?) And this is a little deeper than Sean Bell right now. Crooked police, hoodrat niggas, and scandelous WHORES all target true BLACK men. We're focused on the Bell situation because it's news. But, everyday, in this country, hard-working, middle-class and upper middle-class Black men are being slaughtered. And when we all realize that we are targeted as soon as concepcion happens, then we'll be able to stop bullshit like the Sean Bell situation.


    1 out of 3 abortions are BLACK ABORTIONS. And out of that, around 68% are ABORTIONS of BLACK MALE babies. That means that THEY are killing us off. Modern-day genocide. So, while I feel for the Bell family, I must remind you all that Mr Bell is just another victim of the system that was created A FEW DECADES ago to take us out.


    Peace to the Bell family and the MILLIONS of true BLACK men and babies who have fallen thanks to this wicked system.

  • I know Charles is mad right now but he'll be back to co-signing Wendell's bullshit in about two weeks.

    It's funny how dude becomes a revolutionary, like he about do something worth while.


    All he's doing is talking, which makes him part of the problem. Apathy is way too strong in our community for any real change to happen. If you want to change America, then we need to have a economic revolution. Until our community embraces the principles of economic empowerment things will be the same.


    America has been killing black people for no reason for the past 400 years and we haven't done anything to make them stop. But MLK had it right, only love can conquer hate.


    I like what Charlamange, or whatever his name is, is saying but I have two questions 1.) Are you just realizing this and 2.) are you going to keep this zeal and fire in your belly or will you get apathetic and comfortable go back life as we know it now?

  • The idea of Charlamagne dropping the gossip and picking up the gun is laughable. This imaginary "destroy & rebuild" revolutionary theory will never happen, but if it did it would be carried out by the MEN of our community. Not the ones who sit around like bitches talkin about who's dating who and spreading gay rumors. I won't even get into all the logical fallacies in his little rant, but the fact that's not mentioned is that THIS BLACK MAN WAS MURDERED BY BLACK MEN. period. So this is not about Black vs White. Its about Black vs Blue, and anyone with experience dealing with cops in the street will tell you that the black cops are worse than the white ones. So that shit about a black life bing worthless is not true: the judge seemed to think that the lives of those 2 black cops had value. Charlamagne made 1 or 2 valid points, but always consider the source. He should stick to what he does best; poluting the airwaives with that tranny.

  • Wow, riveting use of pathos littered with false analogies. There is some truth in that diatribe, but is the point is completely wrong. Gangs were founded as a means of protecting oneself against others in the area, and they result almost only in black on black violence. The part of the rant about polarization? Gangs perpetuate the same phenomenon. Blacks and blacks become red and blue. There is no way to redirect their animosity within the same framework. Gangs must be abolished for this reason. Charlemagne's rant to "rally the troops" was socially irresponsible. He employed the "halo effect" to position himself with great orators like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, while he's just a b-class radio "personality". Words of such lofty ideals are meaningless from someone like him, and if accepted uncritically aim to transfer the misplaced rage of countless bangers onto a system that will continue to take their lives (either through capital punishment or lifelong incarceration) relentlessly. Charlemagne used to be just a nobody in my eyes, but has now revealed himself as an ignorant person who has misused his ill-appointed means of communication to perpetuate the degradation of an entire race. It just goes to show that a little bit of knowledge really is a dangerous thing.

    Extremely bad grammar but a lot of truth to what he says.


    Yall need to think about that before all of the psuedo revolutionist(people who wont bust a grape in a fruit fight) come out.


    All emotions aside,here are some cold facts..


    This is 2008,not the 1800's or early 1900's.


    TODAY in 2008 Blacks make up close to 12% of the population and account for for close to 50% of the homocides.


    Of those murders over 90% of them were committed by another black person.


    not racist white cops,not the kkk,US...


    Now doesnt this look like we're the ones who dont value our own black lives?


    Question:


    Givin these alarming statistics,why no psuedo revolutionist tough talk against this insanity?


    Now i know you "black power" talking negro's are going to give me excuses for the reasons why we kill each other,but please spare me the "we're still recovering from the mental scars of slavery & jim crow" speech.


    Or


    "the white mans system is making us do it" talk.


    Its 2008,and those explanations are getting old,and quite frankly,its insulting to me for someone to suggest that i dont have the mental capacity to act civilized because of something that happened years ago.


    I believe that racism and police misconduct is still alive, but i would ask people to keep in mind that reputation and perception is everything.


    these cops come in to our neiborhoods before hand knowing the deviant and evil behavior that some of us engage in.


    This wickedness,which is accepted and sometimes glorified in our neiborhoods makes it worse for those of us who are good people.
