Here what Sonya Massey's son says should happen to the officer who shot and killed her

[Chevdove]

 

There's no shortage of this story. The internet has blown up, as it should. 

In this brief video, Sonya Massey's handsome son, Malachi, is interviewed and he does and awesome job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Pioneer1]

I'm not sure what words anybody could offer to ease what that young brutha is going through.


During the interview, the young man said that he dropped his father off at work.
I haven't followed the "follow up" of this story too closely, but have we heard much from him?

We've heard from the son, and Sonya's father....but what about this man she was/is involved with?

 

[ProfD]

The media playbook and Black folks' response in these situations is the same.

 

Interview family members and friends on behalf of the victim.

 

Trot out attorney Ben Crump. Might call Rev. Al Sharpton.

 

Black folks get emotional and upset about what happened. There may be a vigil, march or protest. The victim will end up on t-shirts.

 

The dust will settle until another Black person is murdered by racists. Rinse and repeat. 

 

We cannot continue to do the same thing  and expect different results. That is the definition of insanity.

[Pioneer1]

Some call him an ambulance chaser, but I personally applaud brother Crump for what he's doing.

Is he getting "justice" for the victims?

Some would argue not.
But who else CAN get justice for them besides their own family members?

It's not Crump's job or responsibility to pull up on violent racists and deal with them.
He's not even a CRIMINAL prosecutor, he's a CIVIL lawyer.
A lot of people I go back and forth with over him don't understand the difference.

He can't get anybody locked up because he only deals with Civil suits, not criminal ones where people can get imprisoned.

He's doing HIS part....which is using his power as an attorney to win battles in the court room and get as much money as he can for the families of these victims.
....I ain't mad at him.
 

[ProfD]

Right.  Attorney Ben Crump is doing his part from a legal perspective to get money for the victim's families in civil court. 

 

Black folks need to have something in place to keep our folks from becoming victims of racists in the 1st place.

Well, we can do better than this, that's for sure. 

I just read a post by @frankster about a dark incident that may have something to do with being a premeditation and so, I believe that

if the people in that town speak up, then this kind of confirmation would be a big help in sending a message to people that we should

to better when a Black person tells you that they believe that they are dealing with a predator. 

When Sonya told some of her family that she felt that her life was in danger, then at least the males in her family should have offered 

to get together and go over to spend a few nights over her home or something. 

Obviously, she was telling the truth, so why did she continue to be left alone and the predators were given free range to come onto her 

property! They came into her house and took her life!!!

I can't believe it!

You know, males don't usually do that. Males don't usually attack a female like that, for nothing. If a male does something that evil, such as killing their own brother or another male, or etc. it is usually due to some evil female instigator. If this heinous crime was provoked, then that person needs to be prosecuted as well. 

 

... If thou doest well, ...

[7] If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?

and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.

And unto thee shall be his desire,

and thou shalt rule over him. GENESIS 4:7.

 

Cain was guilty and he was evil, however, he was also provoked. That 'sin' was definitely someone else that helped to stoke things up. 

She or whoever it was lieth at his door. There was a person, an opportunist, that help to cause division between the brothers. Maybe it 

was a woman, and she was angry because she was passed over by the brother or, she set him up. 

 

It is difficult for me to believe that this awful death of Sonya Massey was random. It seems to me like it was premeditated and due to some act of retaliation. 

And what about the other police. Was he a patsy? Did he know that Grayson was that evil? He turned his camera on, but Grayson did not until after he shot

Sonya and then told the other police not to administer first aid. He spoke profanity over Sonya while she was still breathing. Jesus Christ. God help us.

Definitely would have made sense if such was the case.

It will be interesting to see if it's proven to be a premeditated execution carried out by law enforcement. The same folks sworn to serve and protect citizens.

 

If such is the case, I look forward to the response from Black leadership at every level.

I'm fairly certain Black folks including its leadership will be waiting for Him to intervene too.

[Pioneer1]

Premeditated or not, I think the reaction by the community over this incident is going to be the same:  Pretty much nothing.

Why?
Because of fear and indifference.
Unfortunately, more indifference than fear.
 

Atleast people in fear WANT to do something and might even try it if the opportunity arises and they think they may have a chance to bring justice.
However people who are indifferent simple don't care.

You could parade that killer cop around the town chained to a horse and most of the Black folks who happen to see him wouldn't even know who he was.
That incident isn't even on the minds of many of our people.

Getting high, having sex, and getting the bills paid, are.
 

If Black folks were going to mobilize and do something as a result of this recent killing...they would have done it by now.

Like Al Capone told Elliot Ness in The Untouchables,  "If you were a REAL man you would have done it already".
(as opposed to just running your mouth about it)

I believe it's more fear than anything else. Psychologically damaged and PTSD inherited genetically.

 

However, Black folks cannot afford to be indifferent because these murders will continue happening. Just a matter of time before it hits closer to home.

You believe it's fear?

People who often live around death and destruction (from eachother unfortunately) on a daily basis.
Grew up seeing their friends and relatives killed infront of them, many of whom have been shot and stabbed themselves.
....but you believe they are "afraid" to confront the authorities over the murder of our sista?

Perhaps you're correct, it IS fear.
Maybe they subconsciously revere and respect Caucasians so much that they fear being harmed by them more than being harmed by a fellow AfroAmerican.

I still tend to think it's indifference MORE than just fear.
It's unfortunate, but I really believe that many if not most of our people simply DO NOT CARE.

Even if you stop one of them to talk to them about it they usually don't know what happened, and if you spend 3 minutes to explain (if you can hold them that long) what happened, they'll say "Damn, that's fucked up"....and continue to go about their way smoking on whatever they were smoking on.

I think it is a little of both but because of so many real situations that have happened to us on a personal level, I think it is psychologically fear working. 

And this fear is 'real' meaning, it is so commonplace that when we do defend ourselves we oftentimes are harmed and no one 'black' comes to help on a large scale. It's gotta be a major incident like this one for a mass of Black Americans to respond. I am so proud though of the Black Americans that do respond but if this kind of response was done long before it comes to someone being murdered then, it would be so much better for our communities.

Yes, we need to start being more PRO-ACTIVE than RE-ACTIVE.

White folks have proven and constantly show their willingness to kill anybody, anywhere for any reason.

 

Totally different from n8gglets running around killing each other over money, petty beefs, women, trinkets and even less. 

 

IOW, Black folks are not prepared to go to war with white folks. They are afraid of the outcome. Fear.

I understand that.
However as an individual, some men consider some things worth dying for....regardless of the outcome.

You don't hear about these types of incidents happening too much to Arabs or Iranians.

Yes, wars are fought with them...but not on an individual level like this.

With all of the Arabs and Iranians living in the U.S....there's gotta be atleast 5 million...when was the last time you heard of the police running up in one of THEIR houses and killing a child or woman?

There's a reason for that.

I think most White men instinctively know that although they have the firepower and outnumber any Arab man in his house with his own family, they know they would have to kill HIM before harming his woman or his children.  Period.
They know this with almost certainty.
The Arab man knows he will die...or there's a high chance he will.
He knows that, but doesn't care....because he feels that some things are WORTH dying for as an individual...regardless as to what other people may choose to do.
And I believe White men respect this.

White folks here in America don't have a reason (hatred) to kill them.

 

The Arab is no threat to the system of racism white supremacy. Especially not when Arabs depend on them for their own wealth in the form of oil.

 

The anti-Black sentiment White folks have for AfroAmericans goes back to slavery. The lingering effects of it remain. 

 

AfroAmericans have proven from the plantation to lynchings to the assassination of our leaders up to police brutality and murder that we're not going to do anything to protect and defend ourselves against them.

Reduced to children.

 

Just confirms that globally, Black folks are afraid of white folks. Not only AfroAmericans.

 

White folks have tons of guns and other weapons.  They're willing to use them. 

 

Meanwhile, it's hard to get Black folks to learn how to use weapons properly and set up our own military force. Similar to FOI (Fruit of Islam).

 

Fear has Black folks conditioned into holding on to the belief that a sky fairy is going to deliver them from the evil clutches of his son Satan.

 

It's the grown-up equivalent of believing in Santa Claus.

 Okay but that fear is real. Whether it's the sky fairy, Santa Claus, or whatever, so far, nothing on this earth has been sufficient, even though historically there have been some victories in some countries.

For sure. It does go back to slavery. But then, actually, it goes back before it, imo. I honestly believe that prior to the set up of slavery, it was a set up in Europe that occurred before that is the problem with us, Black people NOT having the solution yet, to throw off this evil. 

 

I believe that we really need to know what happened prior to the set up of slavery and how we have been trapped. How can we fight against this kind of oppression?

Sista, with all due respect, it won't do Black folks any good to keep rehashing the when, where and how our people ended up in slavery and oppression. The history is well documented.

 

Violence is the only way the chains of oppression can be broken whether it's physical, mental or financial. It might require all three on some level.

Ha! Yeah. I understand this, but what about the history that hasn't even been taught?

Some history may have been well documented but some of us over here have not been taught, so that means we might be victims of repeating the same mistakes that have landed us into this predicament. It's like we are sittin' ducks for anything. 

 

I think we do need some help from the outside, here, or something.

Gotcha. There's enough brilliant Black folks among us to prevent the same mistakes.

 

The question is 1) what will take to motivate Black leadership and 2) are Black folks willing to listen and follow.
