I thought this would be a good thread to post in this category as the killing of black people is all about race.  Our book is releasing December 15.  It is more of an encyclopedia and not a complete record (unfortunately). It does include over 200 social justice organizations listed, as well as the history of policing in America.

 

It's available on all platforms.

 

 

 

While I applaud your efforts to shed MORE light on this topic of unarmed AfroAmericans being killed by the police...........

Dr. Wesley Muhammad and other scholars have done extensive research on how AfroAmericans CONSTANTLY being portrayed as helpless victims of racist violence over and over again actually has more of a NEGATIVE effect on the psychological well being of AfroAmericans as individuals as well as the AfroAmerican community as a whole.

Believe it or not it leads to MORE stress because it contributes to a collective "depression" or sense of helplessness.

At this point, unless the stories of AfroAmericans standing up to racist violence aren't being published and shared as much as if not more than the stories of our brothers and sisters falling victim to it....then it would probably be better if those stories weren't talked about at all.


Now,  some would consider this a form of denial and to possibly even be dangerous to NOT cover stories of our people being targeted and brutalized by racists.  However if you think about it, why draw attention to a problem you have no plans to solve anyway?

 

 

Pain is an alert system that the bodies uses to draw attention to a problem so that you can DO something about it.

If you sprain your ankle, you don't get a pain just to ignore it.
.....nor do you limp around the house telling people about how much it hurts ONLY to sit back down and watch some damn television.




You get a pain to encourage you to GET UP AND DO SOMETHING about it and make it stop!
Solve the problem!

Ain't no sense complaining and lamenting over and over and over again about a problem you're not motivated to actually solve.

That's why we included the extensive list of social justice organizations so people can get involved and do something.

Thank you all for the good you're doing.

Thanks.  We obviously see what we are doing as something positive; especially for family members of victims still seeking justice.  There is nothing worse that feeling as if the world has moved on while you're still fighting to get justice.  This serves as an encyclopedia and reminder of systemic issues with police and the African-American community.

I'm curious....
What's the racial make-up of your organization/group?

I'm curious as to why you asked?  Is it important?

Knowing the demographics of an organization helps me to understand more about it.

I can tell you the author is black.

Lol....

Last time I checked an organization/group was made up of MORE than just one person.

Are you allowed to tell me the racial demographic of the rest of the group/organization/team? 

Well........

((shuffles papers))

I think I've gotten my answer, lol.

This matters and is an excellent point.

 

@Campaign Justice where can this book be found besides Amazon?
