According to a recent report the creation of
a super criminal is now underway. This may
sound a bit far-fetched but after you read
the article below you'll begin to understand,
then drop us a line on what you think.
Riddle us this dear reader, what do the violent situations that have taken place in the Sudan, Uganda, Haiti, Somalia, Rwanda and Liberia all have in common? These are situations in which African people or people of African descent are being killed by other people of African descent in staggering numbers for one reason or another.
And if you're into riddles then you're going to love this one. What do you get when you take film footage of the atrocities that are occuring abroad and put the footage on super slow motion? You get the genocidal, sometimes gang-related, automatic weapon powered skirmishes that occur in depressed black neighborhoods across the US. All too often these "battles" result in the yet another death of a young black male.
Oakland, California, a locale of seemingly endless musical and athletic talent is also the second most murderous city in the California behind Compton, California.
On December 9, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer Meredith May visited the plight of Oakland's desensitized and sometimes brain washed young black male populous and the familial/cultural circumstances that can cause them to become killers in a piece titled "Many young black men in Oakland are killing and dying for respect."
She writes: "Along with the Christmas trees and family gatherings, there's another end-of-the-year ritual in Oakland - a candlelight vigil for the murdered. The body count is woven into the civic consciousness here - a number chased by homicide inspectors, studied by criminologists, lamented in churches, reported by journalists. Every mayor leaves City Hall on broken promises to quell the violence, and the killings continue. An additional 115 have been killed this year, putting Oakland on pace for another gruesome record. In the last five years, 557 people were slain on the city's streets, making Oakland the state's second-most murderous city, behind Compton. Most victims are young, black men who are dying in forgotten neighborhoods of East and West Oakland."
