*THE RHO_REPORT FOLLOW-UP STORY (PART 2): NO ASSAILANT ARRESTED; NO POLICE CORROBORATION; NO MEDICAL VERIFICATION OF PROGRESSION OF WOUNDS HEALING; AND NO MORE GOFUNDME OR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS. A TERRY MCMILLAN DISAPPEARING ACT AND NO ONE WANTS TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER? WHERE IN DWORLD IS RHO OSSMAN BASHE? SOMALI-AMERICAN ALLEGED VICTIM HAD BLAMED BLACK MEN FOR HER ASSAULT NOT BEING PREVENTED. YET THE ASSAULT EVIDENCE NOR THE ASSAILANT ARE FORTHCOMING. WHERE IS NBC NEWS ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO FALSE STATEMENTS GIVEN DURING HER SO-CALLED IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW.
* WHY DO PEOPLE PRESENT FALSE INCIDENTS OF SOCIAL CRIMES AS IN THE CASE IF JUSSIE SMOLLET AND DOUBLE-DOWN ON THEIR INNOCENCE EVEN AFTER FACTS ATE PRESENTED TO THE CONTRARY. WHERE ARE THE PUBLIC APOLOGIES AFTER PUBLIC OUTCRY FOR BLACK MEN BEING FALSELY ACCUSED OF HEINOUS ACTS THAT TRIGGER SOCIALLY INDIGNANT REACTIONS.
*CALLING LAW ENFORCEMENT WHEN YOU WITNESS A CRIME RATHER THAN SEEKING VIGILANTE JUSTICE. WHAT IS FLAWED IN YOUR MENTALITY?
*PROTECTING LOVED ONES WITH A RISK ASSESSMENT STRATEGY RATHER THAN THE PROBLEMS AND CONSEQUENCES WITH SEEKING VENGEANCE. LOSING YOUR LIFE, FREEDOM, CAREER, REPUTATION, OR SOCIAL STATUS FOR RETALIATORY VIOLENCE OR VERBAL REACTIONS. THE ESCALATION OF BEEF LEADS TO SELF DESTRUCTION, NOT JUSTICE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ADJUDGED BASED ON GENDER ROLES AND DUTIES.
*CASE BY CASE BASIS FOR CHIVALRY: TO BE OR NOT TO BE! LETS FOCUS ON FINDING ASSAILANTS AND JUSTICE THROUGH THE LAW RATHER THAN OUR TRIGGERED EMOTIONS OR MOB MENTALITY. THE PRINCIPLES OF PROTECTING WOMEN FROM MEN’S MENTALITY, TOXICITY AND PATRIARCHAL ABUSE. THE BIG PICTURE OF PROTECTING OUR WOMEN MEANS WE CAN’T REMAIN SILENT IN INSTANCES OF SUCH ABUSE. AND WHEN YOU SHOULD REMAIN SILENT. UNDERSTANDING CONSEQUENCES AND REPERCUSSIONS.
*THE TROUBLE WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE SEEKING ATTENTION EXORBITANTLY. THE BOY THAT CRIED WOLF. BEING CAREFUL OF MANIPULATION FROM OTHERS THAT CONSISTENTLY DECRY VICTIM. PSYCHOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR TRAITS TO BE MINDFUL OF SUCH MANIPULATION.
*ON THE OTHER HAND: THE BLACK WOMAN IN CHICAGO ASSAULTED IN THE CHINESE RESTAURANT UNTIL HER CAME TO HER RESCUE TI SHOOT AND KILL THE ASSAILANT. CHARGES WERE DROPPED IN THE CASE OF CARLISA HOOD AND HER 14 YEAR OLD SON IN RESPONSE TO THE UNTIMELY DEATH OF 34 YEAR OLD JEREMY BROWN.
*LAST CASE FILE SCENARIO: FOR AN INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION OF BLACK WOMEN’S OUTRAGE OVER THE # BRICKLADY DISTURBING ACCUSATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS, WE MUST CONCEDE TO THE FOLLOWING CONSIDERATIONS. BLACK WOMEN ARE JUSTIFIED IN THEIR OUTRAGE: IF, THAT OUTRAGE IS BIGGER THAN THE SCAM PERPETRATED BY RODA OSSMAN BASHE. THEN, THE INCIDENT, TRUE OR FALSE, IS JUSTIFIABLY INDICATIVE OF OUR COLLECTIVE OUTRAGE IN SIMILAR SOCIAL INJUSTICES. FOR EXAMPLE: OUR COLLECTIVE OUTRAGE TOWARDS POLICE FOR THE TRAGIC AND UNTIMELY DEATHS OF ERIC GARNER AND GEORGE FLOYD.
THEREFORE. WE AS BLACK MEN, SHOULD IN NO WAY BE CELEBRATORY OF EXPOSING THE ERRONEOUS RHO_REPORT SCANDAL AND SCAM. RATHER, WE SHOULD BE FOCUSED MORE ON THE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE AND RELEVANT MARGINALIZATION AND ABUSIVE ROLES PERPETRATED UPON BLACK WOMEN (AND OF WOMEN IN GENERAL). AS WITH AN ANALOGOUS REVISIT TO THE TAWANA BRAWLEY DEBACLE, THE INHERENT LESSON IS NOT SO OBVIOUS BUT CRUCIAL: THE MORAL OF THE BRAWLEY STORY HELD NOT WITH THE TRIUMPH OF WHITE MEN TO CELEBRATE BEING ABSOLVED OF A COLLECTIVE INJUSTICE. ONE CAN NOT ACCEPT VICTORY (OF THEIR REPUTATION) WHILE IGNORING THE PATTERN OF TYRANNY TOWARDS BLACK WOMEN. THE CRUCIAL LESSON IS TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON ERADICATION OF THE PATTERNS OF THAT OPPRESSION —WHICH ARE ALWAYS STILL PRESENT AND VERY RELEVANT.
ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS CONTEXT, THE FOCUS FOR ACTIVISTS AND SOCIAL ENGINEERS IS TO REMAIN VIGILANT FOR SEEKING JUSTICE FOR THOSE SIMILARLY SITUATED VICTIMS OF ABUSE. OUR WORK RELIES ON RECOGNIZING THOSE PATTERNS OF OPPRESSIVE ACTS OF CRIMINALITY. THAT ASPECT OF THESE STORIES AND ELECTIVES SHOULD NEVER BE OVERLOOKED!
