Why The Surprise?

In today's episode, we will discuss the surprisingly high level of violence in America. It is where mass murders continue to increase, and perpetrators continue to get younger than ever. Does this surprise you? What surprises me is every time I turn on the television, people continue to be surprised by the level of violence that is going on within our society as we see the offense occurring weekly.

We could have prevented the level of violence and mass shootings in the overall society if we paid attention to what has been going to minority and low-income communities for many years. This issue is ignored because it was not an issue that the overall society was concerned about.

There are numerous reasons why violence has spread so quickly over the past ten years in America. But in our episode today we will discuss three major reasons because when we can address these major reasons the subsidiary issues will find answers themselves.

• Mental Health - This is related to our Episode 11, Calling for Juvenile PTSD treatment. I highlight the importance of treating mental illness in children. Inside this episode, you will learn how the American family and society deal with mental health issues compared to other sicknesses.
• The availability of guns - I discuss here how easy it is to have access to military-style and high-powered guns at such a young age of 18 years old. And someone can manufacture guns by watching video tutorials.
• The violence contained in video games that our children play - By playing video games kids as young as 12 years old killed thousands of video people competing with their friends. Similarly, when they encounter real people in the real world and deal with them violently, they perceive them as objects, not people.

Summary of potential solutions:

• Address mental health on a nationwide basis.
• Limit the availability of military-style weapons with high capacity and high caliber magazines to those who are above twenty-one years of age only.
• Address the concern on issues mentioned above to give us control over the violence that is perpetrated by those with mental illness and access to high-powered firearms.

Our topic for today is the failure of black leadership. First, let us define leadership from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s definition, "Leadership is a process in which an individual has the ability to influence a group of individuals in achieving a common goal."

The Black Leadership Failure is written in my book called "Anatomy of a Hustle Cable Comes To South Central LA" one of the chapters in the book was named the myth of black leadership. This chapter was written long before many black Americans began to realize the failure of black leadership that they had elected to oversee their best interests. The information in the chapter is more applicable today 10 years later than it was when it was originally published.

Here is a quick summary of three categories of leaders and who they are: Elected Officials - are leaders we elected to provide guidance to those people who have elected them is their job to interface with the government and won't be half of those who have placed them in office by having elected them.

Civil Rights Organization - These are the organizations that have made claims that they are in the business of benefiting those who have been left out of society.

Media Created Leaders - They're created by the media because the media presents them as black leaders when the media presents them since there is no contradicting factor in the evaluation of them. They become black leaders because of the fact that the media has identified them as such. Examples are Jesse Louis Jackson and Alfred Charles Sharpton Jr.

You might have heard of leadership in terms of sports, politics, and business. These leaders are expected to provide some semblance of order to any organization that is seeking to achieve a common goal.

The common goal of Black America is to become a full participant in the society in which we live. As we deal with these issues, we will deal with three specific categories. These categories are education, economic development, and the criminal justice system.

Finally, we will address the potential causes of our leadership failure. Tune in so you will be aware of these.

Juvenile post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic disorder that develops among children and adolescents as a result of exposure to traumatic events, such as natural disasters or violent crimes. In our episode today, we will discuss Juvenille PTSD which is caused by violent crimes.

It can interfere with children's normal development, causing problems in relationships and home life, school performance, and ability to function in the community. Juvenile PTSD should be treated to prevent them from having violent behavior and to help them study at school without difficulties.

It is disheartening, due to the fact that this issue disproportionately impacts black people and those with lower incomes, which represents black people because black society in America has a negative poverty rate of 25 percent, and that poverty rate creates an issue of crime and violence, but why is there a need for the media, especially black leadership, not to address the issue and merely ignore the fact that this mental illness is dealt with in the criminal justice system rather than in the health system?

Welcome to our 10th episode. This one is an interesting story of how an honorable judge herself did not honor the constitutional rights of her fellow Black Americans. And how the African American community is used by a black government official for personal gain.

I am telling on The Honorable Consuelo B. Marshall. If you have read my book The Anatomy of a Hustle; Cable Comes to South Central L.A., her name must be familiar to you. It is because she was the honorable judge that was assigned to the case on the lawsuit we filed on behalf of our company Preferred Communications, on our fight for the right to put up a cable company for the benefit of the minority community in L.A. She was biased and immediately dismissed the case. Hear the whole story inside the episode today and how this went all the way to the Supreme Court.

In our first nine episodes, we have discussed different social justice, racism, and political issues. You will be reminded of those as my story goes on. This episode is a kind of story that is a mix of Black on Black Racism, Effect of Black on Black Racism, True Meaning of Civil Rights, Term Limits to control Federal Government, and the Political Party System. It is shocking, but those issues we discussed can define what one person did. Connect with me and join me in creating awareness of real and current Social Justice Issues.

Welcome to another episode of Ooooh I'm Tellin'. What we will discuss for today's episode is Anarchy in the US. It may surprise you that anarchy exists in the USA, a first-world country. We used to hear about it from third-world countries. The anarchy that I will be addressing is anarchy in minorities and low-income communities. This happens because the government fails to protect all citizens and provide reasonable laws that people can live by. Here I mentioned black leadership failure which you can also read in my book WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

What you will learn inside:

•The real meaning of anarchy.

•The anarchy that exists in minorities and low-income communities.

•The gang mentality and its beginning.

•How gangs can take complete control over the police?

•My takeaway on the insurrection that happened in Capitol on January 06, 2022.

•Find out if these insurrectionists want anarchy to happen in our country or not?

•Learn what will cause anarchy.

•The failure of black leadership is explained. (This is written in my book WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN too)

•Anarchy is taking over in South Chicago, Baltimore, Kansas City, Houston, and South Philadelphia.

•It is not uncommon for anarchy to develop within any community because the media tends to ignore all the crimes that go on in minority communities unless they are so brazen that they draw the attention of the public, but that is rare because they are more concerned about one person not in the minority community.

•The sad reality of passing the 94 crime bill. Sacrificing minorities and low-income people to pretend that the crime rate will go down.

•My opinion on how to decrease anarchy.

We will discuss why this Digital Divide proposal is a scam in today's episode. Here is a sneak peek, did you know that it's NOT minorities, low-income households, and senior citizens in rural areas who will benefit the most from this affordable broadband and high-speed internet services? What is the role of the private sector in this big government project? We'll take a deep dive into another social justice and racism topic.

It has been in the news that our government led by our president will supposedly resolve the Digital Divide again in the country which began in 1992, where digital technology is more prevalent. President Biden, who was a Senator in 1992 was the one who is encouraging companies to monopolize on the internet access distribution.

Broadband and high-speed internet communications are aimed at providing access for those without such access including minorities, low-income households, and senior citizens in rural areas. People of this group have been denied access to broadband and high-speed internet communications for a very long time, causing them to be technology illiterate.

I must tell you that the digital divide didn't begin in 1992, it began in the 1980s when cable television was the latest technology available. We wanted to build cable television in South Central Los Angeles for the benefit of the community, but we were denied the opportunity. As a result, our community was far behind other cities in terms of utilizing cable television. I wrote the whole story in my first book titled "Anatomy of Hustle: Cable Comes to South Central L.A.".

It is everyone's childhood dream to play sports at a professional level. When you are a child, you look up to NBA players and wish to be in their shoes one day. In baseball, you are in awe of seeing your favorite pitcher and catcher on the field or TV playing. There have been sports betting on a variety of sports in the past. It is legal in some states here in the US.

But, what we will be tackling today is the Major League Baseball. I alternately call it, Major League Bookies. In MLB sports betting is being manipulated by giving statistics and pieces of information that allow them to make the best decisions on what odds to give the bettor. Indeed, they are real bookies. And the announcer acts like a booker too.

We all know that children watch sports too, and they aspire to be professional baseball players. My concern is, that they are promoting gambling to children too. They are influencing the youth to that betting is part of the game.

In today's episode, we will discuss the Major League Baseball booking in-depth issue and how it will affect our young ones' minds and perception of professional sports. When you tune in, you will be surprised to learn that there are different ways of betting in MLB.

If you google what democracy means, here is one of the top results "The definition of democracy is a form of government in which the common people hold political power and can rule either directly or through elected representatives. An example of democracy at work is in the United States, where people have political freedom and equality." Indeed we have political freedom, we have the right to elect officials that benefits our community. However, the problem is we have only two parties to choose from to elect. Based on Gallup polls surveys in 2021, 68 % of Americans supports that we need a third party. It is a dramatic increase from what the Gallup organization showed us in 2018, that 58% of Americans need a third party. In our episode today, you will learn the importance of a fulcrum party that will serve as a balance to political extremism.

Quote from Clinton:

"The concept of Democracy is NOT only a two-party system, the fact is democracy at a minimum must be two parties, but the definition of democracy states that is a multi-party system. The time has come for a third party to operate in the United States we have a less industrialized democracy in the world to maintain only a two-party system. Most of our allies many of our counterparts have third and fourth parties to serve to balance the two-party system with additional points of view and meaningful alternatives to the current policies instituted by the 2 party system."

We are all aware of what happened at Oscars 2022, the slapping incident between Chris Rock and Will Smith. Most people are praising Chris Rock because of the decency he shows after receiving a slap from Will Smith. Some people say what Will Smith does is just to protect his wife's honor.

I am not here to debate with you who is right and who is not. In this episode, we will discuss the deep understanding of what had happened, and my key takeaway on social justice and racism perspective. The issue that most people are preventing talking about is the impact of this encounter between the two rich, famous, and successful black men in general society, especially in black society.

Quote from Clinton:

"Let's define what racism is? I'm telling racism is prejudice discrimination or antagonism directed against a person or people on the basis of the membership in a particular racial or ethnic group. Typically, one that is a minority or is marginalized the definition does not say that the person perpetrating this racism must be another race because that is not so anyone can perpetuate racism as long as they designate the person receiving the treatment as being less than them. Therefore, entitled to whatever treatment they deem appropriate when a person of any color black or white takes physical action against the person based upon the color of their skin that is in fact racism."

The Federal Government is out of control. I believed that this is what most Americans are seeing too. We have ways of telling our Government officials that we are not satisfied with what is happening in their term. In today's episode, I will share ways we can let our Government Officials know about our dissatisfaction with their current term in the office. We will discuss the issue on term limits to control the Federal Government. Quote from today's episode: "We recognize our politicians must have absolute power. I would propose that federally elected legislators be limited to 18 years in office for that specific office."
