How to Stop the Senseless Killings in America's Black Communities Part 2

Police Use of Unnecessary Force
With such a sickening number of murders occurring in the Black communities across the U.S., it is clear that the criminal activity has to end. 

As alluded to in Part 1, criminals in the Black community emerge from Black families who live in those communities and is a reflection of the values learned in these families. 


The culture and values in these families and communities must be changed to "Stop the Killings. Uplift Black lives".
Mindset of Black Men Must Change
The mindset of Black men must be changed from killing to protecting – realizing that the police slogan of “we serve and protect” is at best a bold faced lie. Protecting their families and communities has been a long tradition held among Black men and must be re-established. Change must begin to occur in our families and communities. Parents and their children must begin to value their lives and other Black lives.
Certain segments of the Black communities must have their level of consciousness raised to the understanding that the control of the quality of life within the Black communities must begin with those who reside in those communities.
Police Must Be Held Accountable
The police must be held accountable for their role in serving and protecting. Moreover, those police who engage in misconduct and participate in the killing of Black people must not be allowed to be protected by unions and punished to the fullest extent of the law just like anyone else. We pay their salaries, provide for their health care, and give them an overly generous pension – all out of proportion to what the average citizen receives in Social Security.
Schools Must Be Held Accountable
The schools must be held accountable for educating our children with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to compete for the type of jobs emerging over the next 5 to 10 years and beyond. Black parents must advocate for school choice so as to have the opportunity to put their youngsters in school that will educate their children and not mis-educate them. Moreover, the politicians must understand that they will be voted out if they don't represent their constituents as expected.
Solutions Must Come From These Communities 
In that Black communities are directly impacted by these killings, the solutions have to come from these communities. As stated earlier, Black men have to take the leadership role in reversing this trend which will then result in their taking control of their families, communities, politicians, and police. 

This will happen as Black men begin again to connect with their ancient traditions and their true Afrikan identity and accept the values and principles that truly define their Afrikan manhood. They will begin to change internally and thereby rejecting any type of negative identities imposed on them from the outside. 
They will begin to view their communities as an incubator for raising their families in a safe and secure environment. They will again become protectors of their communities rather than predators. 

If you missed Part 1, here it is. Leave your thoughts and comments below.
