Ghetto Terrorism is what?
By M. Bennett Hooper

What is ghetto terrorism? The first answer is usually Black on Black crime and that is definitely an act of terrorism. The second could be substandard housing, healthcare, and education. The list goes on. In my humble opinion the most terrifying is the lack of parenting of ghetto captive children.. I do not accept the lack of a fathers presence as the primary reason for captive ghetto children. I place blame where birth begins right at the birth canal.

Most people castigate Black men for the downfall of the race and to those people I issue a reminder, it takes two to tango and I don't see a proliferation of artificial inseminations occurring in the Black Community. What I do see is women being validated by men if only for a few nights or days in an unhealthy relationship.

A man or another woman does not make you whole. God makes you whole and, until you recognize and accept the reality of your existence you will forever chase rainbows and sprinkle children hither and yon. Men who devalue women, especially Black men are devaluing you Black woman. Wake up smell the roses and reclaim yourself. Your preacher can't do it for you because in the ghetto most times his ministry is for himself and his family.

You can't buy your way into paradise though it is often sold at market value. Unaffordable status symbols are meaningless when you buy junior tennis shoes for one hundred fifty dollars and run out of food before your next check is received.

When the juniors of the world grow up and treat all women they encounter as whores where does the template come from which aids in the formulation of his ideas.? Could it be mama who has four children and four baby daddies and possibly three more boyfriends before junior reaches adulthood? Perhaps it's cousin Bobby who in conversations with junior refers to all women as bitches and or whores but most times a combination of both.

What about the young Black women who prostitute themselves in videos that project a worldwide image of American Black women who for temporary monetary gains are advertised as wanton whores. These same women are in videos with male entertainers who think little of them except for their accessibility as a free ride. These same young Black women don't seem to know who the real prostitutes are when they are the male entertainers they adore for the moment.

Think not then let them get out of line with the record companies who profit from these images. There are hundreds more un-incarcerated who will willingly take their place because the corporate slave masters don't have to beat them into submission.

Immigration is not a threat to the Black Community nor are wars in faraway places. The greatest threat to Black people in America is homegrown and it is not outside our front doors. It is inside our homes, inside our families, and inside our institutions, many of which have become of little value. Free and dumb is no longer acceptable let us join like minded souls in showing others what true freedom really means.

FREEDOM NOW OR DIE A COWARD BY ACCEPTING BUSINESS AS USUAL.
