What Happens When The Marching Stops For Trayvon?
I support every march and every marcher standing up for the Justice Of Trayvon Martin but what is next what can be done to ensure that we influence change on a larger scale. An economic strike is the only true way to reach the city of Sanford, political leaders and its police force. We have to send a message that the African American Dollar is paying the bills for the police department the same as other members of the community. As African Americans we must understand that the power to influence change does not just come from how loud we are but how smart we move. We have two things, our money and our vote. When excerised hand in hand, we can move mountains. We can influence laws, have more fair access to financial services, medical care, education for our kids and we would have had Zimmerman arrested by now. Disparities in our community run deep they do not start and stop with racial profiling. Our disparities are also economic yet we spend billions of dollars outside of our communities each year. If that money was spent with black businesses, we would raise our communities up. We deposit billions in banks that will not assist us when we want to grow our business when we can invest local community banks. If we continue being shackled by economic inequality we will always be focused on surviving without thought of moving forward so we can truly achieve Civil Rights.

We can keep pressure on those that have killed Black People by POSTING their information within the Black Communities. Their information is PUBLIC INFORMATION and should be viewed by Black people to be aware that those that endanger life are considered a THREAT and potential domestic TERRORIST within the Black Communities.
Next, if we DO NOT riot, or damage our OWN BLACK communities in riots, we should consider INVESTIGATION and LOOKING INTO the shooting of ANOTHER BLACK person that was UNARMED. A beautiful black girl, REKIA BOYD was shot by a Chicago Police officer. She was shot in the HEAD and died. Officers name is Dante Servin, CAP.

Why hasn’t this gained news like Trayvon Martin? They both occurred about the same time. March 27,2012.
We request and demand that “Warren Ballentine” Host a NEW TV Show. If Russ Parr can get a movie, if Al Sharpton can get on MSNBC, why can’t we see Warren Ballentine Host a news like “Face the Nation”. Maybe a panel of talent, like Dr, West, Dr. York, Tavis Smiley and Warren Ballentine. Address NEWS of interest in the Black Communities across the Nation.
Take our money, instead of Fox News sports packages, we need to put our money towards an all Black Legal Team, or fund groups already in place to train the minds of young black women and girls. In range from Million Woman Movement founded by EmpressChi to Day of Action Movement(s). Form a united front so things like senseless killings don’t continue to go without CONSEQUENCES.
TAKE notations of killings of All Black people that occurred within the United States, from Oscar Grant, Aldolph Grimes, Troy Davis to recent Rekia Boyd and Trayvon Martin. Send documentations to the UNITED NATIONS. Demand they do not do any business with the United States until laws are changed in the US to keep Black people from being killed, senselessly.
Black police officers receive the same training, same equipment, same bullets, same guns as White / Caucasian police officers. We NEVER see instances where Black cops, beat, punch, taz, kick, or kill White / Caucasian suspects or perps, like White / Caucasian police officers do to Black people, suspects, or perps. So, we need to address the God Complex most White / Caucasian officers seem to have when they put on a badge and a gun. I recommend that they take classes in African American Studies and Psyc. Evaluation testing for PTSD and other syndromes before becoming certified police officers.
