"POVERTY AND IGNORANCE EQUALS DEATH AND DISEASE. SOLVE
THESE AND YOU WILL HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF BLACK ON
BLACK VIOLENCE"
RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT POSTER ART
In my way of thinking about black on black violence from my studies and
personal experiences it is an effect / consequence rather than a cause /
primary issue. We live in the citadel culture of violence. There should be no
denial that from its inception America has been a country that glorifies wars
and violence in the name of "peace". She has been at war against Afrikan /
Black people from the time they brought us here against our will to date ( a
most violent process). Every year in its history America has been at war and

3. RBG STOP THE VIOLENCE LESSON Page 3
imposing violence in one form or another against one or more of its
"adversaries". Black people were/are reared and breed in a culture of white
mob violence, lynching, slavery, suffering and death. The history of violence
against Afrikans in Amerikkka is so horrific as to be almost beyond belief.
Socio-structural and institutional violence (vertical violence) begets
interpersonal and intrapersonal violence (horizontal violence).
Thus, the problem of black on black violence is
a problem of cultural mis -orientation, self-
alienation and self-hatred. What we are seeing
manifest as black on black violence is an
emulation of the cultural ways of our
oppressor. We have internalized his ways. This
is called intropression: When the oppressed
are subject to oppression as long as us we
internalize the oppressor and thus do to
ourselves what the oppressor once did to us.
When a Black man kills another Black man he's
saying in his mind "I'm gon kill you nigga" and
in actuality he's killing himself who he hates so
much because he was train to do
so...CULTURAL MIS-ORIENTATION LEADS TO
SELF HATRED.
Superimpose this on the facts of unprecedented unemployment rates in our
communities, miseducation and the dope game / government element
facilitated narcotization of our communities (CIA) , mass media propaganda
that feeds us a study diet of consumerism, materialism and individualism;
breeding jealousy, envy and haterism and you have all the ingredients for
self destruction.
That being said, for those of us that are suffering
from passivist psycho -pathology, please keep in
mind that much of the life process is necessarily a
violent experience, eg. childbirth, securing the meat
that most of us eat and even the hot food you put in
your mouth are all violent acts. My point here is that
maybe the solution to black on black violence in
amerikkka is RBG Luv. That is to say, proper
knowledge and cultural orientation will inform us
that we need to get RBGed Up and fight against the
causes to prevent the effect. In doing this however,
the first government we must overthrow is the government of our own
corrupt minds. Something RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is about helping
us do.

PART II OF LESSON: Dr. Amos Wilson
Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-
Annihilation in Service of White Domination
BLACK on BLACK VIOLENCE represents a distinct milestone in
criminology and Afrikan Studies. Its explanatory perspectives
on the Sociopsycho-logical and politicoeconomic causes of
Black-on-Black violence are exceptionally insightful, incisive,
and iconoclastic. The psychodynamics of the Black-on-Black
criminal are presented here with a depth and clarity rarely
seen before.

Black On Black Violence - Real Talk

What is it with us? Why do we kill each other at a rate that's
disproportionately higher than that of other people? Sure, we've heard the
excuses before - that we're prone to crime, violent by nature, and poor and
oppressed - but what are the real causes?

Here we are, in 2006, countless articles & news reports later, and our
precious communities are still in a state of distress. It appears that the
problem of black on black crime doesn't seem to be improving, but rather
steadily getting worse by the day. But what's really going on?
It's apparent to this
observant eye that more
often than not we're acting
out the way we're
expected to act -- that is,
fulfiling a role in society
that has been decided
upon and encouraged by
people other than us. All
we need to do is look at
the television or listen to
the radio to experience the
sobering statistics or the
self-hating bullshit that
now passes as black
entertainment on the
evidently racist major networks to confirm this fact. Thuggishness and
gangsterism, misogyny, brutality and ignorance have become synonymous
with black life in the eyes of many, both inside and outside of our
communities, as a result of both our actions and of corporate Amerikkka's
sanctioning and glorification of negative imagery and behavior. Our worst
attributes are always awarded, paraded and celebrated by those whose job it
is to keep us in a state of distress. Harsh, you say? Hardly. Fear of non-
whites is big business in Amerikkka, and shows like COPS and virtually any
news broadcast aid in the manifestation of that fear and the acceptance of
its remedies - increased police presence, new prison construction and the
passage of tougher laws. Besides, do you think black life really matters to
them? That they care if we kill each other off?
Understand that our focus and priorities need to change, and that nobody
can be relied upon to care about us but us. This should be obvious to all of
us by now. Things that many of us seem too often to be concerned with
(game, pimpin', the life, etc.) are of little importance to others. So let me
say it for the record - fuck game. Do you think the bank, the phone
company or a prospective employer care about game? Care about pimpin'?
Life goes on without it. And while game may make you cute in the eyes of
shallow folks, nowadays what you know is more important than how you
look or act. Contrary to popular belief, nigga-slick is out of fashion. Only

through education and hard work will we move beyond simply surviving to
success.
But back to the point. While the violence we see and hear on TV, films, and
in black music remains a contributing factor that keeps us on our self-
destructive path, it is by no means the sole reason. Many of us have a pent-
up rage that easily triggers aggression -- aggression that often results from
a combustible blend of cultural and racial baggage that many of us carry.
What we need to do now is break out of the mold of acting out in ways
expected of us. Angry black men without focus aren't a threat to anyone but
themselves, and have become the targets of ridicule by those outside of our
communities. Again, who cares if we kill each other off? We must care.
It can be argued that black life is viewed by many as being worthless, and it
should come as no surprise that many studies have confirmed that the
punishment blacks receive when the victims of violent crime are white is far
more severe than if the victims are black. Add to this the lack of opportunity,
sense of deprivation, powerlessness and alienation that many of us
experience since birth and the picture becomes all-too-clear -- that society is
not set up for our benefit. We have to make our own way, and in order to
get there we must first respect ourselves and each other. Easier said than
done, you say? Why? Everything is easier when we get along, especially
since it appears that many others don't want us to. The name of the game
now is to be focused. Stay focused on not only the present, but on your
future too. How many young folks today can't envision themselves older
than 25? How many plan for the future at all?
The devaluation of black life by systematic racism and the media has
encouraged many of us to have disrespect for life and to act out our
aggressions onto others -- often with the victims being women and other
black males. When this happens, we all lose.
And what about gangs and drugs? The introduction of crack cocaine by the
CIA into our communities during the 1980's made black youth gangs bigger
and more dangerous than they had ever been before. The illicit profits of
drug trafficking provided, and continues to provide, vicious incentives for
those of us without direction, immediate opportunity or hope to murder
ourselves. In fact, much of the recent escalation in the murder rates can be
directly traced to busted drug deals, competition over markets, disputes
over turf and bruised egos.
So what must we do? We must take responsibility, first and foremost, for
both ourselves as individuals and as a collective. We must understand that
our brothers and sisters are not our enemies. Again, we have no one to look

out for us but us. When you see wrong, speak on it. Intervene. Reach out to
your friends and family if they are at risk, and be receptive to other people's
points of view if you are feeling like violence is your only alternative. You
might just save your life or the life of someone you know.
