Memorial of Racism – Never Ignored. Never Forgotten.
The intent of sharing this page is to honor and acknowledge the generations of Black Lives, past and present,
for their strength, resilience and continuing will to survive and press forward, while enduring all manner of assaults against
their humanity and quality of life.
Situation Board
The Situation Board (or Incident Board), borrows from a tool often used by law enforcement (to connect-the-dots between what is known and unknown in an investigation), by hospital staff (to provide an overview of their patient population and the level of injuries and treatments in effect, in order to manage professional operations), by manufacturers (to act as a production status show-and-tell to facilitate just-in-time production) and in many other areas of activity where outcomes are critical.
What is common in each scenario, is the necessity to respond intelligently and effectively to the circumstances and events being monitored and reviewed, by reducing confusion, emotional subjectivity, and the potential for chaos. They have determined that the best use of resources for achieving immediate and long-term goals, comes by way analyzing available information and strategically planning a way forward.
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
Criminal Profiling
There are two important, but very different, elements in criminal profiling:
- Modus Operandi (M.O) – the pattern or method by which one goes about getting something done and their motive for doing it
- Signature...
- helps to identify the personality, character, fears, and deep emotional needs of offenders, the essence of who they are that never changes, but only adapts and evolves
- shows you what they need to happen in order to fulfill their emotional fantasy
- shows you what is important to them on a deeply personal level -- witness the overkill in the constant railing against and focus on destroying the legacy of former President Barack Obama (who happens to be Black-biracial) by current President Donald Trump, who shows no reserve or composure in masking his fantasy of superiority or the darkness in his soul, that will never change. NOTE: We are priveleged to witness, in this modern era, the amount of effort and energy that a white man will exert to rewrite history in order to obliterate any reference to the power or the intellect of Blackness, even if it means thwarting progress and the well-being of the many.
- Torturing, overkill, mutilation, passing lynching postcards as souvenirs, exposing genitals of black males are all "signatures", each driven by psychological needs and fantasies white racist to degrade the lives of African American so that they sooth themselves into feeling better
- of racists are born of racist notions shared with the young, early in life, in order to prime their fantasies toward murder and hatred, so that they develop a compulsion to act out
Bringing On Change
With their actions and history in full display, and a tool for analysis in hand, we can begin to evolve how we as a people, culturally regard racism and white supremacy. For instance, when we embrace the fact that their signature will never change, and that they will always seek a way to fulfill their fantasy, then we will continue focus on our transformation, rather than register surprise at the next heinous act - vileness, inhumanity and hypocrisy are known to be their combined footprint.
Our only job is to break the psychological bondage that continues to grip us as a people and contain the fantasy in which they live to this generation and no further. But, remembering that change lies within us to ascend to our truth, and not for them to change from their lies. Just as racist bring a legacy of murderous hatred and hypocrisy to their offspring, we must mentally exclude them from our leadership mission of bringing knowledge, truth, and intellect (cultural thoughts) to our children, as THE equal and opposite reaction to hateful ignorance in the human condition of the racist. Not just our own.
Please let us find the path to unity and mentor one another. So be it.
