☕ Morning fam,
There is a HUGE disconnect. Elected leaders, people in position and nonprofits have no idea the depth of the damage resulting from federal indictments of city and county leaders… and the slow, tepid lackluster responses from regional leadership. Even local media used to covering the fuckery were slow to pick up on this wasn’t business as usual.
When the news broke there were no demands that anybody step down, which added fuel to an already dumpster fire of skepticism and mistrust of those in power…especially with those that took to the street during Ferguson, only to see their movement for Justice for Mike Brown hijacked by BLM with the complicity local leaders, nonprofits, actorvists and paid protesters… only to see Mike Brown not get justice after carers were made off the death of Mike Brown, comeuppance, people living their best lives off Darren Wilson murdering Michael Brown, lives they would never live otherwise.
Given the regional bribery and corruption exposed we need to circle back and question whether bribery and corruption was the reason Wesley Bell refused to reopen the into the murder of Mike Brown or even launch one in the murder of Darren Seals. If negro leaders would sell out so cheap to Arab store owners, imagine what they would do for a billionaire.
In Kim Gardner’s case we already see, push her financial backer Soros’ agendas, be it going after Greitens or embracing and imposing to the detriment of black people and the black community resulting in high crime and record homicides.
The bribery and corruption charges come in the aftermath of revelations that BLM defrauding the black community and could also explain why there has been zero investigations or audits of millions that came in here during Ferguson despite Jamala Rodgers of OBS publicly stating they would provide one.
And what about the Ferguson Commission’s recommendations that were never implemented? What about all the advances and reforms that were passed but rescinded? The failure of #ResignLyda?
This is bigger than those indicted, it s an indictment of the Dem Party, of black politics, City Hall, the County Council, Kim Gardner and Wesley Bell (on whose watch this happened), the nonprofits, justice and social justice. We even have to question the motives behind imposing disastrous woke policies that have even been rejected in the liberal mecca, San Francisco.
I want to respond to an argument being made about motivation and how we moving forward… To those making the white folks are trying to take over the city argument… let’s say that’s true, you ire should be with the indicted and those in power that allowed this shit to go on for years, decades… not those of us who demand they be held accountable. They opened the door for whatever white folks do.
And as for how we move forward, see here’s the thing, the old guard is used to sweeping shit under the rug and turning a blind eye and trying to move forward without dealing with the corruption or holding anyone accountable…. because “white folks watching”.
That’s how we got here, refusal to hold our own accountable, deflection and whataboutism.
