Race Traitors:

   The fictional novel, Race Traitors depicts a struggle between a community and a street gang. In 1974 the murder rate in the City of Chicago reached an all time high. Black youths were dying in record numbers as the Blackstone Rangers waged a rancorous battle for control of the streets in the Woodlawn Community.  Although the novel identifies the Blackstone Rangers as the primary offender, there is a higher message presented between the chapters.  Fraticide, the murder of a person of the same race has perpetually escaped our sociologists, creating a perception that fraticide is socially acceptable.  Those of you who are familar with the "The Willie Lynch" document should re-examine it to see how it's teaching still infect our race. It has become endemic like a virus that has no cure. "The Willie Lynch Virus" continues to haunt the black race, cloaked under dressings of ignorance and self hate, the murders continue.

   It is time for us as a nation of people who have endured the limit of suffering to eliminate this virus from our race. Again I challenge any person to deliver the number of black youths, men and women who have lost their lives as a result of fraticide over the past 40 years. Present those hard numbers to the public.  Submit those hard numbers to the media and demand an answer. Why have so many people died as a result of violence between one black person and another?

   Dr. Martin Luther King once said after the death of Malcom X in 1965:  " As a race of people, we have not learned how to disagree without being violently disagreeable."

Race Traitors presents this journey. Will you please join me in stomping out this violence in our race.

The continued violence perpetrated by black youth gangs has not been adequately addressed by the news media or the black community.  Mothers continue to loose childern through acts of gun violence at an alarming rate. Politicians, local and goverment agencies, churches and community organizations have failed to post this malady as a sickness among black youths. News paper headlines continue to sell news papers that sensationalize this type of violence. The quote, " If it does not bleed, it does not lead," alledgely used by news reporters continues to be the formula for top sales.

     What is your reaction to this complaint? Can you define a notable response that will energize the community to address the loss of thousands of lives over the past 40 years, not only in the City of Chicago, but throughtout America!
