David Dorn: Symbol of Black People Against Crime.


The murder of 77 year old retired St Louis, MO., police captain David Dorn this month was a special punch in the gut feeling reserved for Black men and women slain fighting the good fight in written off urban areas.

Another gut punch came in July, 2019, as a double homicide of a pair of Chicago women, Chantelle Grant and Andrea Stoudemire, part of a mothers street patrol which occupied trouble spots to quell violence and offer hostage residents safe passage. They were killed where they stood watch as a warning to other community crusaders.

I shouldn't have to say it but it must be said: the inner city has concerned citizens too. Elite liberal television producers and newspaper editors don't give community crusaders as much coverage as they do negativity making crusaders necessary in the first place. Our community crusaders constitute the best kept secret in Black America.

My grassroots security consulting started beside frightened inner city residents whose crime concerns I took to often disinterested decision makers. Inspiration was drawn from heroic fiction and real life heroes like anti crack cocaine activist Herman Rice  and Eastside High School principal Joe Clark, immortalized by actor Morgan Freeman in the 1989 movie, "Lean on Me." 

My own urban safety battle makes me appreciate slain community crusader David Dorn even more.

Well into retirement age, the late captain nonetheless kept serving and protecting. He died securing a pawn shop from armed looters misusing the Minneapolis death of George Floyd to pillage their city.

Mr. Dorn's life represents what real brothers and sisters do: fight crime by providing protection and prevention services. In addition to doing law enforcement and private security, he mentored youth and even counseled those he arrested. Such largeness of spirit is what captive communities need to displace negativity.

David Dorn is a symbol of Black people, and Americans period, against crime.

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon  Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare
