The black community needs to demand answers on Senator Louis Lucas actions towards Black Democratic Candidates

Democratic Va Senator Louise Lucas and Former Governor McAuliffe need to tell the truth behind their agenda with the monument, BLM, and MLK Committee.  They showed up and help orchestrate the mess that still has 14 + black men and women still having an arrest record so they could give all the black Democratic candidates the shaft.  A charge dismissal still shows up on your criminal record unless its  expunged, which costs hundreds of dollars.  McClellan  and Foy are 2 black women running for Governor of Virginia.  Was all of the mess in Portsmouth a political stunt to get a Mr. blackface friend elected.  The black community needs to know she endorsed McAuliffe  over all the Black DNC Candidates and threatened to have Democrat House of Delegatees Jenkins to recant his endorsement of Foy primaries and voted out in his election bid.  Is Lucas hustling votes from the black community to get a Mr. BLACKFACE friend elected.  Lucas appears to be using the black community to line her pockets while conning social justice activists.

Rutledge for Virginia Governor wants an answer on why Lucas doesn’t find black people adequate to be Governor but qualified to destroy monuments.

Rutledge for Virginia Governor 2021 – “There will no longer be all white or black juries in Virginia. There will be 4 white, 4 black, 4 hispanic/non latino legal citizens that decides justice with our juries. This is a very bold move. I could care less if any establishment has a problem with it, because I don’t answer to them. I answer to the American people and our juries should be representative of a verdict worthy of the public confidence. I pledge to all Virginians that I will make sure this happen and I hope other states follow suit. However, this is the most meaningful form of criminal justice reform that has everyone represented. There will not be any all any race as a jury. We will have justice that we all can believe in. Our juries will be diverse – just like our great Commonwealth and America!

Rutledge for Virginia Governor says “Read the Contract and the details before jumping on racially directed DNC business loans!”

Remember it’s always your job to read contracts that you enter into and meet the conditions and terms. The DNC and their banks are now our community loan sharks. All of a sudden Citi group and other Never Trump Banks are trying to give out racially directed loans. Now this is a set up! This is the history of the Democratic Party. They give you money with super high interest rates during a recession. This means your ideas and wealth stands little chance in this type of hoax economy that you voted with Biden. This means for pennies on the dollar. The banks will take everything you own and use your own ideas as more wealth for banks. Instead of owning your business. They will own you and your business. China is right now steadily buying American businesses for pennies on the dollar. Under Virginia current leaders, expect this to happen to your business by the politicians a.k.a socialist vultures. That’s exactly what your business will sell for with these loan sharks – pennies on the dollar. I have no problem with interest rates and capitalism. I will support it fully. I rather the community to be the shark, not the bait. I do have a problem with the fact that you voted for Biden under another lie! At least, I’m willing to tell you the truth of the matter. For example: “You got a very good tasting cupcake factory. The economy causes your business to go belly up. You can then expect Walmart to have their name on your cupcake and you will be never mentioned as making it. Sounds like the history some thought was good to take away. Your idea and business will be taken away from you and your vote represents the precedence of your community wealth being wiped out for Walmart style monopolies. Most businesses can’t afford a DNC/ Biden economy of shut downs. The sad thing is too many voted for it. I will make sure in Virginia moving forward that we maintain our small businesses and that we build good credit, not unnecessary debt by continued poor DNC management and gimmicks! Remember President Trump gave the green light to Ice Cube platinum plan. Too bad no one took the time to find out what it was about before giving it up for hate of Trump. Not the love of your achievements and being driven by success.

Real Racism

     Real Racism
A lot of times when a race issue comes up then it is really the media creating the controversy. I know of people from all races that have supported the black community and it’s families in the Trayvon Martin case, Marissa Alexander case, Michael Elder case and Michael Dunn’s killing based off Stand your Ground laws and Police Brutality. The media has not pointed out that much,. That even our own kind, has successfully been acquitted by the same laws over senseless acts of violence that did not have to take a gun to resolve, but cooler heads willing to talk instead of shoot would have been a better compromise.
Firstly, it is rare for the media to point the camera on the other races that show up at these rallies, vigils, and marches of injustice that may be done on behalf of a particular family seeking justice which race may be opposite of those in the crowd. It is being done on purpose and through what I call media segregation. It is being done to make us to believe that we are the only ones that care about our own kind and that is simply not true. It is their meaning select media’s job and directives to make it a black and white issue to manufacture its own story of controversy, when in all actuality it is a multi-cultural issue that people feel justice was not done and has yet to be fulfilled in the cases I have mention previously in this article. We always will continue to have media spin doctors to put stories in their view and does not reflect the real issue at hand.
Furthermore, you will notice on Facebook and on other media and blog websites that there are derogatory, defamatory, and racially insensitive dumb comments to blend in with the articles on what they view as a race related injustice. We should all want the same thing justice. No matter our personal prejudice, bias, or opinion, the goal for everyone should be seeking justice through innocence, not guilty, or with guilt. We all have been or known victims. They may not look like us, but we feel and pray that they can have closure during a time of great crisis. Moreover, there fight is still our fight, but a coward does not even deserve a piece of the sidewalk.
Secondly, during my return to Norfolk, I have enjoyed the meetings with civic leaders and with people of many different backgrounds. The problems of the City continue to exist, but there is more of a will for people to keep moving foward and not backwards. This was demonstrated through a revived energy of leadership before, during and after the election. Michael J. Muhammad has proven that he is the leadership and the voice of the black community. In order for Mayor Fraim to effectively take on the issues that we have in our City is by seeing, knowing, and proving that our leadership exists that is unwavering and that example was what he faced during his re-election campaign. There is no way Mayor Fraim can avoid, ignore, or dismiss the black community, because our voice is loud and clear. The media comes to Mr. Michael J. Muhammad for the response to racial injustice in the City and rarely do I hear a group that he has to represent for, because he represents the whole community. We are always proud to hear his answer represents us and not protective and protracted statements that lets injustices get off the hook. He is the leadership that is no longer in crisis.
Thirdly, All black people do not hate white people because it is false. All white people do not hate black people because that’s false. It is always someone on your side on any point of view that you can imagine. It may not be the people you expect that will be on your side, this is true. Furthermore, I am the prime example of finding out how many people that I never thought, knew, or had the privilege of meeting that I would find out was on my side. They paid more attention to my character and the issues that I address before making an informed decision about me. I encourage them to do the same for others and continue the quest of knowledge of an issue and not ignorant of the lack of in their own disposition of others.
Moreover, I spoke with one of my professors before coming to the area. I take her words very seriously and sometimes I need to have that reality check. She said I was arrogant and had a “I do not give a fuck attitude.” This was not a complete assessment of who I am, but who I was starting to become. I was letting my enemies begin to win when I already had them losing.
Accordingly, I had to go back to what I love instead of embracing the confrontation to take on hate. A good teacher, mentor, or person that has taken on that role of guidance will continue to mold me for a bigger purpose and that is all that I hope that everyone has a opportunity to find. The definition of being what you want to become and not what other’s hope that they can destroy.
Lastly, I am happy to be here and look forward to meeting and saving the best for last because the work will continue forward. Do not let the hate that comes from a few address an entire population. Put your shoes on the other foot, the race is irrelevant. The question that I ask everyone is how would you feel if the same injustice happen to someone that you loved? The answer should be the same that should be given to others and be committed to actions that create justice and not silence. Everyone that you think hates you is making you out to be a lie, because it is no truth in that statement. Whether it be God or someone you may or may not know, it is always someone that loves you!

Danville Register and Bee newspaper is accused of yellow journalism  and sensationalism when it comes down to City of Danville, Va and its police officers.

      As those on my facebook page or is privilege to hear me on television know their is a on-going civil rights case being fought in federal court against the City of Danville, Va.  Michael Elder filed suit last year to address his false arrest, illegal search, excessive force complaint, and refusal to provide medical care against the City and its police officer E.K. Thompson.  The Danville Register and Bee would report only that the City of Danville would be dismissed, but made no mention of officer E.K Thompson being accused and being a party to the lawsuit.  He accuses them of sensationalism which reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that don’t influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner.[
  Elder states, “It’s obvious they don’t won’t the facts of this case to get out. The truth needs to be heard & the news paper has continuously refused my attempts to tell my story. It’s my opinion they know if the truth gets out the police aren’t going to look good in the end but don’t worry I tape my conversations over the last 2yrs & the truths going to be heard on cross exam on 5-22-2014. The truth will come to the light..”   However in Rutledge vs. Town of Chatham, Va which was filed in the same court.  The same newspaper would report the parties dismissed and include the fact that the lawsuit was allowed to proceed against Officer Roach in 2010.  Also, during the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisor lawsuit there would be wide spread coverage of every hearing which included the trial.  Moreover, it appears that the Michael Elder case is not being covered because of the newspaper inability to write anything negative about the City of Danville, Va and its employee but will play tough any other local government in their coverage area.  Moreover, Michael Elder claims are becoming well-founded as he scolded Robert Benson, lead editor for the Danville Register and Bee, for lack of reporting his trial against the City’s police department today on facebook.
      It appears that the Danville, Va Register and Bee will only write articles against any other local government but the City of Danville which may put them in a negative light.   Danville, Va Register and Bee is known for attacking and trying to discredit black leadership.  However, the most important people know the truth and consider the Danville Register and Bee newspaper another method of racism, discrimination, and suppression of black news and accomplishments.  Louis Farrakhan stated to the black community and to its leadership to beware of the spin doctors in the media, they can make Jesus appear to be a tyrant.  Thank you Michael Elder for staying on top of these puppet masters.

2.  Breaking News: Danville, Va Police allegedly OK’s stranger taking
minor without parent knowledge or consent!

The Danville, Va police allegedly tells a (African American )Danville,
Va woman that a stranger (White adult) can take their child somewhere
without the parents consent. Do you believe a child under the age of
13 has the right to consent to anywhere with a stranger (alone in
their vehicle) without the parents permission and how would you feel?
The story is as follow!
 Breaking News: The police allegedly tells a Danville, Va woman T.
 .A that a stranger can take their child somewhere without the
 parents consent. Do you believe a child under the age of 13 has the
 right to consent to anywhere with a stranger (alone in their vehicle)
 without the parents permission and how would you feel? The parent
 that was a victim name is T.A, initials for minor parent, can be
reached at T.A Danville, Va 24541.

T.A asserted she tried to get a restraining order and warrant
 for abduction and the police said no law was broken, even though the
 parent was unaware of the child being taken by a stranger without her
 permission. V.H, accused adult that took child without parent’s
 knowledge or consent, is being accused of taking the African American
 child out for ice cream in order to get info in regards to the child’s
 family life. There has been tension in the neighborhood with the
 woman V.H (white) and Ms. T. A’s family in which she accuses her kids
 of being drug dealers and her daughter being pregnant. V.H alleged
conversation about pregnancy or anything sexual crosses the line when
dealing with a minor without the parents knowledge.

She lives in a predominately all white neighborhood. The T.A woman
 has even tried to take out a warrant on the 10 year old son for
 obtaining money under false pretenses. T.A family considers this
another method of harrassing an African American family in the
neighborhood. V.H is not a employee of the Department of Social
Services, nor should she be acting in such a capacity or manner
without cause.

After trying to make a complaint, the police department
 stated to the parent allegedly that nothing could be done. This would
be a concern to any reasonable parent that a minor can consent with an
adult to take them anywhere without the parents permission. Also the
Danville, Va
 Commonwealth Attorney told the parents of the boy allegedly that its
 his discretion and refuses to prosecute the case.

The Danville magistrate allegedly also told the parents that it
 was not enough evidence to bring charges. The FBI warns parents and
 children to not take candy or financial offers from adult strangers as
 this could be a sign of luring a child into criminal control, such as
 pedophiles.

Merle Rutledge has contacted the local legislatures, Virginia
 Senators, Virginia Governor’s office and other state public safety
 department to try to put legislation through the general assembly to
 punish and criminalize adults that take children without their parent
 permission and to criminalize those that do not make an attempt to let
 the parent know as soon as possible, the reason for taking the child
 and the purpose in which the child was brought back to to them in
 their custody. The adult stranger should immediately contact, once a
child is in their custody without the parent’s knowledge or consent,
the
 police department and make a mandatory report under such
 circumstances, in order to decrease any exploitation or criminal
 intention in regards to the adult, if the situation is based off an
 emergency decree. Children are offered candy, toys, CDs, drugs,
 money, etc. to persuade them to go willingly with a potential abductor
 or as a reward for tolerating abuse or keeping it secret.

Most children are abused by someone they know and trust. Pedophiles
 exploit these relationships and are experts at taking advantage of
 normal tensions between teenagers and parents as well as youngsters
 who face issues at home like divorce, substance abuse or neglect.

      There is a young black man and woman in school right now making straight A’s and doing a outstanding job in school and in the community.  She will never be put on the front page of a newspaper in this area for there accomplishments, but someone in jail or charged with crimes (murder, rape, or lengthy sentences) is considered a headline or front page article in this area.  If they do good in a sport and not academics than they may make it into the newspaper for their letter of intent in the sports section.  It sets the tone that we are mules for sports and our minds are not of importance. 

 

      To put a front page article of a strong mind is more dangerous to society than one that will never continue to contribute to it.   This is the seed or racism and generational discrimination by a hidden message that shallow thinkers will accept and deeper minds will always reject.  The reason for this is they do not want their own kinds, alongside others, to respected and accept others as law abiding citizens in the City or County.  There would be no news to buy if drama is not in the cycle.  However, they rather report nothing good in their eyes, no matter how positive, can come or be from the black community.  The same goes for the front page article of the head of a department or corporation that is on the front page of your local newspaper for their company achievement, but will never mention the names of its employees that manufactured its glory and iconic image. 

 

       The only reason why people fear us is because it is the only thing published.  The common response is that I haven’t heard anything to change my mind.  The bad thing is that they are correct, but also they are in their world of ignorance, because they failed to challenge themselves to see if what is being written/said is fact of a entire population.  A small negative subset is not appropriate to use as a fact that represents a positive population.  The world is full of good and bad people from all backgrounds and ethnicities.  You can form your own conclusion, which is your fundamental right, but fictional research will never outweigh or be accepted as fact.  There is many that create theories but it is always someone waiting to destroy that theory with a law.  A theory has yet to be disproven to that individual.  A law can never be disproven because it is fact about the population.  The newspaper is full of theory, but the way you handle yourself in society is a fact. So why are you buying their newspaper to fund the trend.

       Firstly, Mr. Robertson can not go to jail because of what he said. However this is the ultimate showcase of our right to be free to speak the way that we feel. Also, many of us have attitudes that other people may not like and we have a right to be associated or to create distance from those that we do not share the same philosophy.

      The First Amendment is so progressive and we must be liberal to start being tolerant of the right to say what you want to say, but also must be aware that it is consequences. You can not call in a bomb threat or say its a fire in a movie theater, so the right is not absolute. You can not threaten to kill someone, because what you are saying directly effects someone else.  He accepted the terms of a contract and if his religious self could not meet those obligations than he should have made the right decision in the first place and turned down the offer.

        You are welcome to commit your own type of suicide of your public or private reputation even if it affects you financially. You can not work for someone and call your boss derogatory names that he does not like because you will be fired All employers should be on the side of the company and not the Duck Dynasty, because one of the major reasons that companies cite to deny someone unemployment is violating a company rule designed to protect the business interest of that particular company. He violated a company rule and respect the company decision. A lot of companies and municipalities have social media policy and if you break their rule than termination is a option always on the table. Did the network have a right to distance themselves from his free speech. Yes, because they also have the right not be apart of or agree to his rhetoric.

      So in all actuality, people saying that he has a right to free speech should respect the right of assembly. This does not mean you have to force someone or a network to have you their show and vice versa. I laugh when people say corporations are people to and than those that claim this wants to pick and choose what a company decides to do. We live in a very kettle calling the other kettle black world. I am just getting through the b.s of this argument and those that try to be on one side of the coin. This issue is not that complicated. The Duck Dynasty can go to a network that agrees with their philosophy and this network has a right to cancel their contract.

Cracker barrel restaurant stated its most loyal customers wanted the Duck Dynasty products back on their shelves.  I guess as long as the negative comments are  about gays and black people its ok.  I hope people really start waking up and start being loyal black people that handle business the same way.  So next time you are eating breakfast or whatever at the restaurant than you are not a loyal customer compared to these good ole folks!
