The targeting of Cyrus Carmack-Belton.
White my back ground is of an cultural activism, organizer, and anti racism being against systemic and internalized racism, and bringing people together for cultual healing. I feel like this case is one to look at and break down systemic racism, internalized racism, and how it is employed. and enjoyed in this case. That allowed bigoted and racist Chinese people like the Chows that have a bias against Black people are able to use the law to defend their heinous actions against Black people. I need to point out I'm not going to pain all Chinese people bigoted and racist, but we have to deal with the reality that for Black people to believe that's not true many Chinese people need to stand up and work against the racism and bigotry being show towards Black people and some are. Some trying have and are. We must be aware of the difference.

The purpose of this is not to target Chinese people but as an every day person, to point out how the system of oppression works in this case as I see, so others can point it out learn the system, we educate each other so we can better defend our communities and hold others accountable for assisting others in their racist and bigoted attacks against innocent Black people.

Overtime as I am looking at this case I will highlight parts that stand out to me that I don't feel were addressed and systemically allowed these bigot to get off.
1: Alice Chow the instigator!
2: Laws that give loop whole to allow non Black people to create violent situations with Black people and kill them in self defense.
3: The using of Black professionals to dispute the accusations of racism.
4: The psychology of legal defense. ( I admit I am not skilled here but there is something that jumped out at me that makes me curious in this case).
5: How Black and White people are shown differently with guns.

Today I will start with Alice Chow is the instigator! This is another case of a the killing of a Black male resulting from the words or accusation of a woman, and there not being cooler heads to prevail. There were no cooler heads with the chows why? they have not no humanity when it comes to Black people. The Black lawyer Shaun Kent, stated during the closing statements that this wasn't over a bottle of water isn't really wrong.

The fact that the Chow family left the store unattended, that allows for anything to be stolen let us know there is something more going on. The question is what? The people left in the store were adult Black people that didn't fight the description of an unruly person they could get away with targeting. The reason I feel this way is because Chow shot at a Black woman in 2015 saying that she stated she was going to shoot chow. Chow then went and got his gun and shot at the car while it was driving away.

I don't know about you but I'm having serious issues with Chow account of what took place in 2015, and now. I also take issue with the police just believing chow, and calling shooting at a car driving away self defense. and now a child running away also. Back to the shooting of Cyrus.

Looking at the video of Cyrus coming in the store, we can see Alice Chow stalks Cyrus. This definitely feels like a common case of targeting a Black child with a hoodie and more. This case is jam packed with stereotypes, racism, and internalized racism. Let's look at the strategy of bringing in a Black lawyer to make the statement that "It can't be about race if we get a Black attorney willing to put money over Black lives to take the case"

Shaun Kent the Black Lawyer says it wasn't about $1.00 bottle of water. It partically was along with the hoodie, and the backpack. It was what Alice Chow could use to target Cyrus. This who watched the video saw Alice targeting Cyrus, a Black youth and using $1.00 bottle of water to set all of this in motion. This makes me wonder who really is Alice Chow and what is in her background ? below is a link of the video from when Cyrus walked in and walked out.



The Cyrus Belton case highlights not only racism but a part of racism I have been talking about for years and have made me a target of some Black folks in power and that is internalized racism which helped Chow win this case. The lawyer Shaun Kent empower internalized racism in his closing remarks. He knew Belton was shot int he back running away. Yet in his closing argument he uses his knowledge of stereotypes, and certain Black people wanting to distance themselves from the bad ones to sway the jury the 5 Black people on the Jury,

The Cyrus Belton case prompts me to ask when do Black people have a right to carry guns and to defend ourselves. If it's not when we are hunted down for false reasons when is it?

Also if it's ok for White and fair skinned kids to create guns why not Black kids and Black adults? In the 2 major database below if you look through most of the images they mostly have white children with gun and most of the pictures are seen in a favorable light.

CHOAS AND CHOICES

UFC is trumps war strategy ignoring calamity
dead love ones of 13 families, no grace no mercy
Barron won’t touch a weapon, high stepping,
a privileged son of a I’m not using big words today :) and john repping

the rich and oowerful as we gasp for gas
wondering how long this a last this too shall pass
ain’t promising deadass we need a realistic grasp
visit the looking glass do you feel harassed

By a dumbass clown and his insane posse
get topsy leaving us turvy protecting their pervy
leaders with political maneuvers and redaction
those that been through hell and back aren’t reacting
no one cared when we was down and out starving

our advancement denied told to step aside
words don’t hold a candle to action support
as we contort our minds to find some sort of cohort
for cultural opportunities that pay but the delay

had me watching past replays selling my soul
leading to a lonely emotional jail bids so I scroll
through the credits to see I was alone so I postponed
self sabotaging short cuts getting weeded I own

My decisions, with precision i scrutinize my options start blocking maga and israel lovers start popping
facts on my social post to open minds so we can find
a strategy to unwind this mental barb wired mind

keeping us stuck in this duopoly of fuckery and fear
leaving us without world peace what a year
come to find out our economic choices is the noose
we’re hanging from to dumb to cut ourselves loose

i’m the caboose that could cause her tried til he did
i’m sick and tired of these fear mongering list
when both support the rich leaving us with lessor
short term memory loss handicaps the confessor

to stay in the strait of chaos another conflict
on top of Iran I stand with Palestine but the trick
of being financially broke worst rich trying to impress
to gain favor, grants, or sponsorship to connect
lost souls needing to reflect to reject negative and connect
to build bonds so we can grow and move on
from a systems milking us dry from dusk to dawn
with lies and broken promises built on quick sand
racism, sexism, phobias and lack of education

we got hard pain staking choices to mske
do we create allie’s or hate neighbors i live a debate
but i won’t hate difference, letting the real perps go
with the booty from, opioids, heroine, fentanyl

it might be a little hard to remember but i recall
the stackers made billions from opioids still free what puzzles me from another country
El Mencho and A fishing boat became scape goats

Stinch from the gun power smokes still plumes
Mushroom cloud in our present becomes dark history
we can explain to the young why were cowards
and wouldn’t fight for real change
well i’m a keep rocking the mic for change
gain fame encourage us to organize
to save our lives the trust is our complacency is their prize

I got one life that’s barely lived
i’m getting old and gotta forgive
my past so I can push on and push up
so the next generation can learn to rise up
unapologetically with a diverse world in mind
leaving behind the white patriarchy matriarchy it’s all melatky
we need to build for humanity give the rest of us a shot
world wide cause we all we got
i’m a let the mic drop
