A call for “This is the Way Family Foundation" (TITWFF)

(This is a reaction to my post on seeking new activism methods for justice instead of marching in the streets.)

 "We are you, you are we" 

By Bro Malcolm

The following is the base of my proposal to make reparations a reality for our people, and if the acquisition of land and water resources reflect a problem, then geographic alternatives are always possible. Again, this is an idea to make reparations a reality for us.

I believe that it's imperative that we develop and implement "This Is the Way Family Foundation” (TITWFF). “We are you, you are we" under the 501.c (3) tax code should summon our wealthy entertainers, professional athletes, and business professionals to give their support so as to help and assist ourselves to make reparations a reality, in this part of the globe.

TITWFF will focus on providing every Black family with a home built from the ground up by all of our people who are jobless. TITWFF will accommodate all training in every applicable trade in housing construction.

First, please allow me to ask each an everyone of us, how much more evidence or how many more unethical/uncivilized events do we have to be victimized by, or subjected to, until we fully get it in our minds, with a total understanding, that we're in the mist of what has clearly manifested itself to be the most uncivilized location for Black people/us on earth?

In general with regards to lives lost, it shouldn't be a surprise that there's been more loss of life in the US over the past 18 months than there has been in Afghanistan & Iraq combined! The irony is the former and the latter are supposedly in an all out "state of war." On the other hand, the domestic front can be easily construed as the same, if not worse!

In my view, we can no longer stand idly by while this system continuously puts more emphasis on the 2nd amendment of its constitution than it does making its past and current wrongdoings right. Isn't it about time that we embrace ourselves as a family of people and start moving forward on what we deem as being "right" for us and most importantly, the future of our children?

Are we going to remain dependent on a system that has proven itself time and time and time again that its #1 priority is to preserve itself without any consideration for our preservation? Let's face the reality that's telling us consistently that the plan for us is "genocide!" We don't make up 1/3 of any state in the U.S., but yet we're #1 on the homeless, jobless & incarceration rolls, and it's our duty to correct this acute problem. It's obvious that the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do!

In other words, the "reparations" that we, overwhelming, rightfully deserved since before 1865, but never received…I believe it's time that we take the lead in making it happen. We've come to that point to where millions of us realize now that we cannot continuously remain idle and expect someone outside of us to repair us. The way Trayvon's case was and is being handled is telling us that it's imperative that we move forward.


Let's move forward.
