From [HERE] In a letter last week, Black Kansas City councilwoman Melissa Robinson explained to federal prosecutors why she and other Black leaders do not trust Kansas City police and are asking for an outside investigation of the shooting Ralph Yarl.

As Robinson described in the April 17 letter to U.S. Attorney Teresa A. Moore, Yarl, a Black teen, was shot and seriously injured by a white man when he went to the wrong house to pick up his siblings in a Northland neighborhood four days earlier.

The shooting angered many in Kansas City and across the country, with many feeling race played a role in the slowness of local law enforcement to arrest and charge a white man for shooting a Black teenager.

The accused shooter, 84-year-old Andrew D. Lester of Kansas City, North, was released by police within two hours of being taken into custody after the shooting. Four days passed before Clay County prosecutors charged him with first-degree assault and armed criminal action and he surrendered himself at the county jail.

In her letter, Robinson, who represents the Third District which includes neighborhoods on the city’s East Side, explained that many Black residents had already lost trust in Kansas City police. She asked the federal prosecutor in Kansas City to pursue a hate crime investigation.

“This situation scares me, quite frankly,” Robinson wrote. “The uprising I could feel during the period when the suspect had yet to be charged was frightening. Kansas City needs this investigation to be thorough and done right . . . we need assurances of such. Specifically, Black citizens need to feel confident that we cannot be ‘hunted’ in this City.” “It would greatly help the confidence of Kansas City, specifically the many residents that have learned a distrust for KCPD, if your office was willing to step in and conduct a hate crime investigation,” Robinson wrote. “I personally would be very grateful as I have two young black boys myself. I believe the community needs federal help and support at such a critical moment.” [MORE]

Over thirty years ago Dr. Frances Cress Welsing warned Black sheople:

“…Black people everywhere must begin to understand why the Black collective, and Black males in particular, have been under intensive attack for the past 2,000 years. Indeed, Jesus was a Black male who was lynched by uniformed white male Roman soldiers 2,000 years ago, as a result of the same war that has continued into the present day extension of the same Roman (white) empire.

Whenever there is a sense of increased vulnerability within the local and/or global white collective - as, for example, caused by inflation (currency devaluation), unemployment, loss of a war or counter-struggle by non-white peoples (e.g., Arabs controlling and limiting oil supplies, Iranians taking white hostages, Black guerillas struggling in southern Africa and the loss of the Vietnam War) - there will be an increase of the ever-present "normal" daily slaughter and murder of Black and other non-white males by those both legally and illegally authorized to do so. This murder and slaughter will be logically viewed as justified within the specific logic framework of the fear of white genetic annihilation.

Within the historic framework of Western civilization and culture (the civilization and culture organized to prevent white genetic annihilation), all white peoples have the spoken or unspoken mandate to participate actively in their collective struggle for global white genetic survival. This specifically means, of necessity, the murder and slaughter of Black and other non-white males whenever it is felt within the white collective to be necessary and, therefore, justified.” [MORE]
