It is well known at this point that Nipsey Hussle’s suspected killer, Eric Holder, aka Sh*tty Cuz, has been apprehended by LAPD and the unfortunate shooting appears to be over a dispute. However, people in the community initially believed it was an orchestrated hit because of Hussle’s moves, including a documentary about Dr. Sebi. In response to those beliefs, it didn’t take some corporate platforms disguised as “black media” to formulate a condescending repudiation of those beliefs. Below are reasons why this type of didactic and condescending journalism catering to black audiences needs to be soundly disciplined and abandoned.
The job of some of these publications is to appear to be for black people on the surface, but as mere subsidiaries of larger corporate media conglomerates, they have other agendas to fulfill. Consequently, on specific issues, they do not validate what black communities may be thinking or feeling. In many instances, some of these publications instead ridicule what sections of the black community may be thinking and feeling, while simultaneously dictating what it is supposed to think. It’s a form of programming. They exist in part to purge the sin of thought, speculation, and postulation to train the masses sit and wait for the “official story” from our corporate masters. They serve an agenda to always make sure the black community keeps its eye off the ball so that if and when there is a real conspiracy coming down the pike, the black community will be none the wiser.
Not all, but what some of the writers of large “black” media platforms (that are not owned by any black people) are reluctant to admit is that we do live in a world of anti-black conspiracies being a reality. And obviously, there is no branch of media with the same corporate backing as some of the more “reputable” sites that will inform the public when something is going down covertly. Consequently, there is a reasonable distrust of corporate news narratives and we do have to be vigilant. Naturally, this will produce conspiracy theories. So, when members of the black community have legitimate concerns about a fallen celebrity, community leader, activist, or all of the above, in a country that has a history of destroying black leaders, celebrities and activists through COINTELPRO agendas, these concerns and opinions need to be handled with a little respect. Deflection, condescension, and ridicule are strategic agendas in and of themselves and are certainly not warranted.
The Rarely Mentioned History
There are several targeted people and several agendas even happening this very moment. Through the years, the “powers that be” never stopped executing these agendas, they merely evolved, adapted to the times and gotten better at concealment. Despite this reality, we have “nothing to see here” media platforms and stooges always trying to dissuade the populace from awareness of this reality.
Throughout American history, entire black cities and towns were destroyed, like Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jackson Ward, Richmond, Virginia, and Durham, North Carolina, each once known as “Black Wall Street”. They were all destroyed by burning or desegregation because they led to black wealth and prosperity. Through policy-making and even overt measures like in Tulsa, black wealth and self-reliance were fought against.
Individuals were always targeted as well. In the 1960s and 70s, intelligence agencies covertly took down Martin Luther King, members of several black nationalist groups, anti-war groups, community activists and the list goes on and on. There were even biochemical warfare agendas and scientific exploitation targeting black communities including the now infamous Tuskegee experiments. For this, we’re not talking 1800s here, this happened from the 1930s to the 1970s—and only stopped after being exposed. There were welfare programs strategically designed to split up black families, designed to make sure the men were kept out of the home, and the list goes on and on. And, yes, there are many instances of public people who are threats to the status quo who end up character assassinated or dead, both back in the day and right now in the present day. So, when “black” media publications slide center stage with top hat and cane in hand to condescendingly ridicule what people are rumoring, while making sure they solidify and contain Nipsey’s death to the black on black crime narrative, we should know exactly what they’re doing; Their “job”.
What Corporate Media Won’t Discuss
Nipsey Hussle’s killing, for now, does appear to be the result of a street dispute, but it’s not necessarily an open-and-shut case. Many were surprised to find out that well known former prosecutor who was famously on the OJ prosecution team is now defending Hussle’s killer. Regardless, there were many sensible points being made via street logic, including Eric Holder’s ability to even be walking the streets with such a long criminal rap sheet. He shouldn’t have been a free man in the first place, which many find suspicious in and of itself. Eric Holder is known as a snitch. It is very well known that criminals with long rap sheets out on the streets are often people who made deals with law enforcement agencies. What is additionally strange is that the woman who was the alleged getaway driver was allowed to go free. So while this does appear to be a mere street dispute, a conspiracy notion isn’t automatically ruled out or dismissible. Not at all.
Nipsey Hussle had an importance to his community so pivotal that the Dr. Sebi connection does not have to be included, even when entertaining conspiracy theories. In fact, the Dr. Sebi documentary connection may not be relevant at all. Hussle was making economic changes to a disenfranchised community which put a bigger target on his back more than anything. What some of these media outlets won’t point out is that before his death, Hussle was targeted and his stores were subjected to multiple police raids. The raids were not warranted and produced no findings. Still, however, police placed Hussle in cuffs and raided his place of business on multiple occasions. So community suspicion of a conspiracy was never something worthy of being blown off or mocked. When Nipsey Hussle was murdered the community was not wrong in postulating if his killing was planned and “ordered” from above, even if it isn’t the case. It is the job of the corporate stooges posing as journalists to condemn that type of thought always and no matter what regardless.
The Nipsey Hussle Spin
The death of famous black men and conspiracy theories is nothing unfamiliar. It’s as American as apple pie and it goes way back. The COINTELPRO documents found in 1971 revealed that, yes, there are covert agendas in place targeting black male celebrities, athletes, activists, and leaders. And this is not a conspiracy ‘theory’, this is all documented fact. So, when people speculate and toss possibilities around, it’s because of reality, not wild imagination.
Let’s take Sam Cooke, for example. His death entailed a weird and wild story including drugs, a prostitute and a gun, a story that few of his contemporaries believed. Most of his contemporaries believed his death had more to do with the fact that he emancipated himself from the record labels, as the first African American artist to own his masters, a publishing company and gave lots of money toward his political activism. Sam Cooke was a community leader changing the game. It is believed that his business acumen, trailblazing ambitions and activism garnered him unseen enemies and cut his life short. Cementing this notion is the fact that the story given never added up. We can do these analyzations and breakdowns from Cooke all the way to Tupac.
So again, and not surprisingly, certain “black journalists” mocked and condemned people theorizing about a government connection. To make matters worse, one article audaciously blamed Nipsey for his own death because he was part of a “homophobic, misogynistic” culture. The writer literally blamed homophobia and “toxic masculinity”, which doesn’t actually exist, by the way. Toxic masculinity is a completely made up term injected into the public lexicon and repeated into relevance by feminist leaning literature. It never truly had any real scientific or sociological verification. It is a false doctrine that has added to much of the miseducation and confusion of the times, but that is another topic entirely. The title alone of the opinion piece from “NBC News” accusing Hussle of toxic masculinity was so zany that I gave the writer the respect of reading the entire article, only to find that he doubled-down and it got worse. These toxic masculinity peddling lunatics are all over topics involving black males, and seemingly nowhere else. At any rate, the agenda to confuse, conflate and spin blame back on to the victims is seen at every angle. And this is why certain communities don’t always embrace what comes through mainstream platforms with open arms.
The “conspiracy theory” label was coined, then stigmatized and turned into a derogatory term by the CIA in 1967. Once upon a time in a not so distant past, theorizing was the bold and noble thing that intelligent critical thinkers and journalists did in order to figure out what the masses weren’t being told. And this theorizing by intelligent people connecting the right dots often brought us to the truth and toward fact-finding results. It starts with at least asking questions instead of obediently accepting everything we’re told by mainstream platforms. It was through this investigative research and critical thinking that many things were discovered and exposed, including the COINTELPRO documents.
Influential black males dying before their time is something that is a constant in this system that we live in. And the invisible chains in this system will never be broken if too few people acknowledge that the chains are even there. Change will not happen if too many of us are lobotomized with comfortable lies. Change will only come when we expose and deal with the unsettling truth. The truth will not be found trusting the very same system for all the information. When the public is informed, awake and digging themselves, it at least makes it harder for lies to persevere. The theories tossed around may not always be 100% on point all the time. Still, we owe it to these fallen warriors to sustain their legacies and the work they’ve done, and to never let their stories be simplified or cut short along with their lives. And so, to make it possible for people to draw intelligent conclusions, we need to hold these large corporate platforms accountable for providing us with the facts, not their condemnation, condescension or useless controlled opinions.
