creating economic niches for our community...
If every black person in the Us were an active member of the NRA -- regularly using its firearms training benefits ...more and more black people regularly becoming certified NRA firearms trainers...becoming serious shooters who regularly visit the range and learning to load and reload their own shells as serious shooters do --a cost effective process btw...I think it would go a long way towards police departments developing a grudging respect and changing how they police in the black community...
It might even advance the option of black communities taking a more active role in the policing of our own communities as well as encouraging the development of black community owned professional policing corporations that would hire properly vetted and properly qualified black professionals to do the job of policing our communities and running out the drug boys and "investigating" these crooked, unfit ,brutal, unprofessional cops...just a thought to... marinate on ...my people.
and of course such a black community owned, professional policing industry would also generate opportunities for black legal industry professionals as well as generate opportunities for black people with psychological expertise as folks in industries working around firearms require regular psychological evaluations in order to maintain NECESSARY mental health standards...
we as a people really need to START TO ...look at the needs of our communities and look at industries supposedly in existence to service those needs and then FIGURE OUT FROM THE GROUND UP ...WHAT IT WILL REQUIRE TO REPLACE OR GO INTO AND TAKE THESE INDUSTRIES OVER... at least as we and our communities are concerned AND THEN take the steps necessary to AIM AND PROPEL OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS DIRECTION ...TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITIES as well as promote business and employment of our own people in our communities.
we should of course ALSO be looking at our involvement in the music industry and athletics with the same evaluative lens...how do we take control of these industries and employ our own people and receive the benefits of our own talents and DIRECT THOSE BENEFITS BACK INTO OUR OWN COMMUNITIES...
the relationship between the black world and white world is one of "plunder"...I said this back in 2007 well before popular writer , Ta-Nahesi Coates did in his most recent book BTW
I said in a novel I was working on at the time and published portions of that novel in one of my on-line blogs, that this "plunder" had begun in 1200 Bc with the Trojan war and continued right up to this present moment...I even described in my novel how white gangsters calling themselves "knights" and godfathers calling themselves "oligarchs" in a 'crime family' called "The Order" ... short for the official name "The Order of the Nobel Scion of Gleaming Neoptolemus " were competing among themselves over "RIGHTS OF PLUNDER" when it came to looting black people of wealth AND WERE TEACHING AND INSTRUCTING THOSE SELECTED FROM AMONG THEIR YOUNG PEOPLE TO CONTINUE THE 3200 YEAR OLD TRADITION...

"The study of history cannot be a mere celebration of those who struggled on our behalf. We must be instructed by history and should transform history into concrete reality, into planning and development, into the construction of power and the ability to ensure our survival as a people. If not, [it] becomes an exercise in the inflation of egos; it becomes an exercise that cuts us further off from reality. Ironically, we now see even other people who are not our friends joining us in this celebration, which means that they must see in it some means of protecting their own interests, and see in it something that works for them, and possibly against us. If they can celebrate our history and see it as something positive, then it means that we are not using it in a revolutionary sense. They do not see our study of it as a threat to their power. If we are not studying it in a way that it is a threat to their power then we are studying it incorrectly, and our celebration of it is helping to maintain us in a state of deception. So let us make sure that we look at and study history in a light such that it advances our interests, not inflates our egos and blinds us to reality."

we have black vets that already have training that could be useful in forming blackwater type private for-profit policing and security corporations in our communities and then expanded to the general market...I believe the Hasidic jews in areas of nyc and ny state where they are the majority also directly patrol and help to police their communities...there may even be grants available to communities who participate actively in policing their own communities...get proficient enough at it and you might even be able to divert to your own groups and privately owned policing corporations, funds previously intended by state and federal government for inefficient or biased municipal police agencies or agencies with questionable practices ...but don't quote me on that yet as I have to check and see if this is still possible...

of course for-profit privately owned policing corporations and security corporations involve much more than firearms training there is also of course, human resources and management skills , group psychology, inter group psychology, intra group psychology , social psychology, criminology, sociology, and criminal justice skills as well as business administration skills among other proficiencies required ,but I recall in a previous century in places like new York city and Chicago certain ethnic groups saw an opportunity for themselves and took steps to take advantage of their political power and voting strength in the cities to work the system in order to move chosen young candidates into the positions of police officers in such numbers, to the point where specific ethnic groups are still stereotyped as being police officers in those two large cities today... they carved out a niche for themselves...as well as solved other problems they faced as a community...they are no better than us...we can do the same for ourselves.
