Black Massacres: America’s Shameful Past (Revisited VII)
A Commentary by Idris Salaam
This is part seventh and final part of the Black Massacres series. Now, during these massacres, Natives, Asians, and Latinos were also murdered. In previous blogs I covered every era since 1811. There hasn't been a 10 year period in History where White America didn't rape, beat, murder Blacks/Latinos/Asians/Natives and burn down a community.
In this part, we cover the Civil Right Era. This was the era when Minorities decided to fight back and were willing to give their lives to protect their communities.
And again: “When was America Great for people other than White?”

1917: Anti-Greek riots occurred in Salt Lake City which "almost resulted" in lynching of a Greek immigrant.[84]
1917: El Paso, Texas. The 1917 Bath riots took place over a two-day period from January 28–30. The riot started after a 17-year-old woman by the name Carmelita Torres was ordered to be disembark and submit to the disinfection process but she refused to, having heard reports that nude women were being photographed while in the baths. She requested permission to enter without submitting to bathing and was refused. She then demanded a refund of her fare and upon refusal of a refund convinced the other women on her cable car to protest. The women began shouting and hurling stones at health and immigration officials, sentries and civilians, who had gathered to watch the disturbance. As the rioting went on, men began joining in on the rioting.
1917: East St. Louis riots. On July 1 in East St. Louis, Illinois, an African-American man was rumored to have killed a white man. Violence against African-Americans continued for a week, resulting in estimations of 40 to 200 dead African-Americans. In addition, almost 6,000 African-Americans lost their homes during the riots, then fled East St. Louis.[68]
1917: Chester, Pennsylvania. The 1917 Chester race riot took place over four days in July. White hostility toward southern Blacks moving to Chester for wartime economy jobs erupted into a four-day melee sparked by the stabbing of a white man by a Black man. Mobs of hundreds of people fought throughout the city and the violence resulted in 7 deaths, 28 gunshot wounds, 360 arrests and hundreds of hospitalizations.[85]
1917: Lexington, Kentucky. Tensions already existed between Black and white populations over the lack of affordable housing in the city during the Great Migration. On the day of the riot, September 1, the Colored A.&M. Fair, one of the largest African American fairs in the South, on Georgetown Pike attracted more African Americans from the surrounding area into the city. Also during this time, some National Guard troops were camping on the edge of the city. Three troops passed in front of an African American restaurant and shoved some people on the sidewalk. A fight broke out, reinforcements for the troops and citizens both appeared, and soon a riot had begun. The Kentucky National Guard was summoned, and once the riot had ended, armed soldiers on foot and mount and police patrolled the streets. All other National Guard troops were barred from the city streets until the fair ended.[86]
1917: Houston. Following an incident where police officers arrested and assaulted black soldiers, many of their comrades mutinied and marched to Houston. There they opened fire and killed eleven civilians (including a minor, Freddie Winkler) and five policemen. Four black soldiers were killed by friendly fire.
1918: Philadelphia
1918: Porvenir, Texas
1919: Red Summer. Tension in the summer of 1919 stemmed significantly from white soldiers returning from World War I and finding that their jobs had been taken by African-Americans moving north as part of the Great Migration.

This is part Five of the Black Massacres series. Now, during these massacres, Natives, Asians, and Latinos were also murdered.

Black Massacres: America’s Shameful Past (Revisited IV)
A commentary by Idris Salaam
Part Three: (https://angerinthenation.tumblr.com/post/640889158626377728/black-massacres-americas-shameful-past)
We explore the Jim Crow era. Although it ended in 1914, the effects lasted through the 50s and early 60s. This was something (along with Sharecropping) that replaced Slavery. Many run from this fact because Blacks weren't on plantations. But Jim crow was put into effect to keep Blacks from succeeding in life. Blacks were still lynched like they were during slavery.
So, as I did in the other entries, I ask this question: When was America Great? If you call enslaving people and making their lives miserable to keep you happy, "Making America Great", then we know what you really want.

Make America Great Again.. Okay, as I travel through time, we enter the Civil War and Post Civil War period. Slaves (Africans) fought this war alongside the very men who had zero respect for them as humans. However, these Africans fought with valor in their hearts just to be treated the same way they were before the war.

Black Massacres: America’s Shameful Past (Revisited)
A commentary by Idris Salaam
It's been 5 years (2021) since I posted the original blog on this subject. A lot has happened since then. So, I decided to update things with another blog and much more information. I know ignorance will arrive to this blog. But they can say what they want. They are irrelevant.
Over Trump's two administrations, the mantra has been, “Make America Great Again.” But many of us ask, “When was America Great? And for who?” Whenever a black community was built, it was torn by Systematic Racism. Below is a list of Black Massacres in the USA. I’d like to ask my "friends" who voted for Trump; When was America Great for Black People or indigenous people?
Trump tells CNN Israeli forces could resume fighting in Gaza ‘as soon as I say the word’ if Hamas won’t uphold ceasefire deal
By Idris Salaam 10.15.25
Original story by: CNN:
Here’s a summary of the article:
President Donald Trump stated that he may allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume military action in Gaza if Hamas fails to uphold its part of the ceasefire agreement. In a call with CNN, Trump said Israeli forces could return to action "as soon as I say the word."
The remarks follow Israel's accusations that Hamas is not complying with the ceasefire terms, particularly the return of hostages. Under Trump’s 20-point peace plan, all hostages — both living and deceased — were to be returned within 72 hours of Israel accepting the deal.
So far:
All 20 living Israeli hostages have been released.
Eight bodies have been handed over by Hamas, though one is reportedly not an Israeli hostage.
More bodies (4–5) are expected soon.
In response, Israel may reduce or delay humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Despite the tensions, the ceasefire remains in effect for now.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he would consider allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resume military action in

DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE: THE UNFORTUNATE UNION
By Idris Salaam (Bigboscoe Productions)
DEPRESSION & SUICIDE: A Union of Disaster
Depression & Suicide are never something to brush off. But we have MALES who downplay male suicides to bring attention to suicide by women. Suicide is Suicide. Don't throw men in the gutter because you want to be praised and respected by women.
Here are some FACTS about suicide:
• The current suicide rate of 14.3 deaths per 100,000 people was 1% higher than in 2021 and is the highest rate since 1941.
• Suicide rates significantly decreased among younger people — by 18% for kids ages 10-14 and by 9% for people ages 15-24 — possibly indicating that efforts to address the youth mental health crisis are working.
• The suicide rate among American Indian and Alaska Native people, while declining 5% last year, remains far higher than any other racial or ethnic group.
So the next time you decide to use men as your whipping post to bring to light suicide amongst women, put your head in the sand.
ALL OF US suffer. No suicide is more important than the other. And the older you get, the harder life gets mentally. You don't know what's going on in someone's head. I'm 59 years old and I've been through a lot of my years. When I think back at my life, I'm thankful because I say to myself, "You actually made it through all of that shit." (Racism and poverty as a child, military, gang life as an Enforcer and being stabbed 2x prison, homelessness). Yeah, shits been hard.
But the fight goes on every day when I wake up. It's a battle of, "Do I want to keep going or do I want to just clock out?"
After my mother passed, I really didn't give a f***. But I have adult children and a whole host of grandchildren that look up to me. The same with nieces and nephews as well as my brother and my sister. I know if I go down, they go down mentally. That's my driving force. But that doesn't mean the fight is easy
Never been afraid of dying. Just afraid of leaving my family in pain.
And I'm going to keep it 100:
I found that the women tend to laugh when men bring this situation to light. And then you got the men back in these women calling the men "Weak."
Suicide loves Depression. Suicide is like an evil spirit wanting to be your best friend. It reminds you of all the things you've been through and confirms you saying, "I can make you feel better." STOP DOWNPLAYING SUICIDE AMONGST MEN!
There's no stronger Hate than Christian Love
Freedom of Religion also means FREEDOM from RELIGION. So why is one RELIGION being use to create LAWS for EVERYONE?
Facts don't care about your feelings.

Some in our community would rather be surrounded by "Yes Men/Women" than people who will be honest with them. That's why the Lizzo's and others behave the way they do. There's no reason for people who so call love these individuals should allow them to be as self destructive as they are. All the while, other communities just sit back and laugh their asses off while county the money they make off of them. If one of us speaks up, we are called Haters, We are truly crashing to Earth faster and faster each day.
Is Hip Hop Dead?
A Commentary by Idris Salaam (Boscoe from The Bronx - Bigboscoe Productions)
Is Hip Hop Dead? On Life Support?
If you refer Hip Hop to only as Rapping, then, in some ways, yes it is dead. I mean, just think about it. We are in the period right now where we didn't have a song chart until, out of the blue, one did. (I still they did that because it showed the quality of music finally hit rock-bottom). A lot of entetainers of this era were saying fans were tired of the same stuff, and that's why the record sales were going down. We've had artists having to cancel shows because they can't fill arenas. There's but so much ass the "Bitches" can sell, just like there's but so much money "Niggas" can have and jewelry to flash.
[[More]]
So, if you only looking at it in terms of Rapping, yes, Hip Hop is Dead.
But, are you talking about Hip Hop or are you talking about rapping? And this is where people seem to be confused.
Do they realize Hip Hop comes in many forms?
• Hip Hop is music other than just Rap: Listen to the sounds that crafted the genre. (The samples from Funk, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Soul, etc). Listen to the Instrumentals of past songs. The rhythms. Before 2000, Hip Hop had music for everyone, not just the ones who love the stereotypical "I'm a real nigga/Bad Bitch" scenario.
• Hip Hop is living a particular lifestyle. The fashion, the style. If you look at how Hip Hop is portrayed in Asia, it's almost idenitcal to Hip Hop in its purest form. In fact, pure Hip Hop strips women of the Bad Bitch persona. The men become more Masculine and protective.
• Hip Hop is art (Graffiti). There's a whole Culture of Art revolving around Hip Hop. (Phase II, Dondi, Blade, Fab5Freddy, IN, Comet, etc). There are museums across the country displaying Hip Hop art.
• Hip Hop is the DMC: Turntable battles and performances. (DJ Craze, Roc Raida, Perly, Sonic Jewel, ISP, Jazzy Jeff, etc). These competitons consists of drumming (Using a record to create an entirely different beat), body tricks, etc. Even the parties are amazing as you will hear some of your favorite songs being flipped an entirely different that even the original artists couldn't do. And yes, turntablists have music on the market. The mainstream doesn't play it for obvious reasons.
• Hip Hop is understanding the Culture: What do you know about Hip Hop? Do you know the hostroy? Listen to some of the rhythms that birthed the genre: The Jubilaries (The first rappers) James Brown, The Last Poets, Parliament-Funkadelic (The sound of the West Coast's "G-Funk" was birthed from), Electronic. Research the Culture and how it came about. The Black Spades, the Casanova Crew, The Zulu Nation. When you get to Hip Hop (it was called B-Boying), start learning about Kool Herc and his crew, the Godmother MC Sha-Rock (The Funky Four + 1 More), Grandwizard Theodore (The Fantastic Freaks), The Cold Crush Brothers. Theres plenty more.
In today's society, people refer to Hip Hop as just Rapping, when Rapping it's just one element. We have to blame this on the mainstream as they have dictated the way Hip Hop is being interpreted. And just because you're a rapper doesn't mean you represent Hip Hop. There are many songs across each genre where people are rapping. But does that make them Hip Hop?
We allowed outside forces (the same forces that tried to shut hip hop down in his early days) to dictate what hip hop is. We allowed them to call anything with a rap verse, "Hip Hop." And because we decided to "Get the bag," we also decided to go along with it.
If you're only into listening to Rap hits, then yes, Hip Hop is Dead to you. But if you want to see how Hip Hop is still living it's best life, step outside of the Rap World you live in and explore Hip Hop in a whole. Just like 80% of the ocean hasn't been mapped, the same can be said of Hip Hop.
