Why are Blacks killings Blacks worldwide?

I am astounded by the amount of violence we heap on each other. Last Thursday night around 10:00 pm a 17 year old young man’s life was taken from him. Kyle Moore was gunned down and robbery may have been the motive since his wallet and cell phone are missing. As of this date there are no suspects. On the Field Negro blog, there Mr. Negro is keeping a tally of the killings that have been taking place in the “City of brotherly Love”, at this point there have been 139 killings. How do we explain this? I listened to a local radio talk show today and heard people say Black men and women are angry. Angry about their situation here in the U.S., angry about their situation at home, angry about not earning money. This may or may not be the answer. But, Black people have reasons to be angry, yet I don’t see this as a reason to take your brother’s or sister’s life. Black people are killing each other all over the world from Darfur to Los Angeles. Black people are killing each other with ease and walk away as if they just coughed into the wind, no remorse. Someone killed my nephew just 5 months ago, and it continues even though many of us scream for peace. I have heard people say these killings are due to young men being raised in a one parent household, by the mother and they say a “woman can’t raise a man.” Others have deduced the killings are related to the amount of growth hormones that are used in raising cattle and chickens for human consumption, for the fast food retail chains that feed billions of people across the world. They argue that this is a form of low grade “roid rage” that happens to people that have mis-used steroids, due to the misuse of these growth hormones they have gone into a rage and committed murder.
I am not sure any if these arguments are false. In fact they do hold quite a bit of weight and should be considered when considering how Black people are killing one another.
Yet, I am inclined to add into the gumbo pot of theories that ‘religion’ as practiced today plays quite a bit in the mixture of all the above. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all practiced by the majority of the world today in one form or the other. It is the belief that a God lives up in heaven or in some other ethereal place that has given license to the would be killers of the world to commit mirder. Over the last 2000 years these forms of worship have been forced on the world population in the past and was accepted later as the social norm. Islam, Christianity and Judaism worship a God that is in no way a part of the worshiper. This creates a psycology of "He" is greater than me, but "He" is up there and I will pay for my misdeeds later at "judgment." These religions alse create a misgynistic view point in the population as well, therefore we get statements like "the reason Black boys are going jail in high numbers is because they being raised by women." We are not doing ourselves any uplift by continuing to practice these people's "religions". With the advent and acceptance of these religions by us, we have bought into and accepted the rite of death. Christianity is predicated on the DEATH and resurrection of the Christ. Judaism and Islam have played a large part in the misogynist idealogy concerning women, as well as Christianity playing its part in the demonizing of women. However, all three have pushed the idea of a God that is seperate and apart from the worshiper. The belief that you are NOT the God is in opposition to what is taught in Psalms 82-6, has contributed to the cases for the killing of human beings. I am convinced, that should we believe we are God and this is firmly taught to us as is Christ being raised from the dead, I know there would be much less instances of murder. If you are taught that you are the God you would create a society equivalent to our great Mayan past, of our great Sudanese, Ethiopian and Kemetan civilizations where murder was rare and abhorred. When men and women are taught of their Great past, that the Gods came from Her will we see a change and reverence for Mama Ma'at for Ezili Danto for Aida Wedo, Ix Chebel Yax and most of all for mother Earth. But until we take heed to the words of Boukman "...Throw away the symbol of the god of the whites..." and I say throw away the food of the whites as well, we will continue to perish!
