" Race Traitor is a moniker given to any person who murders another member of the same race."                          -- Mark Davis


Welcome to my new website!  

Please be sure to sign my Guestbook and stick a pin in my Guest Map.  I hope you enjoy this new addition to my website and my new book:
Race Traitors 2.

This book continues the exploits of two African American Police Detectives who were assigned to the Gang Intelligence Unit of the Chicago Police Department in 1974.   It was directed toward fulfilling the completion of the original novel Race Traitors and intended to bring closure to the suspense.

They were entrenched in a struggle with the Gangs, the Department and the Black community. 
Being a Black Police Officer in 1974 was no Badge of Honor.  The Black Community had ambivalent feelings toward the uniform and the character wearing it.  Coupled with that suspicion and the violence, it became a daily collar you had to wear.  Race Traitors 2 revealed some very important events in the City of Chicago in 1974.  The murders were at the top of the conflict, but the Police Department, the city government and the Black Community had stories to tell.

The gang conflicts between the street gangs left thousands of black youths dead in the streets.  Black mothers languished in tears and sorrow as they learned that they had lost a child to this violence.

1974-2020 is 46 years.  Do-You know how many murders were committed in Chicago during that period?  Let’s say, for the sake of shame on Us and our stolen and destroyed racial pride, over “Twenty three thousand murders have been committed.  All twenty threet thousand + were not gang related and all victims were not black.  However the vast majority of the victims were Black. 

I could never understand why we as a people are so violent toward each other.  All the slave movies I have seen and the discovered history of the black man in America depicts racial hatred, brutality, suffering and the misery of enslavement, yet we continue not to love and respect one another.  I have come to the conclusion that all the above described experiences have created a formula for “Self-Hatred” and Despair!  Mya put it to us when she described the Urban Warrior.  “No Target more deserving of his true aim than his “Brother!” 

I have a close friend, who when I asked him what he thought the black race will need to do to address this violence he told me, and much to my surprise that we (Black People) will have to pass on the current youths, and race to the new ones, the very young ones and teach them the forgotten values of a human life. 

I asked him what was he saying and he replied instantly that we as a race of people have to abandon all the generations except the last, the new one. Impact the ones who haven’t learned to talk yet.  The ones who have not been infected with the past conditions of despair. Create a new hierarchy of needs for the black child. “We need to “Infect” them with the values and morals that our parents and grandparents selected and teach them the history and glory of our renowned antiquity.  He said the current generation of gun Totten, shoot another black man because you got a gun and you are angry must be identified and separated from the fold.  “There is nothing we can do for them!” But I have to disagree with my good friend. 

While traveling through the Roseland Community some years ago I stumbled upon a site on south Michigan at 116th street. There on the west side of the street was a “Monument,” a construction of created Head Stones bearing the names, age and year of death of black children killed in the Roseland community. It was called “Kids off the Block".  Its founder was a black woman named Diane Latiker.

When the word generation was tabled she reminded us that we had to promote a change and she said that: “Change starts with all of us.  Every Generation can change what the other generation did!”

 Her conclusion was in distinct contrast to my good friends.  I don’t know how this can be done, but we got work to do and with enough effort we can began right now.  "Find you some Black Boy to Infect Holmes!!!!!"
