Black Panther Leader: Comply With Police Or Be Ready to Die

Thursday, 30 Apr 2015 05:36 PM

This is good advice; but, it can be explained in a more subtle way.  In our large family, the rules of the road were:  respect your elders, respect yourself, and respect each other.  What is RESPECT?   Respect covers a lot of life’s daily activities.  In life there is always someone in charge of what is going on – whether you are at the theater, school, in public – police, no matter where ever you are.  It is called rules of the road in society.  That is the first thing any child is taught – white, black, brown or yellow. If a child missed that part of growing up, he needs to revisit that part of the lesson plan called  – life.

And, as some people have to find out the rules of the road the hard way – which seems to be the case in Florida, Missouri, and now Baltimore.  When this happens – there are no winners – just hurt.

Definitions for respect

1.Respect

Respect is a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or other entity, and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected. It can also be conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect.

Rude conduct is usually considered to indicate a lack of respect, disrespect, where as actions that honor somebody or something indicate respect. Specific ethics of respect are of fundamental importance to various cultures.

Respect for tradition and legitimate authority is identified by Jonathan Haidt, a professor at the University of New York Sten School of Business, as one of five fundamental moral values shared to a greater or lesser degree by different societies and individuals. Respect is both given and received. We expect other people to respect us in return for the respect we show them.

Respect is also something that is earned by the standards of the particular society in which one lives. Respect cannot be measured as a quantity, cannot be bought or traded, it is one of those things that is earned and built over time, but that can be lost with one stupid or inconsiderate act.

One can ask or beg for respect, but only others can bestow us with respect as a result of their perceived treatment by us. Continued caring interactions are then required to maintain or increase that original earned respect.

Respect cannot always be seen or observed by actions, but for those who practice chivalry, the outward display of respect is refreshing. Some women view this as patronizing and demeaning, but in its pure form chivalry is about nearly absolute respect.

One of the main ingredients for respect when speaking to elders or people in authority and will win over in complete surprise is:  Yes Sir!  No Sir! or Yes Mam! or No Mam!  No matter if it is your Mother, Father, Teacher, Elderly Friends, or Police.  This immediately sends a  “tone of respect.”  Try it, you will be surprised

The leader of the New Black Panther Party delivered a no-nonsense message to African-American men Thursday — always obey the police or be prepared to die.

As the shell-shocked Baltimore recovered from the widespread violence and destruction that broke out following the death of Freddie Gray, Minister Quanell X told Newsmax TV:

“I want every black man within the sound of my voice to listen: there’s a common denominator with these cases.

“There’s always some type of resistance to police authority or police instruction. I’m begging you, brothers, please do not resist the police.”

Quanell X, who is also national spokesman for the New Black Panther Party Nation, said those who do resist police officers in a bid to “win your case in the streets” are flirting with serious injury or death.

“You’ve got a better chance of winning your case against police misconduct in a court than from a graveyard,” he said on the “Steve Malzberg Show.”

Baltimore is under a curfew as officials try to ease the explosive racial tension that has resulted in millions of dollars in damages.

Quanell X said America’s historic black leaders would not look kindly on those who looted stores, torched cars, threw bricks, and injured dozens in response to the Gray’s death in police custody.

“I believe that our ancestors would be ashamed that we took to the streets of Baltimore to destroy and burn down our own community. I do believe that,” Quanell X said.

“But I don’t think that they would be ashamed that we’re continuously moving forward in that line of divide of protest when there’s a need for it.”

Wonder who these people were that burned down the town.  They need to be singled out, arrested, and made to pay for the rebuilding of the part they burned.  These people need to be examples so this burning down of towns stop.
