Twista knows gun violence is a huge issue in his hometown, and he believes educating the public about proper firearm usage can go a long way toward making the country safer.
The Chicago rap veteran joined “TMZ Live” Tuesday to discuss his firearm education course, “The Gun Camp,” where he trains civilians to be smarter with weapons.
In the wake of the Buffalo and Ulvade mass shootings — not to mention the continued spree of shootings in the Chi — gun control and reform are once again front-burner debate topics … but Twista’s firmly embracing the “blame people, not guns” theory.
He repeated the oft-used line about it being the person behind the gun who ultimately makes fatal decisions.

I think this is a good thing. Teach people about guns so they respect them and understand them. They can be a gun hobby but they also offer protection. Had more people been armed and trained with guns during that shooting in Buffalo, the dude would not have stood a chance. The only one who did anything was an ex-cop and he got shot cause he didn't have any armor on while the shooter did. Had there been more guns pointed at him, things would not have been as bad. We need to respect guns and get politicians who respect us and our rights to protect ourselves! Anyone who is anti-gun in America is anti-black.
Black parents are understandably angry with the racism against black children in school. But rather than protest and wait to see if racist school administrators will ever get tired of being racists we need to remember that the home is the actual classroom for our kids. And from there begin looking to take over these institutions miseducating our kids rather than hoping we can shame racist "educators" into decent behavior.
As Black people, we are under constant siege. A routine trip to the grocery store or park can devolve into a fight for our very freedom and in many cases our lives. Ahmaud Arbery’s last moments on Earth began with a simple jog, Trayvon Martin’s on a walk to the store, and Tamir Rice’s while in the park. For far too long, many Black Americans and Black people in general have chosen to hope, pray, and “legal fiction” our way into some type of passive resolution to our historical issue. Fortunately, not all of us seem to have our head in the clouds.
According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Black Americans saw a 58.2% increase in firearm purchases in the 1st half of 2020. While this is impressive, it’s important to note that White Americans accounted for 72.4% of all firearm purchases within the same timespan. However, this does not detract from our rekindled appreciation for self-sufficiency. In the first part of our Neighborhood Watch series, we will cover the basics of firearm maintenance and why you MUST make it a priority.
The single most important reason to conduct regular maintenance on your Firearm is to ensure it functions as intended in a life or death situation. Like many others, I at one time believed that firearms did not require regular maintenance to operate reliably. To me, the individuals who would meticulously break down, clean, and lubricate their “guns” were no more than overly obsessed diehards and enthusiasts. But Army Basic Training broke this misconception and showed me how my weapon’s reliability in the heat of battle is directly tied to how well I maintain it. The importance of maintenance truly set in while serving in OIF and OEF. The line between life and death was often my firearm and so I felt it was my responsibility to care for my firearm in downtime, as it always cared for me in the heat of battle.
Always Clear Your Firearm and RTFM
Before proceeding with any cleaning, you must ensure the firearm is clear of any ammunition. Start by removing the magazine (if applicable), and then proceed with a visual and tactile inspection. Once the firearm is clear, remove any live ammunition from the room whether it is boxed or not. It may seem like overkill but you can never be too safe when handling a firearm.
If you’re unfamiliar with a functions check, please view the following videos:
These are examples, please consult your make and model for specific instructions. Once you have completed a functions test, it is time to disassemble the weapon.
Disassembly Tips
Do not begin to disassemble your Firearm if you have not Read the Freaking Manual, period point blank. Firearms are extremely intricate and reassembly can make even the most avid shooters cry in frustration (shout out to the Mossberg 500 Elevator Assembly). Here are some quick tips to help you during disassembly :
Disassemble the Firearm in a clean locale with ample space and lighting. You will need to keep track of an assortment of small components and screws that can be easily misplaced. The more room you have to group components the easier reassembly becomes.
Follow the instructions outlined in the manual. Small mistakes in reassembly could lead to long-lasting damage to the firearm. Going it alone may work with IKEA furniture but don’t try it here!
Lay the parts out in the order they are removed, you will thank us later.
Some firearms, handguns in particular do not require a complete breakdown before cleaning. It is important that you always consult the manufacturer’s guide for disassembly/cleaning instructions.
It’s Time to Start Cleaning
As stated in previous steps, each firearm has specific instructions so RTFM! However, there are essentials that you will need regardless of firearm:
Bore Brush
Cleaning Patches
Chamber Brush
Punch Rod
Cleaning Solvent
Lubricant
Once you have all your cleaning materials you want to begin by:
Cleaning the Bore / Barrel
Cleaning the Action
Cleaning the Small Parts
Lubricate the Firearm
In subsequent volumes of Neighborhood Watch, we’ll provide step by step instructions on how to complete these steps. In the meantime, there are a plethora of resources and videos available online oh and RTFM.
How Often Should You Clean Your Firearm?
While guidance shifts depending on the firearm, you should make it a habit to clean your weapon after every trip to the shooting range. Building up the muscle memory for after-session cleanings will ensure that you have a long lasting and reliable firearm for the foreseeable future.
Parting Thoughts
After reassembling your firearm it’s critical that you conduct an additional functions check to ensure that it is operating properly. It’s important to store your firearm in the proper case and/or bag for not only security but also for the fidelity of the firearm. Remember, when it’s time to “put in work” you need to be able trust that your firearm will see you through to the end. Do not neglect regular maintenance and certainly do not neglect proper training and instruction. Your firearm is only as good as its upkeep and the proficiency of its wielder.
I am a transracial adoptee who was raised in a white community. I was raised with all white people and went to an all white school and had all white friends. Today as an adult I have so many psychological issues...hate white people (even though I know how to survive around them) and wish my biological parents never had me taken away. The were "schizophrenic" and on drugs so I was taken away at birth and left to starve in a foster home. I was in six foster homes before the age of two. White Irish people adopted me...and raised me and it was all good until I started realizing my blackness. They started talking to me less and the microaggressions started building...and soon I realized how they really felt about black people...My adoptive mother died and I no longer talk to my racist adoptive father...they did a number on me with gaslighting and mental abuse...so now I am picking up the pieces and living my life as best as I can..but it's very lonely.

A Minneapolis suburb agreed to settle a lawsuit and pay $3.25 million to the family of Daunte Wright, a Black motorist killed during a traffic stop by a white police officer who mistakenly fired her handgun instead of her Taser, lawyers for his family said.
The attorneys said in a statement on Tuesday that the settlement of the wrongful death lawsuit that Wright's family filed against Brooklyn Center will not be finalized until an agreement has been reached regarding more training for the city's police officers.
"The comprehensive settlement in this tragic case will provide a meaningful measure of accountability to the family for their deep loss," they said. "The family hopes his legacy is a positive one and prevents any other family from enduring this type of grief."
City officials were not immediately available for comment.

This is all fine and well but it won't bring him back. I hope they use this money to get away from this area and establish something in his name. Maybe bring more awareness to young black men and women about the dangers of unchecked cops on the streets. Teach them ways to protect themselves as best they can. We need to make moves to get these badge-carrying thugs off our streets. We should be voting these people in, not letting anyone who wants to be a cop, be a cop.
I am well past tired of the WS media and these old women coming for this man for only a GD payday.
One of the few Cosby "accuser" who couldn't get a check from his insurer had her day in court and after 8 years and countless whining she has won...$500,000. Not millions, not even one-million, just 500,000. And Kamau Bell has slithered out of his whole this week as well.
I came across a very, very long, but interesting reddit post breaking down how overhyped Eminem is and why, how he's basically a plant, and how he has a white savior complex and this is one of the responses I saw:
"What a waste of five minutes of my life that I will never get back. I’ve been listening to rap music since 1978 and there have been good rappers and bad ones. I have never heard anybody say that he was the greatest of all time. But to say that he is one of the greatest is something that I would agree with. For you to say that hip-hop is black culture is an asinine and stupid idea if I’ve ever heard one. If you think that black folks were the ones who solely created the hip-hop culture and rap music then you better go do your research. Latinos, specifically Puerto Ricans, are just as instrumental in the birth and evolution of this culture.When I have seen interviews of the GOAT, Rakim Allah, says that he feels that Eminem is one of the best that he has ever seen, then that is the only co-sign I need to listen to and not this rambling garbage that you just presented us with. And you lost a whole lot of credibility points by even bringing Ja Rule into the discussion.
You are not telling me anything that I did not already know. But now you’re changing it to saying PRIMARILY black culture instead of just saying it is black culture.You’re starting to sound a little like Lord Jamar, who is racist as hell and marginally talented."
Wow, we really do be giving most of our culture away to the point where we look uncultured at times yet these entitled, racist smug dipshits that continue to take advantage and leech off us don't appreciate shit and feel like they can control dictate to us what is and isn't our culture. What does and doesn't belong to us. The fucking absolute caucasity and utter gall of these non-Black bastards. Latinos did not invent, birth, or build hip hop. Stop the bullshit now. Any Latinos and whites involved hip hop were tag-a-longs that made some minor contributions at best and exploiters and culture vultures at worst. Black people, specifically Foundational Black Americans (FBADOAS), are the sole official creators and leaders of hip hop.
Outside of Cypress Hill, Big Pun, Fat Joe, Lil Rob, and a few of them folks, those are the most well-known Latino rap acts and none of them invented hip hop either. Y’all keep saying "Latinos made hip hop" yet still struggle to name anyone. And no, that urban reggaeton shit doesn't count either as that is one of the bastard children of hip hop. If we have to credit every Latino face in hip hop for "creating and evolving hip hop", then by this bullshit logic we have to "credit" thieving whites and white Jewish execs that put Black artists on as well as white acts and/or culture vultures like Vanilla Ice, Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, Snow, Mark Ronson, white DJs, etc, for evolving hip hop. STOP. IT. NOW.
Then you praise Rakim for sniffing Eminem's underwear. You call Lord Jamar 'racist as hellx because he tells the brutally truth you vultures don't want to hear (he is prejudiced at worst as Black people cannot be racist when we are at the lowest bottom of the racial hierarchy created by white supremacy and lack the systemic infrastructure to do so).
Funny how lying and claiming that Latinos creating and birthing Hip Hop is somehow not a stupid idea, yet Hip Hop being Black Culture is the most asinine and stupid idea of all time to the point that it is unfathomable? Seriously?!!
GTFOWTBS.
This is why Black people gatekeeping our culture, music, food, businesses, and creations are so vital. Our survival relies on self-preservation and being unified amongst ourselves and only ourselves. They continue to try to lie, remix, and rewrite history to make themselves look like there created and ran shit while making us look like unimportant, uncultured, unremarkable, uncredited mules. This is what the non-stop and so-called inclusion, diversity, Black and Brown, white and Black, and the United Nations POC Coalition looks like and where it leads us. It leads us to eventual full-blown erasure or our culture and identity if it is not stopped.
WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN MY HOSPITAL STRESS TEST AND 'F'THERS DAY- JUNETEENTH' MEAL TREAT..' 'A tale of economic distress, compassion, charity, altruism, sensuality, latent lust, honesty, self-consciousnesses'
I was walking across the parking lot on the 1st of 2-visits to Target seeking an audio -visual accessory to connect my computer video image onto my HDTV screen. An elderly woman, looking close to or older to my age was pulling an travel bag across the parking lot and she called out to me.
Because of my slight hearing loss, I had to ask her to repeat what she said. Now, at a closer distance, she asked, "Mister, Is there anything that you could give to me because I (yada.. yada..yada..).
Even though I had given $$ to those who looked in more self-abusive dire-straits, the old sistahs well-maintained appearance indicated the results of the hard-times of finding and maintaining shelter in this culture's economy. So, in my code of 'giving from the practical excesses of "my substance" ', I took $3 of the $8's from my bill fold and gave it to her, as I added "You should more qualify your requests!".
In her distressed physical condition, her humble gratitude for the pittance I'd given her, was more centered on not having a male 'benefactor' on whom she could depend (particularly, here in VA [its own separate narrative!]), with allusions to me as someone more likely be the type she hoped to meet, which I disabused her of that fact as by relating that I'm married, tho' a complimented 2-years older than her already revealed age of 70 (April '52).
I complimented her on her general well-maintained condition and comely appearance even under the distressful circumstances she was enduring, presently, as I gave her a kiss of comfort on the side of her head.
Ol gal, once again lamented the dearth of those similar to me, but I grinned and chuckled to her (in my best psycho-puppy/Mad Assassin, Dirty Old Man voice), that all benefactors may not be what they seem, re-noting to her that the request for "ANYTHING THAT I COULD/WOULD GIVE TO HER" could have easily been in that opportunistic moment for an other, more than what was the intent of her requested plea.
With that, Ol Gal, in a less anxious and more coherent sense about her, realized how her plea could be taken by the more lustfully unscrupulous and chuckled with me in her embarrassment of what she may have received other than what she gave her humble gratitude for!
We departed in smiles, musing about that encounter and the alter-scenario that I had suggested could have happened with someone else! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those moved to gratification by this.....

He fell on hard times and had to move he and his lady in with his grandad.
His grandad then moves in on his lady and gives her hard times.
He thought he had a son, he was really taking care of his grandad’s son aka his uncle.
Can’t make this up.
A man has shared his heartbreak over discovering the boy he has raised as his son is technically his uncle, after his girlfriend had a long-running affair with his grandfather
TikTok user @stacks1400 made the devastating realisation after discovering his girlfriend, the mother of his child, had been having an affair with his very own grandfather while they were living with him.
"Found out my son was really my uncle," he said in a clip shared to TikTok. "My granddad was f***ing my girl the whole time we was staying with him."
The man shared the clip alongside the caption: "Can’t believe I expected more from a man that had a whole other family around the corner from my granny house," suggesting the granddad has a long history of infidelity in the family.

A Connecticut couple with a four-month-old baby were shot dead on Father’s Day following a dispute with a neighbor over a dog, police said.

No suspect arrested yet, this and the fact it happened in CT tells me the suspect was white and probably WS. The other part is the state took the 4 month old when the victim has family nearby. I actually had to pull up on someone who almost hit my kid and BM, driving reckless in a car. What they didn't realize was that we saw where they lived. I made sure to pack a lil something (not heat but my "four fingered ring") just in case things went left. We was able to get things clear, it was some stupid college kids, but in the back of my head, I knew that I might've been walking into something. Black folks can't afford to be naive about white folks. This story is sad as hell.
Long story short: A suspected WS male named Ethan Liming and his friends had "toy" guns (which were actually discovered to be pellet / splatter guns) and they decided to ambush, harass and shoot at Black youth minding their business and playing a game of basketball.
Nobody knew what was going on and with Payton Gendron (anti-Black racist Buffalo, NY terrorist shooter) and several other anti-Black racists and WS terrorists running amok, many suspected that Ethan and his friends were literally trying to ambush and murder some Black people who were easy targets.
So the young Black boys, Tyler Stafford, Donovan Jones, Deshawn Stafford Jr. (2 brothers and 1 cousin, who are The Akron Three) who are ages 21 and under, had their fight and flight responses triggered and set on overload. Many ran from danger while these 3 young men heroically tried to stop the shooter Ethan from shooting and also tried to neutralize the threat before they and others got hurt or killed. Not long after, Liming passed away from his injuries generated by the self-defense. The whites and the locals seethed, became outraged and demanded for these 3 young men to be found and arrested for murder and other charges.
The whites and as well as the white media and news sites are painting Ethan Liming out to be a completely helpless, innocent victim and claiming that "he was just being a teenager and didn't do nothing" and that "it was just a toy gun and a prank, not cool man, he was only 17" while painting the 3 young Black men who defended themselves and their community to be "vicious evil thugs and savage criminals."
This is not right at all. These young Black men did not know that they were being so-called "pranked" (shooting at people with guns is not a prank btw, especially during these times). It's safe to say that Ethan Liming's intentions were clearly not as good and as innocent as his family, the police, and whites and making it out to be. Many whites are often insensitive and find sick pleasure in targeting us as well as our suffering as evidenced by the non-Blacks that were caught laughing at the Buffalo shooting. But to them, this is their own "Tamir Rice" situation even though you can't even compare this situation to 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who these very same racist whites wrongfully attacked and heartlessly blamed for causing his very own death. They never even found the alleged toy gun Tamir Rice had and he was still murdered by cops over a freaking rumor by a white male Karen that called 911 on him because Tamir's presence of Blackness and alone was seen as a threat.
I mean seriously, what are people supposed to do to defend themselves and others when you have cowardly cops in Uvalde allowing for kids to be ruthlessly killed? When you have WS anti-Black racists terrorizing and murdering Black people in cold blood inside churches, supermarkets, stores, public places, etc? And when the Supreme Court ruled in 2005 that the police are not actually obligated to risk putting their lives on the line to protect you or the public?

Shortages, depression in students and staff, lack of bus drivers, lack of supplies, lack of support, low salaries and increasing workloads, ongoing stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing stress from the constant mass shootings and school shootings, and more are causing teachers and staff to become overwhelmed and burnt out.
Let's also not forget about these high ass gas prices and inflation that refuse to let down. Many are also struggling to go back and forth to work.
Many are worried that due to this massive burnout, many teachers will resign, quit, and not return to work by the next school year, which could put the already awful American public school system in complete disarray.
The first federal observance of Juneteenth hadn't even begun and already everyone from Opal Lee the so-called "mother of Juneteenth," as well as other agents were declaring it's "not a black thing," that "it's for everyone."

Despite producing nearly $11 billion worth of goods and services each year, incarcerated workers in the U.S. earn an average of just between 13 cents and 52 cents per hour across the country, according to a new report.
A new American Civil Liberties Union report published Wednesday said that wages are low, and that in most cases the government takes up to 80 percent of the pay for room and board, court costs, restitution and other fees, including the construction and maintenance of prisons.
Incarcerated workers produce more than $2 billion per year in goods and more than $9 billion per year in services for the maintenance of the prisons, the report added.
According to the report, the wage deductions leave the workers with less than half of their gross pay, from which they are expected to cover the cost of their own hygiene products and medical care.
Almost 70 percent of incarcerated workers who were polled said they cannot afford basic necessities with their prison wages.
The report also found that prison workers in seven states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas — are not paid any compensation for majority of their work.
The ACLU also found that more than 76 percent of incarcerated workers surveyed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics say that “they are required to work or face additional punishments such as solitary confinement, denial of opportunities to reduce their sentence, and loss of family visitation.”
According to the report, prisoners cannot choose what type of work they do and are allegedly “subject to arbitrary, discriminatory, and punitive decisions by the prison administrators who select their work assignments.”
Many incarcerated workers also do hazardous work in unsafe conditions. As a result of poor data collection, the true number of workers injured on the job is unknown, the report added.
“Prison labor is inherently coercive and exploitative. Incarcerated workers are not protected by standard labor laws, like minimum wages, overtime protection, the right to unionize, and workplace safety guarantees,” according to the ACLU report.
The authors of the report have demanded that prisons around the country raise the wages of incarcerated workers to allow them to pay for expenses like “child support, phone calls home and commissary costs, while supporting their families and saving for eventual reentry into the society.”
They have also asked that lawmakers amend the Constitution to abolish the 13th Amendment exclusion that allows slavery and involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime.
More than 1.2 million people in the U.S. are currently incarcerated in state and federal prisons, of whom approximately two-thirds are employed in the prison system.

At this point, we know good and damn well that children are being targeted sexually through child specific entertainment. We feel uneasy about letting our kids watch these shows unattended because of the sexual subtext purposely placed in these cartoons, shows, and movies. Sometimes, it's blatant. The LGBT have made it clear that they want sexual orientation present in the minds of children. If not that, cartoons teaching about masturbation, etc.
I just thought of something. I don't have kids, but sometime I help out with nieces and nephews. When the family comes thru, I just put on one of the Muppet movies. A lot of the quality children's television and movies that adults had growing up is still available on DVD and Youtube. Thomas the Tank Engine, Blue's Clues (with Steve), Dora the Explorer and every episode of Mr. Rogers is on DVD. So is every episode of Schoolhouse Rock. It would be nothing to make a playlist of Sesame Street from YouTube. Am I late? Are some of you already doing this?
