A Foe Reel White Man's Nig******

By Lonnie F. DeWitt

The author closely examines many of the negative (root) causes of racism, workplace violence, and an array of social, legal, and political issues not typically found within the covers of a single literary work.

The author openly and candidly addresses his unapologetic disgust and disdain against two specific departments: the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Department of Social Services.

The author also captured the voice and soul of most Black Americans (and all people of conscience) by boldly and aggressively attacking the very fabric of White America: racism.

Chapter 1

Fahrenheit 212

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but, as for me, give me liberty or give me death! – Patrick Henry

The boiling point for water is approximately 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is equivalent to 100 degrees Celsius.

Blacks, in America, have nearly reached that boiling point. We may soon be experiencing an unprecedented human tsunami where California may well become ground zero.

I suspect that this tidal wave will consist of people of conscience from all ethnic groups, sexual orientations, religions and nationalities. Blacks are tired of being marginalized, dehumanized, criminalized, institutionalized and for being selectively targeted for systemic execution by the very people who are sworn to protect and to serve. That begs the question: Are they ‘serving their own personal and hidden agendas? The sick joke is: Shoot a Black man, woman or child and get administrative time off with pay. In other words, kill a Black person and you get a free holiday or a paid vacation. Many of our top city officials and other law enforcement officials are quick to say that they have ONLY 1% to 2% of officers who are bad apples". Well, I strongly urge those top officials to rid their forces of that 1% to 2% and then come talk to me.

Any so-called ‘good" cop who witnesses a so-called bad cop commit a crime and looks the other way is equally guilty and twice as dangerous. At that point, because of his silence, he will then join the ranks of that 1% to 2% of bad cops. Willingly or not, silence has consequences. That is the very reason I have consistently been a strong advocate for civilian oversight. Law enforcement has proven time and time again that it is incapable of adequately policing itself. I will continue to say that increased body cameras and dash cams do not suggest a decrease in body bags.

Some cops continue to act with absolute impunity and immunity from prosecution. After all, the disgracefully low number of cops convicted of murder overwhelmingly places the odds of acquittal in their favor, which fully validates their sick and perverted behavior.

Even while openly, flagrantly and defiantly violating all social norms, law enforcement protocols and rules of engagement, those killer cops remain on the force.

The National Registry of Exonerations issued a report stating that police misconduct was at the core of 35% of all exoneration cases since 1989.

Meanwhile, State and County District Attorneys continue to ignore evidence, as they do not hold killer cops accountable. Cops use that old worn-out trifling-ass statement, I feared for my life; even when the Black victim was simply eating Skittles, holding a cellular phone, holding a pocket knife while several yards away, or just by merely being Black (refer to Chapter 23).

In some cases, many unarmed men, women and children have been shot in their backs or in the back of their heads. Really, America?

Yes, America, for one to simply be Black is considered a threat; therefore, A For Real White Man’s Nightmare!

To me, there is minimal distinction between execution and extermination! Even in our so-called justice system, a Black face is more often than not considered to be guilty even in the absence of substantiating evidence; and in some cases, no evidence at all! Hearsay and accusations are sufficient to convict a Black person (refer to Chapter 19).

A Black man, with or without a gun, is viewed, by White America, as a perceived threat; while an unarmed Black man remains a potential victim.

As I fully expressed in a letter to the current Sacramento County Sheriff, Scott Jones, I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

How many more Black lives must we lose, America? How many? Who will be next? I am told that self-pity is a drug. I am not wallowing in self-pity; I am merely presenting facts.

Exactly, just how sick is sick? Is sick the end-stage for America; or is there a lower form of sickness? Has America developed an incurable (Stage 4) cancer that has metastasized throughout all arms of government and private sectors? Just how low can we, as a Nation, go before we even begin to recognize our multiple sins? That, of course, includes chronic fields of economic, medical, housing, education, employment, social and judicial disparities of injustice. I’m just asking.

Unlike Number 37+8 (refer to Chapter 15), I want all Americans to believe what they see, some of what they read and some of what they hear and then make an impartial, educated, intelligent and well-informed decision regarding the merits of my book. Consistent with the profound comments shared by my beautiful Queen, Patrisse Cullors (BLM), I, too, wholeheartedly agree that:

[Potential use of} information is power. Disinformation is dangerous.

Fighting against either injustice or oppression is not a choice. It is not a crime; it is a duty (Sekou Odinga). It is no secret that we, Blacks, would much rather die on our feet than beg on our knees.

Therefore, I must caution all of you hunters of humans; especially, your Black trophy seekers, that you may soon realize that it is a much different game when the rabbit also has the gun. Yes, it is truly a game-changer and role reversal when the rabbit becomes the hunter, and the hunter becomes the prey (refer to Chapter 23).

Until the [rabbit] learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter. – Old African proverb

You are now invited to read the below thought-provoking quote, by my beautiful Queen, Assata Shakur (Tupac’s Aunt), that demands conscious consideration:

People get used to anything. Unless you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things.

Therefore, it begs the question: Is a voluntary leveling of the playing field a myth or a reality? I’m just asking.

Racial violence clearly parallels racial tensions. Those tensions are further inflamed and exacerbated when violence is perpetrated against a Black community member by those supposedly mandated to protect and serve.

Again, if we are to peacefully co-exist in America, that narrative must change.

I do not merely smell smoke; but I also see flames on the horizon.

I, therefore, beg you to take advantage of this Code Red moment!

Yes, the temperature is rapidly rising and once that boiling point is reached, I fear that talking will be off the table. Demonstrating will be off the table. Speeches will be off the table. The final course of action will be on the table.

At that point, you will leave us no choice but to respond accordingly. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. (John F. Kennedy) Has America now reached its moment of truth and day of reckoning? Are we, perhaps, nearing the Final Call (refer to the Nation of Islam)? I’m just asking.

I am not angry. I am just woke. You will learn that when you hire a clown, a circus is just around the corner.

You will obviously determine that facts are not so easily swallowed, while fake news can easily digest.

Sadly, in this Trump era of fake news, one must seriously consider subjective elements to remain totally balanced and c That begs the question: Is there a timeline on justice; or will someone arbitrarily move the goalpost?

At this point, should America appeal to the United Nations and declare moral and spiritual bankruptcy? I’m just asking.

Just please remember the below quote by the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.:

Justice delayed is justice denied.

We may soon see a rainbow of People Power where there is a radical revolution of values. That is the very reason I suggested several years ago that the acronym, NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), be changed to the National Association for the Advancement of Conscience People.

It’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that will determine your altitude.– Zig Ziegler

I strongly encourage all readers to digest the below quote by Bryan Stevenson:

You ultimately judge the civility of a society, not by how it treats the rich, the powerful, the protected and the highly esteemed. But how it treats the poor, the disfavored and the disadvantaged.

Therefore, America, the pathway to our survival, as a Nation, is relatively straightforward, as suggested by Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.:

We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.

A Foe Reel Mexican Asset

Sometimes, life is unfair, and you have to suck it up and move on and not use it as an excuse. – Robert Cross)

To better help my readers gain a more in-depth perspective and a better understanding of the excruciating pains that most Black people in America endure on the daily, I intentionally revamped my book to include this added chapter.

So, let my journey into the Adult and Parole and Community Services Division begin. When I first arrived at the Race Street parole office in San Jose, California, I was assigned to work under Sally’s supervision. She and I had an excellent working relationship. When it came time for a promotion (to Parole Agent II), Sally acknowledged that she could only promote one agent to PA-II. So, she confided in me, telling me that although I was a better agent that she was going to promote Norma because, as Sally put it, We Mexicans stick together. Sally then stated that I would get the next promotion. Although I did not agree with her rationale, I certainly respected her candor and her cultural decision. I silently hoped that our Black managers and supervisors would follow Sally’s lead. Of course, that was shallow and unrealistic thinking.

I did not realize it at the time, but at that point, Sally joined the utterly disgusting supervisory ranks of the CDCR Unequal Opportunity and Mistreatment of Black peace officers.

It was my understanding that Curtis Jackson (CJ), another parole supervisor, requested me by name. Little did I realize that CJ was the self-appointed and State-endorsed AmeriKoon (aka King Koon) (refer to Chapter 3). Now, my downward trend began.

Sally did not have a problem telling me that her people came first. Why can’t our Black supervisors/managers feel the same way about our people? Our Black people seem to have a hang-up (idiosyncrasy, if you will). Sally was not concerned about the appearance of fairness or favoritism, as many of our Black people are.

That situation reminded me of when I asked my Black female neighbor (there were only five total Black families in my neighborhood) to let her supervisor know that I had a scheduled interview for a position in her department. I then asked my neighbor to put in a good word for me. My neighbor quickly told me, Oh! No! That would be a conflict of interest! Really? That same neighbor was her immediate supervisor’s personal caterer off-duty.

Furthermore, that same Black neighbor, (whom I now call Miss Conflict of Interest), secured her (highly under-qualified) daughter into her (Miss Conflict of Interest’s) supervisory position upon mom’s retirement from State
