"A People in Perils"




As we stand in the mist of a new millennium, about to embark upon another long and stressful journey against injustice; concerning housing,police terrorism, racial profiling, and ex-offenders, homeless veterans, and our babies being rocked and cradle by the state.

I can no longer pretend that I'm blind walking in the dark with a cane or a seeing eye dog, I see what is laid out before our eyes.

I see poor people as well as middle income people being forced out of this city in record numbers, and not because of a viability study, nor a Congress mandated law, but only out of a need for greed.

I see the road that is paved out before us, a marvel, hard and rocky road, we have many pot holes, and many cracks in this system; on this city sidewalk street of life; that needs to be filled and addressed, filled with an understanding that the poor will be among you always.

The poor will no longer hide in the cracks of society or no longer bow down and be the foot stools for the rich, but will stand tall against injustice and shall and will be counted.

I'm no longer Sleeping Beauty, I'm wide awoke and is trying to enlighten my people!

I see big company merging and forcing small companies out of business, I see the state taking paternity of our children, and I see young men and young women being locked up behind cold, gray steel bars, being used as commodities for cheap labor.

I see many of my people being issues felonies like Halloween candy on trick or treat night; a scary thought.

Many of them will not be able to vote in the up incoming historic election.

I can see in the water and spot dry land.

A familiar road, one that we as a people have travel down many times before , a road of injustice that have stolen many lives, and many people lively hoods; where every day is a constant battle just to get up!

A long dusty, whinnying road of trails and tribulations.

We as a people have came to a cross road, and have hit a fork in the road, that leaves us asking the questions, that we need to ask ourselves.

Where do we go from here?

Do we turn back the hands of time? And go back into the days of slavery, or segregation, or march forward into a brand new day into Freedom and jubilation, or stay put, or digress into transgressions?

My heart, mind body and soul and every fabric of my being, screams out and aches with pain and is saying, we came to far to turn back now!

We as a people, need to say no more, we can no longer accept the unacceptable!

Our little Black, Brown and poor White babies deserve a future!

No longer shall we allow the strong holds to bind us, nor cloud our best judgments against righteousness.

Oppose wrong and do the right thing concerning my people!

For over 400 years we have been put down, spit on, marked and ridicude in your unjust society.

Too many of our so called prominent leaders hands are in the cookies jars, afraid to lose a crumb off of the master table, otherwise tied because of too many favors.

My hand are not tied, but open wide to receive, and reveal the truth.

My calling is to reveal the truth so that injustice can no longer continue to grow and flourish like weeds;

growing from the good emerald green ground.

Otherwise it can no longer hide it ugly slimy gray head. Even in high places!




A word to the wise, remember there's something or someone higher than you!

This unjust system will one day surely fall, just like the bricks from public housing wall's, and just like the walls of Jericho, all of this will tumble down one day.

We as a people must continue to stand up against injustice, for God is the beam that we stand for and they stand against.

We will not fall, but stand tall in God's mighty light!

I say just like the days of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Do you have your marching shoes on? Otherwise keep on a walking, keep on a talking, marching down the Freedom lane, marching toward the Freedom Train!

It will come a day when men that think like me will no longer be called Common men, but be known as men that is common!

Your opinions are welcome!!!!!!

We have marched in Lawndale, we have marched in Bronze Ville,
We have marched in Austin, we have marched in the emerald green grass on the west side of Chicago in Garfield Park, as well as on the south side on the concrete walkways in Washington Park.
We have marched in Auburn Grehams, we have marched in the Pullman community, we have marched until our feet have literally became swollen,
Red, raw and sore.
And still yet the violence’s have not seized.
Our babies are being drowned, stabbed and shot down like rabid dogs
Not only by allege gang members but also shot in the back by law enforcements, even some of the killings have not been reported.
Right here on our city streets , right here in Chi-town- right here in good old boy Chicago, right here in America, right here on American rich black soil.
We have marched all over this city, weeping and crying until we have callas on our feet and yet the conditions has worsen .
So now we will take it from the streets, straight to the Chief.
Mayor Richard M. Daley.
He appointed Supt Weiss to do a job, but nothing have stopped the violence’s nor the killing
We need answers, we need solutions, we need the killing to stop, and we need it now!
No more hiding our heads in the sand, no more burying our feet in wet concrete
Our new spiritual for the new millennium is:

“No more weeping, no more weeping, no more weeping over me!
Before I be afraid, I be buried in my grave and go to my lord to be free!”

Police allegedly raid memorial services

Ms. Beauty Turner


On July 25th, all hell broke loose in a Southside neighborhood of Englewood on 57 Winchester, due to reports from the trenches-the people on the grounds reportedly said the Chicago police struck once again, trying to bust up a peaceful memorial to a young man slain by the name of Benny Ross about a week ago.
Family, friends and activists had gather in an open school lot; honoring their love one memory, a love one who had been killed by youth on youth violence. When all of a sudden, according to witnesses (allegedly) numerous of police cars rolled in blasting their sirens and blinking their lights allegedly cussing and calling the African American children, “Black apes according to some of the witnesses.
" The police officers said that Ross weren't a favorite person of their, they were glad that he was dead and gone," according to a reliable witness.
Someone else who didn't want their names mention (due to allege retaliation) told me over the telephone that an officer spoke out bluntly saying “you all need to quit hanging in a playground and go hang in a tree!”
I received a call from Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. of the POCC at 5:58 pm, Many of you might know his father slain Civil Rights Leader of the Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton Sr. Hampton Jr.was on the scene. ,
while talking to him; I could tell that in his voice that he were deeply trouble; as well as highly upset. .
“Hey Sis,’ a pet name he often calls me concerning a story or an event that he want announce, he yelled over the receiver- “The Chicago Police is dragging and beating some children that are on Henderson Elementary School lot. .
“Call for some media to come out here!” He continues.
All while he was talking; I could plainly hear a lot of sirens sounding off in the background, as well as a lot of yelling taking place .
I first called the media and explained to them that there may be a breaking story, gave them the source, time, date and location-
No media showed up, so I stayed with the story.
As a journalist; I called Chicago Police Department spoke people to inquire about the allegation, that had just been brought to my attention.
A police officer told me there was no such action taking place; nothing is going on there! He went on to say that we are trying to do our jobs serve and protect, I politely asked him.
Don’t you think you should first look into those accusation, before answering me I asked him.
He said he would and call me back.
When he called me back, he stuck to the same story as before.
Another twenty Min went passed, Chairman Fred called me back and said that no media was there.
I could still hear loud disturbing sirens as well as scuffling and yelling in the background; sometime getting so loud it drowned out our conversation. After we hung up, ten second later,
Someone called me from Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. telephone telling me that the police dragged Chairman to jail after allegedly beating him.
A few moment later; I received another call telling me about another activist named Grant News burger; who were also allegedly beaten by police officers and taken to jail.
So I called CPD spoke people again and asked them about Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. as well as about Grant being locked up, is there any truth in that?
He hung up vowing to call me back after he checked- less than five min later he said yes; he is locked up, him and ten other people for mob action, a few officers were hurt taken to the hospital; but they will be okay he added. Mind you earlier I was told nothing was going on over there.
Activists reported that: People refused to be intimidated. When police tried to forcibly disperse them, police were met instead with people calling them "murderers!", some holding up Revolution newspapers and pointing to its cover headline "TRIGGER HAPPY POLICE...AND A CRIMINAL SYSTEM". Police charged the crowd with tasers drawn, beating many. Hank Brown, Revolution journalist, activist Fred Hampton, Jr. and Grant News burger along with a number of neighborhood youths were beaten and arrested, including two Revolution distributors.
CPD Spoke person said-“Yes Ms. Turner ten people were arrested for mob action , “Yes. Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. was one of them.”
News burger were taken to a nearby hospital attended to and taken back to a holding cell.
They stayed in jail for twenty four hours and released.
Legal Defends lawyer Anthony Hill came out to see what was happening to the ten young men that were arrested.
According to Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. Their court date is August 22 at 1pm on 51 Wentworth in branch 34-4
To all Activists and family and friends as well as concerned citizens “Come out and show your support for the people involved..”

"Our Rights" as a people by Ms. Beauty Turner

"Our rights"
Ms. Beauty Turner

Our Constitution starts off with these words -“We the people!”
.
We the American people are being forced to accept a water down, diluted version of our Constitutional Rights ,all in the sake of fear.

Fear is an ingredient that the politicians used as a substitute sugar, only to trim the crust off our slice of the American apple pie, to sweeten our taste buds as they continue to cut away our Constitutional rights.
Leaving us with a foreign bitter taste of what America use to be.


With fear lingering over our heads like an American flag, we will readily hand over our rights without a struggle and let the Government have a blank check to cash out, with what ever they say, to so call keeps us safe.
Which is what is leading us into a growing tangle weed of a recession.

Once an old wise man said to me, as I say to you today.
‘You have nothing to fear; but fear itself!”
Use your own heads for more than a hat rack, think before you hand over anything that takes away from who you are!
Fight to keep your rights, fight for what makes America what it is! Stand up and be vigilant for your self- Freedom begin with standing up not sitting down and placing your head in the sand like a frighten ostrich!

Fear is an unnecessary ingredient that is being forced down our narrow throats, we as a people must throw it back up and not swallow this as truth
You know not what to expect when you were a new born. Never knew what life entails.
You don’t know what to expect when you are dead and gone, because many of you haven’t died before and came back to tell it.
Life is a journey that you take and know not where it begin or end- but it is what you do here that makes the different.
Hopefully you create a great different for a multitude of many, than your life wasn’t lived in vain.

Our constitution started off with we the people and that where it must end.
Liberty, justice and Freedom for all!
How sweet it is!

Shedding a mother's tear

By Ms, Beauty Turner

While Mayor Daley Irish eyes are smiling and sleeping,
young Black and Hispanic mothers are sobbing, crying and weeping.
Our babies are dying on our city street;
many of them with no food in their mouth and no shoes on their tiny feet.
Politicians tore down the jects,
saying it was infested with gangs and drugs and rats.
They built mixed income communities in it place,
saying you can move into it if you of another race
On a fix income, they lable you a bum.
But if you are rich and drink rum,
all day!
They say is that how we play!
We are in a recession with our wallets flat
Now they playing with our children lives; Russian Rolette ….
Having phony accountable meetings- waving Hi to the crowd a special greeting,
while marching with "Stop the killing" signs in the hood,
Thinking that all they have to do as politicians to make it good!
Not really getting any traction, only want Chicago as a tourist attraction.
Gun fire erupting in the air , about our babies they don’t seem to care!
All while saying Jody Weiss is the one that not being treated fair!
Chicago streets flows with blood, while Wisconsin rivers flood
Dying Black and Hispanic babies sleeping, young mothers lay crying,
sobbing and weeping.
Another child blood is spilled- another Black or Hispanic child is killed
Superintendent Jody Weiss, treat the Black and Hispanic communities as if they had lice.
Experimenting on our babies; like they are lab mices.
A weeping willow here, shedding a mother's tear,
Please dear Lord wipe away our fear!
The prayer that I pray; is dear God make them sincere!!!!

"A word to the Weiss" by Ms. Beauty Turner

A word to the Weiss

On July 15 the new police Superintendent Jody Weiss was summon to a hearing by the Aldermen on the second floor at City hall located at 121 North LaSalle.

An accountability committee meeting at City Council took place a little after 10AM.

Leading the charge was Alderman Isaac S. Carothers 29th ward;
himself as well as others were highly upset by the crime that have been erupting like hot lava throughout Black and Hispanic gentrifying communities.

Thinking hard about the killing of our youth here in Chicago; it made me think about our telephone lines being known for housing thousands of grey and white pigeons.
There’s an Analogy that stands out vividly in my mind like a sore red thumb; concerning the violence that is plaguing our communities.
That Analogy is……
If these actions are not addressed "Our children are standing on a fragile power keg that is ready to erupt into gun violence at the drop of a pigeon feather.

Over 35 youth have been gunned down on our city streets by allege gang members
As well as eleven young adults have been shot in the back and killed by law enforcement and the numbers are study rising like mercury in a thermostat on a hot muggy day with no end in sight!

Many hot communities that are experiencing youth killings are on the Southside, west side and the South east side-all the areas where many Chicago Housing Authority public housing residents have relocated into.
.
With Weiss not even into his job a good six months; the Chicago crime rate has risen 13%; leaving the streets of Chicago covered like the red sea in our youth blood and not in emerald green grass and yellow flowers like Mayor Daley said that he wanted.

Many of Chicago citizen’s are saying that protecting the environment and not the people is a very unpopular move
If these types of actions continue you can bet that there will be no 2016 Olympic here on the windy shores of Chicago!

Mayor Richard M. Daley as well as Weiss have joined forces blaming the media for bringing attention about officers that inflict unwarranted pain on to civilians, allegedly leaving them too timid to do their jobs affectedly.

Daley as well as Weiss are trying hard to implement the SOS tactics team that they earlier had dismantle because of corruption …….

Many people in high places told me that Weiss is being used as a scrape goat and he should be given time as he experiment with his strategy in policing Chicago.

My mother always said that there are many ways to skin a goat; one-way is to tell the truth and shame the Devil.

As Black and Hispanic women who are mother’s and grandmother’s we can no longer afford to continue to be silence while our children are being killed on our city streets as if they are in a war in Iraq!
Our babies are not lab mice so Weiss could continues {Daley} experimenting with their life‘s.

A word to the Weiss from the Black and Hispanic communities.
We want the killing to stop from gang members as well as from the hands of law enforcement?
And we want it NOW!!!!!
Do the job that you are being healthily paid for by the tax payers to do!
Protect all of Chicago neighborhoods as if it was the Gold coast!
Don’t neglect one, no not one, but serve all!

Is CPD Making Unnecessary Contact?

Is CPD making unnecessary Contacts?

Ms. Beauty Turner

I received numerous of complaints of black men and boys on busses being searched and forced to fill out contact cards by the Chicago Police officers,
A black mother told me that she showed her four year old son; young black men being searched threw and threw by officers, talking as if she were disgusted by it.
She describe the scene:
One of the officer who were Caucasian dressed in his blue uniform pats down a young black man wearing a white tee shirt, they didn’t have too look to far, his pants were already hanging down over his buttocks revealing his blue and white stripy Michael Jordan underwear, he had no belt on.
His large black cotton candy natural uncombed hair spilled, wildly off from underneath his baseball cap.
As the officer yanks it off of his head, and ask the boy do you have anything in your pockets or in your hair that will poke me.
No. the boy replied!
Farther down the aisles other young men as well as older black guys were going through something similar.
While some of the elderly women, middle age women and young girls and some of the babies cried out as they looked up from their seat at this activity in shock.
They made each of the young men and older guys fill out contact cards.
I called CPD Spoke person department and asked them about Young black men and boys being searched on busses is that a law now?
“The police can do that if they receive a call from the bus driver about or during an incident,” A CPD spoke person said.
The mother told me that she told her son as she turns him toward the officers “I want you to see this; this is what you got to look forward to if you get old enough !” all while shaking her head in disgust.
Similar activities happen in slavery days a black mother would show her son a black man hanging from the limb of a tree after he had been lynched for speaking out or not obeying his master.
I could just imagine what that mother said in those days, probably something like this ‘This is what happens to black men that don’t follow the master rules! Or I don’t want you Toby hanging from no tree limb!
Fear was a big tactic that the system used in those days, Many people think that it seem to be similar in these days,
Another incident near 79th street: a young men standing by a car talking to friends who just were deplored out of Iraq- two black detectives jumps out of their car and start searching the young man that were talking too his friends that were seated in the car, allegedly using harsh and abusive language, After other people started to complain they gave the young man who was the driver in the car who had been in Iraq servicing his country a $150 ticket.
“I think that the searches Is against your Constitutional rights , I think the contact cards are just a blanket way of taking all of our rights!” Erick Bryant a young black man who by the way is a Music Engineer said.
Bryant went on too say he were told by an officer recently that you don’t have any rights!
“I don’t feel that what they are doing making people fill out contact cards are right!”
Patrice Robinson a young mother of a twelve year old son said
“If I saw them searching and doing that to my son I will have a fit!”
Robinson went on to say.
“Every black man is not a criminal,” Robinson went on to say.
When it comes to the Contact Cards I’m not satisfy with not knowing what they are doing with the data they are collecting!
Alderman Pat Dowels (3 ward) said.
After bringing these incidents to Attorney Tamara Holder attention (the Attorney who filed a law suit about the Contact cards)
A pattern and practice of police making citizens fill out contact cards must be addressed by our new Superintended Weiss, not all Black men are criminals!
Attorney Tamara Holder said.
You have a Constitutional Right not to be searched and Siege’s!
“Just stand up for your rights and say no even if it means getting arrested for what you believe in!” Holders Replied.
