This is part two of the lecture “Division and Separation: Death of a Revolutionary,” by General Divine Minister Sinque-El. There is an elite group of inmate slaves that is looked upon by the guards with great favor because they share the same basic ideals. Prisons exploit the weaknesses in human nature, especially those weaknesses produced by an alienating society like prison. Their weakness is transmuted into submission and subserviency. This type of behavior is conducive to the guard’s goal of total control and manipulation. If inmate slaves will not resist or complain, nor will they go on a strike to support a political prisoner’s grievances, they are totally alienated from the reality of their environment and their psychological and emotional interdependence with the police welds them into a sadomasochistic and crippled world of the weak preying upon the weak.
The application of the ideal of unity and solidarity has been abandoned and forsaken by the Black prisoners in the California prisons at a time when it is needed most. The Black gangs, such as the Crips, the Bloods, the Black Guerilla Family, 415 KUMI, Muslims etc, continue to be engulfed in an ‘us over here and them over’ there mentality, even though this threatens their very existence as a whole. Many Southern Mexican gangs have adopted a street and prison principle that snitching ain’t snitching if you inform on or work with the police against an African, as that is just an act of war against the enemy.
The Black Guerrilla Family [BGF] was founded on a revolutionary platform as a military organization in a political situation, but after two decades of isolating positive leadership in the San Quentin Adjustment Center and the Pelican Bay SHU, and the police promoting economically motivated drug dealing, CDCR prisons have transformed the mass membership of Jamaa [BGF]. Founders and leadership struggled for years against this change, which led to the death of many of the new BGF new regime. For 50 years, the Nuestra Familia and the Northern Mexican gangs were all allies and comrades-in-arms in the conflict with Mexican Mafia and Southern gangs. However, that alliance relationship dissolved and ended in 2015.
But in an act of ingenious self-preservation, military intelligence and cultural consciousness, these two Mexican gangs, that were mortal enemies engaged in a fifty year long blood war, have now made a peace treaty in prison and on the streets, but also function as allies in Brown Pride and will fight against the fragmented Blacks with full support of the racist prison guards in the Aryan Brotherhood. Despite this devastating reality, as well as being outnumbered 10 to one, the Black gangs still refuse to unite themselves and put their heads and resources together to form an unstoppable military, economic and political movement in prisons and on the streets. The difference between what the BGF was and what the BGF is leads to ask the questions, is it self-hate, an example of pure ignorance and stupidity, or is this the residue after effects of 500 years of slavery, oppression, chemical drug warfare, and miseducation of the Black man –the Willie Lynch syndrome? You figure it out. Bam!
