Ric Mathis Sends Fulton County Sheriff’s to Rahiem Shabazz House

Ric Mathis, who has recently exhibited a consistent pattern of hostility towards Black women, has taken legal action by obtaining a restraining / protective order against renowned filmmaker and advocate for social justice, Rahiem Shabazz. Mathis has based his case on unfounded claims, alleging that Shabazz visited his residence, appeared at locations he frequents, and engaged in harassment. Furthermore, Mathis has escalated the situation by alerting law enforcement, falsely asserting that Shabazz is habitually armed.

Shabazz has been an outspoken critic of Mathis’ unethical business practices and his violent mistreatment of Black women, voicing his concerns through social media commentary. This activism has had a detrimental impact on Mathis, resulting in lost business opportunities and eroded trust within the Black community. In response, Mathis has chosen to involve the legal system, leading to a restraining order that prohibits Shabazz from coming within 200 yards of him, despite their close proximity in residence. The police have been to Rahiem Shabazz house on 3 occasions we know about.

This restraining order effectively prevents Rahiem Shabazz from visiting his local grocery store, favorite vegan restaurant, and participating in community events, out of fear of violating the court-mandated distance. In light of these developments, we urge the Black Community and specifically the Atlanta Conscious Community to discontinue extending invitations to Mathis for community gatherings and social functions. We also encourage the community to refrain from engaging in any economic endeavors that empower Ric Mathis.

Following the court hearing, a joint statement from various Black-led organizations will be publicly released, condemning the actions of Ric Mathis.

Necessary Blackness Ep: 81 – Justice For Elijah Nichols

Necessary Blackness Podcast sat down with Aunt of Elijah Nichols, Kindra Nichols for an exclusive one on one interview. This is the first time the family has spoken out about the injustice faced by their loved one. Elijah Nichols promising career as a football star was derailed after he had to defend himself at a white frat party against 3 aggressors. The 18-year old was attending college and was a proud father to a newborn baby before being handed a 45 year sentence.

The sentencing of Elijah Nichols is a tragedy and reeks with racist implication from Judge Joey Showwalter, who sentenced Dustin Lee Moore, who attended the same school, to 2 months for killing a student during a hazing. However, Elijah will have to serve a 45 year suspended sentence for defending himself against 3 white students at a frat party. Mr. Showwalter seems to always use his discretion coupled with leniency when the defendant is White but, impose the maximum amount of sentence to Black defendants. When a freshman was busted on campus for selling marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine, Mr. Showwalter used the mercy of the court despite the defendant being found with $25,000 in cash and a 9mm gun which was found during a search of his on-campus apartment.

Judge Joey Showalter is known for holding fundraisers and speaking on behalf go local and state Republican candidate and is a staunch support of President Donald Trump. Many believe the sentencing of Elijah to 45 years is symbolic to Trump being the 45th President of the United States.

We are asking for everyone to sign the petition and to help in the family fundraising efforts to bring Elijah home.

Kamala Harris: Criminal Justice Reformer or Defender of the Status Quo

After announcing her presidency for the United States, Kamala Harris is being questioned on her past record on mass incarceration as San Francisco’s district attorney and then as California’s attorney general. Most of her policies affected Black Americans and now she has to answer for her punitive-law-and order mentality. Those who experienced her wrath first hand are implying she is not the criminal justice reformer Black America is looking for. The criticism she received thus far on her policies are warranted and must be answered.

But, more importantly she has not specifically stated, what she will do for Black America. No longer is the Black vote to be taken for granted, we are asking for tangibles in 2020

Necessary Blackness Podcast explores Kamala Harris’ record on mass incarceration and the hyper-criminalization of Black men and her voting record while Senator. #Tangibles2020
