An article I read about the Sean Bell murder case inspired this episode. The article is entitled “Sean Bell Murder = New Black Bachelor Party Paradigm” on LivingInBlack.com.
As you recall, our son Sean Bell was shot 50 times and murdered by the NYPD outside of a strip club where Sean had his bachelor party.
The article focuses on the need for Black men to abandon the white male idea of the bachelor party (strip clubs, exotic dancers, alcohol, drugs, etc.) and to embrace a new type of bachelor party that empowers the Black family.
The author suggests that if we had a different type of bachelor party paradigm perhaps Sean Bell would still be alive.
I expand on the article by advocating the need for Black people and Black men especially to make different lifestyle choices.
Black men are a target. The justice system is not just. Brothas must not make it easy for the enemy to “get at them.” Brothas must avoid certain situations and circumstances that make them “sitting ducks.”
The “injustice system” won’t change so we must change!
