Kabaka Oba Can He R.I.P.?















Well, here He is Cincinnati City Council, once dreaded nightmare...

Kabaka Oba, was a Black Activist that gave City Hall and our Police Department, pure Hell. It was nothing for Oba to show up at one of the weekly council meetings in a Klu Klux Klan dunce hat with his face covered. This was the flavor of his way.

A few short weeks ago, he was shot down on the very City Hall steps that he traveled. Immediately, the county jail was put on Lockdown. Officials was scared to death, "What's going to happen if a White man done shot him?" One of the 1st questions asked by a Newsreporter to Mayor Mark Mallory, "Will the Black community riot if we find out he was gunned down by a white man?" This was like 1 hour after the incident.

Mayor Mallory looked at him and addressed him, but the look on his face becuz I am a woman of color read, "You dumb idiot, don't forget you're talking to a BLACK MAN. " "And, everytime something of wrongness occurs WE don't take to the streets and riot!"

The media was thinking back to the young black man who was senselessly gunned down by metro, Mr. Timothy Thomas . A certain segment, you know who of our City called it a riot.

Let me set the freakin record straight, We Did Not Riot! There was an uprising and a revolt. We were tired of our sons, brothers, nephews, cousins & friends being slayed & gunned down in the street by these racist cops & Mastah's. Can you feel me? They were making target practice out of our young brothas. Cincinnati was in the throes of a genocide.

This was a revolt and uprising like many a Nation has had to do! If you have never lived it, then YOU can't stand in judgment. I was in the midst of the demonstrations and marches. I was willing to DIE for this cause. No Justice No Peace! You will not keep killing our young sons.

Well, it turns out Oba was gunned down by a Black Man. This was longtime ongoing feud. The man had lots of enemies and rightly so. Kabaka could be a real live bully. BUT, he help bridge the gap of hatred felt among the young black men and the white racist cops.

Oba was a member of the Black Fists and the same way folks thought of the Black Panthers is the same way they thought of the Black Fists, violent without a real cause group of black people.

Oba is dead, but some won't let him rest in peace. Something on a personal level is brewing and won't let rest come in the air. There won't be any killings or violence, but somethings just need to be, let it alone. The rumor has it someone very close to him set him up on that day. They knew it was going down. Very strange things have been reported.

But, Kabaka Oba my brother I say goodnight and blessed dreams.

In A Minute...Pinklillies On A Beautiful Day!
