Joel Osteen 

Sometimes it’s like a door slammed in our face: a person walked away, a friend betrayed us, we came down with an illness. The door looks permanently closed. But the Scripture says, “God will open doors that no person can shut.” He is your doorkeeper.

"What about Black-on-Black Killings??"


90% of Black people killed were killed by other Black people.

It's a question sometimes asked in the context of recent news stories such as the drive-by shooting of 15 funeral mourners in the predominately Black Chicago neighborhood of Auburn Gresham. The deceased, Donnie Weatherby, a Black man, was killed in an earlier gang-related shooting, police said.

It's a phrase or a concept that at times, recently, has been used by some conservatives to ask why the same activists and community members calling for police reform seemingly, in their view, don't express the same outrage when someone who is Black is killed or injured by another Black person.

In 2015, Donald Trump, when he was a candidate for president, tweeted a misleading graphic that claimed that 97% of Black people killed are killed by other Black people. 

Fact checkers deemed the tweet as promoting false statistics. The tweet was "quickly revealed as erroneous" according to the Washington Post. From the FBI's Universal Crime Report in 2014; .. 90% of Black people killed were killed by other Black people and 14.8% of white people killed were killed by Black people. 

The phrase is not only used by white people but also by many Black people calling out crime in their communities.

John Ayala reportedly used the phrase after his grandson, 11-year-old Davon McNeal, was fatally shot during a Fourth of July cookout in Washington, D.C., according to The Associated Press. The family is Black, as per Ayala's social media, as are the suspects in McNeal's death.

"We're protesting for months, for weeks, saying, 'Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter.' Black lives matter it seems like, only when a police officer shoots a black person. What about all the Black-on-Black crime that's happening in the community?" asked Ayala, in a video posted to grabien.com.

ABC News reached out to Ayala to confirm his statement, but has yet to receive a response.

In the case of 9-year-old Devante Bryant, who was fatally shot in New Orleans earlier in July, New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson, who is Black, pleaded with the community for an end to what he called "senseless violence" and "Black-on-Black" crime, reported Fox 8 News.

And after the death of 8-year-old Secoriea Turner, allegedly by a Black teen, two Black Atlanta City Council members used it as well.

"If Black lives matter, they have to matter all the time," and "Black-on-Black killing, any killing that is unnecessary, they all matter," they said.

Those who use the term say it is an important point in describing the disproportionate amount of crime perpetrated by Black people against other Black people. 


When will we talk about the "Real Issue here??" Blacks Killing Blacks. 

Come on Man ..   Stop Lying ..   Get Real .. 

With Less & Less Police on the streets even more are dying. Wake Up ..

If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes true in your mind.


Johnnie “Ken” Register’s. Not getting out of Prison. Amen


                                                Johnnie “Ken” Register’s

                         He Waived his Right for a Parole Hearing

                                         " He's Not Getting out."  

                                             Feb. 2024 next Parole Hearing 

CONWAY, S.C. (WBTW) — A man convicted of the 1991 killing of a student in Conway has waived his right to a parole hearing, according to the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.

Johnnie “Ken” Register’s hearing was scheduled for Feb. 9, according to Anita Dantzler, the department’s director of public information. He is next eligible for a hearing in two years.

Register was imprisoned for raping and killing 17-year-old Crystal Faye Todd.

An online petition created a month ago called for Register to be denied probation.

“Ken was supposed to be one of Crystal’s best friends and was even a pall bearer at Crystal’s funeral,” the petition, posted on Change.org, reads. “Ken confessed to the crimes and was convicted on, among other evidence, his DNA found at the crime scene.”

The petition states that Horry County citizens do not think Register can be rehabilitated.

“Even his name still brings fear to many residents,” the petition reads.

As of Friday afternoon, the petition had received more than 2,631 signatures.
