Time has been unkind to the incarcerated Black people inside
Arizona prisons. Day in and day out they have suffered badly at the hands of
the White supremacy regime who sit at the helm of this agency not only in the chairs
of wardens throughout the state but also on the fourth floor in Phoenix where
all the policies and strategies are drawn on a large board hanging on the wall
inside their conference room.
Black prisoners are powerless pawns in a game of chess and
political tricks that has them at a distinct disadvantage. They are a minority
among the Whites and Mexicans. They are one step above Native Americans in
numbers but do not fit in several social groups on many open yards throughout the
state. They are in fact outcasts among those cast away by society through the
criminal justice system.
Racism fuels violence and hate as it spreads like wildfires
in a Southwest territory that has an abundance of fuel laying on the ground
throughout the desert region waiting for someone to light a match and set it
ablaze. Today there is much racism hidden under the carpet of those in power
because of their own ideology where these Black people belong on the caste
system they have developed through cultural insensitivities and biased thinking
There is a race war going on inside of Arizona prisons but
nothing is being done to stop the violence. There are sporadic homicides and
numerous assaults taking place as the agency hushes their failures to stop such
behaviors. The war is between Mexicans and Blacks and is fueled by the White
gangs in charge of the prisons as well as serving proxy for the administration on
the yards through silent disregard of their subversive actions to stoke the
fire and create the tension needed to keep this war going
The war is a carryover from the California prison wars
between the Mexicans and Blacks. It has been going on for decades but not attention
has been paid to it since it has become a daily event of street killings and
prison related murders. There is a weak truce ongoing after the riot in Kaibab
but it won’t hold for very much longer. There is a new group appearing on the
horizon and it is gathering strength in numbers mainly due to the fact they
need to group up for protection and survival.
This new groups has already existed in our communities but
is new to Arizona prisons. This group is called the New Afrikan Revolutionary
group and it’s ready to fight for its own survival inside these corrupted
prisons. “The Republic
of New Africa believes that Black People in Amerikay make up a nation of
people, a people separate and apart from the Americana people. The RNA also
believes that as a nation of people, we are entitled to all of the rights of a
nation, including the right to land and self-determination."
"The RNA further
believes that all the land in Amerikay, upon which Black People have lived for
a long time, worked and made rich as slaves, and fought to survive on is land
that belongs to us as a People. We must gain control of that land because land
is the basis of independence, freedom, justice and equality. We cannot talk
about self-determination without talking about land.”
The New Afrikan group has formed to stand and defend their
principles and existence. They realized it was time to end the running and face
their revolutionary consciousness that they have a right to co-exist in this violence
twisted and evil-minded social family setting called prison gangs and are organizing
to survive their legacy against oppression and even slavery since inmate labor
is cheap and plentiful.
It will reflect in the years to come that these Black social
circles will eventually become validated prison gang or disruptive group as
they will arm themselves and defend their rights inside the prison walls. History
will also reflect the fact that this group was created out of the need to
organize and band together in order to give themselves the protection that the
administrators fail to give them under the equal protection laws of the United
States.
These people will begin teaching revolutionary ideals that will draw
them away from our own government and formulate a government of their own
inside and outside our prisons
