Theresa Sharp, the mayor of Lahoma, has a husband named Cary, who decided to spend this past Halloween evening with a few buddies who all donned the white hoods and robes of the Ku Klux Klan. An eyewitness named Misty Meister called the police to report the incident. What she reported to authorities was extremely disturbing. According to Meister, the men were dressed as Klansmen while standing around a a backyard bonfire…and they allegedly burned a cross as well.

Garland County (OK) Sheriff Deputy Aaron Moore told Meister that the men’s decision to been seen dressed in Klan gear was their “constitutional right”. Cary Sharp attempted to explain why he and the other men were dressed in this manner, and he had the following to say:

Sit around the bonfire and drink a couple of beers and thought, well my buddy — his last name is White — and the subject got brung up. We just thought it’d be something to do (because they thought it’d be funny), and it’s not something to do. I am embarrassed. I’ve shamed my family and friends, and I apologize for that.

Although Mayor Sharp delivered an apology in regards to her husband, we can’t help but wonder about the countless numbers of politicians here in the U.S. who are either directly involved in these white nationalist (supremacist) groups, or are very closely connected to people who are. No charges were pressed against Cary Sharp or his accomplices.

If there has been one question alone that has created a conversational wildfire in Black Society, it’s the question of where “Black Wall Street” should make its new home. Should the new “Black Wall Street” take residence in Atlanta, with its Black mayor, countless Black millionaires, entrepreneurs, and its recently-created reputation of “Black Hollywood“? Should it be rooted in Chicago, the midwestern City that was founded by a Black man, and  the same city where the Nation Of Islam is based? What about Detroit, the largest city in Michigan with a majority Black population that once served as an incubator to some of the greatest music ever created (by Melanoid people nonetheless) by the Brothers and Sisters at Motown?

All of the previous questions are not only great questions to ask and consider, but they also happen to all be the correct answers. The answer is that all of the cities mentioned above–in addition to any other city of Melanoid people willing to create their own Black economic base–should  have a new “Black Wall Street“. With the militaristic attacks executed by the hands of white supremacists during the early 20th century to destroy the original “Black Wall Street” in Tulsa, OK, it’s a safe assumption to acknowledge that  building new “Black Wall STREETS” in as many cities inhabited by Melanoid people as possible is the best option at this point..

The following video clip is a trailer to an upcoming film which shows the importance of building multiple “Black Wall Street” districts to avoid being easily isolated for destruction at the hands of white supremacists once again.
