Victims Of The 'hood (VOTH)

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement helped to prove that the police have an increased level of brutality towards minorities, especially low income minorities.  BLM helped bring about awareness and change in the judicial system while increasing opportunities for low income minorities, especially “black” people.  Those efforts are applauded even though their methods weren’t optimal.  The police’s actions towards George Floyd was wrong and it is good that those involved where held accountable.  Cases like those should be taken seriously because they help to show the corrupt side of law enforcement and that much work still needs to be done to make sure that justice is served equally and the licenses given to law enforcement aren’t abused.

With that said, there are two sides to every story.  While there are corrupt cops like those involved in the George Floyd case, there are probably more good cops.  While there are innocent “black” people who are being mistreated due to the problems in law enforcement, there are hardened “black” criminals who need to be dealt with a heavy hand but not necessarily killed.  While the police department is being held accountable and pressured to make better decisions, minorities should also be held accountable and encouraged not to engage in illegal activities.  

With some police forces being stubborn and not admitting to gross police misconduct in the George Floyd case, some have chosen to turn a blind eye to illegal activities in some predominantly “black” communities.  This has led to an increase in crime in those neighborhoods which is leaking into higher income areas.  America is going down a dangerous road that could lead it into becoming a lawless and violent land.  Help prevent that by supporting the good cops who take their jobs seriously, have integrity, always try to do what is right and remember that they are hired to serve the people not to stay loyal to a corrupt brotherhood that will even terrorize its own to achieve its own agenda.  One way to help is to expose the hardened criminals that are taking advantage of the public’s current supportive stance towards “blacks”, especially “blacks” who live in high crime areas.  These criminals from the ‘hood take advantage by playing victim while they are victimizing others and pointing fingers when they are part of the problem.

The victims of the ‘hood need to stand up and be heard.  The victims who live in the ‘hood are currently silenced by the codes of the street (ex. “snitches get stitches”) so victims who live outside of the ‘hood should publicly share their own stories.  Victims of the ‘hood who don’t live in the ‘hood are encouraged to send their stories to Tennuni Publishing to be part of a compilation of victim’s stories.  These stories will be in a free book that will help raise awareness to the other part of the problem and hold those who live in the ‘hood but choose to engage in illegal activities accountable.  

Victims Of The “hood (VOTH) is an association for people who don’t live in the ‘hood but have been victimized by people who do live the ‘hood and/or are from the ‘hood.  It is a support group specifically for victims who are not from the hood and live outside of the hood.  Their experience is different from victims who are from the hood and/or live in the hood so that is why they are regarded separately.  They have no ties to the hood and the attacks effect they differently.

Examples of a VOTH are:

1. A suburban “black” female with no ties to the ‘hood who was attacked by three young girls from the ‘hood after they went on a shoplifting spree at a suburban department store.

2. An Asian female who was robbed and body slammed by a young boy from the ‘hood causing her to lose her ability to walk.

3. A “white” female who was attacked by a male student who had ties to the 'hood for taking away his phone after he used it in school when it was not allowed.

4. A “white” female who was hit by her boyfriend from the ‘hood after she mouthed off to him.

5. A young non-black brother and sister who were attacked by bunch of kids from the ‘hood on a school bus.

These are some examples but examples are not limited to these types of incidents.  Right now only stories that are documented will be accepted.  If you are a VOTH and want to share your story, please contact Tenunni Publishing at:
