Miller: Black America must choose
our destiny
By
Attorney Roy Miller
ATLANTA, April 19,
2012, 5 p.m.
- Twenty-one
years ago I began practicing law. I felt devastated by the
increasingly amount of Blacks that I saw imprisoned. Most
charges were for Black on Black ..violent crimes, theft and drug
crimes. Our communities had changed from the safest environment
to one of danger. I knew that, how we treat and show love to
each other could change our communities back to safe
environments for children and for the elderly. When you look at
the Black imprisonment stats that I provide below, realize that
Black on Black crime accounts for most incarceration. We hurt,
kill, sell drugs and steal from each other. God has always given
us the power to determine how we treat each other. I wanted to
fight for and inspire change. I have emphasized the power of
demanding and receiving respect for each other.
In 1994, I was placed in a head on
head collision with the N-word and how it helped to condition
children to accept disrespect. I knew that throughout time ...
two things have always been certain ... those that demand
respect have always been on top and those that accept disrespect
have always been on the bottom. Accepting disrespect has a
power. The N-word, at its worse ... is the ultimate form of
disrespect against Blacks. I knew that the N-word was a friend
of hate, a friend of slavery, a friend of segregation and today,
a friend of Black on Black Crime. In 1994, God allowed me to
become the first and only person to succeed at having the n-word
deleted from a major dictionary. I felt that God allowed this
accomplishment to show humanity that, despite the odds ... If
you can pull the tooth of a tiger, you can conquer the tiger. No
problem is too big for God, if we have faith and believe. We may
not be able to control how the world treats us ... but we can
control how we treat us. We have got to live by the rule of
giving respect and demanding respect.

Black on Black crime is a form of hate and it
should never be glorified and rewarded. Excuses for things that we
independently control must stop. The numbers below will change by 50 percent
in 7 years, if Black on Black crime stops.
