The Triumph of the Queens - The Dunbar Village Initiative

We did it. Using the strategic concepts that we learned in the Queenly Art of Political Warfare, we achieved all of the goals of our first campaign to implement the Black Women's Agenda.

Our Royal Pawns, our Bishops, our Rooks, and our Knights worked in concert to achieve our intentions with integrity and strength.

Our goals were simple and clear from the start:

Goal: We wanted both Al Sharpton and the NAACP to reverse their irresponsible statements that advocated bail for the alleged rapists/torturers of the Dunbar Village Atrocity.

Victory: Both Al Sharpton and the NAACP have expressed some form of regret for their recent involvement in the Dunbar Village case. They have also both made commitments to assist the true victims of this crime.

While both agencies made a bizarre attempt to impeach our assessment of the facts, we were publicly vindicated by the mainstream media due to the overwhelming evidence of videotape, reports from eyewitness mainstream media representatives, the testimony of civilian eyewitnesses, and because of pictures of the documentation that was passed out at the gathering.

Our integrity remains intact.


Goal: We wanted both the NAACP and the National Action Network to cease downgrading the gang rape/torture/atrocity of the Dunbar Village by making faulty and inappropriate comparisons to an unrelated gang rape.

Victory: The NAACP apologized for their attempt to compare these two cases. Al Sharpton also admitted on his radio show that mistakes were made on his part. Although Mr. Sharpton has not specifically apologized for this comparison, he made very strong statements criticizing the civil rights movement for failing to come to the aid of black women who are the victims of black on black crime.


Goal: We wanted to see some movement toward the apprehension and prosecution of the remaining six attackers in the Dunbar Village Atrocity.

This weekend, the police requested warrants for two more suspects in the Dunbar Village case. We can not claim responsibility for the timing of these warrants, but we should be very glad to see this kind of progress. It does take many individuals and agencies working together to raise awareness and resources for dealing with crime in any neighborhood.

Goal: We declared that we hoped to see an upsurge of genuine victim advocacy for the true victims in the Dunbar Village Atrocity.

Victory: Al Sharpton, made a public commitment to uphold his previous promise to advocate for the residents of the Dunbar Village housing complex. (Previously, Al Sharpton had canceled three meetings to assist the residents of Dunbar Village after months of persistent appeals for help from a resident in the complex.)

This past weekend, the NAACP met with the prosecutors of the case, in which they voiced “some very, very strong interest and concern in supporting the victims of the Dunbar case, they were completely focused on the victims."

This campaign was a clear and undisputable victory for the Battalion of the Queenly Order. I officially raise our new, official Royal Banner (see above on this post) in triumph!

We didn’t even have to bring out our big weapons… I had 16 NAACP award recipients (and some are prominent people) who were prepared to publicly return their awards in protest, and had appointments to talk to five more. We have postponed that next initiative... and we will watch and see the next movements of the NAACP on this matter, and hope to drop that new strike altogether.

While we have accomplished our initiative, the full Dunbar Village story is not yet complete. We should continue to do our best to assist the victims, promote the call for justice, and to address the conditions that promote this kind of barbarism in our society.

I hope that you, dear readers, now understand that the Queenly Art of Political Warfare isn’t just some cute and intellectual exercise for bourgoise black women who have nothing better to talk about on their free time. It is the vehicle for solid ground to be regained on behalf of American black women.

Everything that was mentioned in this post happened in two weeks -- which is an astounding rate of speed for this 180 degree turnaround. I almost have whiplash from it. This campaign is evidence that black women have a tremendously deep well of untapped power, and that we actually do have the ability to make this country a more hospitable place for ourselves.

Additionally, a new lesson was learned: we are not as alone as we previously believed. We not only had the genuine support of several white female bloggers, we also had bold, courageous help from men, both black and white, who believed in our cause.

I have another post that will spell out how we accomplished our tasks, and we will be able to properly thank our allies: villager, Aaron, BlkSeagoat, and others.

For our daughters, grand daughters, and all of progeny’s sake, I will document everything that happened in this initiative, so that they will learn about the rebirth of the Black Queens, and prepare themselves to pick up the torch when we become too tired to fight.

Queens: this concludes our first practical application in the Queenly Art of Political Warfare. Any questions?
