Marvin X took a break from finishing his Notes of an Artistic Freedom Fighter
to
return to his Academy of da Corner #1, 14th and Broadway, downtown
Oakland across the street from City Hall and Oscar Grant Plaza. Marvin X
says it is the most dangerous classroom in the world. In what classroom
do US Marines get shot in the head by police and the cased closed? If
US Marines can get shot in the head by police, what chance did Oscar
Grant have? My involvement with murder under the color of law began with
the first case the Black Panther Newspaper headlined The Richmond
Police Killing of Denzill Dowell, 1966. Of course Denzill was hardly
tahe first Black killed in California history by police under the color
of law. In 1979 the OPD were killing a Black man a month, until they
killed my best friends baby brother, Melvin Black. I was teaching
English at the University of Nevada, Reno part-time and working as a
planner/data analyst for a community services agency, plus teaching in
Upward Bound at UNR and teaching technical writing at Nevada Community
College. The Nevada Committee for the Humanities gave me two planning
grants via the National Endowment for the Humanities. I had a theory that when one enters a town, there are two people to know immediately: the preacher and the banker, afterall, the preacher knows everybody and the banker will, to my surprise, let one get overdrawn but continue to withdraw money. But as a dramatist, I know all dramas come to The End.
So I was
living the good life until the OPD killed my friend's baby brother. How could I enjoy my joy while my friends and comrades are in trauma and grief from the low intensity eternal battle with the forces of evil, no matter what color in this global conspiracy to bleed to death the 85% oppressed who are deaf dumb and blind to ultimate reality, a step above the low information vibration. In this era of the cellphone computer, there is no excuse for ignorance. Google Becky and she will tell you everything going on in the world. Becky will say Did you mean that....? But if one is stuck in the world of make believe and conspicuous consumption (Frazier, Black Bourgeoisie); if one dresses like an NBA player while one paycheck away from homelessness, there is a serious problem here. The question is how sick is the patient: mild, moderate or severe?
Time to leave Reno, the biggest little Mississippi in the world
My revolutionary comrades in Oakland demanded I leave Reno immediately and help my friend and his family in their hour of grief. I didn't want to return to the battle field, after all the Mormon mafia in Reno was treating me royally. I was one of the two or three Blacks teaching and/or working at UNR. When Eldridge Cleave came to stay with me, as per the ladies, he said I'd picked all the lilies in the field. Yes, I was single and living a licentious life. I gave him a white girl student who was having sex with Black athletes, me and anyone else with a dick, she told me. She couldn't boil water without burning the pot. In the players manner, I gave her to Eldridge, telling him she gave good head, which was a lie and Eldridge, being a connoisseur of sex, chided me for claiming she gave good head. The connoisseur claimed nine out of ten women were an insult to a dick.For sure, not every woman will describe herself as a beast, those who do, usually are a beast!
When my daughters visited me that summer, they really didn't like Efetayo. Nefertiti said, "Dad, you take one and bring another. And please don't let Efetayo cook. She burns up everything." And about my young student from UNR Upward Bound, Bernice, Nefertiti said, "Dad, she's just a baby." Bernice was 18 when I "caught her" while teaching Upward Bound. Ok, I have a love for young people. FYI, I married two of my students, Nisa from UC Berkeley and Barbara/Hasani from my controversial lectureship at Fresno State University. Nisa is mother of my daughter Muhammida, Barbara/Hasani is mother of Nefertiti and Amira.
Bernice was victim of sexual abuse from her male relatives, so traumatized when we tried to have sex she went into convulsions. We have no clue what trauma our children have experienced. Often men don't care about the woman's trauma and grief, for htmen have an insatiable desire to stick their penis in any hole, even a hole in the ground. At the end of Upward Bound, Bernice called me in the middle of the night saying she was going to kill herself. I told her I would drive the hundred miles to Hawthorn to keep her from killing herself. Is there recovery from sex with father and brother in law?
Is there recovery from having sex with your three brothers until they are no longer brothers but boyfriends who this sister/now girlfriend sets a schedule for her brothers/boyfriends.
See my memoir My Friend the Devil. FYI, Nevada is the most conservative state in the union. Ronald Reagan's campaign for president was operated out of Reno. His best friend was Senator Paul Laxalt of Reno. Head of the Republican National Committee was Attorney Frank Fahrenkopf of Reno.

My
boss at the Community Services Agency where I worked as a planner, came
from a meeting with State officials and told me to tell Eldridge if he
didn't leave Nevada they were going to kill him, even though a black AME
preacher had given him land near Lake Lahontan, Silver Springs Nevada,
near Reno, where Cleaver wanted to establish his ministry. The residents
in this conservative community wanted no part of Cleaver and as his
chief assistant, he sent me to the planning committee to address his
presence in the area, especially since the land donated by a Black AME
preacher and his white wife was adjacent to Lake Lahontan.
The
planning committee meeting, open to the public, was like a lynching
party but they wanted Cleaver not me, so he stayed alive and I did as
well although in the old days any nigger would have been fine. Do you
think I was saved from the lynching tree because I was teaching at
University of Nevada? I don't think so. But they didn't want me, they
wanted Nat Turner.
Soon after my boss
delivered the message from Massa that Eldridge Cleaver had to go, and
with Rev. Chicken Wing reversing his land donation, probably on pain of
death, Cleaver packed up and left my house in Reno. At the same time I
concluded my days of lasciviousness were over and it was back to the
battlefield. The final straw came after Cleaver departed and shortly
after I did as well to help organize a response to the killing of 15
year old Melvin Black, my best friend and top Arabic student's tragedy.
Even though I was living a good life (I do better around Conservative
whites--I didn't care that a reporter from the Reno Gazette let me know
he was a Red Neck. Just give me respect. I am a Blackneck. I don't want
your woman. Will you want to agree not to mess with mine, I will surely
agree to leave yours alone. Now I must be honest and say that since I
had a class full of white girls who were fucking the Black athletes and
reported their activities to me, yes, despite their parents, who
included UNR professors, told their children, "Niggers are bad news."
For sure, the white girls found out Niggers are good news and came after
me as well. The most important thing I learned from working with
Eldridge Cleaver was he demanded I arrange first class accommodations
whenever we traveled. It was a great lesson to demand first class
treatment since we are addicted to second class service. I had no
choice since teaching and working in Reno, I read the San Francisco
Chronicle daily, along with the LA Times and the NY Times. The catalyst
was picking up the SF Chronicle that morning then throwing it down after
seeing the headlines about another Black man killed by the OPD, but
later that night I flipped to the back page and there was pic of my
friend Lawrence McKinney, aka Abdul Rahim and his sister Charlotte Black
protesting at City Hall.
We formed a
community planning committee that decided on The Melvin Black Human
Rights Conference at the Oakland Auditorium. According to Edith Austin,
the master journalist and political organizer, she said 5,000 Blacks
attended from 12 Noon to Midnight without incident. I called my friend
Minister Farrakhan who agreed to be the featured speaker. Other speakers
included Angela Davis, Eldridge Cleaver, Paul Cobb, Oba T Shaka, Dessie
Woods Jones, et al. After a monologue by Khalid Abdullah Tarik Al
Mansour, aka Att. Donad Warden, founder of the Afro American Association
that gave birth or consciousness to the Black Panther Party, Black Arts
Movement, Black Studies and Kwanza (Maulana Karenga was the Los Angeles
representative of the Afro American Association).
I will
close with this: after the Melvin Black Human Rights Forum, the OPD
killing of Blacks subsided, but what followed was drive by killings with
UZIs and the epidemic of Crack cocaine that took us backward beyond
slavery.

El'Malik Abdul Muhammad and Master Teacher Marvin X at Academy of da Corner #1, 14th and Broadway, downtown Oakland. Marvin X has educated and counseled several members of the Muhammad family on spirituality and male/female relations. His 18 page pamphlet on partner relations Mythology of Pussy and Dick is a black underground classic, a healing treatise (biblotherapy) for elders, parents, sons and daughters. A sixteen year old female read MOPD with her mother and told the author, "I wish I'd read it when I was eight!" An elder gentleman told MX, "I hate to admit it but I learned something from your MOPD. Today someone asked did Trump write it. I shouted as they passed, Harvey Weinstein wrote it, although MOPD is for the liberation of all men and women globally who suffer from the addiction to the patriarchal mythology of domination.
Marvin X returned to his Academy of da Corner #1, 14th and Broadway, downtown Oakland in the center of the Black Arts Movement District along the 14th Street corridor from the Lower Bottom to Lake Merritt. He was immediately inundated with problems of the mentally ill and persons suffering trauma and unresolved grief. A black mother gave him a leaflet with her murdered daughter's pic seeking community support since the OPD has been slow to respond. A white man in a pink dress stopped by with his hands tied with wrapping cloth. A beautiful sister came through wanting to read the Bible to Marvin X, but he ushered her away with her Bible reading. A brother with no shit proceeded to climb the light pole until one of his friends called him down. He then came to Marvin's book and literature table and asked if he could get (his regular) two dollars to move his mad act across the street. Marvin immediately reached into the donation jar and gave the man $2.00. A conscious seeking brother gave a iet$30.00 donation for the collected books of Drs. Julia and Nathan Hare. A sister refused the Movement Newspaper with the Red, Black and Green flag in the centerfold. She said she didn't put flags in her house. Anyway, what dat flag about? Master teacher told her it was the Pan African flag created by Marcus Garvey. She still didn't want it. Recently, Marvin X went into shock when a young man came to his Lakeshore Ave. Academy and asked if Marcus Garvey was an NBA player?
Blacks with consciousness are often presumptuous and arrogant when dealing with the ignorant of our people, to say nothing of white people who have convinced many of us they know everything, yet one need only look at the world White supremacy/lunacy has created. With a trillion dollar national security budget, America cannot insure the safety of her white school children, no need to mention the murder, trauma and grief non-white children have long endured. I am so tired of quoting James Baldwin, "The murder of my child will not make your child safe."
A young brother stopped to buy some conscious literature. A sister perused with great interest and said she would return. Some return, some don't, and this is coast to coast, whether Marvin's Academy is in Wash, D.C., Philly, Newark, Brooklyn, Harlem. Dirty South too. The consensus is that Marvin X has a different point of view and people are seeking something different, especially something provocative and challenging their long dormant brain cells.
