The Independent Business News Network was established in July of 2008. The goal of IBNN is to provide a different view of the local, national and global news and events that happen in the Black communities around the world. IBNN's expectations are to provide a level of coverage and investigative reporting not seen on local mainstream media, while covering Politics, Education, Money, Business, and Community events. IBNN is an affiliate of Black Politics in Minneapolis, Radical Black USA and other African American news sources. Comments, concerns and questions can be emailed to ibnnnews@gmail.com

You want to Occupy something? How about Occupying North Minneapolis Murders? (Video Rant)

This post has already been read 209 times!

Occupy this, occupy that – what does it all mean? Babies are dying; Black youth are being shot dead; the education system only gets bad when we talk about Black children. What the F*** is going on? Any you say I write negative stuff – Fuck you!

This is incredible. North Minneapolis has a city councilman and a state senator both running to be the next Hennepin County Commissioner for District 2.  We have a city that understands problem solving for a professional sports team while overlooking the immediate need for some type of intervention in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. We have a local foundation that has sat on a $300,000.00 grant from Target for 9-years meant for small businesses in north Minneapolis (more on that later) –who wants to partner with another non-profit that hasn’t done anything in the community for 20-years. Now we continue to have Black men, women and children gunned down and murdered in random acts of senseless violence.

Talk about irony!
