The Four Chains™: How Religion, Education, Healthcare, and Law Still Keep Us Enslaved

They don’t whip us anymore—but we’re still being chained.

Not by iron.

Not by plantations.

But by systems designed to control Black minds, bodies, and destinies under the disguise of order, protection, and “opportunity.”

I call them The Four Chains™—and they’ve been binding us for generations:

  1. Religion
  2. Education
  3. Healthcare
  4. The Legal System

I know because I lived it.

Because my son didn’t just die—he was targeted.

And what they did to him, to Trayvon, and to so many others…

they’re still doing to us now.

Chain 1: Religion – Spiritual Slavery

What should be a sanctuary became a tool of silence.

  1. We’re taught to forgive before we even process the pain
  2. We’re told to stay quiet in the name of “respecting leadership”
  3. The Black church often became a tool of compliance, not liberation

Spiritual gaslighting is real—and many pastors are on the payroll of politicians who profit from our pain.

Chain 2: Education – Mental Enslavement

From the moment our sons enter a classroom, they’re profiled.

  1. Suspended for “aggression” while white kids get “boys will be boys”
  2. Pushed into IEPs and labeled instead of supported
  3. History whitewashed, culture erased, potential buried

This system doesn’t educate our children—it conditions them to submit.

Chain 3: Healthcare – Physical Targeting

As a former insurance agent and healthcare worker, I saw it clearly:

  1. Black women denied life insurance over trauma-induced conditions
  2. Medicaid weaponized to surveil families, not support them
  3. Our bodies are experimented on, not protected

The system doesn’t heal us. It profits from our illness.

Chain 4: The Legal System – Modern Slavery

Justice? Or just another cage?

  1. Black boys are tried as adults while white teens get “second chances”
  2. Public defenders push pleas instead of fighting for truth
  3. Mothers are silenced, blamed, and buried under paperwork

My son’s life was stolen, and they tried to bury his truth under “process.”

But I dug it back up.

Conclusion:

These aren’t separate systems.

They are a web—a matrix of modern-day enslavement that keeps Black families fighting for breath.

But the moment we name it…

We can break it.

That’s why I created The Four Chains™ spoken word piece.

To teach. To testify. To wake the ones still sleeping.

This is our blueprint.

Not for survival—but for liberation.

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear There are some stories you don’t just watch—you feel. When the headlines broke about Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy , I didn’t need the full details to understand the truth. I didn’t need the video footage to validate what I already knew in my spirit. Because I’ve lived it. Because I’m a Cassie too. ✖️ The Abuse That Doesn’t Leave Bruises Not all abuse shows up in black and blue. Some of it looks like luxury. Like gifts with invisible strings. Like silence in exchange for safety. Like walking on marble floors with a mind full of landmines. Some of us were taught to: mistake control for protection mistake trauma bonds for real love confuse gaslighting for guidance And when we tried to speak up? We were labeled dramatic. Unstable. Disloyal. 🏛️ The System Protects Its Own What happened to Cassie isn’t just a “celebrity problem.” It’s a systemic problem. It’s a spiritual problem. It’s what happens when: power gets licensed money...

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference?

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference? Two cases. One pattern. A system that never stopped. By The Phoenix Coach™ The short answer? Race. Media bias. And who gets the luxury of being called a victim. In 2012, the world watched George Zimmerman pursue 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through a Florida neighborhood, against the advice of 911. Trayvon, carrying Skittles and iced tea, was doing nothing more than walking home. Minutes later, he was dead. Zimmerman claimed self-defense under Florida’s “ Stand Your Ground ” law. He said Trayvon attacked him. But Trayvon couldn’t speak for himself—because he was murdered. There were no close-range witnesses. No one who could challenge Zimmerman’s narrative. And so, he walked free. Fast forward to today. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Texas—only this time, the Black teen is alive . His name is Karmelo Anthony (not the celebrity athlete, but a young man whose story is being warped by the media and weaponized by conservative outlets for clic...

Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob

  Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob How Public Systems Mirror Shell Companies to Profit Off Pain By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently™ | #TheSilentEvictionSeries They called it racketeering when Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly used a web of shell companies to silence victims, funnel money, and protect his empire. But what do you call it when the government does the same thing ? Because make no mistake— they do . And they’ve been doing it longer, better, and with far more devastating reach. 🏛️ Shell Companies 101 — And the Dirty Mirror A shell company is a business with no active operations. It exists to: - Hide ownership - Move money - Dodge taxes or responsibility - Operate in secrecy Sounds shady, right? Now look at this: Shell Company Tactic Government System Equivalent LLC with no employees Non-profit front group or subcontractor that receives federal funding Layers of ownership Third-party contractors running public housing, CPS, charter schools Money ...
