WELCOME

THANK  YOU  FOR  VISITING

THE B.O.M

BLACK  OCCUPY  MOVEMENT

BLOG  &  FUNDRAISING  CAMPAIGN

My name is Ben Wright, aka, BENTENTEN, singer, lyricist, rapper, simi-activist, and message barer of the ways of justice according to biblical correctness. At the present, I am basically working as a lone wolf, but with the release of my CD single, ‘Come Reparate Me pg1′, a vision has shown me to expect that to dramatically change. This site will become our official web address and blog, and we; I for now, will be adding many new features, bulletins and updates as The B.O.M campaign progresses. Here, is where I will,  personally, answer your questions and inquiries, post, exclusive debut songs and videos, and will be sprucing up the appearance of the site, as funds permit. So your comments and suggestions are more than welcomed.

The B.O.M movement and campaign was specifically created for the purpose of introducing to the public, a view of what The Black Occupy Movement (B.O.M) is all about. The premise of The B.O.M campaign is simple; which is to strive to have the greatest wrong, in American, and world, history, corrected by way of reparation, in a way that is unconventional but to the point, and that is by way of performing arts, musically as well as theatrically. As the saying goes, “the charm of music can soothe the  savage beast”; but coupled with theatrics, The B.O.M will be fully geared to, not only soothe, but slay the beast of injustice by way of reparation, to truly bring about justice to all.

   YOUR  HELP  NEEDED

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of  The B.O.M campaign, let me remind you that, in order for this movement to fully take shape and build into the unstoppable force it has the potential of becoming, your support will be, graciously, needed. So don’t forget to scroll on down to the bottom of the page and help to make it happen with your donation and continued patronage by getting the word out to family, friends and neighbors with a click on the available, twitter, facebook and other app buttons, to help spread the most important message to ever come along since the days of the message Christ, Himself, personally, brought to mankind, almost 2,000 years ago; this is that same message, cloaked in a movement which is The B.O.M. Some will recognize it, many will not, which ever way, The B.O.M can’t be stopped.

  INTRODUCING…

…‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′, a CD single that is also part of a 5 song, debut, EP of the same name,  written and composed 2 years ago, for this, particular, moment in time. With the occupy movements sweeping across the world, I consider this song as the fuel that will reignite the spark that the occupy movement kindled all across this country and worldwide, with a flame shooting to levels beyond containment.

My ultimate goal, with the introduction of The B.O.M and the recording of ‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′, is to convince our government, here in the US, without a shadow of doubt; why, those of my race, the Negro race, is entitled to financial retribution for the conditions we as a race have been stuck in and suffered through, from the foundation of this nation, to this very day, through no fault of our own; and; how, we, as a people, shall and should be compensated for the losses we’ve suffered and still haunted by, mentally, spiritually, economically, generation-ally,  educationally and in many other ways, that comes to surface, in the shadow of our conscience; what, will be the only acceptable form of settlement that we feel will satisfy centuries of grievances brought on by a nation whom we still feel captive of and enslaved to; who, are they that have benefited by the blood of our ancestors, spilled for the unworthiness of their captor’s lustful, rapacity in the name of prosperity.

HOW  THE  B.O.M  WORKS

The Black Occupy Movement (B.O.M) is not your typical, or conventional, protest movement. Our intention is not to, necessarily, gather in large groups, nor to bullhorn  our message in the ears of the public, who may be five blocks away, as some might expect from a group of what many will label as, radical, mobs of angry black men, which will prove to be the furthest from the truth, for the simple reason that The B.O.M was created to achieve its goals through tactics that are the complete opposite of what anyone would expect from a movement with such, nonconforming, goals.

What sets The B.O.M apart from any other movement, of its kind, is:

• The small size, in number of demonstrators needed to be as effective.

• The spontaneous aspect of, theatrical, demonstrations.

• The lack of a need to actually march or gather in masses

• An understanding of biblical prophecies, in view of, what the future holds for America.

• A valid claim to the promise, made by those, who enslaved our forefathers, of 20 acres and a mule, or the equivalent there of, plus compensation for lost of heritage.

• Our demonstrations will depict the worst violence ever, publicly, witnessed, without harming a soul

The Black Occupy Movement can be better described as, organized teams of performing art groups who will be demonstrating, by way of live performances, of what it must had been like for our ancestors to go through the hell of slavery, here in America, causing generations to lose its culture, language, identity, self-worth, heritage and  every aspect of  liberty known to human kind; with the sole purpose of setting the record straight, by confronting those who would like to cover up the truth, in avoiding any encounter relating to this, on going, issue of retribution, in connection to our lost of dignity, culture, freedom, time of prosperity, education, and a host of other, atrocious, setbacks associated with the enslavement of the Negro race, as was “legally” conducted in this country.

     BASIC  OBJECTIVES

• Governmental monetary reparation for every black American family member, residing in the U.S., including those whom are citizens of the US, living in foreign countries.

• A reparation tax on all businesses of the U.S. and those registered under US laws, operating in foreign countries.

• A reparation tax on all, non black, American citizens, domestic & international.

• Seven years exemption of all federal, city and state taxes, excluding sales tax.

•  Forgiveness of 100% of all current student loan debts, 100% of all mortgage payments, on all properties valued at $500,000 and under, and 100% of all medical bills, past and present.

• Release of all, non violent, prisoners, nationwide, and those held in international prisons, controlled by the U.S. government.

•  A 7 year education bill that mandates a full term education to kids from preschool to 12th grade at 1/4 of the, then, current tuition rate, at institutions of choice, public or private, to qualified students, and 5 years of higher education at 1/4 of the, then, current cost, for those who qualify, at an institution of choice.

             APPROACH  TO  ACHIEVE  OBJECTIVES

• Record and release a series of the debut CD single, ‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′

• Offer the CD, for air play, to every radio station, retail outlet, club, group, organization and any entity who is willing to accept and promote the single or EP.

• produce the most provocative and controversial  music video ever created, depicting the atrocities of slavery, to the single, ‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′, in short story form, for distribution, national and internationally.

• Bring together, paid volunteer actors to form various troupes, for the purpose of conducting, live, public, performances of the horrors of slavery, in short play-write form, to be conducted at various, street locations, throughout the city.

• Release a series of the song ‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′ every 3 to 4 months, containing new, eye opening messages, with the purpose of convincing the government, without a shadow of doubt that reparation is the only solution that will set give the country any hope of God blessing this nation again, and saving it from the obvious punishments He intend for us to suffer from all the innocent blood our hands have shed from nation to nation. The B.O.M‘s purpose is to hopefully try to delay the inevitable collapse of this nation

     TO  SUM  IT  UP

The Black Occupy Movement is to start with the release of a CD single and EP, followed by the release of an official video of the single, about 2 months after the release of ‘COME REPARATE ME pg1′, depending on the amount of funds raised. I will then, personally, follow up the release of the video with live performances, of the title song, at various locations throughout the city of Philadelphia, before traveling nationally, because I seriously, do not prefer traveling, but realize I, eventually will have to, as the official start of The B.O.M kicks off.

3 to 4 months after the release of ‘CRM pg1′ will come the release of Page 2, then Pg 3, and so on. The second stage of the movement will be ushered in between the release of ‘CRM pg 2 and 3‘, with the introduction of the, live, theatrical, street performances, I refer to as, slave theater,  depicting the atrocities of slavery, in half hour performances, 2 to 3 times per week or more, depending on the number of, licenses to protest, we can secure or need to work around.

This is the basic pattern that, The Black Occupy Movement, will establish until we can convince congress and law makers to come to the table and talk reparation, with the sole purpose to enact it, where no compromises will be acceptable.

                                 WHAT  WE  NEED  AND  WHAT  YOU GET

Let me first start with what you get. I don’t believe in getting something for nothing, which is why I’ve cooked up a few special ‘Thank You’ gifts, which donors will receive with every donation you make, to help fund this great and unique cause. You can check them out on the next page, titled, The B.O.M, Thank You, GIFTS  & GIVEAWAYS.

Our biggest need, to make this all happen in the most productive way, is money. It would be impossible to attach an exact dollar amount on the campaign because The B.O.M is to become an, ever expanding, movement to cover all aspects of media “entertainment”, as well as everyday, organizational operations. Though our focus is on building the foundation of this movement here in the States, just like the occupy wall street movement, The B.O.M can and will be embraced by individuals of  all nationalities, worldwide, who are facing the same degradation that the Negro race is experiencing, here in America. It’s a movement that shines the light on injustice, discrimination and  oppression everywhere.

We’re asking supporters to give what God puts in their hearts to give, and only what you can afford to give. We’re hoping for a quantity of many givers rather than the quality of donations from a few, because we are all in this one together, and will all benefit, equally; whether deservingly or undeserving; the giver as well as those who are looking to just take. The B.O.M is a movement about, true, justice, to all and for all.

Your donations will go toward financing every aspect of getting this operation up and running in the most efficient way possible; and as long as I, Ben Wright, aka, BENTENTEN, have the reigns in my hands controlling this, beast of a project, not a dime will go waisted, but all will be accounted for, and I, personally, am a very thrifty individual. Even in my recollection as a child of 9 or 10, mother loved sending me to the store, knowing I would always bring back the best quality items at the best price; and that’s exactly how I intend to use funds in building The B.O.M into a force to be reckoned with, in achieving our goals.

We’ll be looking to hire, paid, volunteers of every skill and level of professionalism who are able to make a full commitment to our cause. We’ll be needing everyone from, volunteer accountants and office staff, to, student actors and zoo keepers, seriously, animals will be involved in some of the, live, performing arts productions.

We will be posting on, this, our official blog, what positions and personnel we’ll be needing throughout the duration of this movement.

One of our biggest needs is the enthusiasm of our supporters who are willing and able to get the word out about The B.O.M campaign and our fundraising efforts.
