Why can't people discuss race in a productive manner?
Apparently it is impossible for many of you here to present an argument without first erecting a strawman to pin it on. I am an educated, and successful person. And on this count, I am not unique among the minority community. With the encouragement of my parents, I have been a student of Indigenous and Black History since before the age of puberty. I am obviously articulate, I have succeeded as a professional musician, which is a very challenging occupation, I have traveled around the world , and I have enjoyed the attention of many beautiful women, as well as many women who were not so beautiful, but also deserving of good company. Recognizing the evil of systemic racism has improved my self-esteem, as I can hold my head up, knowing that I have not made a fool of myself, or dishonored my ancestors by embracing an evil empire. Understanding the evil of America has only made me stronger, and more determined to free all men, white and black, from mental slavery. Because once the mind is free, the rest is sure to follow.
As I have already commented earlier, evil does not come to men of goodwill as a matter of karmic debt, but evil comes of it's own accord. The African and the Indigenous do not magically manifest racism simply through the remembrance of an old misery. Nor do they manifest racism by shouting it from the rooftops. Such a nonsensical belief is itself a racist notion. You have attempted to equate an existential personal trauma with the effects of systemic racism. It really doesn't matter how someone feels about themselves, how much love they have in their heart, or how intelligent and motivated they are. If they are living in a racist society, it is that society which determines the flow of money, where the person shall live, and the frequency and severity of mental and physical abuse.
Racism is Satanic in origin, and is manifested from the heart of white America. And racism continues to be perpetuated by white Americans against both the African and the Indigenous. It is the white man who continues to suffer from this disease, which is why I have brought the medicine here. But their are many today who are sowing the seeds of deception in an attempt to perpetuate the racist myth that the darker races are weak minded, unable to overcome the past, and unable to compete with the "superior" white race. But in this thread I have continued to expose this fallacy.
Not one of my opponents have been able to provide an intelligent argument to refute the truth I have so generously, and without appropriate compensation, delivered. Oh Yes! They are quite adept when it comes to hurling insults in my direction. But their rebuttals, are filled with strawmen, and the predictable racist perspectives that have been making the rounds for many years. And now I see you have entered the fray as the "voice of reason" ... with your "scientific proof". Your commentary reminds of a man who is suffering from a heart attack being told how he can improve his condition by switching to Crest, and brushing his teeth after every meal! For $500.00, I'll take: Is there a place the sun doesn't shine?
Thank you, Credence2~
I'm posting this in response to a common racist myth that black people "just can't make it, but everybody else can". Historically, black people have been disproportionately in the lower income brackets simply because of institutionalized racism. The Irish, the Chinese, and no other group, save for the First Nations, has ever been discriminated against more than black people.
In the mind of the white mainstream, the media has served to make the black experience synonymous with the inner city ghetto. But in reality, that is only one aspect of the black experience. I grew up in a farming community in the mid-west. A great majority of the black people there were farmers. Others worked in factories, or meat packing plants. I knew very few black families who were poor. I had black relatives who were farmers. Most of them lived in nice houses surrounded by acres and acres of farm land. I remember going to black churches as a child. Bethel AME, and a Church of God In Christ. The parking lots of the churches were always filled with shiny new cars, and it was rare to see anyone pull up in a junker.
The latter church was always packed, and sometimes it got so loud the church would start to vibrate, as if it was a rocket on a launching pad about to take off. It was a wonderful experience for a child, because I was fascinated with music and rhythm at an early age. Many of the black farmers listened to country music as much as they listened to Marvin Gaye. And except for the color of their skin, it was hard to distinguish some of them from the rednecks. The point is, the stereotypes of black people that have been promoted in the media have permeated the consciousness of the white mainstream, and have created the myth that "black people just can't make it".
My experience reveals just the opposite. I understand that when doors are opened, black people can do as well, if not better than anyone else. I am reminded of an old James Brown song: "I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Open up the door, I'll get it myself!" Furthermore, there are more poor white people in the United States than any other race. Why can't they make it? The answer is very simple. Many people, white and black, can't make it because the system we are living in is not designed that way. In a Capitalist system there will always be haves and have nots. If everybody was rich, then nobody would be rich, and the pyramid would fall down. It is an evil system that needs to be replaced. I have met very few poor people, black or white, who were lazy and simply didn't want to work. That is another myth. Poor people don't want to be poor. The very notion is absurd.
Here are just a few examples of affluent black communities that we never hear about in the mainstream media:
•In Union Dale, a suburb of New York City, the average family income is $76,553.According to the 2000 census, the population was 23,011, consisting of 55.53% African American / Latino 22.86%
•In Friendly Maryland the average family income is $82,827.According to the 2000 census, the population was 10,938, consisting of 77.67% African American
•In Woodmore Maryland the average family income is $103,438. According to the 2000 census, the population was 6,077, consisting 64.9% African American.
•In Ladera Heights California the average family income is $132,824. According to the 2010 census, the population was 6,498, consisting 73.7% African American.
As far as Clarence Thomas ,Ben Carson, and Obama are concerned, the point you are trying to make is ridiculous. So what? They are successful black men. I could also cite three very successful white men like Donald Trump and say: "Well, Donald Trump made it, why can't all the poor white people make it too? But there is another element involved as well. Not only do poor black people have to deal with the same realities as poor whites, they also have to deal with systemic racism. And so, the burden becomes more than twice as heavy. Economic parity for many black people simply hasn't been allowed, and that is why there is a disproportionate number of poor black people in the inner cities. It certainly has nothing to do with talent or motivation. As the men you mentioned, many great black entertainers and sports figures, and many great black writers and scientists have revealed, whenever the door is opened, black people excel.
I have been a professional musician for many years, and I am not black. I am Aniyunwiya/German. I am very good at what I do, and with the luck of the draw I could be famous yesterday. But some of the best musicians I have ever played with were black. When I began learning the guitar I studied the black bluesmen. They were my mentors. The first real band I played in was a black Disco band in Hawaii. I got fired after the second gig because I couldn't keep up! And I was glad they fired me because I was not ready. I do not get angry when people excel, or if they are more talented than I. It only makes me try harder. But many whites are afraid of the black man taking over, because the black man is not inferior in any way, shape, or form. And neither are my people. And that's what this racism is all about. It is about fear of losing control. But such fear is quite ironic, because all men came from the original black man. The black man is the original source of all human life. And so, we can see the white racist trying to run; trying to hide from an inescapable truth. Today it appears that all of the chickens are coming home to roost.
If you truly want to know the answer to these questions , and more, you are in luck. I suggest you read "Darkwater: Voices from within the Veil" by W.E.B. Dubois. It would also help to watch many of the videos posted on YouTube of the Honorable Reverend Louis Farrakhan.
If you are an educated person then I see you have wasted your money. Like so many here, you are quick to slander, but you have no originality. If rape, murder, thievery, and genocide are not evil, then please explain to the world why they are not. If the Europeans who perpetrated these crimes against humanity were not evil, then what should we call them? Good 'ol boys? And since a majority of white Americans continue to celebrate this evil legacy with holidays and parades, I would challenge anyone to justify it. But you cannot justify it. It doesn't matter what the African did to the African, or what the Indigenous did to the Indigenous before the squatters came. You can save that hillbilly wisdom for your local watering hole.
The African did not come here to enslave,rape, dispossess, and murder my people. Neither did the Vietnamese, the North Koreans or the Iraqis. And there was no single Indigenous nation that covered the entire continent like a swarm of hungry locusts devouring everything in sight. It was the European. You do not like that I call a spade a spade because it is not politically correct. But I have no more concern for your frail sensibilities than you do for the slaughter of over 100 million of my people, the enslavement of the African, or the U.S. proxy war that has killed thousands of children in Syria. All you can do is slander like a school yard bully. But guess what my friend, I am not going away.You have nothing of worth to offer, and nothing to say, and so you have come once again to remind us.
Wrench-bisket , How well you have used the race card over the last couple of years , How often it has been thrown down by you to defend the failed culture of your people . Instead of even beginning to explain the real cause or cure of the diseased nature of your own people , instead of posting one image of the absolute failure of Native Americans , Pine Ridge for example , or the native populations of the northwest , You continue to blame someone who lived three or four hundred years ago. You really need to get around more though , your people are their own worst enemy on the Rez . Number one cause -- Fatherless homes . Welcome to the blame - game -rodeo , Wrench-bisket !
Want a cure , really - get to work cleaning up your own house !
And so, since you have used this same derogatory approach many times before, I see it is your weapon of choice. The Lakota are among the bravest of warriors, and they were one of the last group of human beings on this continent to fight against this evil empire. I have nothing but respect for the Lakota, and the people of Pine Ridge. Apparently they are not so failed since they have recently successfully halted the Keystone XL pipeline. Some of these great warriors have commented: "Dead or in Prison Before We Allow the KXL Pipeline". And I stand in solidarity with them.
It is better to die standing on your feet than crawling on your knees. My mother and father were also great warriors. They armed themselves, and on several occasions fired upon groups of white racist cowards who sought to intimidate and remove them from our beautiful 200 acre farm during the 1950's. As I grew older, I realized that many of these racists were poor, lived in rusty trailers, slept with their sisters and daughters, and spent most of their free time at the local taverns. I grew up with plenty of love, education, and money, as my parents made sure of that. Your version of the Indigenous peoples of this continent is what came out of a Cracker Jack box, as it is clear you have not educated yourself concerning American History. And I am not doing so bad either. Anyone can see that I am more educated,creative, and articulate, than those who only seek to slander and ridicule. I was born in the lap of luxury, but even if I should die a pauper, I will still possess more than the evil and arrogant men who journey through this world clueless, and without a soul. My weapon of choice is truth and knowledge. This is why I do not attack the character of my adversaries as much, or as viciously as they attack mine. I do not need to, as their ignorance speaks for itself.
Cleaning up my own house? I am glad you mentioned that. That is exactly what I am doing here. I am kicking the dust off of my heels. I am part of a growing movement among African, Indigenous, and Mixed Blood people. We are moving and active in many directions, and we are united in solidarity. The imaginary, stereotypical images that you carry around in your head of poor drunken "Indians", the ghetto black, or the "good Negro" who tap dances, waves Old Glory,and sings a rousing rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" will be your downfall. The white man likes to talk about how he brought the gift of "free speech" into the New World. And so, here I am enjoying all of that free speech that the good white man has bestowed upon me. Hold on, because the best is yet to come! Hafa Adai!
You say that bringing up the oppression of the African is causing more unrest, but I fear you don't know the half of it. What's causing even more unrest is American hypocrisy. You say you don't want to hear about slavery. Well guess what? I don't either, but every time I look at a one dollar bill I see a slave owner, and it bothers me. When I look at the Statue of Liberty it also bothers me, and creates unrest in my soul. When I see the Statue of Liberty I see Invaders coming to this continent; uninvited aliens killing my people any way that they could; killing them with the biological weapon of smallpox, raping the women, burning my ancestors alive, and stealing the land, the resources, and the riches of an entire continent.
And as the Americans were completing their masterpiece of genocide, they erected a grotesque statue to invite the whole world to come and plunder what was left. When I look at Mt Rushmore I get the same feeling. I get the same feeling on Columbus Day, and the 4th of July. But the Americans keep shoving the past in my face with their statues, their holidays, their currency and their traditions. Michelle Obama only made one speech and it caused a great stir. But what I have just described is continuous and non-stop; from the day I was born unto this very moment. So yes, I can relate to your frustration ... x one million.
But many Americans do not recognize my people as being significant. They view the Indigenous and the African as two different races of people struggling to make it in a white world; trying to become as white as we can on the inside. Yes, that is true for some, but there are many now who are starting to reclaim their heritage, and to remember who they are, and who they are not. The people are being educated, de-programmed, and de-colonized. Soon the Americans will have a choice to make. They can choose to stay here and live in a truly multi-cultural society, or they can go back to Europa, and create a new American Dream. I will not stand in their way.
The people who are saying Obama has been dividing the nation are either very racist, or simply aren't very educated. The president of the United States answers to the ruling elite. For instance: Abraham Lincoln rebuked the bankers who wanted to finance the Civil War at a high interest rate; a move that would have given them complete control, and enslaved the populace to an enormous debt; creating a system similar to the current Federal Reserve. As a result, Lincoln was assassinated. John Kennedy was also going after the Federal Reserve, and threatening their supremacy which had existed since 1913. He also was assassinated. I am certain that if Obama seriously challenged the status quo he would end up dead, just like Kennedy and Lincoln.
It is remarkable that people are saying that Obama has created a racial divide, since many black people feel he hasn't done enough to address racial inequality. People try to simplify politics, and the machinations of world governments, and it is much more complicated than that. We really can't point to one source, such as Obama, and suggest that he is the mastermind behind a racial divide that has existed for over 500 years! That is simply absurd. The FBI released a report in 2006 that the Ku Klux Klan had infiltrated police departments across the United States. That was ten years ago. I think we can agree that their goal wasn't simply to issue parking tickets! Their goal has always been to disrupt and to destroy the black community.
By infiltrating police departments the Klan has been able to attack the black community on several fronts. They have been able to insure a steady flow of narcotics and other illicit drugs into the inner cities. Of course this serves a four-fold purpose: it cripples the black community through drug addiction, increases the prison population which brings in big revenue for the state, increases revenue for the Klan, and encourages a negative racial stereotype among the mainstream.They can also use their influence to incite violence among rival gangs. This helps to demoralize the black community, as well as providing more fodder for the "prison for profit" system. The people who are accusing Obama and Black Lives Matter of increasing racial tension aren't even considering this angle. But when we consider the history of the Klan, along with the FBI report, and a little common sense, we arrive at a conclusion that is far more tangible than a conspiracy theory.
During the Jim Crow era the Klan operated more overtly. Today, they engage in more covert operations. Rather than directly attack the black community, they attack by proxy. This is a far more effective and comprehensive approach. By using their influence in Law Enforcement and other areas of government, they are able to manipulate the black community of the inner city and create the false impression that the puppet is the sole perpetrator, and that the oppressed are the violent aggressors. Many of the comments here reveal that this approach has been very effective.
No Kathryn, my blood is not the same color red. My blood is not tainted with greed, indifference, and genocide. Nor do I subscribe to the popular notion that we all have the same creator. That is just another Eurocentric concept that has poisoned the minds of the people.
Obviously you missed the point entirely. I was responding to someone who was bemoaning the fact that Michelle Obama was bringing up the past with her comment; a past that they felt should not be mentioned. But it is always a one way street in this respect with many Americans. They don't want us to speak of the atrocities, and the evil committed by their ancestors, and if we do they accuse us of dwelling on the past. But they, on the other hand, freely dwell on the past when they celebrate holidays like Columbus Day, and the 4th of July. But what they do is even worse, because they are glorifying evil, and ignoring the humanity of the First Nations, and the African slaves.
They bring up the past by putting faces of tyrants and slave owners on currency, and by erecting monuments that glorify an evil past. But the descendants of the European Invaders cannot have it both ways. And we will remind them at every turn, as we are exercising our freedom of speech; not a freedom of speech granted by a slave master, but the freedom of speech bestowed upon us by "our" God, and "our" creator. It is the same freedom of speech my ancestors enjoyed prior to 1492.
But when we look to the Middle East we see that the past is not behind us. The same Imperialist aggression that stole an entire continent and named it America is at work today in the Middle East. Innocent men, women, and children are dying because of the greedy Americans and their evil allies who will stop at nothing less than world domination. And now they are about to start World War III by defying Russia's warnings, and by placing their weapons of mass destruction on her doorstep. And this is the side that you are rooting for?
Your veiled threats are laughable. But of course, I am sure that such a brave man as yourself would speak your mind anywhere. I'm sure that you would have no problem speaking at a rally for the supporters of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, or Black Lives Matter. I am also sure that you would cheerfully stand in front of 500 members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and explain to them why they all have a "victim mentality", and why they should step up to the plate and go with the flow of Colonialism.
The atrocities of Columbus are well illustrated in the written account of Bartolome de las Casas entitled: A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies and Historia de Las Indias:
English Version: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/203 … mages.html
Spanish Version: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/49298/4 … 9298-h.htm
The journal of Columbus also illustrates his evil intent, and the excerpt in the image I provided here is from his journal. I learned the following by the time I was in the 5th grade: The Caribbean (also known as the West Indies) is a region of the Americas consisting of the Caribbean Sea, its islands, and the surrounding coasts. The region is located southeast of North America, east of Central America, and to the northwest of South America.
And apparently the New World Encyclopedia knows it too, as the preceding excerpt is from their page. So it appears that Columbus did set foot on American soil.
Furthermore, it would be quite ridiculous of the nations of North and South America to celebrate a man credited with the "discovery of America" when he never set foot on American soil! It appears that you are under the false impression that the only "Americans" on this side of the world are from the United States. But anyone living on this continent, whether it be the U.S. Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, or Argentina is considered an American. Gee Archie! Imagine that. There is actually a communist nation in America, replete with American citizens who are communists!
But you are right about one thing, Slavery was not an American invention. Slavery preceded the Roman Empire. However, the slavery that existed on the continent of America after the Invasion of 1492 was originally promoted and sanctioned by the Catholic Church, under the direction of Pope Nicholas V, who issued the papal bull "Dum Diversas" in 1452. This document authorized Afonso V of Portugal to conquer Saracens and pagans and consign them to "perpetual servitude". This is the evil work that planted the seeds of racism which had not previoulsy existed in the world, and which later led to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. The Dum Diversas mitigated the evils of slavery in the minds of many Christian peasants; an ignorant mass of humanity who were led to believe through this evil document that it was the duty of the European Christian to enslave and dispossess all non-Christians, and that it was Gods will for them to do so. This is the mindset that later led to the concept of Manifest Destiny.
Yes, slavery did not begin in America, and neither did rape and murder. And so I suggest that the next time someone is accused of rape or murder that you should stand in their defense! You should inform the judge and jury that rape and murder did not begin in America, and that the accused was only doing what millions of men had done before him, since the beginning of time. You could also admonish his accusers to stop whining. People are raped and murdered every day, and these "victims" should get over it, and stop living in the past. Right?
Black Lives Matter, A.I.M., the Mexica Movment, and many other educational, and activist organizations, are proof that we have not "faded into the woodwork". In fact, we are in the processes of "replacing the woodwork" with a design that is far more appealing.
Slaves and land were the main forms of wealth in the US before 1860. The most profitable activity on Wall Street was the slave trade. You have a talent for building strawmen, and creating amazing fiction. Your suggestion that a white, dirt poor potato farmer in Idaho, or an inbred hillbilly in Appalachia would be responsible for reparations is laughable, but very convincing to the uneducated. Here I have provided a "short list" of American companies that created fortunes through the slave trade. These are first parties, and the descendants of those slaves are also the first parties. And there can be no argument.
Believe it or not, African slaves were also human beings. It is not uncommon for parents, grand parents, and great grand parents, to provide for the future of their children,and successive generations. Everyone knows this to be true. Consequently, it is not unreasonable to expect that African slaves would have desired that their descendants would someday benefit from their forced, and inhumane servitude. A horror that lasted nearly 400 years! Saying "We're Sorry!" or handing out welfare checks simply isn't enough. Reparations must not only be delivered as a single payment of cash, but also in the form of guaranteed job opportunities and economic parity. The companies I have listed here are the ones who are obligated more than anyone else to pay reparations, as they, and all of those along the gravy train, are the ones who have benefited most from a crime against humanity. They have the means to pay, and it would be in their best interest to start paying A.S.A.P.. The recent mantra of the righteous: "No Justice No Peace" is not exclusively tied to police brutality.
Short List of American Companies Who Must Pay Reparations
AIG – bought American General Financial which owns US Life Insurance Company. US Life used to insure the lives of slaves.
Aetna – insured the lives of slaves in the 1850s.
Bank of America – grew in part out of the Bank of Metropolis, which accepted slaves as collateral.
Brooks Brothers – got its start making clothes for slaves!
Brown Brothers Harriman – a Wall Street bank that owned hundreds of slaves and lent millions to Southern planters, merchants and cotton traders.
Brown University – named for the Brown brothers who gave money to the university. Two were slave traders, another ran a factory that used slave-grown cotton. University Hall was built in part by slave labour.
CSX – rented slaves to build rail lines.
Fleet Boston – grew out of Providence Bank, founded by one of the Brown brothers (see Brown University above), a slave trader who owned slave ships. The bank made money from the slave trade. Providence, Rhode Island was the home port for many slave ships.
Harvard Law School – endowed with money from Isaac Royall, an Antiguan slave owner and sugar grower.
JP Morgan Chase – made a fortune from the slave trade. Predecessor banks (Citizens Bank, Canal Bank in Louisiana) accepted slaves as collateral, taking possession of 1,250 slaves from owners who defaulted on loans.
New York Life – insured slaves. Of its first 1,000 insurance polices, 339 were policies on slaves.
Norfolk Southern – the Mobile & Girard, now part of Norfolk Southern, rented slaves to work on the railroad. Central of Georgia, also now part of the company, owned slaves.
Princeton – raised money and recruited students from rich, slave-owning families in the South and the Caribbean. Princeton was not alone in hitting up slave owners and traders for money and students. So did:
Harvard,
Yale,
Penn,
Columbia,
Rutgers,
Brown,
Dartmouth and the
University of Delaware.
By the middle 1700s, most Princeton students were the sons of slave owners. Many of Columbia’s students were sons of slave traders.
Tiffany’s – founded with profits from a cotton mill in Connecticut that processed slave-grown cotton.
USA Today – its parent company, Gannett, had links to slavery.
Wells Fargo – Georgia Railroad & Banking Company and the Bank of Charleston owned or accepted slaves as collateral. They later became part of Wells Fargo by way of Wachovia. (In the 2000s Wells Fargo targeted blacks for predatory lending.)
A Racist Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
I am more human than human. If I got any more "real" I wouldn't be able to keep my feet on the ground, as I would no longer be bound by the laws of gravity. Read, Learn, Comprehend, and behold the beauty of the truth!
There is no need in looking for a cure for heart disease. The American Heart Association is simply wasting time and money. Why? Because people are dying of cancer. Whey should we care about heart disease when people are dying of cancer? And there is no need in seeking a cure for cancer because people are dying of diabetes. Why should we waste our time trying to cure heart disease and cancer when people are dying of diabetes? And seeking a cure for diabetes is a waste of time because people are suffering from alzheimers disease. And seeking a cure for alzheimers is a waste of time, not only because of all of the aboce, but also because over 40,000 people die in the United States each year as the result of MVC's. And there is no need in preventing MVC's because people are going to die anyway. So there is really no point in worrying about the prevention of disease, or fatal accidents. The only two things we need to worry about are Paying Taxes, and Funeral Arrangements.
•Paying taxes: Paying taxes is of the utmost importance. Without taxes, the racist government of the United States couldn't fund the proxy war in Syria, or arm terrorist groups like ISIS. Without perpetual war, the rich could not get richer. And in order to have perpetual war, it is necessary to create terrorist organizations to justify the war.
• Funeral Arrangements: It is important to take care of our funeral arrangements well in advance. Otherwise, our racist relatives, and our racist loved ones, will have to fight over who has to pay funeral expenses with their share of the inheritance.
Social Engineering of Black Americans.
Even today in our "enlightened" society, many women fear to come forward and report rape and sexual abuse. This is because they don't want to suffer the added humility of having their private life unfairly scrutinized in public, or to be portrayed as someone who was "asking for it". And who would believe the victim who created her own misery? Considering this unfortunate fact of life that predates racism, it serves no good purpose to highlight the spurious notion that in order to minimize the possibility of sexual abuse a woman should dress modestly, or never walk alone at night. First of all, it is nothing less than an outrage to suggest that in a civilized society a potential victim must modify their behavior in order to accommodate the potential perpetrator. Furthermore, it is well known that a majority of sexual abuse is perpetrated by a known assailant, such as a boyfriend, spouse, relative, or casual acquaintance.
Suggesting band-aid solutions is not only demeaning to women, but also serves to perpetuate the problem of sexual violence. And we can see the same evil at work when considering racism in America. Highlighting the obvious as a "smoking gun" serves no other purpose than to further a racist narrative. And that narrative would have us believe that blacks are disproportionately incarcerated, unemployed, and living below the poverty line because of intellectual inferiority, and a general lack of morality and motivation. In the racist mind, these alleged inherent traits are what leads to fatherless families, drug addiction, gang violence, and poverty.
Many white Americans are comfortable with this wonderful fiction because it helps to support their idealistic and racist interpretation of the American Dream. But the truth is not so pleasant to look at.
Read • Comprehend • Learn:
There are three distinct groups here in the United States that have created a perpetual wheel of poverty and crime for blacks living in the inner city. The first group are the white racists who believe it is the destiny of the white race to rule the world. The second, and much larger group, are the white Americans who have, since before the Civil War, suffered from an apathetic "go along to get along" attitude. This is the "We Are The World", "Don't Worry Be Happy"crowd. Last but not least, the third group are the black people who are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. This group consists of those whose minds have been successfully colonized, and who are otherwise known as "Uncle Toms".
The only thing I find remarkable about Donald Trump's brand of racism is that, unlike the "real" politicians, he has expressed more of his true feelings about minorities in public. And so, I will give him an "A" for honesty, but no dinner invitation, and that courtesy extends to you as well.
I have forgotten no group because there is no other groups responsible for the problems of the inner city. Here you come yet again with your strawman! If the so-called fourth group is against racism, then this group is not part of the problem. Thus, there is no reason to include this group with the other three. But if this is the largest group, as you suggest, then they are also members of the second group. If this imaginary "largest group of all" were not an apathetic majority, then the problem of inner city poverty and violence would not exist now, yesterday, or tomorrow.
And it is quite evident that you and others have vigorously sought to peddle the fiction that I have suggested all whites are racists. I have made it very clear that my views on racism are not formed through some ridiculous notion like Manifest Destiny, but are based on my personal experience, as well as the historical record. When the evil that a man has experienced and endured in his own life corresponds with the evil of the 500 years that preceded him, he can only bear witness to the truth. And this is truth: A majority of the European Invaders and squatters who came here uninvited were either racist, or apathetic toward the plight of the Indigenous and the African slaves. The historical record clearly shows that this racism and apathy has continued with the majority through each successive generation.
There are many examples of this. But one of the most obvious, yet overlooked examples of racism in the United States concerns the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II. People seldom ask why German Americans were not also placed in the Konzentrationslagers. Prior to World War II, the U.S. had not engaged in a major conflict with Japan. However, the U.S. and Germany had previously fought against each other in World War I. Furthermore, German saboteurs blew up a major munitions depot on Black Tom Island in Jersey City in July 1916. And so we can clearly see that prior to WWII, the Germans had not only killed thousands of U.S. soldiers, but they had also committed acts of terrorism on U.S. soil. And so we must consider the following:
• Hitler was perceived by many to be the greater threat to world peace.
• The Germans had a recent history of violence and aggression against the United States.
• There were far more German Americans living in the U.S. than Japanese Americans.
When we consider these three important facts we can only conclude that German Americans posed a far greater threat to national security than Japanese Americans. But the fact that German Americans were not placed in Konzentrationslagers can only mean one thing. And that one thing is RACISM, because German Americans were also "white people". A majority of Americans have never given this issue a second thought. And that is because the "largest group" you have referred to is actually the second group that I have already identified. This group is defined by it's general apathy toward social issues that do not directly concern them, as well as an addiction to materialism.
Your admonition that I should become part of the "solution" is laughable. Only a fool would seek to appease the cancer that eats at his flesh and can only bring him to ruin. A reasonable man will seek to cut out the cancer, to destroy it, and to render it less than a memory. I am a reasonable man.
Because the discussion is not about Trump: it's about why race problems can't be discussed reasonably...when a member of the discussion suddenly goes off on a rant about how Trump is a liar. He is, plus often mistaken, but that doesn't have anything to do with the question of racial problems.

(About the only I trust Trump for is to be the least effective President, ever, if elected.

Diane, you missed the whole point of the post, continuing to devote at least half of this post in demonizing Trump instead of discussing the racial issue. That's what I was talking about, not specifically whatever it is that Trump said.
You took his "you live in poverty" and tried to say it isn't true and he lies while double the black population is in poverty compared to the average for the country. This isn't talking about racial issues - it's demonizing a candidate.
Same thing with jobs - instead of addressing a very real issue that Trump brought, albeit with a gross exaggeration - you chose to state that youth figures aren't available, that they don't matter anyway. This isn't talking about a very real racial problem, either - it's about throwing mud at a candidate.
I'll repeat - when a discussion of racial problems degenerates into throwing mud in a presidential election the race issue fades into the background and is forgotten. It makes it really, really hard to talk about the real issue of racial discrimination and problems.
Most of this thread, better than most anyway, has stayed on topic about racial problems and discrimination. Yet here is the OP, off on a tangent of dislike for a presidential candidate instead of talking about race. Stay on track, girl!
Here is another document I suggest you will find interesting. The atrocities of Columbus and the evil Europeans are well documented in this famous historical document: "A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies, by Bartolome de las Casas". This should be required reading for all high school students. The fact that Columbus Day is celebrated throughout the United States, in spite of the fact that this miscreant made Ted Bundy look like a misunderstood choir boy, is only further testament to the evil heart of America. It is an outrage that many uneducated Americans will admonish the Indigenous and the African to forget the past. Yet, each year they continue to glorify murder, rape, torture, and thievry on Columbus Day. http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/203 … mages.html
Excerpt from "A Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indies":
"... Which the Spaniards no sooner perceived, but they, mounted on generous Steeds, well weapon'd with Lances and Swords, begin to exercise their bloody Butcheries and Strategems, and overrunning their Cities and Towns, spar'd no Age, or Sex, nay not so much as Women with Child, but ripping up their Bellies, tore them alive in pieces. They laid Wagers among themselves, who should with a Sword at one blow cut, or divide a Man in two; or which of them should decollate or behead a Man, with the greatest dexterity; nay farther, which should sheath his Sword in the Bowels of a Man with the quickest dispatch and expedition.
They snatcht young Babes from the Mothers Breasts, and then dasht out the brains of those innocents against the Rocks; others they cast into Rivers scoffing and jeering them, and call'd upon their Bodies when falling with derision, the true testimony of their Cruelty, to come to them, and inhumanely exposing others to their Merciless Swords, together with the Mothers that gave them Life.
They erected certain Gibbets, large, but low made, so that their feet almost reacht the ground, every one of which was so order'd as to bear Thirteen Persons in Honour and Reverence (as they said blasphemously) of our Redeemer and his Twelve Apostles, under which they made a Fire to burn them to Ashes whilst hanging on them: But those they intended to preserve alive, they dismiss'd, their Hands half cut, and still hanging by the Skin, to carry their Letters missive to those that fly from us and ly sculking on the Mountains, as an exprobation of their flight.
The Lords and Persons of Noble Extract were usually expos'd to this kind of Death; they order'd Gridirons to be placed and supported with wooden Forks, and putting a small Fire under them, these miserable Wretches by degrees and with loud Shreiks and exquisite Torments, at last Expir'd....."
The lyrics to "America The Beautiful" were written by Katherine Lee Bates, a 33 year old white school teacher in 1893. Bates was born in March 1859, and was only 5 years old when the Sand Creek Massacre occurred. When the massacre at Wounded Knee took place in December of 1890, she was 31 years old. Being a school teacher and well traveled, it is difficult to believe that she was unaware of these crimes against humanity. And it is also hard to believe that she was unaware of Jim Crow. The lynching of black people throughout the United States peaked in 1892. With the trees throughout the south bearing this Strange Fruit throughout her entire adult life, we cannot imagine that she was also unaware of these horrendous crimes that were given so much publicity. Many of these lynchings were treated as a sick spectator sport, and tens of thousands of "good white folk" showed up to enjoy the spectacle of men and women being tortured, burned alive, and hung up by their necks. The teenager Henry Smith was lynched in Paris Texas in February 1893. Bates wrote the lyrics to "America The Beautiful" in the summer of 1893. The Smith lynching was publicized nationwide, and covered by the New York Times. It has been estimated as many as 15,000 people, mostly white, showed up to "enjoy" the spectacle.
But in spite of all of this evil that was taking place throughout her life, Katherine Bates chose to ignore the humanity of the Indigenous and the African, and instead focused on the "bright side of life", which of course is the "white side of life". And so, the song "America the Beautiful" is another perverse glorification of American racism , hypocrisy. and indifference. And she was not unlike many white Americans today who simply ignore the evil around them, while innocent people continue to suffer.Okay, oKAY, OKAY, you have eloquently elucidated in depth what was negative about American culture, society, & civilization. Now please elucidate what is great, glorious, & right about American culture, society & civilization. There are MANY great, glorious, & right aspects about American culture, society, & civilization. While there are some negative points about American culture, society, & civilization, there are MORE POSITIVE aspects regarding American culture, society, & civilization than there are....negative........Be thankful that you're .....AN AMERICAN, WB!!!!
Two Great Things About America
It appears that you are a true patriot! Often, when people express such a sentiment they are thinking of the so-called " material benefits" of living in the United States as opposed to various Third World Countries. And bundled with those material benefits is a perceived higher standard of living. But it appears we are using a different measuring stick, and the twain shall never meet. There are two things that are great about America, and American culture.
The First Great Thing About America:
Just like all things, America will end one day, and so too the suffering of mankind. On that day the whole world will rejoice, as we will no longer suffer the aspirations of Kings, Queens, Nobility, and an Imperialist Democratic Republic bent on world domination.
The Second Great Thing About America:
If I die before these changes come, America cannot follow me there. For an evil heart cannot dwell in the light of Love, but only where it can be hidden behind flesh and bone.
And these are the things I am thankful for when I think of America. When I think of my freedom, I think of God. It is only God who has created me, given me free will, and thus rendered a free man. When I think of my talents, it is also God who has bestowed these upon me. But when I think of Love, I understand that Love is the greatest blessing of all. On the day I was born my fate was cast to the four winds. But before my feet could hit the ground, the Love of God was manifested in the spirit of those who were to become my Mother and Father.
We need only look toward Syria, Palestine, or Flint Michigan, to understand that there is much work to be done. The glorification of the evil that set these events in motion is only a giant step backwards. Consumerism,and my "standard of living", are not worth so much suffering.
wrenchBiscuit Destroys The Myth of Black on Black Crime
The answer is no. I grew up on a beautiful 200 acre farm amidst a sea of white racists. My parents were active in the Civil Rights Movement. I didn't set foot on a reservation until after serving 6 years in the military. I realize that many are offended when I tell the truth, but many of the people I grew up around were racist, and they just happened to be white. And so there is no other way to describe it, other than to say nothing at all, which is what many would prefer. Apparently it is the adjective they find most offensive.
But they should take their own advice and "get over it", and start dealing with the truth about America. They need to stop telling lies to their children. And when they are not telling a lie, their revisionist recollections have conveniently omitted many of the details that would shatter the myth of good Christian folk coming to America to flee religious persecution and to seek a better life. Yes, many were seeking a better life, but at the expense of those who were here before them, as well as the African slaves they depended on, as many of the evil Invaders were too lazy to do the work themselves.
You mention Black on Black violence, and I noticed you mentioned it in another comment as well. Black on Black violence is another myth that is being promoted by the white racists. Of course, because you grew up in the ghetto witnessing Black on Black crime, you may want to disagree with my argument. But my argument is very easy to verify. Yes, if you say you witnessed Black on Black crime in the ghetto, then I believe that this is true. And so, you might ask: How can Black on Black crime be true,but also be a myth? Please, I will tell you. It is true because it has happened, and because it continues to happen. But the "narrative" of Black on Black violence is the mythological aspect we need to address. Why? Because anyone who lives in a white ghetto will also notice a higher incidence of white on white crime than if they were living in a mixed neighborhood well above the poverty level. And it should come as no big surprise, and neither does it mean that poor white people are inherently violent. It simply means that people are more likely to abuse those who are nearest to them; people living in their own communities. This is common all over the world. If you would go to Bangkok you would find a higher incidence of Thai on Thai violence. And for over 800 years the Irish have suffered the white on white violence of their English oppressors.
But the white racist here in America has recently attempted to paint the black man living in the ghetto as unique among the other races, as if Black on Black crime is just another example of an inferior, aggressive, and violent race of people. It's the same old tired rhetoric that the racists have been using since the antebellum, but only with a new coat of paint. And such violence is not necessarily limited to people living at the poverty level. The redneck farm community I grew up in was, of course, predominantly white. There were relatively only a handful of Black people, and my people had been murdered, or removed from the landscape many years previous. There was not a great amount of poverty as you may have experienced. However, as you might guess, most of the violence was white on white violence. And there were some horrendous crimes that occurred while I was in high school. Also, a majority of the drugs were being sold by white drug dealers to white customers.
Furthermore, as I have indicated, crime occurs even in the best of neighborhoods, but it only makes sense that a greater number of poor people concentrated in a small area are going to witness a higher crime rate. And this happens for various reasons. One often overlooked reason for crime in the inner cities is exploitation, or opportunism. And we need look no further than the police. The FBI warned in 2006 that the KKK had infiltrated police departments across the country. And of course, we know why. It provides them with the opportunity to make lots of money, while perpetuating the misery of the inner city. This is done by facilitating the sale of narcotics, as well as instigating violence and turf wars among various gangs.
Over a thousand posts on this thread and you come in with that now?
We could have saved so much time and trouble if you'd just piped in sooner.
No, I strongly disagree with your friend, and so does the FBI. The FBI released a report in 2006 warning that police departments across the U.S. had been infiltrated by the KKK. Also, recently the hacker group Anonymous announced it was releasing the names of police officers throughout the U.S. who were members of the KLAN. These people are not common bigots. They have an agenda, and that agenda is to destroy the black race in America. They have made no secret of this over the years, and they have become very sophisticated in their methods. Let us not be deceived simply because we do not see them burning crosses everyday.
Furthermore, Planned Parenthood, was founded by a racist witch named Margaret Sanger. Look at what the Americans did to my people. They murdered 100 million. They purposely reduced our numbers so that we would no longer be a threat. This is their plan for the black race here in the United States. And this has always been the plan of the white racists.
According to blackgenocide.org:
"Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?"
Here are some more of her quotes:
"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
"We should apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring."
"We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
People who suggest that abortion is a choice are the same people who might suggest that smoking cigarettes is a choice for teenagers. But life is not so black and white.Tobacco companies prey on teenagers because they can more easily be influenced and manipulated. Everyone knows how children can be influenced. No, they have not gone directly to teens, like some kind of a drug pusher and said "Here kids, smoke these!" But their methods of marketing and manipulation are more insidious. Marketing and availability is the key, and they understand that the easier the access, the more new lifetime customers they are going to hook. It is the same with abortion clinics, and the propaganda they distribute in the black communities. They indirectly prey on teenage girls, as these are the ones most likely to experience unwanted pregnancies. There are many people seeking to adopt children of all races and nationalities, but Planned Parenthood promotes death over life in the black communities.
They know that if the black population gets out of control their system of white supremacy is threatened. Think about it for a moment. In all of the professions where doors have been opened to black people what do we see? We do not see that they only succeed, but often they excel and dominate. The white racist cannot allow this to get out of control. Many people talk about an impending race war, but I am here to tell you that we are right in the middle of it.
The best thing the black race in the United States could do right now is to start having as many babies as possible. And to get Planned Parenthood out of the black community A.S.A.P.. The black community does not have the luxury to wait until they gain economic parity with whites before increasing the birth rate. If the black people do not rapidly increase their numbers they will never have the political muscle to achieve any real economic parity.Today you will learn a new phrase: "Population Density". Just as I have enlightened many others who have gone astray, I am here to help you understand. Behold the superior intellect! When you are referring to black populations in the inner cities, what you are referring to is "population density". This does not reflect the overall population. And your remark about the native population is bringing down the house. Here, I have provided for your convenience the "Cold Hard Truth" in 4 parts. The charts I provide reveal population distribution in the United States by race. As anyone can see from the numbers, your previous commentary has no merit whatsoever. After reviewing the charts, please explain how minorities are making too many babies. I understand that life in Mayberry can be quite hectic, but the world is waiting for your response.
Info courtesy of kff.org
The website providing the chart explains: "N/A: Estimates with relative standard errors greater than 30% are not provided." Below, I have provided information on Standard Errors. But the exact number is irrelevant to the argument anyway.
Even if 10% is spot on accurate, it still carries no political weight in the state of New Mexico. Furthermore, when they are ready to do so, it will be a lot easier for the white racists to reduce a population of 10% to 0%, than to begin their evil deed with a population of 90%. If the Black and the Indigenous are ever going to get out of this mess, then it is imperative that they at least collectively surpass the annual birth rate of the white majority for a sustained period of time. It is interesting to note that weapons of war such as guns, missiles, swords, bullets and knives are all phallic symbols. And it is ironic that the original phallic symbol will be the one that ultimately saves us from extinction. And this is a great teaching. Everything goes back to God.
Why do we have Standard Errors?
Estimates from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) are based on information collected from people in a sample of dwellings, rather than all dwellings. Hence the estimates produced may differ from those that would have been produced if the entire population had been included in the survey. The most common measure of the likely difference (or 'sampling error') is the Standard Error (SE).
Importance of Standard Errors
It is important to consider the Standard Error when using LFS estimates as it affects the accuracy of the estimates and, therefore, the importance that can be placed on the interpretations drawn from the data.
Standard Error versus Relative Standard Error
The Standard Error measure indicates the extent to which a survey estimate is likely to deviate from the true population and is expressed as a number. The Relative Standard Error (RSE) is the standard error expressed as a fraction of the estimate and is usually displayed as a percentage. Estimates with a RSE of 25% or greater are subject to high sampling error and should be used with caution.
The reliability of estimates can also be assessed in terms of a confidence interval. Confidence intervals represent the range in which the population value is likely to lie. They are constructed using the estimate of the population value and its associated standard error. For example, there is approximately a 95% chance (i.e. 19 chances in 20) that the population value lies within two standard errors of the estimates, so the 95% confidence interval is equal to the estimate plus or minus two standard errors.
Example
The example below demonstrates how each of the reliability measures can be calculated and interpreted:
Standard Error
Employed persons, November 2009
Estimate = 10,848,800
The standard error can be obtained from Labour Force Survey Standard Errors, datacube, Oct 2009 (cat.no. 6298.0.55.001)
Standard Error (SE) = 37,600
Relative Standard Error (RSE)
RSE = 100 x SE / estimate
RSE (employed persons in November 2009) = 0.3%
Since the RSE on the estimate of 10,848,800 is less than 25%, the estimate of employed persons can be considered reliable enough for general use.
95% Confidence Interval
Estimate plus or minus 2 x SE
Upper limit of the interval = 10,848,800 + (2 x 37,600) = 10,924,000.
Lower limit of the interval = 10,848,800 - (2 x 37,600) = 10,773,500.
95% Confidence = 10,773,500 to 10,924,000.
It can, therefore, be considered with 95% reliability that the true value of employed persons is between 10,773,500 to 10,924,000."It is just another one of those faux pas? Crack babbies and thugs that result from a higher black or indiginous AMERICAN birthrate are glaring stereotypes. Again, our racial stress is about attitudes, some of which we don't even recognize as such. So many of these 'attitudes' are more widely held than you would think, and can reveal itself in a typical conversation."
Credence2 - what is so racist about wanting the best for your children, and caring about the legacy you pass on?
Good point, one I hadn't considered. Ty!
A picture speaks a thousand words.
Trump being given the Ellis Island Award in 1989 for contributing to the conditions of inner city black youths, standing alongside Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks.
Well, hold on to your hat because there is more to come. After 500 years of oppression, people are starting to wake up and open their eyes to what's really going on. I find it remarkable that you decry the riot in North Carolina, but you have said nary a word about the proxy war started by the U.S. in Syria in 2011; a war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, many of them children. Nor have you voiced any outrage over the destabilization of Iraq and Libya by the United States government; a crime against humanity that has also killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, and caused untold misery. We are witnessing a program of genocide against the Muslim people that American citizens are bankrolling with their tax dollars, and a great majority here on Hubpages could give a damn. There is nothing that the rioters could do in Charlotte that could compare to the evil that continues to be perpetrated by this evil empire, even if they burned the city to the ground.
Here is what former drone operators had to say about this evil government and what they were forced to do according to NBC News: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/for … m-n472496/
Former Air Force airmen are speaking out against America's use of drone warfare, calling the military drone program "morally outrageous" and "one of the most devastating driving forces for terrorism and destabilization around the world."
In interviews with NBC News, three former servicemen — who together have 15 years of military drone experience — decried the civilian cost of drone strikes and called on President Obama to "turn this around" before he leaves office.
"We were very callous about any real collateral damage," said Michael Haas, 29, who worked as both a drone operator and instructor. "Whenever that possibility came up, most of the time it was a 'guilt by association' or sometimes we didn't even consider other people that were on screen."
wrenchBiscuit Translates: In other words, it didn't matter who, or how many were near the intended target. As long as the intended target was neutralized, any collateral damage was considered simply the cost of doing their bloody business.
I agree. It's just one of the many examples of a double standard here in the United States. But it is easy to understand why people of color are encouraged to forget the past as it concerns our ancestors. The remembering of our past serves to dismember the false narrative that America is the "Land of the Free", and that the founders were men of moral integrity. It is interesting that Americans don't have national holidays for the good white people, but only the bad. It has been said that money goes to money, and it also appears that evil goes to evil.
For example: There is no holiday for John Brown, but of course, there should be. John Brown was willing to sacrifice his life so that millions of African slaves could be free. It is easy to read such a story as it is written in a book. But John Brown had a real life. John Brown had a real family, and dreams that he wanted to fulfill. No one forced him to do what he did. Like millions of other white Americans during the antebellum, he could have simply looked the other way, focused on his own affairs, and let nature take it's course. But John Brown could not deny the evil and the suffering that was all around him. And the torment of the African slave, the very image of God, became his own torment. And so he was compelled to act. In a world of men, I can think of no greater love than that which was demonstrated by John Brown. And I can think of no American who is more deserving of a holiday, or national recognition.
He is absolutely correctomundo. This is why I am so big on History. My fascination with the past is directly related to my understanding of the present. As a person of Indigenous heritage, I find it ludicrous, as well as insulting when people refer to me as a "Native American". There were no Americans on this continent prior to the European Invasion, and I do not identify with my oppressors. The only true Americans are the white Euro-Americans. If an Indigenous person, or any person of color chooses to accept the American identity then they are accepting cultural genocide, but it is their right to do so.
We must create our own nation separate from the Americans. And the first step in that direction is cultural education, and a movement away from all things European, including European languages. The only place we have in their world is still a seat in the back of the bus. Many will argue that the election of a black President is proof that racism is dead in America. But it is only proof that P.T. Barnum was right: "There is a sucker born every minute". If his presidency was proof of substantial changes in the racial dynamic, then the Indigenous and the Blacks would not lay dead in streets all across the United States; innocent men, women, and children gunned down by the goon squad that is paid to protect corporate America. The Americans do not want us, and they certainly do not love us, but better yet, we do not need them.
America - probably is most representative population of all of the nations in the world ,there are at last count - 196 countries . What America isn't - is white European , how many sets of DNA are there making up of the human chromosome ? 23 that's 46 chromosomes , Almost every single human being in America is made up of a percentage of all the minorities of the world INCLUDING Africans
Here's a fact - If you are a woman , you are more apt to be oppressed in any one of those countries , any one of these minorities ,including America - But are the popular social reformers of American protesters whining about oppression OF POOR WOMEN ? OF POOR CHILDREN Not hardly ! Not In America .
DO SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTIONISTS IN AMERICA PICK AND CHOSE THIER SUBJECTS , ACCORDING TO REAL POVERTY LINES ? NO. ACCORDING TO THE GENDER INEQUALITY? DO THEY CHOSE THIER VICTIMS ACCORDING TO AGE ? NO ! It's all about an entitled black teenager in Baltimore driving his mothers Lexus on Saturday night and how he has to act when he gets pulled by a cop !
Last night I watched a documentary about how women in Saudi-Arabia are treated EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THIER LIVES ! These women are the most persecuted people in the world right now and where are the social activists there ? In jail ! But in America we're supposed to take seriously the poor black kid in the Lexus ?
Just trying to make people think !
Three Perspectives,Nine Kachinas, and the Destruction of America
Tamir Rice. Walter Scott. and Sandra Bland weren't driving a Lexus. Terence Crutcher, one of the last black men murdered by a cop wasn't driving a Lexus either. He was in a broken down van. And since you are so concerned about the Saudi's, perhaps you could go there and straighten them out.
An arrogant, unapologetic attitude is what led to the Civil War. Apparently, that lesson in history is lost on many Americans today. The Americans have defiled the image of God in Hispaniola, Sand Creek, Wounded Knee;Natchez Mississippi, and during the Red Summer of 1919. They have defiled the image of God in Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan, and Libya. And they continue to mock the image of God throughout the United States, as the Indigenous, the African, and the European are slaughtered by paid assassins sworn to uphold the law of a devil. Revelation 6:8-17 was written for America:
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
In the words of Dr.Allen Ross:
"...World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.)
The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers."
The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator."
That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. The time is foretold by a song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremony.
The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. "You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1. This could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you look at them. That is what makes the Emergence to the next, Fifth World.
"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang."
The Hopi and others who were saved from the Great Flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit never to turn away from him. He made a set of sacred stone tablets, called Tiponi, into which he breathed his teachings, prophecies, and warnings. Before the Great Spirit hid himself again, he placed before the leaders of the four different racial groups four different colors and sizes of corn; each was to choose which would be their food in this world. The Hopi waited until last and picked the smallest ear of corn. At this, the Great Spirit said:
"It is well done. You have obtained the real corn, for all the others are imitations in which are hidden seeds of different plants. You have shown me your intelligence; for this reason I will place in your hands these sacred stone tablets, Tiponi, symbol of power and authority over all land and life to guard, protect, and hold in trust for me until I shall return to you in a later day, for I am the First and I am the Last."
Wow! Good Golly Miss Molly! I had to laugh when I saw this. Is this what Idaho is really like? So because a person is "filthy" and covered with grease, you feel that the police are justified in profiling them. In other words, a mechanic, field hand, factory worker , or construction worker is naturally a suspect because they are dirty. And of course, because they didn't take a shower and change their clothes before heading home, according to you, they deserve to be pulled over and harassed by a Donut Hound; even your own son. What about those who don't have the facilities available to clean up before going home? I never imagined that someone who looked like he had been working and busting his hump for 8-12 hours would be considered up to no good. And so, based on your previous commentary, we can understand that in your Private Idaho, people who don't have jobs(especially black people) are lazy and no good. Now, we also understand that people who do have jobs but come home dirty, are people who look like they are up to no good.
Please, for your own safety, don't ever make such a comment in a bar full of coal miners. This reminds of another forum where you commented that the life of your son was not worth stricter gun control. You explained that it would inconvenience millions of consumers. Of course, you were referring to Neanderthals who must substitute lethal weaponry for a sex life. I am impressed with your love of authority, and apparently you find no intrusion to be unwelcome. The good news is, you will have no problem at all with martial law. Years ago when I watched the Stepford Wives I really thought that it was only a movie, a work of fiction. But I am beginning to realize now that it was prophecy. However, in spite of your uncanny world vision, I really do like baked potatoes, with butter and sour cream.
You've got Ozzie and Harriet responding to this thread who live in Mayberry Idaho, and who go squirrel hunting with the local sheriff. Of course they don't see police brutality in their insular white world. People of all races are being brutalized by these thugs in uniform. Their power to violently assault citizens needs to be severely limited. It is getting increasingly difficult to distinguish the police from Hitler's Brown Shirts.
Absolute animals! I'm tired of hearing people talk about the "good cops" Apparently, it's not the good cops who are killing 6 year old white kids, and 12 year old black kids! So we need to stop talking about and praising the so-called "good cops", and start doing something about the "bad cops", since they are the ones doing all of the killing. As I have suggested before, and I am serious: Give them donuts instead of guns, as it will help to improve their social skills.

I hope picture shows. I guess I need a jpg.
Yes! I and many others have been fighting for many years to end the hideous spectacle of Columbus Day. There are many people across the country who have awakened to the realization that they have been celebrating the life of a thief and mass murderer.
blame the Renaissance
Newsflash! During the antebellum many slaves hated their evil masters and wished for them to die. Did that make them "bad people"? Of course not. Anyone who has been kidnapped and forced into perpetual servitude would be a fool not to hate their oppressor. There were also times when my people killed as many white people as they could. Does this mean that my people were evil? Of course not. My ancestors were defending themselves against an evil aggressor who sought to murder them, and to steal everything in sight. Only a fool would go fishing while Invaders go about their business of rape, theft, and murder. But apparently they did not kill enough to make a difference.
And since the beginning of Reconstruction until now, people of color have continued to be oppressed by a white majority. The fact that many hope things will get better once the whites become a minority is a valid concern. Your argument that the OP's statement is "race generated" is sorely misplaced, since the race that has committed the greatest acts of terrorism; the race that has "generated" a feeling of fear and hatred for over 500 years on this continent; the race that is still pretending Jesus while committing acts of terrorism here and around the world ... is the "white race".
If racism doesn't exist , how do you account for the progeny of squatters and thieves still claiming this land as "theirs"? In a court of law, knowingly receiving stolen goods and property is also a crime; especially if a murder occurred while the crime was being committed. But the Americans created the concept of Manifest Destiny in order to hide behind the pretense that all of the raping, all of the stealing, and the genocide of over 100 million of my people was "God's will".
Now I will take you to school: The primary component of racism is not hate, but an unfounded and exaggerated sense of superiority. An evil nation does not hate the descendants of those who they robbed and butchered. They simply feel in their special arrogant way that we should be grateful they did not kill us all. Neither does an evil nation hate the descendants of the African slaves. Why would they hate the people who made America rich while their beloved forefathers went to church, went fishing,and enjoyed the attention of their captive mistresses? No, they do not hate them at all. They simply want them to act like they are sitting in the back of the bus, even when they are sitting in the front. No, it is not hate, but a false sense of superiority and entitlement that allows the Americans to feel comfortable with their ill-gotten wealth and standard of living. Consequently, it really doesn't matter how you "feel" about racism or minorities. What matters is that you are still here. Do you understand?

09/12 - ON THIS DAY - Corporal Mark Wesley Carthron #11
Take time to remember Corporal Mark Wesley Carthron, who was killed in the line of duty on this date in 2005, at the age of 31. Corporal Mark Carthron was struck and killed while retrieving stop sticks he had deployed during a vehicle pursuit on I-40 in Crittenden County.
The suspect's vehicle struck the stop sticks, bringing it to a halt. As Corporal Carthron retrieved the strips, he was struck by a state police vehicle that was involved in the pursuit. Corporal Carthron was transported to a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, where he succumbed to his injuries at 12:31 am the following morning.
The two suspects involved in the pursuit were driving a stolen vehicle and were wanted for an armed robbery of a service station. The driver of the stolen vehicle was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison. The passenger was convicted of robbery and theft charges and sentenced to 30 years.
Corporal Carthron had served with the Arkansas State Police for 8 years.
A HERO REMEMBERED NEVER DIES!!
It is quite remarkable that you conveniently gloss over the fact that Donald Trump did more to damage race relations in this country in just a few months than Obama did in an entire eight years! In spite of the fact that Obama has falsely been accused of playing the race card, no one can deny that he never threatened to deport all of the white people whose forefathers came here illegally and committed crimes against humanity. In fact, he never threatened any particular racial or ethnic group.You should thank God that I am not President. Trust and believe that I would not hesitate to balance the scales.
Exactly Diane! Not one of the naysayers who accuse Obama of racism can name any significant comment or policy that supports such a claim. The fact is, many white Americans didn't like Obama simply because of the color of his skin. I have also heard ad nauseam the false notion that the election of Obama proves that racism no longer exist's in America. But the fact that Trump was elected and is supported by many white supremacist hate groups clearly contradicts that ridiculous notion.
My opinion is that neither Obama or Trump were elected "by the people". In fact I believe that "all" U.S. Presidents, at least since Woodrow Wilson, have been elected by a shadow government. Consequently, they only represent the current face of the puppet masters who control them. My theory is supported by the fact that the first black President has been followed by the first openly racist, sexist, and under qualified white supremacist. It reads like a Hollywood script, and I think that the ruling elite are enjoying the spectacle of "divide and conquer". The very rich win in every Presidential election, and just like with Obama, Trump won't make a move without the approval of the "main office". If they would have told Obama to build a wall then a wall would have been built. But that wouldn't have fit the script as well. And it may have even ingratiated many racist white Americans, or at least those on the fence, to Obama, and softened their attitude toward blacks in general.
If I Were an Ant, a Cockroach, or a Slithering Snake
If I were an evil Euro-Puppet Master pulling the strings, I would direct Donald to clean up the inner cities and reduce the crime rate. At the same time I would lower even further the glass ceiling for minority owned businesses. This would certainly confound the masses and create an even greater division. It would help to illustrate and promote the fiction that the white man is benevolent toward minorities, and makes the superior leader. At the same time it would prevent minorities from gaining any economic parity, or real power. In effect, such a tactic would be the same as a slave-master cutting back on torture and cruelty, and improving living conditions, while making the shackles and chains of servitude even harder to break. Of course, the simple minded racist Billy Bob's would jump up and say, "See! Donald Trump did more for the inner city blacks than Obama!" They would proudly trot out their statistics to back up their claims. And of course, there would be people of color who would also agree. But neither group would notice the glass ceiling being lowered even further on black businesses. As a result, the false racist narrative that Asians can immigrate and be successful, yet a majority of blacks have no motivation or business acumen, would continue and be magnified. Thus, white supremacy would be maintained and reinforced.
You should read more. I suggest the Library of Congress Online would be a good place to start. During the antebellum the average white racist was sick and tired of hearing the abolitionists bemoan the institution of slavery.And many of the arguments in favor of evil were similar to what we hear today concerning the issue of racism. And that is when black people were literally walking around in chains!
I have never witnessed a black person who had so many negative things to say about their own race. And I grew up around black people, and have been involved in Civil Rights Activism since I was a child. However, it is not uncommon for an individual to adopt a persona online with the purpose of denigrating the race or organization that they claim to represent.
You are confusing apples with oranges. I knew a woman who told me some years ago that she was adopted as an infant. She revealed that from the age of 3 years old to the age of 16 she was raped and molested by 2 of her uncles who were grown men from the get-go. The victim and the perpetrators were all white. In fact, rape is more prevalent among whites. And all of the so-called "colored people" or light skinned blacks are a direct result of slaves, and later freed black women being raped with impunity by whites. If blacks want to compete with whites in the arena of rape and sexual abuse, then they have over 400 years of catching up to do.
Yes, this abuse lasted non-stop for over 400 years! Yet, you suggest that whites have a reason to fear blacks! Sorry, but it's just the opposite. Anyone who knows the truth understands that when we look at yesterday, today, and then contemplate tomorrow, it is the black man who has more to fear from the white man, as the white man's capacity for evil has already been proven through 500 years of slavery, genocide, and Jim Crow. Furthermore, over ten thousand black people have never congregated in one place to watch a young white man or teenager being tortured,burned, and lynched. But during Jim Crow, more than ten thousand whites came together on several occasions to "enjoy" the sadistic spectacle of the public torture and murder of black people.
And that's not counting hundreds of lynching's that took place in more intimate settings of just a few, or several hundred white psychopaths. It is a testament to the patience and the forgiving nature of the black race in America that they have yet to go full "Nat Turner" on their oppressors, as was the case in Haiti; a country which has been punished economically by the Europeans ever since daring to defy white supremacy. And just recently the Clinton Foundation stole 2 billion dollars from the Haitian Relief Fund. https://geopolitics.co/2016/10/11/haiti … ief-funds/
Concerning your comments about Africa: I suppose it didn't cross your mind that the problems in Africa today are a direct result of hundreds of years of Colonialism. And the current destabilization of Libya is a direct result of U.S. Imperialism. Even Hillary Clinton admitted it was a mistake. There have been great civilizations in Africa. One of the most notable is Egypt. And yes, in spite of the Eurocentric denial of Black Supremacy, there is much evidence that suggests that a great many ancient Egyptians were Black. One needs only look at an image of the great Sphinx and they can see that the face of the Sphinx has the features of a black man or woman. Egypt was for thousands of years one of the greatest civilizations in the world. It is no wonder that racists continue to deny the obvious.
And just as we have witnessed the results of miscegenation in this country that have occurred over just 500 years, it is not surprising that over several thousand years the mixing between the darker and lighter skinned Africans, and Middle Eastern people, would produce what we see today. And the Sphinx is very telling. Look at all of the monuments erected here to honor Colonialism. Most of them have European features. And you don't see any Black or Indigenous faces at Mt. Rushmore. Most of the monuments here depict images of the ruling race. And this can be seen all over the world. A monument as grand, as costly, and as difficult to erect as the Great Sphinx would not wear a black face unless those who ruled the land at that time were also black and members of a majority.
What does the Alt right want? Reccent images from alt right rallies
It is puzzling to me.
I've heard on this discussion that Blacks who were not happy could go back to Africa. How can you go BACK to a place you've never been.
I saw a Native American poster that read "Love America or give it back."
I would think the Alt Right would want to go BACK to Europe if they are attempting to create a white society. However, it is impossible to make any country all one color.
There should be a way for all of us to respect each other and work together for a better economy, jobs, cultural definition and peaceful co-existence.
David Duke

"Bravo President Trump! Some great first steps. We’re on the way, folks, to taking America back." - David Duke
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/18/ … sions.html
Kathryn, I have wondered if you smoke that stuff! Now, I still do!
On the face of it, I see nothing wrong with David Duke wanting to preserve white culture. But here in America we always arrive back at the same fundamental problem with that seemingly harmless desire. There is also a great irony here since it is a fact that the Americans purposely destroyed the cultural identity of black African slaves to make them more docile and easier to manage. They separated them from their family and friends, and forbade them to speak their language and observe their customs. And we see the same evil was perpetrated on the Indigenous as well. But now the white racists are running scared, and they see Trump as "The Great White Hope".
But what David Duke and his miscreant followers don't seem to understand is that this is not 1964. This generation isn't going to march peacefully down the streets singing "We Shall Overcome". No, that is not going to happen. People are tired of waiting for things to change. The government has set up their FEMA camps (Konzentrationslagers) and militarized the police in anticipation of the violent backlash against the New Jim Crow (NJC) and the New World Order (NWO). I suspect this charade of Trump rising to power was planned by the ruling elite even before Obama was re-elected, as they do not leave much to chance. However, even though they have worked this all out on paper with their high powered "experts", there is another player in the game that the elite have not anticipated. Now with Trump at the helm, the evil racists are desperately circling the wagons, but it is too little too late. Their day has come and gone. I am reminded here of Custers Last Stand, because of their arrogance, they have no idea where they are heading.

It’s unclear to what extent NPI’s wishes will be granted. However, they are so far galvanized by Trump’s appointments — particularly Steven Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart News, to White House chief strategist and Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to Attorney General. Bannon has long been accused of anti-Semitism, and in 1986, Sessions was deemed too racist to serve as a federal judge.

Here you come with your great big strawman. And what you are saying doesn't even make sense. That's like telling a guy who got his arm ripped off by a grizzly bear that he should never forget that he only has one arm, but he should stop telling people who took it.
You just don't get it. Nobody cares about blame. Blame doesn't pay the bills, and neither does an apology.
For instance: I got mad and shot your son in the head; your son who happened to be your sole means of support " Gee, I'm sorry!" I stole your life savings and now you're living in a cardboard box. "Gee, I feel really bad, and I am truly sorry!" That's how stupid sorry looks when you lay it out on the table.
You're living in a dream world if you think people of color spend a lot of time wanting to blame someone. That is just another racist fantasy. People of color want the same opportunity as everyone else. People of color want to be free of persecution; and especially free of miscreant cops who have the authority to even kill black children with impunity. And black people are owed reparations, as well as the Indigenous. Nobody works for free. Do you? They are owed 400 years of back pay. And that's not welfare my friend.
Their ancestors earned every nickel while they were working in the fields, and while their daughters were being raped in the barn. Why shouldn't their descendants profit from their misery? The white man sure has. Slave labor and King Cotton is what made the United States a world power. Yes, they owe them a hell of a lot of money. And the United States also owes the Indigenous for all the broken treaties, the stolen land and mineral rights, as well as the genocide committed against our people. You wanna play, you gotta pay. And if you have a problem with that, then tell your boss Monday morning that from here on out, it's Pro Bono all the way. See how that fits, and then get back to me.
Nothing false about it. If you are having trouble, get someone to read American History to you starting at 1492. No, I just backed you into a corner that you can't get out of. Oh sure, you can spew your vitriol from here to eternity, but you'll still be standing in that corner. Why? I'll tell you and Archie Bunker why. You are struck in that corner because you have no valid argument against reparations. The fact that you, nor any of your friends would volunteer to work for free today, or tomorrow, provides empirical evidence that you would certainly not accept 400 years of forced labor upon your family and your descendants.
Let's keep it real. Let's face it, and let's get a life. If you tripped on a used condom and toppled down the escalator at the shopping mall and ended up in the hospital for 3 months, only to find out that you contracted HIV at the hospital from a dirty needle, don't tell me you wouldn't try to sue someone for pain and suffering, and lost wages. No one will believe you. This isn't Facebook or Youtube. Perhaps you are out of your element.
Just as I predicted, rather than not saying anything at all when you have no valid argument, or anything of value or interest to add to a conversation. You continue with childish insults. And your insults also reveal a lack of creativity. Here is what you have offered:
NCOUTDOOR commented:
"Thank you for demonstrating your pure ignorance. A perfect example of the real problem. False victimhood."
"Yeah, being a complete nutbag makes your point much clearer. LOL."
Yes, these are very predictable responses, and you are not alone. The problem with you and many others is that you have no real argument. If you had an argument then you would have presented your argument instead of meaningless insults. You are my subordinate, not because I say so, but because you have demonstrated that your self. There many racists on Hubpages who do not agree with the truth. But some of them are intelligent, at least to a certain degree. Some will at least offer up a feeble argument, which does indicate that they learned how to read and write, and that they have a modest ability to engage in the process of critical thinking. And since your reliance on childish insults suggests that you don't know the definition of critical thinking, I will offer it here:
Critical Thinking: the objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form a judgment.
When we look at the definition we can clearly see why the racist commonly resorts to insults rather than offering a reasonable opinion. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for a racist to have an objective opinion about race related issues. And without an objective opinion it is impossible to raise anything but a pedestrian, one sided argument. For instance, when we look at the issue of minority employment we see that a majority of black people are employed. However, a favorite tact of the racist is to point out that blacks are disproportionately unemployed as compared to whites. And they will offer up statistics to back up their claims, as if they are delivering a smoking gun, or an "aha!" moment. But of course, it is not an "aha!" moment at all, but instead a "So what?"moment.
My Bulletproof Argument
by Ronnie wrenchBiscuit aka "The White Man's Moses" © 2016
I can say that a disproportionate amount of cancer patients will die prematurely as compared to people who have herpes. Yes, I can say that and it is a fact of life, but it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. And it certainly doesn't mean that cancer patients don't try hard enough to stay alive, or that they are not as intelligent, or motivated, as the people who suffer from herpes, or that they are morally bankrupt. It simply means that their condition is far more serious than herpes, which is not a life threatening disease.
Racism can be likened to a terminal disease. When white racists whine and complain about "reverse discrimination", "affirmative action" etc., metaphorically speaking they aren't even talking about herpes, but instead the common cold. However, when a person of color is talking about racism, they are speaking about the social equivalent of terminal cancer. Of course in an oppressive racist system there will be a disproprtionate amount of blacks who are umemployed, and of course in an oppressive racist system there will be a disproportinate amount of blacks who are incarcerated in the evil "prison for profit" system. But here we are not looking at the general character of the black community. Instead, what we are looking at is the general character of a disease, and the debilitating effects of that disease.
Let the world marvel at my bulletproof argument. And there is no racist dead or alive who can challenge my argument, or my authority. Let them come, and as I have done here, I will own them all.
Contrary to your last response, you are arguing with me. In fact you are doing the best that you can do, which is evident in this collection of your childish responses presented here. In order to have any kind of conversation, productive or otherwise, an individual must first be able to articulate their ideas, either verbally or in written form. You seem to be having difficulty in doing that. This is what you have presented so far:
1st Response of NCOUTDOOR
"Thank you for demonstrating your pure ignorance. A perfect example of the real problem. False victimhood."
2nd Response of NCOUTDOOR
"Yeah, being a complete nutbag makes your point much clearer. LOL."
3rd Response of NCOUTDOOR
Seriously, I don't speak Nutbag. You can't argue with the ramblings of someone so... off. This was about a productive conversation, not arguing with someone who clearly needs medication.
When one is in a position, one should start seeking promotions from the gitgo. It is never good to remain in the same position after FIVE YEARS. One should always looking past the first position & act like one is one to two levels up. I WOULDN'T LET anyone freeze me into a position. I would REBEL.....& COMPLAIN. I am good at opening my mouth- I wasn't one to be messed with in the work world. Treat me NICE ......or else..............don't want to see my BAD side, trust me!
Over a period of 19 years why didn't you do something about it? Every racist that has ever given their humble and uneducated opinion here in these Forums has maintained that black people living in the ghetto could do better and rise above their position if they would just "stop whining", "stop playing the victim", and motivate toward a better future. Here, playing the devils advocate, we can also apply this Archie Bunkerism to your situation. Instead of crying the blues for 19 years and playing the victim, why didn't you motivate yourself toward a better paying job, or another career. What was holding you back? Was it racism against whites in a country where whites are the majority? Is that what held you back? Really? How does the shoe fit, now that I have placed it on the other foot?
I use many because I'm purposedly not trying to say "All white people" or "White people."
Yes I actually heard many and saw smurks as they tried to joke about it. Possibly some smurked because they didn't want to be involved. Leo Lee, a Black man, was sentenced to the death chair for raping a white woman. The white woman lived across the street from Mrs. Scruggs, a white lady my father worked for doing odd jobs. Mrs. Scruggs told my daddy that she had seen Leo Lee go to the woman's house frequently and that they were going together. I was about 8 years old and the automatic follow on question I was thinking is "Why didn't Mrs. Scruggs say something?"
The saddest thing was to see Leo Lee's mother walking through the neighborhood trying to raise money to get another trial for her son. I'm sure she died without being able to help him.
You must remember my age! Over time, there were many!
Woodwork is hard to take down especially if it is strong and durable and meant to last and benefit all. We need to accept it, polish it and admire such woodwork. Those who gouge it, scape it and mar it must be stopped.
When there are enough who appreciate the woodwork, we will be able to keep the others at bay.
No problem.
Until that day, I for one, will keep defending the Constitution wherever I see fit.
Even if that day never comes in my lifetime. which it probably won't since after all we are at the lower end of the higher ages.
Better luck next time around.
For your convenience I have included my previous post that you claim contains "blanket statements". Since you brought the issue to my attention, please identify those blanket statements.
What I understand is that in order to keep your narrative going you make statements that are contradictory. You make excuses for the poor white people by saying it is normal for 10% to be poor! We are talking about 10% of a MAJORITY that has not suffered through slavery or racial discrimination. Yet you seem mystified that the poverty rate for blacks is just over twice that percentage. You now ask if perhaps racism is the cause.
But that is only back pedaling, because up to now you have insisted that it is more a matter of poor character, an unwillingness to conform, lack of morals, and poor parenting. Of course racism is the problem. You, onhorseback, and Archie Bunker are trying to peddle the tired old narrative that black people are inferior, and unable to succeed like other races. USING your twisted logic, if Lee Hung Lo can immigrate and make it here in America, then there should be far less that 10% of white folks living in poverty.
Unless you are willing to take the time to LEARN about the problem before seeking solutions, your time would be better spent playing golf.
No, there are no Indigenous instruments used in my compositions, other than my voice. Most of what you hear is either acoustic or electric guitars or synthesizers. And the styles you hear are primarily European and African influenced. The Indigenous aspect of my character is perhaps evident in some of my lyrics, but overall, what I write is not traditional native music. Being a musician yourself, I am sure you understand the importance of music in the struggle against racism. It was through music that the black man was able to first openly rebel and deceive his white oppressors. Many of the Negro spirituals, such as "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" were used as code words, and communication between slaves and operatives of the underground railroad. The slaves were able to openly communicate with one another right in front of the evil European slavers, and no one was the wiser. This is a perfect example of how the arrogance of the racist can be used against him. Through music, the black man was also able to openly demonstrate, even during Jim Crow, that the perceived superiority of the white race was nothing but smoke and mirrors.
Scott Joplin not only succeeded as a musician and songwriter during the height of the Jim Crow era, but he is credited with being one of the first architects of the style known as "Ragtime", and his compositions, such as "The Entertainer", and "The Maple Leaf Rag" are still popular today. Many people mistakenly believe that racism is based on hate, but that is not true. Racism is based on a false sense of superiority and entitlement. And these provide the racist with a sense of security. It is when that security is threatened that the element of hate is introduced; first in an aggressive manner by the racist, and then as a defensive reaction by the oppressed. Scott Joplin was a genius, but unfortunately for the Sons of the Pioneers, he was not the exception, but he exemplified the rule! And you can see this played out across the board. Let us consider that once the racial barriers in the world of sports were broken down, the black man not only excelled , but in many cases dominated sports. And when we consider all of the musical innovations of the last 100+ years, we see a great majority of those contributions were made by the black race. From the simplistic emotional form of the Blues, to the musical sophistication of Jazz, the black race has dominated and influenced the musical tastes of people throughout the world for over a century! We see this ability to be creative and to succeed manifested in the realm of business, and science and technology as well. And this has all been accomplished within an oppressive racist system. Just imagine what the black man and other minority groups could achieve in a truly free society.
But the racist American elite are not only powerful and intelligent, but they also have a good imagination. They can see that once the floodgates are completely opened that the white man will have to take a seat beside everyone else on the bus; not only sitting beside the African and the Indigenous, but in many cases also sitting behind them. And this vision is intolerable to the racist mind. This is why a disproportionate number of blacks have been herded into the inner city ghettos; this is why corrupt government agencies, and the police, have been funneling drugs into the inner cities since before World War II; and this is why the racists have co-opted Planned Parenthood and are using it as a method of genocide to stem the black tide, for fear it will soon whelm them all. They are filled with hate now because their game is being exposed at every turn. And there is a growing unwillingness among the youth to accept the status quo, or to rest on the achievements of the great warriors who came before, when the white racists relentlessly continue in their efforts to turn back the clock, and "Make America Great Again!"

I'm looking for Onisurus' original post.
Your apology for racism and evil is creative but hardly realistic. First of all, a majority of the minority are not gang bangers, and most of the black people I knew growing up did not live in the ghetto but were successful farmers. Secondly, I know many minority people who do not accept Colonialism, who embrace their own culture, and who have money in their pockets. Haven't you ever heard of "Two Faces"? The arrogance of many white men has blinded them to the fact that we also know how to play that game. Many of my brothers play the role in public. Of course they do. Just as many intelligent African slaves played the role of the ignorant Negro during the antebellum. It was simply to their advantage to give the evil white man the image he was looking for, and expected.
I have been a successful professional musician for most of my adult life and my understanding of the victimization of my people has only empowered me, and it has only made my life better. I live with my eyes wide open. This way I can better avoid stepping in the excrement of Colonialism that is strewn about like land mines. And it is the excrement that can get inside the minds of young African and Indigenous children, erase their true identity, and make them faceless Americans; black and brown on the outside, and all white on the inside. Your argument against multiculturalism is laughable since the trend will continue to move in that direction. Trust and believe, there are many of us who have devoted our lives to making sure of that. Furthermore, many white people are also starting to wake up to the evil of America, and the evil of materialism and capitalism. But your commentary reveals that these are things you admire and consider to be of great worth. And this is just one more reason I find the Christian Bible to be a most interesting piece of work.
In Matthew 6:24 Jesus said: "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon".
It also is written to " Love thy neighbor as thyself". Many cannot reconcile these two ideas, and many see them as contradictions. But they are not contradictory at all. And this should be easy to understand for anyone who has ever had children. When a parent sternly corrects a child they do not do so out of hate, but out of love for the child. And it is their responsibility as a parent to set the child's foot on solid ground, so that the child may avoid the many pitfalls ahead of them. Furthermore, it would be ridiculous to suggest that the concept of "loving thy neighbor" extends to turning a blind eye to your neighbor evil works. It has often been said that you must love the man and hate the evil. Just as with a child, when you chastise and correct your evil neighbor, you are not necessarily doing so out of hate, but it is only out of of love. For if you truly hated your neighbor, you would not seek to correct him, nor to reason with him at all. You would not seek to set his foot on solid ground, but you would simply exterminate him, as you would a common household pest; as the Colonialist squatters exterminated over 100 million of my people.
Many will champion all things European because they feel that is the way to go, because that is where the money is. But that is only a symptom of the sickness that will soon destroy America, and possibly the entire human race. For along with the money, the greed, and the addiction to materialism, comes a very high price. And the cost is measured in the blood of young American soldiers, in the blood of non-combatants throughout the Middle East, in the blood of Syrian children, and in the many tragedies born of corporate and political greed; from the evil of Philip Morris,Henry Ford, and Monsanto, to the evil of Love Canal, the Kalamazoo River, and Flint Michigan. You speak of getting ahead, but the love of money and the continued glorification of evil is only getting the American people positioned squarely behind the 8 ball.

Everyone has to understand , what All professional victims want , no have to have , IS an entity of blame !
As so along comes the biggest shoulders in the modern day world -----America !
Slavery , servitude , mass socio-economic - mass immigrationist's , any of those in cultural poverty , social activist reformers , liberal artists , intellectual idealists , political morons , ANY PERSON WHO HAS EVER FELT A VICTIM OF SOCIO-ECONOMICS in their own right , IS who needs an object to blame -for it all , Today ;Native Americans , African Americans ,BLM or in other words , intellectually entitled youth educated of entitled immaturity, anyone who can historically claim that they were somehow a victim of , mostly their own inability to evolve , mostly by tier own inability to advance socio-economically
for whatever reason -------------------Become these professional victims !
No one alive knows - NOT one person alive, who was a slave , a victim of manifest destiny , a victim of colonialist America . Yet, All that Americans need to do is turn around and there in front of you is a professional victim !
+1,000,000,000,000,000,0000,000. Ahorseback is succinctly right regarding the seal. America has become the land of the whiners, victims, rescue meers, & those who adamantly refuse to take responsibility or to be accountable in their lives. America is also now a nation of accusers & blamers.
wrenchBiscuit Prevails Against Angry Mob
I am not addicted to materialism. Furthermore, my family were successful farmers, and I am a successful artist. I have enough money for my needs, and it is the muse that I am most interested in. A man who worships material things is quite pathetic, and the cemeteries are full of "rich" men. Where I am going there is a different standard, as opposed to the gold standard. If I wanted great wealth for any purpose it would be to destroy the evil Capitalists, and to imprison them for crimes against humanity.
The evil of Real Estate is the primary cause of poverty throughout the world. In a moral society men would not be warehoused on top of one another in filthy inner cities while the rich horde vast amounts of land and resources. This wealth would be distributed among the people according to their needs. In a moral society each man, woman, and child would be guranteed land, and clean water; not as a privilege, but as a birth right. It is perverse for a man to demand a price of admission for the land that no man himself has created, but was created by the very hand of God.
You commented: "Can you point to a single country the US government has taken over and annexed AGAINST their will? " Yes, that is easy, but I will name two instead of one!
• The Kingdom of Hawaii was invaded and taken over against the will of the Hawaiian people.
• Diego Garcia :Between 1968 and 1973 the entire native population was forcibly removed by the Imperalist U.S. government . The Chagossians were rendered homeless and destitute as a result.
The reluctance of both the Chagossians and the Hawaiians to U.S. Imperialist aggression is well documented. Bill Clinton even apologized to the Hawaiian people while in office for the U.S. overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in January 1893. I will remind that it was in June of the same year that Katherine Bates penned the lyrics to "America The Beautiful". As I have commented in an earlier post, in light of the evil that had been perpetrated before, during, and after the composition of this song, the song stands as a perverse testament to American hypocrisy and indifference.
Although I have clearly answered your question concerning annexation, your question does not go to the heart of the matter. The United States has invaded 70 nations since 1776. Often, such as in Panama with Noriega, the U.S. government will not openly annex a country, but will install a puppet ruler and call the shots behind the scenes. At any rate, the U.S. Imperialist intervention into the affairs of these countries has caused great misery and death. This is not ancient history, as it is happening now at this very moment in Syria, and throughout the Middle East.
According to countercurrents.org:
"Since 1950 the UN has provided detailed demographic data that have permitted calculation of avoidable deaths, year by year, for every country in the world. 1950-2005 avoidable deaths total 1.3 billion for the whole world, 1.2 billion for the non-European world and 0.6 billion for the Muslim world , the latter carnage being 100 times greater than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) or the “forgotten” WW2 Bengali Holocaust in which the British with Australian complicity deliberately starved 6-7 million Indians to death for strategic reasons . Currently 18 million people die avoidably each year in the Developing World on Spaceship Earth with the US in charge of the flight deck".
"..Thus in the period 1950-2005 there have been 82 million avoidable deaths from deprivation associated with countries occupied by the US in the post-1945 era".
MONSANTO-MONSANTO-MONSANTO
You asked if I can point to a single person Monsanto has intentionally killed. You have framed the question in such a way in order to posit the notion that it is impossible for us to know such intentions. Impossible for a fool ... perhaps. What Monsanto has continued to do for decades is to demonstratea a depraved indifference to human life for the sake of profit. Their intention is evident in the carnage, the wasted human life, and environmental waste they have left behind. I personally knew a Catholic priest in New York who died as a result of exposure to Agent Orange, which was manufactured by Monsanto. His name was Father Paul. He helped Vietnamese orphans during the Vietnam War in country.
According to globalresearch.ca:
"1960s: Monsanto, along with chemical partner-in-crime DOW Chemical, produces dioxin-laced Agent Orange for use in the U.S.’s Vietnam invasion. The results? Over 3 million people contaminated, a half-million Vietnamese civilians dead, a half-million Vietnamese babies born with birth defects and thousands of U.S. military veterans suffering or dying from its effects to this day!
Monsanto is hauled into court again and internal memos show they knew the deadly effects of dioxin in Agent Orange when they sold it to the government. Outrageously though, Monsanto is allowed to present their own “research” that concluded dioxin was safe and posed no negative health concerns whatsoever. Satisfied, the bought and paid for courts side with Monsanto and throws the case out. Afterwards, it comes to light that Monsanto lied about the findings and their real research concluded that dioxin kills very effectively".
A later internal memo released in a 2002 trial admitted:
“that the evidence proving the persistence of these compounds and their universal presence as residues in the environment is beyond question … the public and legal pressures to eliminate them to prevent global contamination are inevitable. The subject is snowballing. Where do we go from here? The alternatives: go out of business; sell the hell out of them as long as we can and do nothing else; try to stay in business; have alternative products.”
But Agent Orange is just one of the many deadly products produced by Monsanto that have killed millions of human beings, and threatened the health of millions more. PCB.s, DDT, Roundup, and GMO.s
to name a few. This evil corporation aptly illustrates the inhumanity of Capitalism, and the demonic underpinning of "The American Dream", and Manifest Destiny.
Yes, the Philippines is another good example of U.S. Imperialism. But I already knew before I started that even when faced with the truth, there are many who will deny what is staring them right in the face. The argument that a particular evil happened in the past is no good argument at all. But this is the one the apologist will always use. wilderness has proclaimed to the world that after 60,100,or 500 years, it is not the same people, or nation. And thus, there should be no accountability. But it appears he has once again painted himself into a corner. For it follows that forgiveness, and forgetfulness, of the brutality of an entire nation, should also apply to the individual. Perhaps Leslie Van Houten should try using the same excuse. After all, she has served nearly 50 years in prison for the brutal murders of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca. And I am sure she is a totally different person than the 19 year old girl who was arrested and sent to prison for life in 1971. Also, according to many here, it is not good to carry hatred for someone, or some thing, for so many years.
And so, if the mainstream feels this way, and are all about forgiveness, why is this woman still in prison? For the record, I will tell you what you already know. The Americans pick and choose who they will demonize. All totaled, the death toll in the Tate / LaBianca murders amounts to 7. But before I continue, let it be known that I am a "Believer in One". What does it mean? It means I feel that if only one innocent person must suffer and die, out of over 320 million, then it is one too many. Having made that clear, I also feel that the greater the number, the more egregious the crime. The Americans have demonized Leslie Van Houten for her participation in the brutal killing of Rosemary and Leno LaBianca. Considering the irreversible nature of a murder victim, I do not have a great amount of sympathy for her cause. Especially since this event was more of a "thrill killing" than any sort of justifiable homicide with mitigating circumstances. However, when we consider that she has been demonized for killing two people, while celebrated men like Columbus,George Washington, and Harry Truman, are personally, and collectively responsible for the brutal killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the continued imprisonment of Leslie Van Houten is nothing less than an outrage; not necessarily because of her suffering, but because of the hypocrisy of mainstream America. Columbus Day is the most despicable holiday ever invented,as he was a criminal, and a mass murderer of biblical proportion.
I have been admonished not to hate the evil colonizers, and those who celebrate their allegiance to evil each year on Columbus Day. But the state of California, and mainstream America, appear to be comfortable in continuing to punish a woman nearly 50 years after the fact. Some will argue that in her case it is not about hate, but about justice. But I too can say the same thing about America. After the time of hating has long since passed, justice must still prevail. If the American people truly want to move forward, then this macabre celebration of violence and evil must surely end. There must be no statute of limitation on murder, whether that crime is committed by an individual, or on behalf of an entire nation.
It is remarkable how people try to silence the opposition these days with words and phrases such as : hate, whining,race baiting, victim mentality, and "playing the race card". This is a perverted society, and it is perverse to suggest that hate is strictly a negative and destructive emotion. A man who hates pain will run to the doctor as quickly as he can, and in doing so, his aversion to pain may actually save his life. But a man will never purposely destroy what he loves. The architects, and the beneficiaries of iniquity have always defended the evil hand that leavens their bread. Such loyalties are clearly understood. But it is only a hatred of evil, along with a love for past, present, and future generations, that will motivate a man to rebuke this evil legacy.
I will not be a party to rape, murder and genocide, simply because it pleases the majority for a man to be docile, patriotic, and compliant. You made this comment onhorseback:
"No one alive knows - NOT one person alive, who was a slave , a victim of manifest destiny , a victim of colonialist America."
But you should speak for yourself, because I have known them all, even those yet unborn. What man does not bleed the red blood that now courses throughout my body? What man does not desire for his family to prosper, and to greet tomorrow with a smile? What man wants to be dispossessed, disenfranchised, and relegated to the status of a pack animal? Yes, I have known all of these. But as you can see, I am not a friend of the devil. I am not every man, and every man is not me. I have no understanding of such a wicked and malicious heart; not only a heart of stone, but a heart made of titanium steel; an evil heart that ignores the pain and suffering of innocents while keeping the beat of 500 years, and profiting from that misery. I know none of these, as I am not afflicted with the sickness of materialism.
Many here would do well to appreciate the words of Jesus:
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
For I was an hungry, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
... And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
A RESOUNDING THANK YOU. Don't let the haters & negaters prevent you from succeeding. They're mere humans after all. Succeed & don't permit anyone to distract from one's shine.......

Race among racism
Demands of accountability that's nothing
but an emotional need
your screams for entitlement
will you arise from the greed
Who is the perpetrator and who the victim
yet you still say they lied
who alive today is the demon
we've all forgotten who cried
No monsters no victims but those
who came before
just what will it all get for you though
as you cry for more
When the rocks have landed hard or the store
is burned
just what part did you play
what have your children learned
Saw a young child the other day pick
up a brick and I wondered when
I thought of the hatred is in his hands and wondered
where has his father been
well, Good! I wish I knew my past. All I know is that my ancestors fled Scotland for some reason or other. My parents taught us to move forward. So, on the other hand, it's fine I do not know my past. Would it change me one way or the other to know whether or not I am actually a Mc Donald? Probably better to not know!
"… there is still a large powerful contingent of the McDonald family which is connected to the Mystery Religions, and which has family members who are part of the Illuminati. Each of the major Scottish clans had an area that they controlled of Scotland. The McDonalds controlled the islands and coastal areas on the west coast of Scotland. When the Knights Templars fled persecution, in order to escape the various British fleets, they sailed a route that took them to western Scotland. During the time of King Philippe IV of France, the McDonalds were involved in the movement of the Knights Templars. The Knights Templars had adopted gnostic/satanic practices and during the centuries they guarded the pilgrims in the Middle East. The Order had also become the International Bankers of Europe and large landowners in Europe. The King of France twisted the Pope’s arm (so to speak) to get him to go along with a campaign to eliminate the Knights Templars. Because the McDonald clan was in private still pagan, they were willing to help the Knights Templar escape the Pope’s decree against the Templars." etc here:
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/blood … donald.htm"But I promise, you will see very few Americans in Heaven. They would not like it there anyway, as there is no evil to glorify in Heaven." wB
Don't you think this is a little over the top? Good grief.
No,I do not, as I am a reasonable man. You make a mockery of my words, and I understand it has become a great sport here on Hubpages to shoot the piano player. But I will now remind of what is a "little over the top". Read, Learn, and Move a Muscle
• Shooting and killing a 12 year old child in Cleveland Ohio who is playing with a toy gun in public, within 3 seconds of arriving at the scene. This is over the top.
• An evil Ohio grand jury allowing the murderer of Tamir Rice to go free. This is over the top.
• Since before the time of Emmett Till, the ability of cowardly white Americans to torture and kill children of color with impunity. This is over the top.
• Working class Americans whose sons and daughters have been used as cannon fodder by a ruling elite since the Revolutionary War; misguided individuals who continue to swear allegiance to the killers of their own children, their own oppressors. This is over the top.
• General Dynamics receiving a $65.3 million contract to support the Iraq M1A1 Abrams program. The U.S. approved sale of $600 million in M1 tank ammunition to Iraq. The sale of $579 million worth of Humvees to Iraq. The sale of $600 million in Howitzers and trucks to Iraq. The sale to $700 million worth of Hellfire missiles to Iraq. This is called the business of war. This is over the top.
• The murder of 2,996 American citizens on 9/11 by elements within the U.S. government; mass murder used as a means of laying a foundation for the opening of a pipeline of gold to Iraq. This is over the top.
• Professing Christianity while refusing to carry the cross of Jesus; reviewing bank statements while children lie bleeding in Cleveland, Aleppo, and Palestine; children torn apart by bullets and weaponry made in America. This is hypocrisy. This is a little over the top. And this is a one way ticket to Hell.
~ materialism: We need certain things for survival. We don't need too much or too little. We all have roles to play. Modern life contains things which help us fulfill the roles we have taken on as far as life decisions and our financial obligations. What do we live for? money or love? Ultimately, materialism without love is no fun anyway. Same with love and no money… or car.
