Dr. Claude Anderson has
made great videos. We need economic growth. Also, we should learn about the
pitfalls of cutthroat capitalism and the excesses of Communism too. Even Dr.
King knew that the Stalinist version of Communism was filled with errors. I
heard of Dr. Claude Anderson before for years. My youngest brother has one of
his books. He is a very wise man. He is correct that he have to find unique
ways to control and develop of our black infrastructure. We certainly need
Power. It doesn’t matter where we live at, if we can’t have the Power to
communicate with each other, to defend each other when we are under attack, and
build up an economic base, then we don’t have real Power. The record economic
inequality in the world is differently tied to the oppression of BLACKS by many WHITES. Also, we need businesses, but we should have workers’ rights, a
communal spirit, and fairness in our people. The Gilded Age proved that
businesses should never treat fellow human beings unfairly. So, we should
reject white supremacist ideologies while growing our own Power base or GROUP
ECONOMICS that Dr. Claude Anderson eloquently talked about. Malcolm X was right
to call for black solidarity and black business growth too. Also, having black self-determination
and having our own has nothing to do with RACISM. It is just commonsense. You
will notice that folks never call Jewish folks, Hispanics, and Asians racists for having
grown their businesses or UNITING in common cause for their own interests, but
we are falsely called racists (for advocating TRUE SELF-DETERMINATION). We have
to see our vision in our own eyes not in the eyes of whites. In other words, we
should love our own BEING and not imitate the evils done by numerous WHITES. So, we
should use COMMONSENSE and REASONABLE, STRONG EFFORTS TO ADVANCE OUR INTERESTS.
Also, I get annoyed when some who are victims of racism say that I am
surprised and I am so shocked. If Trayvon Martin's death alone can't wake
deluded folks up, then nothing will in my opinion. All of us dealt with racism
and discrimination before, so we can never be surprised about the situation
that we are in. The exploitation of an innocent young person's death is truly
one of the lowest things that folks can do. For a man to even contemplate funding such a boxing match is a disgrace. Many ethnic groups have threatened
corporations, used massive legal challenges, organized self-defense units, and
the whole nine in defense of their interests. It is just commonsense for us to
do the same. Our original culture and our original state have been filled with
ethics, truth, and morality. The enemy has been the leaders of immorality and
we should not mimic their perverted ways at all. Also, I remember looking at
Malcolm X calling for such things even just before he died. Today, many folks
are massively more brainwashed about the viciousness of the oppressor than in
1935. Some now believe in the illusion of inclusion, but they (we know who the
"they" are. They are called the Yurugu by many of our conscious
Brothers and our conscious Sisters) always think ahead and they to use token
"concessions" as a means to control us in a more slick fashion. We
all have hope for the future and our faith will never die. We have to keep on
going in our lives and do real action to assist our communities. You are right
that only God knows the total future. Yes, nothing is wrong with prayer at all.
A kindergarten person
can convict Michael Dunn for numerous charges. Jordan Davis and his friends
were never directly threatening the life of Michael Dunn at all. That murderer
Michael Dunn can easily drive away from the situation and use many alternatives
in handling the situation. Michael Dunn has given contradictory statements
about the whole incident in question. Jordan Davis or his friends never
attacked Michael Dunn at all. His or Michael Dunn's bullets could of killed
others passengers in the vehicle. Dunn never immediately called the police
after his murderous action. Many people could care less about BLACK LIFE. It is
our responsibility as black people to defend our interests and to come to the
aid of a Brother or a Sister who need assistance against oppression or
injustice. The day of selfishness is over. The day of Meism or being just
concerned for yourself is over. Altruism and selflessness are key concepts that
we ought to embrace in a daily basis. Our people are dying and being murdered
by evil criminals and we should never stay or ally with the status quo at all.
This case is a clear cut case of oppression and injustice against a human being
and Michael Dunn should face justice for his reckless, evil deeds. We should
also know that white racists are not omnipotent. We can COLLECTIVELY use our
POWER AS BLACK PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOCIETY. It is that some black
people have to get over their fear of white reactionary criticism. Some black
people just fear white people, which is an old slavery mentality. We have to
understand the TRUTH and improve the conditions in our community (and FIGHT
OPPRESSION). Regardless of what you do, evil people will still hate you for
being BLACK. So, it is commonsense for us to STAND UP, SPEAK OUT, AND TO USE
ACTION as a means to defend our human dignity (and to advance our INTERESTS).
The tweeted image was offensive, ignorant, immature, and stupid. The photo
shopped image of hand showing a banana outlined the intent from Irina Rodnina
(who is insecure and jealous of the intellectual qualities of the President and
the beautiful Sister First Lady Michelle Obama) all along. She did not want to
show dignity to 2 human beings. She wanted to mock them and be offensive. She
not apologizing for it is typical of people like Irina. We as a people should
not accept her apology anyway even if she did apologize for it. I realize that
there is a lot of the racism in Europe even in Russia. There are fascist groups
in Europe that hate us blacks, Jewish people, etc. We should understand that
the battle against white supremacy is global and Europe is not as “progressive”
as many claim that it is. In fact, on the issue of immigration, Americans are more
progressive than many Europeans. Folks have the right to agree or disagree with
the policies from the current administration. Yet, there is no justification to
disrespect the President and the First Lady at all. So, we know what time it
is.
The old school vibe of
the WARRIOR SPIRIT (I remember we wrote about this issue months ago during the
summer) should be advanced more in our community. That warrior mentality has
been shown by our relatives and our ancestors. It is found in the power of Malcolm
X, Dr. King, the strength of the BPP, and in our African heroes too. There is
nothing wrong with it. It exists in many of our people, but not enough in my
opinion. Many human beings agree with me on that point. That is why it is so important for
Brothers to teach young males on the important on that relentless masculine
power. That power is strong and many racists fear it since it refutes their
illogical ideologies. When we are truly united, we can adequately grow our
culture and fully defend ourselves. Racists are irrational and have extreme
insecurities. That is why they target people and try to cause chaos in the
world. We can win, but we have to fight for it. That is why for years, I do
advocate any able bodied male or female in their youth to do exercise or learn self-defense
training in real life. These acts are some of the easiest ways to get healthy
and to grow that warrior energy. Yes, we have that responsibility to help the
young. Many are from Generation X (LOL. :) ) and I am from Generation Y, so we
have our strength, intelligence, youth, etc. that can inspired the entire
community. Italy is known for its racism. I never forgot about how many of them
disrespected the Sister who was a political leader in Italy. So, racism is
worldwide. Europe has a lot of racism just like America. Europe is not as
"progressive" as many view it. Mario Balotelli never said a statement
about why he has cried. I assume part of it is because of the evil treatment
that he has suffered consciously or subconsciously. I do believe that Mario
should organize with LEGITIMATE, INDEPENDENT black political groups in Europe
to fight back. Individually, he has the right to defend his dignity and honor
as a black man too. Mario suffering racism is something that we oppose. We are
in solidarity with our people worldwide. Nothing changes unless WE FIGHT. WE
HAVE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST BIGOTRY. He has the right to leave that team and go
to another one as well. The slavery mentality is deep. We know how they think.
Many of them may smile in your face, but say derogatory comments being your
back. So, it is obvious that we have to think reasonably about this situation.
Your analogy of a plantation perfectly outlines the situation, because we A'INT
FREE. We are not free from discrimination, racism, and oppression. We are not
free from horrid conditions in many of our communities. It is obvious that they
give crumbs to the bourgeoisie, but these crumbs are only stale manna sent to
the few that give an appearance of FREEDOM. Once, folks realize that (of us still
being in chains because we lack true ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL POWER IN A
REVOLUTIONARY BASIS), the better off human beings are to see the wickedness of
modern day society. The victim has nothing to do with the modern system of
oppression at all. He has nothing to do with the racist taunts from ignorant
folks. The victims exist within the fabric of hurt and we have to do address
these things. Also, as you have greatly deduced, we have to FIGHT. We have to
defend the strength of our Brother Mario Balotelli. He is our Brother and we
have to tell him that we care about him. The recent white supremacist fascist
groups growing in the Ukraine, Greece, Germany, the UK, Spain, etc. document
that our fight is global beyond just the States. Also, we show our STRENGTH by
knowing about the evil system of white supremacy, knowing about true black
legacy plus history, and advancing our interests.
There is the story about
the Sochi. There is geopolitics involved in this affair. The mainstream media
has bashed Vladimir Putin the West. The truth is in between the 2 extreme views
of him. The truth is that both America and Russia should clean up their houses
period. Both nations are not perfect and both nations have authoritarian
policies. On February 6, the XXII Olympic Winter Games started. There are the
geopolitical issues involved in this affair. Security is extremely tight. It is
like an armed camp. Measures have been unprecedented and around 2 billion
dollars was spent on security. There have been 23,000 personnel assured proper
measures were in place as planned. Tens of thousands of police officers are
deployed. They're backed by helicopters, drones, gunboats, submarines, and
70,000 Russian troops. Hundreds of Cossacks are involved. They will check IDs.
They can detain suspects. Sochi is in a close proximity to the North Caucasus
raised concerns. Many of the Islamist jihadists have been U.S. assets. After
the December Volgograd bombings (which killed 34 people), Russia have raised
concerns. Many folks want to find the truth. According to Sochi Organizing
Committee chairman Dmitry Chernyshenko: “Terrorism is a global threat, and for
terrorism there is no boundaries, no territories, but here in Sochi from the
very beginning of the construction phase the state authorities did their utmost
to prepare special measures, starting from the screening of raw materials,
checking all the venues and preparing far-reaching security measures to provide
the safest ever environment here.” There is a controlled zone established. It covers
60 kilometers. It runs along the coast and extends 25 kilometers inland. It
includes all venues and they're heavily guarded. The entire areas are for
authorized visitors only. There is massively anti-Russian sentiment too. The
truth is that Russia and America must clean up both of their houses. Many
actions done by America and Russia have been wrong and evil, but this doesn't
justify Western imperialism either. There is Cold War politics coming on. Many
folks use Putin as a means to make Russia to roll over to Washington. There is
the Western meddling in the affairs of Russia, Syria, Ukraine, and other
nations. Putin affirms that the “inalienable right to security for all
states, the inadmissibility of excessive force, and unconditional observance of
international law.” Sochi is expensive. Now, Putin is not perfect, but America
has its issues as well. Russian elections are democratic and monied interests
don't control them as American ones. Even in the States, we have demagoguery,
propaganda, scandal, sleaze, junk food news, and warmongering. We have
thousands of political prisoners languishing in prisons. We have the American
middle class harmed and our freedoms violated. We have unprecedented levels of
public and private corruption in the States. There is corporate empowerment. There is the
crushing of organized labor. There is the commodifying and privatization of
public education inside of America. There has been the ignoring of international, constitutional,
and U.S. statue laws. There is the war on humanity and violations of fundamental
human and civil rights. So, Russia and America must clean up their houses since
both nations aren't perfect at all. That is the point.
We should pool resources, UNITE, AND CREATE ACTION. Yet, we also need the correct mindset too. We have to reject anti-blackness and we have to love our blackness as a means to fight. If we WANT TO BE successful, then we have to eliminate the pettiness and UNITE with our people with the common cause to fight for black liberation. We should never imitate the propaganda from the media. We should understand that the system of white supremacy is a cancer in the world and say what is right. We should improve ourselves (if a black person or a non-black person does something wrong, then we have to be real and oppose any evil action done by anyone) and confront the oppression facing us directly. We have to love BLACK LOVE. Many celebrities and others talk all of that stuff, but refuse to advance BLACK LOVE for black people. BLACK LOVE IS ONE CONCEPT that grows, develops, and stabilizes the black community (along with revolutionary actions). Jamie Foxx spoke on many interesting subjects. Regardless of what folks think of him, it is gracious of him to show great, profound respect for the family of Trayvon Martin. We have to stop degrading each other and stop being involved in foolish distractions that only eliminate the necessary time for us to do the RIGHTEOUS WORK of opposing police brutality, of opposing extrajudicial murders of Brothers & Sisters, to fight poverty, to improve Nature, and to adhere to the protection of human rights. We have to confront the white racist power structure as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said. We should always respect the memory of Trayvon Martin by doing what is right (which is constructive action). Doing what is right is never about loving the actions or the system of the oppressor. It is about advancing the agenda of improving the lives of the people. We have to unify with other black people to see this journey through. We need to have GROUP ECONOMICS and realize that WE ARE ONE PEOPLE. In essence, we should learn what heroic Brothers and Sisters stood for. We should learn their lessons and apply them in our generation. Dr. King taught us about compassion and how to fight the enemy without arms. Malcolm X taught us about strength and fighting the enemy with arms if necessary. Each wanted the same goals and each agreed with anti-imperialism, with black liberation, with advancing connections with Africa, with promoting love of our black African heritage, and exposing the lies found in the mainstream media. This fight is not over, but WE WILL WIN IN THE END. WE ARE LEADERS IN OUR SPECIAL WAY. WE ARE LEADERS IN OUR FAMILIES AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES. I wished that Fannie Lou Hamer, Dr. King, Malcolm, and many of our Soldiers were alive. If these Soldiers were alive, our community would be in much better shape. In any time of our struggle, we have revolutionary periods and the counterrevolution. Now, we are in crossroads period in our struggle for black liberation. What our community does now will cause it to go either in a positive or negative direction. The good news is that we are alive and we are going to WORK and FIGHT.
