Paul Ryan is wrong on
numerous levels. First, he cites Charles Murray. Charles Murray is a blatant
agent of the system of white supremacy by promoting the lie that black people
have inherit genetic inferiority intellectually to whites collectively. So, his
credibility is over by even allying with an enemy of black people like Murray.
Poverty is caused because of complex factors. Most people who are poor work.
Ryan refuses to talk about growing economic inequality, discrimination, and lax
resources in poorer communities that contribute to poverty in the first place.
Some people are poor by no fault of their own excluding laziness. He ignores to
talk about the poor in rural communities too. People like Ryan are hypocrites.
They or the reactionaries want massive funding for the military industrial
complex and for corporations, but they refuse to have government funding to
rebuild cities and other communities in America. Also, many men in the inner
city love work and they love ethics. The same ones lecturing us on the rights
of men (when we should have egalitarianism or true freedom for men and women)
ignore how Paul Ryan basically bashed men living in inner city communities when
social problems are not limited to urban communities at all. It is just that
inner city men have been made scapegoats for the crimes of the super-rich. The
problem can never be solved unless there is a national approach to solve the
issues of poverty, discrimination, economic oppression, and other ills in the
nation. You have to advocate economic justice. Paul Ryan wants to lecture on
poverty, but he advocates no radical, revolutionary solution to address poverty
in a comprehensive fashion. He does not even advocate a jobs plan or a guaranteed
annual income or a slight increase in the minimum wage (which can fight
poverty). Some in Congress want to send 1 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine,
but the reactionary Republicans refuse to advocate an economic package to
address the issues in Detroit (which has been harmed economically by select big
banking interests). Whites do receive the highest amount of government
assistance. We have to address the SOCIAL CONDITIONS IN AMERICA as a means to
reach to that Promised Land. The Sister Barbara Lee is correct. Many human
beings who are very intelligent, very moral, and very honorable are poor not
because of laziness, but because of a diversity of factors. Poverty is multiplex in its composition.
I have watched grown men in my neighborhood back in the day working, caring for
children, and being strong in an upright fashion. There are tons of inner city
men who know the value of hard work and excellence in their behavior. Tons of
inner city human beings have to work two jobs to survive literally. There is
massive poverty that resides in rural communities as well. Poverty cuts across
racial backgrounds. We should advocate solutions and not blame innocent human
beings for being poor. She or Rep. Barbara Lee should be commended also for voting against the Iraq
War Resolution back in 2002.
First, RIP Tamara
Blaine. Her memory should be known and respected. This story is a tragedy and
we have to love our natural beauty at the end of the day. Blaine’s mother
talking about the NYPD's treatment of the case is typical of the NYPD. That is
not unusual in my eyes. Far too often, many of the police don’t care about
black life and some of the police have brutalized black human life in a
grotesque fashion. Some even try to justify police brutality. Like always, we
all wish for the Mother of Sister Tamara Blaine to make Mobley to experience
accountability and for Tamara's mother to experience justice in this situation.
Tamira Mobley must be made accountable for her actions period. We have to take
a stand. We have to be fair here and realize that life is precious. The truth
is that we have every right to respect the humanity and the dignity of real
black women. The reality is that black women are not the biggest hypocrites in
this planet. Male bashing is wrong. Female bashing is wrong too. We should move
forward and not fight some unintelligent, evil gender war among our people. We
should fight poverty, injustice, crime, the prison industrial complex, the War
on Drugs, social nihilism, and other real ills. We know who the biggest
hypocrites in the planet truly are. They are the ones who brutalized
continents, instituted genocides, created the system of white supremacy, and
harmed societies internationally via imperialism and war. Black women should be
treated with dignity and respect. So, black men and black women have every
right to fight for improvement, to fight for human decency, and to fight
against nefarious stereotypes at the end of the day. Now, the fundamental point
is that we have to respect our black identity and to make sure that those who
commit such tragic errors should be made accountable for their actions. Edud is a person telling the truth on the vicious nature of white supremacy. When even white sociologists and
many studies confirm our views (like how innocent black kids are even judged
unfairly as guilty as compared to white kids), some folks just still want to
deny the TRUTH, which validates the essence of conscious black human beings' arguments. The truth is
that black people have suffered a great deal and we have the right as black
people to understand the system of white supremacy (and to call for justice in
the world). Our dignity and our value are worth respecting, defending, and
honoring. That is the point.
I love to study real black African history. It inspires me and it educates me as well. Real black history is not just found in ancient Egypt, but
it is found all over Africa. We know that Negroid black human beings lived in
ancient Egypt before (as admitted by scholars, historians, and sociologists).
One of the greatest black historians and scholars on this issue were Brothers
John Henrik Clarke and Frank M. Snowden, Jr. Each dedicated their lives to
uplift black humanity and to tell inspiring facts on the legacy and humanity of
our black people. John Henrik Clarke is a strong inspiration in my life,
because he not only wrote books, but he publicly advocated pan-Africanism in
public. We have to accept revolutionary ideals (like embracing an end to unjust
laws, fighting for an end to imperialism, and wanting our interests to be
promoted) and enact revolutionary solutions as a means to liberate our people.
Also, black African Nubians established the Meriotic alphabet long before the
modern English alphabet came into existence. The histories of Nok, Axum, Mali,
Songhai, Ghana, Zimbabwe, etc. document the strong, stirring, and
intellectually potent qualities of the black African experience. These
civilizations are a part of our ancestors and they are a part of us too. They
represent the strength of our black personhood, the devotion to community as
found in our being, and the love of justice that is maintained in our hearts.
We are all Africans and we are one black people. It is as simple as that. When
you have Lord's Holy Spirit coming alive in your being, the truth comes alive.
When you have inspiration, a just cause, and a revolutionary mentality, the
walls of oppression & prejudice will come tumbling down. So, the walls
are crumbling and we will win in the end. So, real Brothers and real Sisters should continue on what they are
doing. Real folks (including me) respect humanity. One hero that many don’t know was
Edward Wilmot Blyden. He was a great father of Pan-Africanism. He wanted
African Americans to come into Africa as a means to live a better life. He
worked in politics in the nation of Liberia. He spoke to major black
congregations in America about his work in Africa. Many religious places in
America back then were locations where black people debated issues and planned
for revolutionary actions. He was also serving editor at The Negro and The
African World. He wanted Africans to appreciate spirituality while opposing
European oppression. He maintained ties with the American Colonization Society
and published in their journal, African Depository and Colonial Journal.
Before WEB DuBois, before Garvey, and before Padmore, there was Blyden and Martin
Delaney advocating Pan-Africanist ideals. We should remember about the Maji
Maji Rebellion too. This was when black human beings fought against German
imperialists and many of the rebels were nearly wiped out. The Zanzibar
Rebellion was when black people liberated themselves from Arabic and Asian
colonialism and oppression too. Most African Americans are descendants from
West Africans, but some black East Africans were taken into America
involuntarily as well. Also, many of us African Americans do claim Timbuktu
with vigor. In the final analysis, we are all one African people fighting the
nefarious forms of oppression in the world society. Africans and African
Americans all share one humanity and we are all BLACK. SO, OUR BLACKNESS SHOULD BE
HONORED AND RESPECTED.
I heard of the
many black Pan-African heroes before. I now know how much heroic that Blyden was. I am going to make this year, the year of much
more intensive research into our black Pan-Africanist heroes. Also, the lynching
of Qaddafi was immoral. Black men and women were lynched by terrorists too in
Libya (with the sanction of NATO). NATO committed war crimes in Libya too.
Never forget that the Somali's water has been polluted too by Western corporate
interests. You can research that reality too. We can never forget that treason.
When Africans are harmed like that, then we should not omit that. Cynthia
McKinney has amazing research on the crimes in Libya too. The Brother CLR James is a human being to be admired for numerous reasons. Not only did he advocate the West Indies to experience
independence from colonialists. He advocated revolutionary policies to benefit
black humanity. For that, his work and actions ought to be acknowledged
prodigiously. One thought comes to my mind. Many establishment liberals condemn
Black Nationalism in a harsh fashion, because they believe in the lie that Black
Nationalism is solely reactionary, limited in scope, and without a plan. That
is a lie since there are different variations of nationalism. Many black
nationalists are progressive, international in scope, and very wide range. In
other words, black people should control their own communities, but that is not
enough. Black people should not only control their own communities, but we as
blacks should work to radically change society so no one can economically
exploit humanity (and we have to prevent some black people from creating a
reactionary program that will exploit other black people in an evil fashion). There is no true black racial solidarity in capitalism since capitalism is about materialism, consumerism, and the love of profit beyond the love of the people. Pure black nationalism should not be a corporate business. It should be a living philosophy activated in real life that deals with altruism, solidarity, strength, and communal advancement. We should take care of our own people and treat our neighbor as ourselves. The system of white supremacy must be gone and replaced with JUSTICE. Black people have the right fairly enhance our community via revolutionary
solutions. So, we should always know about such revolutionaries like CLR James.
Malcolm X was a great man who represented the revolutionary Black Nationalism
thinking. He grew intellectually to talk about human rights beyond just civil
rights. He became an internationalist. He wanted to internationalize the
struggle as a means to make the United States accountable for its brutal
mistreatment of black Americans (and sent to the United Nations). He realized
that it is the nature of the system that was responsible for the oppression of
African Americans. Malcolm X knew that there can be no true liberation among
black humanity unless Black Unity was first established. Black people have
every right to be organized to fight oppression. So, we see that Malcolm X was
making a transition to organization and to structure as a means to fight for
the liberation of black people. He was developing his own ideas. Malcolm
X wanted to go further. He wanted to revolutionize the struggle by being more
progressive. The learning that black people must fight for freedom in organized
strength is great. Yet, it is not the only step. It is one legitimate step. We
have to deal with social conditions and economic oppression as a means to be
free. The modern capitalist system has been exploitative and modern capitalism
has always been linked to racism. He gave his life as and was courageous to say
the things that he said in 1965 or in the final year of his life.
Kevin Cole has written
an excellent article on Professor Carroll Quigley. Kevin Cole writes about the
rare interview Carroll Quigley had with Rudy Maxa during 1974. Cole makes the
interesting points about how there are many issues that are omitted from the
1975 Washington Post article about the Georgetown University professor of
history Carroll Quigley. His magnum opus “Tragedy and Hope: A History of the
World in Our Time” was published in 1966. It was greatly researched. The deal
is that reactionaries from the John Birch Society and other affiliated groups
as a means to justify paranoid anti-Communist views. In real life, Carroll
Quigley disagreed with that agenda of the JBS. The Washington Post article made the error
of calling Quigley’s works as solely a right wing vs. left wing dichotomy. The
real issue is that the Anglo-American establishment love monopolies of power.
Groups like the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on
Foreign Relations were organized by the Trustees of the Last Will and Testament
of British arch imperialist and DeBeers Diamond Co. founder Cecil John Rhodes.
Quigley said that the reactionaries plagiarized, misinterpreted, and
manipulated his works as a means to formulate their agenda. One example is that
Cleon Skousen was called ignorant by Quigley. Skousen was a Professor of
Religion in Brigham Young University. Gary Allen wrote a book entitled, “None
Dare Call it a Conspiracy.” Quigley claimed that Allen had plagiarized whole
portions of his own book “Tragedy and Hope.” Quigley said that secret societies
are not the same and they are not. Quigley said that the CFR has no direct
origin from the Bavarian Illuminati at all. Quigley accurately points out that
history is not monolithic, but nuanced at times. We know that Skousen and Allen
had ties to the John Birch Society (which has some members that promote the lie
that the Bavarian Illuminati evolved directly in the CFR). The John Birch
Society was founded by Robert W. Welch, and included Fred C. Koch, founder of
Koch Industries (who later resigned) and film and stage director Myron Fagan among
its nearly 100,000 members. Yet, there are secret societies in the world and
secret society history is important to investigate and know about. We know that
the Pilgrim Society was created in 1902 to foster a relationship with English
speaking human beings in dealing with politics, press, education, etc. In the
audio recording Professor Quigley continues, “I knew the Round Table Group was
very influential. I knew that they were the real founders of the Royal
Institute of International Affairs; I knew that…all the stuff that is in print…
that they were the real founders of the Institute of Pacific Relations. I knew
that they were the godfathers of the Council on Foreign Relations here. I knew
that for example, you know the big study of history, many volumes of Arnold
Toynbee? Alright, I knew the manuscripts of that were stored in the Council on
Foreign Relations during the War, so they wouldn’t be destroyed by German
bombings, you see?” “I began to put these things together and I discovered that
this group was working for the following things. They were a secret group. They
were looking to federate the English-speaking world; they were closely linked
to International Bankers, they were working to establish a world….what I call a
three power world…” Quigley learned that the plates to his book had been
destroyed in March of 1974. Carroll Quigley was fearful of not saying certain
words on tape as a means to protect his future (or possibly protect his life).
Kevin Cole did a great job in outlining research about Carroll Quigley and his
research indeed. So, we should investigate these matters and seek the truth
fearlessly.
