Summer 2019 Part 3

D-Day


On this year, it has been 75 years after D-Day. D-Day was one of the most important parts of World War Two. It not only represented the beginning of the end of the Nazi menace. It showed the unity and the strength of the Allied Powers. The Allies from many nations came together for one purpose. That is to enact the liberation of humanity from the Nazi enemy. It took sophisticated planning, military resources, determination, and courage to make D-Day a glorious victory. During this time of 2019, it is also important to remember the people who came upon the shores to defeat the enemy. It is important to understand succinctly that fascism didn’t end in 1945. It continues today not only in Europe, but worldwide. The murderer in New Zealand was a white racist fascist. Fascism is evil, because it denies individual liberty, it is embraced by racists plus xenophobes, and it is antithetical to the democratic freedoms that our ancestors fought for. The democratic freedoms of the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, the right to protest, the right to assemble, the right to religious liberty, and the right to vote are human rights that we cherish.

Therefore, the aim of justice remains. By 1944, the Allied Powers were defeating the Axis Powers in Europe and Asia. The Nazis and the Japanese imperial forces were on the run. After decades of time, we have learned many lessons about World War II. One is that genocide is evil, and that international collaborations for positive things must be advanced. D-Day was a team effort where multiple people worked together in order to ultimately cause France to be liberated from tyranny. From the five Allied beachheads formed in Normandy to the ultimate freedom of Paris including the rest of France, we finally saw the conclusion of the Second World War. A new era was upon the globe. America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Czechoslovakia, France, Norway, and Poland all contributed to the Allied effort. D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion of human history. The Western front would never be the same. On this time, we express solemn gratitude to the heroes who freed the French people.

The Planning

D-Day was a long time in the making. In 1943, Stalin wanted Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt to open a new front in France. America and the Soviets issued a joint announcement of wanting a second front in Europe in late May 1942. The reason was the Soviet troops did most of the fighting in Europe during 1943. Stalin wanted the Nazis to be defeated as soon as possible. Roosevelt sympathized with this view, but Winston Churchill was hesitant. One reason was that Churchill just didn’t trust Stalin, since Churchill hated Communism. Also, Churchill knew of the British soldiers being slaughtered during World War I (via trench warfare, etc). He didn’t want a repeat of that. Churchill believed that the German U-Boats would make it difficult for Allied troops to execute an invasion of Normandy. The Tehran Conference took place on November of 1943. Churchill at first refused to have a new front. In Tehran, Iran, this was the first time when Churchill and Roosevelt met with Stalin face to face. Roosevelt again agreed with Stalin to open up a new front in France. So, Churchill reluctantly agreed with this plan. After the Tehran Conference, Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill issued a joint statement to defeat Nazi Germany. Many plans for the invasion were worked out at the Quebec Conference in August of 1943.

This plan to fight in France was called Operation Overload. Operation Overload involved some of the most experienced generals of the war. American General Dwight D. Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander (or the Supreme headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force leader, SHAEF), and Supreme Commander British General Bernard Montgomery served as commander of the ground forces. General Omar Bradley served as leader of the United States First Army. Operation Overload was a large undertaking. Eisenhower and Montgomery agreed to have five major beach divisions to be involved in the invasion. 21 American divisions, plus 26 British, Canadian, and Polish divisions landed on a 50 mile stretch of beaches in Normandy. This fleet was the largest ever assembled. It was made up of more than 4,400 ships and landing crafts. The Allied Forces used five beaches in Normandy to land the forces. Their names were code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. It involved deception too. The Allied forces formed a fake army under General Patton. The army existed on paper, but the Allies made up a fake headquarters in southeast England across the English Channel (the fake army was at France in Calais). It had wood and cardboard tanks, useless ships, and detectable radio traffic. The Allied forces convinced the Nazis that Calais was would be where an Allied attack would come from (this plan was called Operation Fortitude South). The Nazis sent its top tank division to Calais. Other deception plans were called Operation Fortitude North and Operation Bodyguard.

The Day

On June 6, 1944, the Allies hit German forces. More than 11,000 planes prepared the way. They wanted to destroy German communication and transportation networks. They wanted to soften the Nazi beach defenses first. On the morning of D-Day, General Eisenhower gave the following message to Allied troops: “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward while we have striven these many months…You will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.” Nazi Germany had at its disposal fifty divisions in France and the Low Countries, with another eighteen stationed in Denmark and Norway. Fifteen divisions were in the process of formation in Germany. The bombing of Normandy started by midnight when more than 2,200 British, Canadian, and US bombers attacking targets along the coast and further inland. The coastal bombing attack was largely ineffective at Omaha, because low cloud cover made the assigned targets difficult to see. Concerned about inflicting casualties on their own troops, many bombers delayed their attacks too long and failed to hit the beach defenses. The Germans had 570 aircraft stationed in Normandy and the Low Countries on D-Day, and another 964 in Germany. At 6:30 am, after the rough crossing on the English Channel, the first troops landed. On the four of the beaches, the landings were only lightened opposed. Casualties were low. Yet, at Omaha, one of the two beaches, assigned to American forces, the Nazis showed stiff resistance. On the cliffs overlooking the beach, the Germans had dug trenches and built small concrete pillbox structures from which heavy artillery could be fired. It was a warzone. The Nazis mined the beaches too. When the first American soldiers arrived, they stepped out of their landing crafts into a rainstorm of bullets. Some were victims of shells and died. Some crafts dumped their occupants too far from the beaches. Soldiers with heavy packs sometimes drowned. Omaha, the most heavily defended beach, was assigned to the 1st Infantry Division and 29th Infantry Division.

Pointe du Hoc, a prominent headland situated between Utah and Omaha, was assigned to two hundred men of 2nd Ranger Battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Rudder. Their task was to scale the 30m (100ft) cliffs with grappling hooks, ropes, and ladders to destroy the coastal gun battery located at the top. The cliffs were defended by the German 352nd Infantry Division and French collaborators firing from above. Allied destroyers Satterlee and Talybont provided fire support. After scaling the cliffs, the Rangers discovered that the guns had already been withdrawn. They located the weapons, unguarded but ready to use, in an orchard some 550 meters (600 yd.) south of the point, and disabled them with explosives.  The now-isolated Rangers fended off numerous counter-attacks from the German 914th Grenadier Regiment. The men at the point became isolated and some were captured. By dawn on D+1, Rudder had only 90 men able to fight. Relief did not arrive until D+2, when members of the 743rd Tank Battalion and others arrived. By then, Rudder's men had run out of ammunition and were using captured German weapons. Several men were killed as a result, because the German weapons made a distinctive noise, and the men were mistaken for the enemy. By the end of the battle, the Rangers casualties were 135 dead and wounded, while German casualties were 50 killed and 40 captured. An unknown number of French collaborators were executed.

Yes, many African Americans were involved in D-Day. There was an African American combat unit at D-Day. They experienced brutal fire on June 6, 1944. They were part of 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion. It had infantry troops abroad metal boats. They came on the Normandy coast. Some came by 9 am. Some of the men’s names are George Davison, Wilson Monk, and others. They sent balloons filled with bombs to attack the Nazis. Also, these black soldiers dug trenches, rounded up German prisoners, and fought for their lives literally. Many of them prayed. Overall, more than one million African Americans were in uniform during World War II. Black soldiers fought for freedom and democracy not only overseas. They were fighting for these things in America too as America back then was filled with Jim Crow, lynching, racism, discrimination, and other nefarious evils. This is why black people advanced the Double V movement, which wanted freedom overseas and at home in America. So, black men and black women were very active in the events of World War II. The Armed Forces was segregated in the United States of America until after World War II.

Many of these African American soldiers involved in D-Day were trained at Wales, UK. By the end of the day of June 6, 1944, about 2,000 black Americans landed in Normandy. They were gunners, engineers, and stevedores. They saved lives.  Waverly Bernard "Woody" Woodson, Jr. was of the 320th (he was born in Philadelphia), and he saved dozens of lives.  Waverly Woodson Jr. lived from 1922-2005. General Dwight D. Eisenhower praised the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion for doing an excellent job in their mission. The author Linda Hervieux wrote a recent book entitled, “Forgotten: The Untold Story of D-Day’s Black Heroes, at Home and at War” which documents the story of the only African American combat unit to land on D-Day. This book shows the heroism of black Americans and all freedom loving people. The battalion served 140 days in France. In late July 1944, Battery A of the 320th moved from Omaha Beach to the port city of Cherbourg. The remaining three batteries stayed on Omaha and Utah Beaches until early October, when deteriorating weather prevented ships from landing. The battalion’s service in France came to and end on October 24, 1944, when the men boarded ships bound for England. By the end of October 1944, the 320th VLA Battalion was on its way back to Camp Stewart, Georgia, to train for service in the Pacific Theater. They eventually made it as far as Hawaii before the war ended." Corporal William G. Dabney was one of the last surviving members of this unit, and received the French Legion of Honor in 2009 for his participation in the Invasion of Normandy. He passed away in December 2018.

Many Americans saw their last day on Earth during D-Day. Some survived. By the end of the day, the Allies gained a foothold in France. By the end of the month, more than one million Allied troops had landed in Normandy. The sacrifice of the Allied heroes who liberated many peoples are always remembered by us. Victory was clear.

Aftermath

D-Day was one of the greatest Allied victories of World War II. D-Day resulted in almost 5,000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers participating. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on D-Day with 875,000 people disembarking by the end of June 1944. Thousands of people died. The victory at Normandy existed because of numerous reasons. The Nazis didn’t finish the Atlantic Wall. Deceptions existed via Operation Fortitude that worked to confuse the German forces. The Allies created air supremacy in the battle. The Nazis couldn’t stop the Allied bomber attacks either. Later, the Allied forces pursued all the way into Berlin to end the Nazi enemy once and for all. The aftermath of D-Day also included the ultimate liberation of France. Belgium was liberated as well. The Soviets was coming to Berlin from the east. The Soviets made the Nazis retreat from Latvia, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary. The Nazis lost battles regularly late in the war. The Allied forces in the West liberated Paris on August of 1944. Hitler ordered his generals to destroy Paris, but they refused in their retreat. The people of Paris celebrated the Allied victory. The Americans defeated the Nazis again in the bloody Battle of the Budge. Ultimately, the Nazis surrendered by May 7, 1945 in the VE Day event (or Victory in Europe). The end of World War II existed by September 2, 1945 after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (by 2 atomic weapons. I fundamental disagree with the bombings of those 2 cities in Japan). With World War II ending, the world changed in having more technological developments and a fundamental international transformation on how the world operated.

Reunions and Tributes

There are numerous war memorials and remembrances of what took place on D-Day. At Omaha Beach, many parts of the Mulberry harbor are still visible. Some of the beach obstacles still remain. A memorial to the U.S. National Guard is located at a former German strong point. Pointe du Hoc is little changed from 1944, with the terrain covered with bomb craters and most of the concrete bunkers still in place. The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is nearby, in Colleville-sur-Mer. A museum about the Utah landings is located at Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, and there is one dedicated to the activities of the US airmen at Sainte-Mère-Église. Pegasus Bridge, a target of the British 6th Airborne, was the site of some of the earliest action of the Normandy landings. The bridge was replaced in 1994 by one similar in appearance, and the original is now housed on the grounds of a nearby museum complex. Sections of Mulberry Harbor B still sit in the sea at Arromanches, and the well-preserved Longues-sur-Mer battery is nearby. The Juno Beach Center, opened in 2003, was funded by the Canadian federal and provincial governments, France, and Canadian veterans.
President Ronald Reagan gave his famous speech about the sacrifice of Allied soldiers on the 40th anniversary of D-Day. He spoke in front of an audience of D-Day veterans and world leaders. He was at the site of the U.S. Ranger Monument at Pointe du Hoc. Other heads of state and government officials on that day in 1984 included: Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands, King Olav V of Norway, King Baudouin I of Belgium, Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg, and Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau of Canada. This took place in 1984. The speech was written by Peggy Noonan.

Reagan introduced his speech in the following words: “...We're here to mark that day in history when the Allied armies joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty. For 4 long years, much of Europe had been under a terrible shadow. Free nations had fallen, Jews cried out in the camps, millions cried out for liberation. Europe was enslaved, and the world prayed for its rescue. Here in Normandy the rescue began. Here the Allies stood and fought against tyranny in a giant undertaking unparalleled in human history…” Other Presidents gave tribute to the heroic sacrifices of Allies troops at D-Day as well.

Now, we remember the sacrifice of heroes in order to be further inspired to advocate for freedom in our generation.

Eric Jon Phelps Exposed



This work is plainly about telling the truth without compromise. For years, Eric Jon Phelps expressed information about his views in the Roman Catholic Church, especially on the Jesuits. While I have ideological and religious disagreements with the Vatican (which will be shown here in full detail with sources), I deplore racism. Eric advances blatant racism and believing in the myth plus the lie of white supremacy (as tons of black people plus other people of color displayed intellectual greatness throughout the ages of human history from Maya Angelou to Garrett Morgan). In this following work, I will not only expose the myth of white supremacy. Additionally, I will advocate for solutions too. Exposing evil and outlining resolutions are key acts for anyone to enact. The truth is that there is always greatness in Blackness, and it is our responsibility to expose police brutality (when police brutality, discrimination, racism, and hate crimes have harmed the lives of black people globally), and stand up for human justice. Eric Jon Phelps believes in outlandish theories. Disturbingly, Eric defends slavery, supports Jim Crow, agrees with the existence of the Confederacy (so, he's a neo-Confederate. He wants an all-white state to exist in America), and hates the Civil Rights Movement. These facts alone should make any person (especially a black person) to reject his views 100%. Eric Jon Phelps exploits religious divisions found in the world as an excuse for him to promote bigotry. People can agree or disagree with a religion. That's fine. It is not right for anyone to hate someone because of their race, sex, religion, or background. There is no question that he has deceived others and ignores the Calvinists' murder of Michael Servetus. Eric is a radical pro-Calvinist, and his views aren't representative of mainstream Calvinists. Therefore, his evil and deplorable views are part of the alt right, white nationalist movement. It is what it is. We will always advance human justice and liberation.

Racism Condemned

Racism must be condemned, and all forms of oppression must be condemned as well. It is important to define what racism is too. Racism is the lie that one’s skin color (or someone's phenotype) determines inferiority or superiority. Racism is also not just individual oppression or calling someone slurs (which are wrong). Racism is additionally a systematic form of oppression against human beings based upon color. It can be overt, covert, and exist in a diversity of other forms. Therefore, racism can be shown by the Klan and by someone with a suit and tie. Racism is linked to xenophobia, capitalism, patriarchal supremacism, and other evil views. Microaggressions deal with racism as well. In essence, racism is about control over others unjustly for the purpose of promoting hegemony. The first humans never existed in Asia, Europe, or in the Americas. Scientifically, the first humans existed in Africa. Homo sapiens migrated from Africa into the four corners of the world for thousands of years. Also, white skin doesn’t impact intelligence. Race is not genetic but a social construct.  The results of a 2002 study by Noah Rosenberg and showed that differences among individuals account for a 93-95 percent of all genetic variation. Morton promoted the unscientific doctrine of “scientific racism.” In June 2000, when the results of assembling the first complete human genome were announced at a White House ceremony, Craig Venter, a pioneer of DNA sequencing, observed, “The concept of race has no genetic or scientific basis.” Biologically, all humans are closely related. Everyone has the same collection of genes with the exception of identical twins; everyone has slightly different versions of some of them. Science teaches us that melanin can protect the human skin from damaging sunlight. Also, many genes affect how melanin colors the human skin. There is a lot of cultural, genetic, and linguistic diversity in Africa as well.

There are tons of examples of excellence achievements of black people throughout the world. They include the following facts:

1. Patricia Bath is an American ophthalmologist, inventor, and humanitarian plus academic. She was the first African American woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. Ashe created the laserphaco probe or a medical device that improves the usage of lasers to remove cataracts and to remove cataract lenses. She has five patents. 

2. Elijah Preccieley was 11 years old when he was accepted into Southern University Honors College. Now, he is starting his freshman year in college at 11 years old.

3. Many Nigerians in Nigeria and in America have a high amount of doctorate degrees.

4.  Mareena Robinson Snowden walked across the commencement stage at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on June 8 and became the first Black woman to earn a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from the university (when she was 30 years old).

5. The 16 year old teenager Haley Taylor Schlitz is accepted into nine law schools in 2019.

6. Sister Jeanette J. Epps is a great black woman. Throughout her life, she has loved STEM fields and space exploration. She is in NASA as well. She is an aerospace engineer and a great astronaut. She was born in Syracuse, New York. She graduated from Le Moyne College with a bachelor in science degree in physics, and earned an M.S. and a Ph.D in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. She is living her dream, and we wish the best for her.

7. Toni Harris is the first black woman and non kicker to receive a full college football scholarship (in playing for a majority men football team). Toni Harris is the second woman to play football via a scholarship. She became the first woman to ever play for East Los Angeles College. She represents the Dream of so many. In our time, we are blessed enough to witness history.

8. Dr. Aprille J Ericsson-Jackson is a legend. In her youth, she loved STEM fields. She was born in 1963. She is an American aerospace engineer. She was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. She received her Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Masters of Engineering and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace from Howard University. She was the first female to receive a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Howard University and the first African-American female to receive a Ph.D. in engineering at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. She won many awards including the 1997 "Women in Science and Engineering" award for the best female engineer in the federal government, and she is currently the instrument manager for a proposed mission to bring dust from the Martian lower atmosphere back to Earth. She love athletics (I saw a video of her playing basketball) and she loves to help humanity graciously.

9. Robert P. Pinckney '52, SM '56 earned both his Bachelor's (1952) and his Master's (1956) in Electrical Engineering from MIT. By 1969, he was working on the Apollo Project as a project engineer on the Digital Computation Group operations staff.

10. Isaiah M. Blankson '69, MS '70, PhD '73 has had a NASA career spanning over a quarter century. Nicknamed the "Speed Demon," he is internationally known for his expertise in hypersonics/aerodynamics and propulsion.

His Inaccuracies

There are tons of inaccuracies that Eric Jon Phelps has shown in his literature, interviews, and other parts of his website. Today, we live in a new generation, and the truth is coming about constantly about the greatness of human history plus the greatness of black culture. The following information exposes the inaccuracies that Eric Jon Phelps has shown for decades.

1. Eric defends the overt Episcopal, rumored closet Roman Catholic (by the end of his death), and Order of Cincinnati member George Washington. P.D. Stuart’s “Codeword Baerbelon” exposes the truth. George Washington was a slave owner, and he believed in white supremacy. He wanted to advance a nation that was headed only by white people, and he refused to even allow black soldiers to fight in the American side of the American Revolutionary War. Therefore, George Washington wasn't a hero of true democracy. He was a total enemy of authentic freedom and justice. He never freed people that he enslaved while he was alive. Despite what Eric says, George Washington wasn’t a Baptist. Throughout his life, George Washington was a dedicated member of the Church of England. The Church of England dominated Virginia until the late 1700’s. People like James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson were of diverse religious views. Jefferson, as we know, didn't believe in mainstream Christianity. Jefferson was a Deist who didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. He viewed Jesus as a great philosopher like Socrates. Eric is a hypocrite for claiming to disagree with Freemasonry, but his idol George Washington was a Freemason. He died a Mason in the year of 1799.

2. He believes in the myth of a flat Earth. He even believes that images of the spherical Earth have been photoshopped or faked. Obviously, the Earth is spherical and multiple scientific research and satellite imagery prove that.

3. He defends the Confederacy. The Confederacy defended slavery and wanted black people to not have equal rights. The person who created the Confederate flag wanted white supremacy. Also, Eric believes in slavery. Slavery is immoral and evil period. Black people were raped, lynched, assaulted, and murdered during the Maafa and the antebellum period of American history. Eric Jon Phelps is totally reprehensible to defend slavery.

4. Eric claimed that Ludwig Beck was a Lutheran who led the Operation Valkyrie to kill Hitler. Beck was really a Roman Catholic.

5. Eric claims that South Africa, Rhodesia, Canada, and the United States were historic Protestant nations. That isn’t true since the original inhabitants of those places weren’t Protestants but black people or people of color (like the Native Americans). There is nowhere in the Constitution that cited America as a Protestant nation. The Constitution is clear to ban a religious test for those who want to hold public office. Also, the Constitution promotes no establishment of religion. It allows the free expression of any religion or no religion. In fact, many people like Jefferson were Deists and didn't agree with mainstream Christianity. Religious freedom is permitted in many nations. Rhodesia doesn’t exist anymore. Zimbabwe exists, and Rhodesia is a coded term that white supremacists use regularly.

6. He condemns anti-Semitism, but makes up falsehoods about the Middle East. He ignores the plight of the Palestinian people. He said that the Temple Mount was deeded in September 1993 to the pope. It is in fact managed by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.

7. A lot of people don’t know how vicious the Roman Catholic Church was trying to suppress the translation of the Bible in diverse languages centuries ago. A lot of people take for granted how many people shed blood for our right to believe in what we want to believe. Back in 1215, Pope Innocent III issued a law banning the translation of the Bible into diverse languages. The Council of Toulouse in 1229 banned laity to possess or read the vernacular translation of the Bible. The Council of Trent in 1546 banned translations of the Bile into other languages (like German, Spanish, English, etc.) without a license form a Catholic bishop or inquisitor. Peter Waldo was persecuted for translating the New Testament into the Romanist language. His followers were called the Waldensians. By the 1200’s, the Waldensians rejected purgatory, believed in the universal priesthood of all believers, and rejected materialism. They were persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. In 1211, more than 80 Waldensians were burned at Strasbourg. William Tyndale was the first person to translate the English Bible from Greek and Hebrew. He was persecuted.

Tyndale was imprisoned and sent to the castle at Vilvorde, Belgium for 16 month. He died on October 6, 1536 after being strangled plus burned at the stake. It wasn’t just the Roman Catholics complicit in persecution, but some Protestants persecuted Anabaptists and Baptists for a long time too. Many Protestants wanted religious liberty form Roman Catholicism, but some didn’t give liberty to others. These people were the Anabaptists and Baptists who rejected infant baptism, they believed in a separation of church and state, and they desired a simplistic formation of the church infrastructure. There is no moral justification for persecuting those who disagree with you at any circumstance. Even Jesus Christ said to his disciples to be harmless like doves in Matthew 10:16. Conrad Grebel and Felix Manz rejected infant baptism. George Cajacob did the same. These men were Anabaptists from Switzerland. Also, many Calvinists oppressed Anabaptists and other religious dissidents.

The reformer Zwingli promoted the city council’s edict against the Anabaptists. Grebel and Manz were thrown into prison. Felix Manz was murdered too by drowning. The Anabaptists and the Baptists believe in baptism by immersion of adults or people who are old enough to know of the faith which is scriptural. Even many Baptists were imprisoned in Virginia by the Church of England centuries ago because of their religious beliefs. Back then, many Baptists in England and in America refused to pay taxes to state backed churches. This was one of the major reasons why the Virginian law promoting religious liberty was created by the late 1700’s. Now, it is also important to note that the persecution of Baptists was wrong and some (not all Baptists) Baptists supporting slavery back then was wrong too. I do agree with Baptists on believing in the separation of church and state, the universal priesthood of believers, the memorial of communion being symbolic, and no infant baptism. Many of my family members are Baptists. We have to learn the comprehensive look at history in order to get things right in the future.

Epilogue

Eric Jon Phelps' lies are not new. They come from the same racists who enslaved my ancestors. They come from the same people who advance Jim Crow and lynching too. So, our job must not only combat Phelps' deceptions, but to use our talent in enriching our communities. We have one life to live. We make our lives better by sincerely helping human beings. Altruism is right, because we are our brother's and sister's keepers. Black history is made all of the time in the present too. Black scientists, writers, lawyers, politicians, and teachers are making great history constantly in enriching the human race. Permanently, I will always love black women, who are the backbones of our community and the Mothers of the Human Race. In order to be a revolutionary or a freedom lover, you have to honor black women. Black is Beautiful. That righteous message is not only glorious and true. It is the sacrosanct message that gives people strength and confidence to move into the direction of freedom and justice. This is what we want as black people. We want to have independence and justice to live our lives without malice but with compassion, honor, and integrity. I always love my melanin. I love my Blackness and I love Africa. We are in this together, which means that unity makes us stronger and loving our black African heritage is a prerequisite for spiritual, physical, and emotional liberation. Yes, BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL.
