The George Zimmermann Trial

The George Zimmerman trial is an important trial. It deals with the family of Trayvon Martin and them having the right to receive closure including justice. Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin are our heroes. Thank you Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton for using your strength and courage as a means for you to fight the good fight for human civil liberties and justice. Thank you for sacrificing your time and efforts in making us know further that black life is human life and our lives are important. We have every right to endorse the principle that all men are innocent until proven guilty and that no innocent human being should suffer stop and frisk, especially without probable cause or without a just reason. Many have shown the stats and other evidence to document the fallibility of stop and frisk. So, we should all fight for justice, for human liberty, and for mutual toleration for all human life. RIP Trayvon Martin.
For centuries, our people suffered through oppression and murder (especially by crooked cops and fake cop vigilantes). The prosecution and the defense teams in this case have fought each other tooth in nail as a means to find information that validates each other's own positions. I think that the Newsone website did a great in showing information about the case and they ought to be given praise in their actions of showing the world about the numerous facets of the George Zimmerman trial. A denial of justice for Trayvon Martin means that more police and other evil souls will try to execute potentially more extrajudicial murders against human beings. We know that after the trial, we have to cause a revolutionary change in preventing not only police brutality, but racial profiling including the murder of innocent black human beings in the streets. The fact is that George Zimmerman was told by the operator to not follow Trayvon Martin. He did follow the young teenager still, a fight came about, and Travyon Martin was murdered with one bullet wound to the chest. Trayvon Martin was murdered by George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012. Zimmerman was called by the defense as being soft, but he was trained for a while in MMA (in 6 hours a week in fight school. The defense is tried to portray Zimmerman as totally weak physically, which is not the case at all) and he assaulted a woman before. Well, he is soft morally for assaulting a woman though. George Zimmerman had an old Myspace page where he wrote a racist rant, which falsely linked Mexican Americans collectively to crime. He said that every Mexican he meets pulls knives on him, which is racial profiling. They found no skin, bruises or blood on Trayvon Martin during the autopsy, which is evidence that Trayvon Martin was not the aggressor according to the

family of Trayvon Martin. Samford, Florida is the location of Martin's death. George Zimmerman is a 21st century vigilante like the old slavery era patrollers. We know the truth about the case. Trayvon Martin violated no laws while he was walking from the store. The unarmed Martin tried to flee Zimmerman. Zimmerman pursued him and a fight came about. Trayvon Martin had every right to defend himself from being assaulted by Zimmerman. Zimmerman should be found guilty of many charges and Zimmerman had no reason to stalk Trayvon Martin at all. Now, we see that Trayvon Martin was put on trial not Zimmerman by some in the media including the defense team. George Zimmerman had a gun and Martin was unarmed. Rachel Jeantel was attacked in the most vicious fashion, but Zimmerman's contradictory testimonies and views had been ignored by the defense and others. It was by the strength and courage of Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Zimmerman would never have been charged. How can you curse a young teenage on the phone and then deny you have any malice intent on the shooting of Trayvon Martin? Zimmerman said that the screaming doesn't sound like him is very interesting. Later, he says that it is his voice explicitly, which makes him a liar. It seems like the switching of views by some is making the case more apparently clear. George Zimmerman is the type of sociopath that thinks that it is the will of God to murder a child. We know that the reactionary Florida Stand Your Ground law is a throwback to the laws of the 18th century militia that harmed black communities in early America. We must never give the enemy the

right to shoot anyone for almost any reason. The tactic of the enemy is to make the victim the criminal and the criminal the victim as Malcolm X said decades ago. That is why
the enemy obsessed with Martin's grades, possible drug use, education, etc. which has no relevance in the case. The case is about the incident at hand not Trayvon Martin's grades at all. Trayvon Martin's murder was an open attack on the black community. According to the Malcolm X Grassroots

Movement, about 300 black people have been murdered in the same manner of extrajudicial murder since Trayvon Martin was killed.
The jury has decided on the Zimmerman trial. Now, we should continue to fight for truth. The reactionaries lied and predicted massive riots in America. We know that to be a lie since most folks have been peaceful. Human beings have every right to protest about injustices in our community and to protest for the justice of the late Trayvon Martin. Many cities across the nation in San Francisco, New York, Sanford, Florida, Chicago, Los Angeles, and other places of the world have folks protesting for justice for the family of Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin is not here, but his memory lives on in us. We can respect

his memory by doing the right thing. We can advocate ending unjust laws like Stand Your Ground. We can work to build up our communities and fight against violence including police brutality. We can go out and mentor the young as a means to fulfill their true potential. We should boycott in firm strategic ways that deal with ALEC or those that benefit from George Zimmerman's agenda. We may lost a battle, but we will not lose the war. In the end, we will be victorious. Yet, we have to work and work. We have a responsibility in the world to focus our energy to radically change society. We all realize the disparities that exist in the criminal justice system. We see many brothers and sisters in jail for huge time for Stand Your Ground related issues. We have seen the War on Drugs harm our communities harshly. Also, many humans of many ethnicities and backgrounds protested against the verdict and want justice for Trayvon Martin. That truth ought to be known here. Robert Zimmerman has the same agenda as his brother. He is a
hypocrite by complaining about vigilantes, but his brother acted as a known vigilante. He ignores the corrupt system in the judicial sphere and other spheres of the nation as an excuse to justify his brother's actions. His tweet outlines the views of Robert. In the final analysis, folks like Robert could care less about our people. They only want blacks to be docile, compromising, weak, and aligned with the system. The system is corrupt to the core, so we should make a better system in the replacement of the current evil system. PS. One of Robert's biggest lies is that he said that America has the best judicial system in the world. Remember Lester Chambers being assaulted on stage for just singing a song in favor of Trayvon Martin recently.

Have Faith, Have Hope, and Do Action

*We do not need the tranquilizing drug of gradualism in society at all. That means that we should have freedom now and fight for freedom now. Gradualism prolongs oppression in the daily lives of Americans. We have seen time go from 1963 to 2013. We share many of the same issues from then and now. We live in some new political context, but we have the same system of oppression in the world. As human beings, we have the right to pressure the government including the world society as a means to respect our Black demands. For decades, the political establishment refuses to propose potent, substantive legislative initiatives to address our suffering today (except in small exceptions). The old marchers are right that we should continue to fight for jobs and justice. We are never in a post racial society to begin with. We do not experience a post racial society especially when we see the current President viciously being attacked by reactionaries beyond just policy disagreements. We do not have such a society when the President on many times has to use many deracialized speeches as a means to make the masses comfortable with the compromising aesthetic. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rejected the tactic of gradualism as a means to get freedom. We know that Dr. King was a revolutionary, especially in the late 1960's. We know that many reactionaries have hijacked, compromised, and relegated his agenda to just that of a dreamer. They omit that Dr. King was also a man who wanted to use radical means to fight oppression and racism. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. criticized capitalism, wanted economic justice, and disagreed with war. We still have huge problems with civil liberties, education, health, the economy, and unemployment in the black American community. The unemployment rate in the African American community is more than double the national average and the wealth accumulation of the average European American family is 20 times that of the average African American family. After 50 years, we still have to address issues of the evils of police brutality, evil, radical cuts to social programs, jobs, etc. Back in 1963, various organizations use many political, social, and economic actions as a means to advocate legislation to Congress. There were nonviolent direct action and a demand to end racial discrimination in America. There were boycotts too. The 2013 March on Washington had great sincere human beings dedicated to justice in that arena. They made a huge tribute to the past efforts of heroes who some gave up their lives as a means for their descendant to live in a more just world. Yet, some today (including those in the March. Many speakers and leaders of the 2013 March on Washington were political imperialists, worldly celebrities, and other establishment political figures. At least the gracious Sister Bernice King has the strength to talk about Syria though) fail to articulate a legislative agenda or pressure the government to address police brutality, imperialism, disparities in other arenas too (like in mass incarceration, home foreclosure, unemployment, or education). Therefore, we have work to do. We have to speak out against imperialism and the evil system of white supremacy. We have to condemn evils

in the world and condemn the terrorism from the CIA, the FBI, the DHS, and other nefarious organizations. We can never be token conservatives or token liberals. We should be revolutionary independent human beings. Malcolm X was a revolutionary not a social Democrat. Malcolm X disagreed with imperialism, capitalism, and any form of injustice against any human being. We have to address the suffering of humanity today and fight for real change in the world. Today, many heroes now are protesting, boycotting, and doing what is right. Their actions ought to be respected and we should never embrace the tranquilizing drug of gradualism as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. so eloquently mentioned before in the past. We should advance social and economic justice including peace.

ALEC and Stand Your Ground

One of the greatest enemies today is ALEC. This group is called the American Legislative Exchange Council. It is the reactionary group that has corporate backing. It tries to pass laws by recruiting members of the local government. ALEC helped to craft the evil Stand Your Grand law. This law is the basis a lot of human beings dying under controversial circumstances. The reactionaries tried to originally use Stand Your Ground as a justification for the evil murder of the unarmed 17 year old Trayvon Martin by the murderer (and assaulter of a woman) George Zimmerman. The President of the National Urban League named Marc Morial focused his attention to oppose ALEC. He wants that ALEC's corporate partners denounce the group. The good news is that some of its major supporters are withdrawing from the group. Morial said the following:

"...There needs to be sunlight on what theyre doing, which what theyre doing is creating model legislation and spread the poison of stand your ground all over the nation. Those who support ALEC should withdraw from ALEC because this kind of thing and the use of stand your ground is why at the very instance the law enforcement there in Sanford, Florida, did not arrest George Zimmerman as they should have, at the very inception..."
In the months after the killing of Trayvon Martin, over 46 groups like Wal Mart, Miller Coors, Best Buy, McDonalds, and Coca-Cola dropped their ALEC memberships. Stand Your Ground is not the only

controversial law that ALEC has peddled to state legislators. The group has been responsible for

bills that block workers from getting paid sick leave, efforts to stop whistleblowers trying to expose horrific agricultural practices, and other bills (mean to stop environmental regulation, etc.). They are financially tied to the Koch Brothers, who are billionaires who made their fortune in the oil industry. ALEC funded some of the toughest sentencing laws in America. These laws benefit the prison industrial complex not the common people in the world. ALEC worked to pass the Truth in Sentencing Act in 25 states by 1995. They
worked to pass laws to grow the private for profit prisons. In These Times, they made an investigation to reveal that ALEC arranged secret meetings between Arizonas state legislators and CCA to draft what became SB 1070, Arizonas notorious immigration law. We have the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to approve the investigation of racial bias in Stand Your Ground laws (which ALEC and the NRA sponsored). A 2012 study found that defendants invoking the defense that they were standing their ground are significantly more likely to prevail if the victim was black. Other research has found that states with Stand Your Ground laws have more homicides, and that the laws do not deter crime at all. So, the struggle continues. We should fight for a real quality of life. The death of Trayvon Martin is a part of the huge evidence of the extrajudicial killings of black people. It is so bad that about 313 black people have been killed in extrajudicial killings in 2012 alone. That is one in every 28 hours. Zimmerman's acquittal should wake up folks. If this doesn't wake up

the sellouts, then nothing will. The verdict showed the world how racists views black human beings. It showed the world that the enemy is the enemy and we must unite in common cause to make solutions. It showed the world that we as blacks are up against racism straight up. Some want to have a new civil rights movement, but the movement never died. It just grew. The jury believed that Zimmerman
is innocent of second degree murder and manslaughter. Zimmerman had a history of racial profiling, assault, and possible child molestation. That makes him a degenerate and a man who is low in character. Zimmerman was an armed man with a gun and he stalked Trayvon in a threatening way. If he had followed the 911 operator's words, Trayvon Martin would have been alive today. These injustices are common in my community. The justice system is corrupt and wrong. Even a study entitled, "Operation Ghetto Storm" from the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement document this oppression against our community. The report found that a black man, woman, or child was executed by the police (including some security guards and self-appointed vigilantes) every 36 hours. These killings out pretext or legal consequences are like Jim Crow laws. The judicial system's racism is shown by Zimmerman's initial release without any charges filed. If Trayvon Martin can die, we can die in such a manner. It is a disgrace. State sanctioned murder has been commonplace since the inception of America. The Sanford police did a lot of corrupt actions and in the near future, I will mention their acts more. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee was forced to resign, because of the death of Trayvon Martin. Now, the Federal Justice Department's Civil Rights Division opened an investigation to the killing. The enemy wants to change tactics as a means to contain popular revolt. The system of racial oppression in the world is strong, but our values are stronger than their evil. Mass organizing and unity are ways to start to fight back against evils. We need to end the reign of the economic elite harming the human race in the world. Mass actions for justice for Trayvon and all victims of abuse can bear fruit. We can win without fear via mobilization and organization. We must have Unity. We should be strategic also. We should be wise and act fairly in the Earth. We should also expose and oppose the evil actions from the corporate Democratic and Republican parties as well. We know that imperialism is immoral, corporate crime is evil, and we understand that warrantless wiretapping is still inappropriate. So, it is a continued fight for real justice for the entire human race. Also, Stand Your Ground is beyond simple self-defense. Many defectors of the law question many aspects of the law. The law advances vigilantism and has been ambiguously used in the criminal justice system. A recent study out of Texas A&M University found an 8 percent increase in homicides over a tenyear period in states with Stand Your Ground style laws in place. Another study by the Urban Institute found twice as many homicides are deemed justifiable in Stand Your Ground states. The studies found no reason to think the laws do anything to reverse the large racial disparities that exist when homicides

are ruled justifiable, and some evidence they actually worsen the gap. Nor was any evidence found that Stand Your Ground laws deter burglary, robbery, or assault in a radical fashion. There are many laws that permit legal self-defense before SYG existed. Zimmerman was not tried under SYG, but he supports it. This is not smoke and mirrors. It is about disagreeing with the extrajudicial murder of young, innocent black human beings like Trayvon Martin has experienced. There are many folks across the spectrum of the gun debate that have reservations about certain aspects of SYG. Racial discrimination and a racist criminal justice system are still realities in America. If someone denies these realities, then that person is a liar.

Juror B37 and Juror B29

Folks are talking about the juror B37. She admitted her agenda in her interview with Anderson Cooper. She said that George Zimmerman was justified in killing Trayvon Martin since he had Stand Your Ground legal justification, but that law should not be used in the case. The case dealt with self-defense laws in the state of Florida. She is a mother. She only spoke for herself. She wanted to have book deal, but one hero from Twitter (who is a Sister) prevented that since she was profiting from another human's death that was not her son. Her husband was a lawyer. She claimed that she knew nothing of the case and there were riots. She called Trayvon Martin a "boy of colour," so we can see her agenda a mile away. She gets her news from The Today show and does not trust Internet news. She should have not been a juror in the first

place, because of her huge bias. During the trial, she thought that one of George Zimmerman's friends was the medical examiner. She falsely believed that it was a Stand Your Ground case. She used the testimony that the judge told her to disregard and she was extremely confused by the laws she had to apply. She believed Chris Serino and not Rachel Jeantel. Jeantel was the closest that we have seen to Martin's side of the story. She believed that Zimmerman was not a wannabe cop, but he was overeager to help people. So, she believed in Zimmerman's story throughout the trial. She denied that race played a role in the case when the authorities made sure that there were no black jurors were in the trial. Juror B29 was an Afro-Puerto Rican juror. As Trojan Pam eloquently written before, juror B29 was made a scapegoat instead of the corrupt judicial system that caused the Zimmerman verdict to exist in the first place.

President Barack Obamas Historic Speech on Trayvon Martin & Race

President Barack Obama gave a historic speech on the African American experience and Trayvon Martin. It was a great speech by him. It was the most pro-African American speech that he has ever given in his administration. He should be respected on the commentary that he has gotten correct on his speech. He drew parallels between Trayvon Martin and his life, which is accurate. He was right to say that if he had a son, it would have been Trayvon. In his recent speech, he is accurate to say that he could have been Trayvon 35 years ago. I am a black man and I could tell you stories about my family facing discrimination and one member of my family facing racial profiling by the police. These stories are very common in the African American community. Racists downplay these stories as a means to cause lies and dissension in America. The reality is that racism is a serious problem in America. Poverty and corporate corruption are still serious issues in the world not only in America. So, we if want solutions, then we have to be honest and be compassionate toward the sufferings of African Americans. He is the first African American President. He or Obama wanted Americans to learn the stories from a diverse amount of Americans. So, we know the enemy. We know that we have to end the Stand Your Ground,

laws end the War on Drugs, and to use policies to end the discriminatory policies against Black and Brown citizens of America (which is a travesty). He or the President should be commended for outlining the oppressive system that still plagues America.

This doesn't mean that the administration should have a pass on other issues (like on foreign policy, civil liberties, neoliberalism, which I disagree strongly with the administration on) or that the administration is perfect. It does mean that we should continue to fight against racial oppression and a form of injustice inflicting the human race in general. Still, the legal system does not treat all human beings equally under the law. We have
the stats to prove it. The reactionaries have no basis in criticizing Obama's speech (on its accurate parts) since they offer no real solutions, except scapegoating the black community for problems in America (or they believe in the myth that the free market or privatization can solve all issues in the world. The free market is not perfect since markets are devised by man. The imperfections of man can cause humans to readily manipulate markets and markets have finite power and reach. Readily, markets grow economic and social inequality since markets cant reach all humans in a fair fashion. In the final analysis, humans should be liberated beyond materialism). Obama is right to say that selfdefense must never be used to downplay racial injustice. We need social development and real institutions to address these issues. There should be action by individuals, local, state, and federal governments as a means to have justice a reality. We should give real opportunities to human beings, so they can achieve their goals and potentials. Also, black human beings have the right to advance their interests publicly and have their own infrastructure (including independence, which deals with selfsufficiency. I hate cartel-capitalism obviously, but self-sufficiency among the black community is not a sin). President Barack Obama said a beautiful tribute to Trayvon Martin and his family. I wish Trayvon Martin was alive. It is a shame that I am older than Trayvon Martin and I get to see a

longer life than him. So, we should continue in fighting against evils. The struggle continues.

If we want to be free, we have to realize that the criminal justice system is corrupt and blatantly racist. We have to realize that racial profiling of human beings is evil and unwarranted. Racial profiling is against human rights and it is against the constitutional right of banning unreasonable search and seizures. Case closed. Stop and frisk effects mostly innocent human beings in NYC in the realm of almost 90%. You should be judged on the content of your character not on the color of your skin. No, I will never let pundits make me feel ashamed of being black. I will never be made a scapegoat for the great crimes of Western society. Most of us are not criminals. We are humans. We should be treated just the same. If these journalists think like this, then imagine what they think in private. Injustice should be opposed and justice ought to reign in the world. Even President Barack Obama was accurate to mention the following: The African-American community is also knowledgeable that there is a history of racial disparities in the application of our criminal laws, Obama said, everything from the death penalty to enforcement of our drug laws. And that ends up having an impact in terms of how people interpret the case." There is a huge racial disparity in Stand your Ground laws. When it deals with on white on black incidents, then the jury will find them much more justifiable than black on black including black on white. The stop and frisk actions of young black men is evil. In May of 2013, the Public Advocate for New York put out a report detailing the way that the citys controversial Stop-and-Frisk policy is unevenly applied. Not only did it find that Blacks and Latinos make up, on average, 85 percent of stops under the program, but it also conveyed exactly how skewed those numbers are compared to the citys demographics. They found that the city is only 25 percent black and 29 percent Hispanic (including 33 percent white and 13 percent other). The number of White drug users is about the same as the number of Black users but you wouldnt know it from the arrest statistics. In recent history, Black people have been four times as likely to be arrested on marijuana charges. In Texas, about 40 percent of death row inmates are Black. Texas accounts for the most executions in the nation. Similar statistics are nationwide where black inmates make up a huge, disproportionate number of those sentenced to death despite the black population having a small population in the States. So, this disparity is astounding and disturbing. A lot of folks

across backgrounds want justice for Trayvon Martin and an end to the evil criminal justice system that is blatantly racist. Many House Republicans have done extreme by dumping the food stamp program on many levels, loving the assaults on voting rights, and celebrating the tragic Trayvon Martin murder verdict. This proves that bigotry is still here. Many of these small government conservatives and libertarians want to cuts food stamps as a means to benefit agribusiness. So, the GOP shows government favoritism for the wealthy and cruelty toward the poor. In real life, I saw a nice couple in a grocery store just

using food stamps to pay food for their family. This stuff makes me angry since they or some members of the GOP could give a single concern about the poor and those suffering in the economy. This piece of work Rep. Stephen Fincher tries to justify the poor to starve
when Jesus Christ explicitly said that it is morally right to feed the poor and care for the needy. Ironically, Fincher was a recipient of several million dollars in farm subsidies. He had including $70,000 in direct payments in 2012 alone for doing nothing. As New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote on Monday, I dont think the word hypocrisy does it justice. The euphemism of free market, libertarian, contract rights, and small government have used by reactionary as a means to advance the lie of white supremacy. I am keeping it real here. States rights are never superior to human rights.

RIP Sister Aiyana Jones (July 20, 2002 May 16, 2010). You are courageous and enjoy Paradise from the Father that you so rightfully deserve. Enjoy your many crowns. Bless you. All of us living in the world today are inspired by you.

The enemy of us is white supremacy. It is a real system that has been talked about from human beings from across the political spectrum. Authors have written about it like Dr. Claud Anderson, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Neely Fuller, the Umoja team, even Cornell West, and so many others. White supremacy is an evil system where the real elites advance a system where major social, economic, religious, and political infrastructures are unfairly dominated by certain white people (and this system executes injustices against non-whites, especially blacks worldwide). This system in its modern incarnation has been around since the Maafa. This reality is not in my imagination. It is a historical fact. Solutions can be solved among black people for many reasons. One reason is that for centuries we have made civilizations

and advanced cultures among ourselves for thousands of years. When we created autonomous communities, white racists harmed those communities in Tulsa and Rosewood. So, any human being can form communities with effort, strength, and noninterference from the enemy. I call white supremacists in the 1 percent as the enemy. All other white people I do not have intense hatred of. I do not hate them since I judge a human being on their character not on their skin color as Dr. King and Malcolm X have said decades ago. Hating them exclusively is misplaced, distracting, and nefarious energy. My energy is love for my own people and using constructive energy in forming solutions. I just do not have romance, dating, or marriage with them or extensive communication with them in a hardcore level all of the time. White racists are always my enemy and I will stand up against them forever. I like to be around my own black people and I love black women. People commit crimes, but many racists to blame us for the ills of America from Bill O'Reilly to Rush Limbaugh including other racists. That is a fact. Some are right that the rich elites have done massive evils to communities in America. What they do not get is that the rich elite use racial discrimination not just class oppression as a means to cause divisions and tensions in society. In communist and capitalist nations, darker skinned humans are treated more harshly than lighter skinned humans. This is a product of racial bigotry not just class oppression. The mainstream media causing much of the racial discord is accurate. All black people have the right to call for justice. Many white human beings suffer mistreatment, but they never have suffered as black people have suffered. Many blacks have prejudice, but in a white supremacist system, blacks never oppressed whites on a massive scale spanning continents over more than 5 centuries though. We as blacks can call for justice by boycotts, using our money to fund our own infrastructure, improving our health, having more Black Unity, and fighting for the end of the system of white supremacy. Allowing black people to define their own destinies in a positive direction is never racism no matter what others say. Racism is the belief of the inferiority of man based on skin color (including ethnicity) or unjust hatred of another human based on race. I subscribe to neither view. I love to use pretty words since I like to be eloquent. LOL. That is me. All of humanity in some form or another have suffered indignities, but blacks have suffered the brunt of white supremacy more than others. Racism now is not mostly media enhanced. The death of Aiyana Jones, Sean Bell, etc. was not media enhanced. These evil actions were done by brutes and evil human beings. Racism is an extensive injustice that must be eradicated. When Brothers and Sisters are being shot in code blood or when police brutality is in epidemic levels, then that is not media enhanced. These are stone cold truth of the world order now. I believe in independence (of black human beings having the right to develop their own infrastructure, businesses, and systems of living in a positive fashion) not Jim Crow segregation. Jim Crow segregation was an oppressive, evil system where human beings were lynched, discriminated against, brutalized, harmed, raped, and even murdered by racists. I believe all

humans should treat each other with respect, but we can never have a system of justice without white supremacy ending. It is as simple as that. I will treat my fellow person with respect irrespective of skin color, but I will not submerge or eliminate my black ethnic identity for the sake of being politically correct. I will never sellout my blood. Now, some
wanting to end class oppression is fine with me. Economic justice is great and I support that wholeheartedly. Having universal education, universal health, and ending tax breaks for the rich are things that I agree with. We should get along, but many of our differences should be appreciated. If we were all the same, then the world would not be as dynamic as it is. I respect my similarities and differences within the human family. Wanting to end wars and use money to build the environment or to have safe energy solutions are great. I believe in the Savior, but even the Savior gave us a

brain to fight for justice and to end white supremacy (We have to end it).

Our Single Mothers are Being Unfairly Scapegoated by Evil Folks

Our people are under attack, especially black women. I made a promise to myself and my Creator that I will defend my people. Single mothers are heavily slandered now by extremists and anti-female haters.

For if they or the reactionaries attack black single women, then by definition they attack of all who are black by extension. There is always the deception made by many
establishment conservatives about out of wedlock births in the black community. The conservatives use this canard as a means to demonize the black community. The reactionaries distort evidence about social pathology issues in black communities with regard to crime and out of wedlock childbirths. When the conservative talk about an illegitimacy crisis in black America and claim that rising out of wedlock birthrates are the real cause of black human beings' problems, they show a failure to understand statistics. The truth is that the birth rate of unmarried black women (or births per 1000 of such women of childbearing age) is dropping not rising. For black teenagers, the birth rate has fallen by half since 1970 and now at its lowest point ever. Black women are great human beings. Their out of wedlock birthrate is down by about a third in that same period of time. It is true that the percentage of births that are out of wedlock as a share of all black births has rising (nearly doubling since 1970 and now stands at just over 72 percent). Both of these things are true: declining birth rates and fertility rates for unmarried black women (i.e., unmarried black women are increasingly being more and more responsible in conservative terms, not less), and also a climbing share of out-of-wedlock kids as a share of all black kids born. So, the reality is that all single parents are never the product of misbehavior of single women and single men. It is about the fact that married couples are having even fewer kids than single women were. This is what is happening in America. Single black women have cut back on how many babies they have while unmarried and married black women have cut back even further. So if single black women have reduced their birthrates by a third, but married couples have cut theirs by over half, or even two-thirds (which is the case), then obviously the percentage of births in the black community that are out-of-wedlock will rise. That is why the reactionaries are unfair to seize on this issue without understanding the context. The reality is that the black community is cutting back on out of wedlock births in a dramatic way. In other words, the trend lines in that regard are positive. To suggest a pathological and increasingly so black culture when it comes to out-of-wedlock childbirth is entirely dishonest. If anything, black culture if we really want to suggest it is linked to the decision to bear children out-of-wedlock, must be improving, rather than regressing. We know that African American youth teenage pregnancy rates have fallen massively from 1991 to 2010. From 1991 to 2010, the rate of births to black teens, 15-19, fell by more than half, with a full 9 percent drop just between 2009 and 2010 alone. Likewise, from 1980 to 2008, the birthrate for all black women under 18 fell by more than half. Indeed, the birth rate for African American teenagers is now at an all-time low. So conservatives should be celebrating these trends. The bigger picture is that the reactionaries are blaming black people and black culture falsely for the crises facing the African American communities in America. This slander has increased after

the George Zimmerman's verdict. Black human beings have every right to talk about and expose racism in the world. Racial profiling and poverty are scourges in the world. They or the enemy always hate black people. The violence in Chicago is a serious problem that we must address. Yet, the homicide death rates today are actually far lower for black men than in the past. In 1950, for instance, the homicide death rate for black males was 38 percent higher than in 2008, with 47 black males dying from homicide for every 100,000 black men in the population, as opposed to 34 per 100,000 in 2008. And although crime and homicide spikes in a few places like Chicago have been quite real, these seem to be outliers, as violent crime nationally (including crime committed by blacks) has continued to fall in recent years and now stands at rates that are well below those of twenty years ago. In some mostly black cities like Washington, D.C., homicide rates now stand at their lowest point in the past half century. This information refutes the lie that black culture is equivalent to cultural dysfunction (or hip hop is responsible for the problems in the black community collectively). There was no Lil Wayne in 1950 or in 1973 when the violent crime rate nationwide was more than three times higher than today. White reactionaries ignore the positive trends in the black communities of America and they ignore the much pathology in other communities like in some white communities too. One in seven white women, for instance, smoke cigarettes while pregnant, thereby endangering the health of their soon-to-be-born children: a rate that is 60 percent higher than the rate for black women. White women were also about 30 percent more likely than black women to drink alcohol when pregnant in 2010-2011, thanks to a significant reduction in gestational alcohol consumption among black women compared to previous years and a slight increase in such consumption among whites. There is much higher rates of suicide among whites than blacks. In 2010, for example, white men were nearly twice as likely as black men to die from an opioid overdose and white women were more than twice as likely to die from such an overdose as black women. So, all of the human family has issues. Black human beings being made the scapegoats for all evils in America is a lie. Ted Nugent is a reactionary extremist. He has said racist and sexist words for years. He is an ally of Alex Jones. Enough Said. Now, he recently said that the old lie that the Great Society was more responsible for the destruction to Black America than slavery and the KKK. He is a liar since slavery murdered and ruined the lives of millions of black human beings. He is still a board member of the National Rifle Association. The NRA Board membership are filled with reactionaries and other bigots. He is a disgrace to say the least. He said those sick words in the midst of the 50th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Reactionaries always attack the federal programs that were initiated via President Lyndon Johnson. Johnson declared a war on poverty. This plan wanted to reduce poverty and reduce the poor among the elderly as well. Nugent lied and said that the largely money spent on the Great Society was largely waste. The Great Society initiative included Medicare, Medicaid, and other antipoverty programs. These programs included significant and lasting reductions in poverty. As Washington Post reporter Dylan Matthews noted, "...the best evidence indicates that the War on Poverty made a real and lasting difference." We know the large decrease in the poverty rate in the 1960's and part of it was achieved after the War on Poverty was announced in 1964 including federal housing spending. In 1964, the poverty rate was 19 percent. Ten years later, it was 11.2 percent, and it has not gone above 15.2 percent any year since then. Furthermore, Medicare was responsible for raising the insurance coverage rate of the elderly from 56 percent in 1963 to 97 percent by 1970. This doesn't mean that both parties are perfect, but it does mean that the social safety net has helped millions of Americans for decades. Nugent continues the lie that the Democratic Party is a modern slave master to low income Americans. He made the racist slander that the liberal Democratic politicians trained the citizens of Detroit to cheat and refuse to be productive. This racist ignores the fact that deindustrialization contributed to the harm done to Detroit not black humanity collectively. Black human beings are dynamic socially and intellectually. We do not need to be trained to do anything. We can act on our own period. Nugent lies about the poor when most of the poor are not parasites, degenerates, or criminals. Most of them work hard. Being poor is never largely a choice. Being poor is a reality for numerous complex reasons. Also, many human beings receive food stamps as a means to survive not as a means to game the system. Still, even the 1960's did not address all wealth disparities, racial disparities, or criminal justice system disparities as well. We do know that most black human beings have benefited from many social programs. Even at their height, programs like AFDC/TANF never reached no more than perhaps 8 percent of black Americans at any given time (now its about 4 percent). Even food stamps for which some near-poor

families are also eligible, in addition to the officially poor were never being received by more than 1 in 4 blacks at a given time (now its about 18 percent). Many black Americans temporarily receive social programs and these programs never inculcate some cultural dysfunction or damage to all black human beings. Likewise, most TANF recipients do not receive public housing or Section 8 housing voucher benefits. And only 17 percent of persons receiving some form of housing assistance (either public housing or Section 8 vouchers) also receive cash benefits from TANF. Even if you have housing benefits, it is not free at all, which refutes the lie that the government gives free stuff to citizens. Nothing is given for free on many occasions. Also, many welfare spending programs in places like Scandinavian countries have a very high standard of living, low poverty, strong education, and a high level of GDP. So, welfare spending never contributes to some dysfunctional culture of poverty collectively. In the States, many social programs have been radically cut from AFDC to food stamps. The deal is that austerity, deindustralization, and attacks on the black community by the system of white supremacy has harmed many black lives. Yet most Medicaid recipients are not black, and most dollars spent in the program are not spent on black people. Likewise, most black people are not on Medicaid. So to blame Medicaid for welfare dependence is obscene. Many of the Great Society programs were working until budgets were cut and the economy started to shift from manufacturing. The data is clear: in the years between

1965 and 1973, poverty rates plummeted, and especially in urban areas, by about 38 percent. Now, Im not suggesting that the Great Society programs were the only force there the economy was strong too but they played a part, to be sure. By the mid 1970's, most of the innovative Great Society programs were cut or eliminated (with only cash assistance around). In U.S., in the 1950s and 60s, when the tax rate was much higher than it is now (both on individuals and companies), had far higher rates of investment than any country in the so-called third world, despite costs. Today, neoliberal actions, massive austerity, and other wicked forms of globalization have increased the economic inequality in the world. By the late 1970's, even Jimmy Carter used
deregulation, refusal to pass law reform, and had a cut in the gains tax for businesses. This set the table for Reaganomics. The Bowles-Simpson is highly reactionary and not socialist despite what the reactionary say. Washington based, hugely funded foundations and special interests readily dominate the mainstream two party system in the United States of America.

We always have respect of conscious heroes from Harriet Tubman to Malcolm X. We should have individual responsibility in life (we ought to never become social nihilistic or glamorize evils), but we should not ignore the actions of oppressor either. We do not need to degrade our people in the most vulgar, immature fashion as a means to find solutions in our community. To blame black women for all ills in our community is the epitome of self-hatred. What is truly pathetic are some who want to blame blacks collectively for a single news story about surgery. Yet, blacks are not to be blamed for all ills in America. Black human beings who do wrong should be held accountable (each human voluntarily is responsible for his or her actions), but I will not slander my people in the process. This is a new generation and in this new era of history, we are going to uplift Real Black Men, Real Black Women, and Real Black Children here. In the future, real Freedom will Come for our people from the shores of South Africa to the hills of Colorado. Yes, let FREEDOM RING IN THE EARTH AND THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE.

*Black men who are doing what is right ought to be respected. Black women who are doing what is right ought to be respected as well. There is not a single human being more beautiful than a black woman. Black Women are the most beautiful humans on the face of the Earth, which is why non blacks constantly try to use surgeries then and now to try to look like a black woman. Now, it is important to state that all human beings should be treated with dignity and with respect regardless of someones color, gender, or background. All human beings should have equal rights without exception. Black Women are Black and Beautiful Indeed. As a black man, I will always love black women. The beauty, intelligence, strength, hardwork, gifted talents, and drive of Pam Grier, Lauryn Hill, Kelly Rowland, Carolyn Malachi, Carmelita Jeter, Leleti Khumalo, Allyson Felix, Emayatzy-Corinealdi , Assata Shakur Sloane Stephens, Kellie Wells. Serena Williams, Candace Parker, Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce, Jill Scott, the Barber Twins, etc. shines through in the world.

Another Law
George Zimmerman could have and should have been convicted under Florida law. We know that there is plenty of evidence of the Sanford vigilante being guilty of aggravated stalking, which is a felony in the third degree as shown by Florida law. He committed the predicate crime of stalking. Therefore, Zimmerman was responsible for the outcome of his actions. If he was charged and convicted of aggravated stalking, he would also been guilty of first degree felony murder. So, we know that a man willfully followed another unarmed person down the street. Zimmerman had a malicious intent to profiling an innocent teenager named Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin was murdered and the justice system refused to give some criminal offense towards George Zimmerman. Juror B29 expressed her real views on the Trayvon Martin trial. She was right that George Zimmerman was guilty or got away with murder. She made an error for saying that the law couldn't prove it. There is a Florida law that could have convicted George Zimmerman. In Florida: "A person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows [or] harasses ... another person and makes a credible threat to that person commits the offense of aggravated stalking, a felony of the third degree." Fla. Stat. 784.048. Willfully [and] maliciously are evidenced by Zimmerman's own words to the police dispatcher. The word "repeatedly" is not defined in the Florida statue. But the statute does define the similar term, "course of conduct," [which] means a pattern of conduct composed of a series of acts over a period of time, however short, which evidences a continuity of purpose." So "repeatedly" as used in the statute might simply mean "continuously" or "sustained." George Zimmerman (who assaulted a woman, the police, and he is accused of sexual molestation) did sustain his following of Trayvon Martin over a period of time. He targeted Trayvon Martin's legitimate and legal right to walk in the neighborhood. He repeated his following of Martin even after the dispatcher told him he did not need to do that at all. Zimmerman wanted to stalk Trayvon Martin in an attempt to bully him, to harass him, etc. Zimmerman intended to threaten a 17 year old who was in the street alone at night. That is a felony in Florida. Zimmerman knows about these laws. There is an Ohio law that deals with menacing by stalking. In Florida there is a very strict felony murder law that is designed to address just that concern, that when life is unnecessarily lost, even if unintentional, there should be heightened responsibility. Felony murder laws assure that if Zimmerman started something unlawful namely felonious stalking that got out of control for whatever reason, resulting in loss of life, he must take some responsibility for that loss of life. A civil law suit can come. Ironically, in real life, many

law enforcement folks stalk minors all of the time and stereotype them as potential criminals all of the time. We know obviously that the justice system is racist and it is unfair also against the poor. If you are poor, you have to struggle to receive strong legal representation. The reactionaries scapegoat blacks all of the time while ignoring that whites commit about 85% of all DUI vehicular homicides in USA. That kills just as much if not more human beings that are murdered by guns. The white supremacist system obfuscates truth. The truth is that money and property is not divine. The human soul and humanity in general is superior to money or property as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has said in 1967:

I am aware that there are many who wince at a distinction between property and persons-who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid. A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man

RIP Miriam Carey (We all miss you Sister)

In any police state society, there is always a justification for killing human beings. Miriam Carey was a victim of the licensed to kill atmosphere among some police officers. As more facts come out in the case, we see that she deserved to live not to die. Similar incidents happen across America and across the globe. Many Blacks and Latinos are vulnerable for extrajudicial murder by the police. The police shoot innocent suspects for any reason or none at all. We realize that tons of officers or their superiors are held accountable for their actions. On average, U.S. police kills one or two human beings daily. Many incidents go unnoticed. Violence is a systemic problem in America. Many folks have talked about how America glorifies war under the guise of peace (which is sick double think to say the least). We have the highest homicide rate among all developed nations. The USA is obsessed with violence as other nations are. There are violent films, violent video games, etc. We know that we have to fight for peace, etc. Yet, war mongering never leads into true security or true stability in society at all. We know that imperial wars and domestic violence are evils. Communities, neighborhoods, schools, work places, commercial areas and city streets are affected. Driving while black is dangerous. A 1999 ACLU report discussed it. Titled Driving While Black: Racial Profiling On Our Nations Highways, it said: "...Its longstanding practice in America. In 1967, dozens of witnesses told Kerner Commission members that stopping of Negroes on foot or in cars without obvious basis was a key reason for riots the previous summer in cities across America..."

The Fourth Amendment assures (t)he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.

The Eight Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. Whats crueler than statesponsored cold-blooded murder. The Fifth Amendment prohibits depriv(ing) (anyone) of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. The 14th Amendment forbids states from depriv(ing) any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. It affirms equal protection of the laws.
Police nationwide in America spurn constitutional and U.S. statue laws. They do so with impunity. Police brutality is still a serious problem in the USA. Overwhelming evidence proves it. In 2010, Injustice

Everywhere (IE) published a National Police Misconduct Statistical Report. It found thousands of instances of police misconduct. Hundreds of civilian deaths followed. When officers are held accountable, most often discipline imposed is mild. Criminal justice in America is systemically unfair. Victims are cheated. We know what happened to
Trayvon Martin. We know that killing a non-threatening, unarmed teenager is evil and it is murder. Jim Crow justice should never trump fundamental civil rights at all. Now, On October 3, Washington D.C. police gunned down Miriam Carey. They did so in cold blood. They did it willfully. There are the epidemic levels of state sponsored violence across Americans. Now, cops continue to kill non-threatening civilians and they justify it as justifiable homicides. The police are more militarized. Mariam Carey was a 34-year old Stamford, CT dental hygienist. Previously she lived in Brooklyn. She was unarmed. Capitol police killed her after a car chase. Reportedly she tried to breach a White House security barrier. The police banged on her car window. They ordered her stop. She appeared to back up into a police vehicle. She fled. She did so after the cops opened fire. Capitol police and Secret Service officers gave chase. The police fired multiple shots at her vehicle. She fled. She did so after the cops opened fire. Capitol police and Secret Service officers gave chase. They fired multiple times at her vehicle. Why did they do this on busy D.C. streets? Why did they do this when backup units could have blocked her safely? She was not

taken alive, detained, and questioned. The cops shoot first. Now, they are going to be allowed to get away with it. Cops shot her to death. They riddled her body with bullets. Doing so was cold-blooded murder. Bystanders nearby could have been harmed. Miriam had her one-year daughter with her when she was killed. There should be an investigation of the entire incident as a means to make sure that lessons are learned and to witness the any new facts in this tragic situation. The woman was unarmed and the police should of used alternatives like cornering the car, shooting tires, and other methods (since they are trained in alternative mechanisms). Also, the woman never fired weapons at the police, but the police fired weapons directly into the vehicle when they knew full well that a baby was in the car. They fired weapons in the car as a first resort not as a last resort. See, Miriam was not perfect and I make no justifications for her mistakes (as driving erratically. In that instance, she did place her life and her baby's life in risk), but she was shot multiple times by the police in an attempt to kill her putting the life of her baby in risk by the bullets as well. That is something. We as a nation should stop deifying cops and find answers. Appearing on CNNs New Day program today along with attorney Eric Sanders, Valarie Carey stated: It actually doesnt make any sense. And the question really isnt why was she in Washington; the question is why was she killed in Washington. And all I can see, when I look at that video, is my sisters afraid and shes frightened and shes trying to get out of there. Shes confused. She doesnt know which way to go. And I just cant imagine what she was thinking as shes trying to get away from bullet shots. She went on to say: My sister didnt have a gun. She was not shooting a weapon from her vehicle, so deadly physical force of a weapon being fired upon her car I dont believe was justified. Family members said she suffered from
postpartum depression. She lost her job in 2012. The Mayo Clinic says many new mothers experience the baby blues after childbirth. This form of depression can cause mood swings, but they never justify

this treatment by the cops at all. Miriam's Sisters want answers. Amy Carey-Jones said there shouldve been another way instead of shooting and killing her. Valerie Carey said she didnt deserve to have her life cut down this way. Her mother, Idella, said she had no history of violence. She threatened no one. Mariams friends, neighbors and associates were shocked. The police knew that there was an infant in the care, yet they still shot in the care. An independent investigation of the entire facts should be known. Shooting first and asking questions later is evil and an injustice. We need real answers. A militarized society makes all folks unsafe. Trayvon Martin, Miriam Carey, and other victims show the imperfections of Western society. There was no blocking of city streets or shooting of tires at all.

RIP Renisha McBride (We all miss you too Sister)

The murder of Renisha McBride represents the murder of black women. The murder and abuse of black women have been readily omitted by mainstream Western society. The Wayne County prosecutor in Detroit filed charges in a case that is very similar to the murder of Trayvon Martin. Renisha McBride was a 19 year old African American woman. She wanted to ask for help after a car accident came about in a predominantly white suburb of Detroit. Renisha was shot in the face with a shotgun in the early hours of November 2. Her cell phone was dead and she was bleeding from a wound on her head. She wanted help. Reports said that the 54 year old Theodore Wafer shot Renisha through the screen door of his home. Wafer never called the police until an hour later. He lied and claimed that he fired in self-defense at first. He changed his story (which makes him a liar by definition) and claimed that the shotgun went off by accident. He changed it back again when prosecutors filed murder and manslaughter charges against him. Initial reports said that Renisha's body had been "dumped," but the police later said that it was found on the porch. Wafer is using SYG self-defense laws as a means to try to escape justice. The murderer said that he felt threatened by Renisha. Her death was ruled a homicide. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy filed charges. Detroiters protested and have shown great strength in giving support to the family of the late Sister Renisha McBride. Detroit should be proud of standing firm and strong. On November 7, about 50 human beings gathered outside police department headquarters in Dearborn Heights. Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, spoke for

the crowd when he asked: "Had she been a white woman and the shooter a black man, would the shooter be sitting comfortably at home watching TV today?" 2 days later, about 200 people attended a rally. It was organized by the National Action Network on the West Side of Detroit. Other protests have been done all over the Detroit area too. Wafer faces second degree murder and manslaughter charges. Many sick human beings are putting the victim on trial instead of the murderer. Some are demonizing Renisha by citing toxicology reports when Wafer was never tested for drugs or alcohol at all. Some want to justify her execution by a shotgun for seeking help, which is sick. Race can never be eliminated from the equation. Dearbon Heights is 86 percent white and Detroit is 82 percent Black. We know about the double standards in dealing with police violence and racism in the States. We know that the Detroit police murdered the 7 year old girl named Aiyana Jones. Shortly after Aiyana's death during a police raid on her home, Charles was charged with providing the gun used in another murder. Charles has been held without bail for three years as his trial has been postponed. In the case of Aiyana's killer, the prosecutor's office somehow managed to select an all-white jury from a predominantly Black area for the cop's first trial, which ended in a mistrial. This is only another example of a justice system that treats Black life as less valuable--something made gruesomely clear once every 28 hours--the rate at which African Americans are killed by police, security guards or vigilantes, according to a report by the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. If a Black man killed a white woman on his porch, he would be placed into jail immediately. There are more George Zimmermans in the world, which is a threat against black men, black women, and black children. In July, a New Orleans homeowner shot unarmed 14-year-old Marshall Coulter in the head because he thought the teen was trying to break into his house, and a pregnant woman was killed on a sidewalk in Pratt, Kan., by a man shouting racial slurs. In September, a man in Dallas shot 8-year-old D.J. Maiden in the face as he played in a parking lot. Then there's the case with the closest echoes to that of Renisha McBride. Also in September in Charlotte, N.C., 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell was killed. Ferrell was in an accident. He begged for help and they police tasered him. They shot him three times, which killed him. The protests in Dearbon Heights and Detroit should be commended as they have expressed justifiable outrage over Renisha's killing. We should have anti-racist mobilization and organization to combat injustices like these.

The Black Panther Party

The Black Panther Party members are our heroes. They sacrificed their time, effort, and strength to defend the black community for real. They were the real deal as evident on how the FBI literally murdered many of them, slandered them, and stalked them. The history of the Black Panther Party is ever real. The Black Panther Party deals with the politics of being antiimperialism and wanted to use the community directly as part of the solution to issues. Real power justly flows from the people or from the bottom up. Liberation can never come from the elites or the super-rich directly totally at all. They believed that they were fighting a class struggle and they were explicit opposed to capitalism (as they believed in socialistic ideals). They were against Western empire and wanted to end the war in Vietnam and the colonial exploitation in Africa and other areas of the Third World. Many of them worked in free breakfast programs and free medical clinics as a means to help humanity. Fred Hampton gave many speeches that denounced black capitalism. The Black Panthers (among males and females) studied literature from Amilcar Cabral, Franz Fanon, Malcolm X, Basil Davidson, Daniel Mannix, Malcolm Cowley, and so many other authorities. The BPP"s Ten Point Programs greatly outlines the agenda of the BPP in full display. During the time of the BPP, Muhammad Ali, Dr. King, and SNCC denounced the war. One great book about how the murder of Brother Fred Hampton is the 2009 book entitled, "The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther" by Jeffrey Haas. The book proves that Fred's bodyguard was a police informer or a provocateur who urged the Panthers to do illegal acts and got them guns. He drew up a floor plan of the apartment, including where Hampton slept, so the police knew exactly where to find him. A second autopsy, performed at the request of Haass team, showed that the two gunshot wounds to Freds head were fired at a downward angle at close range.

For real Black Power is about building the confidence and power base of black people. It is never about unwarranted hatred against human beings of any color or race at all. Black Power is about community development and it is about Black Love in action too. So, Fred Hampton was set up and murdered by the FBI and the Chicago Police. There was a strong anti-colonial movement by Brothers and Sisters in Zimbabwe, Guinea-Bissau, Angola, and Mozambique. Community organizing has been a great action of revolutionary change. Without community development, nothing changes. Also, we all realize that the struggle for black liberation is not over. We still have many bourgeoisie politicians that want reform not revolution. In other words, we are battling against attacks to our economic freedoms, our social freedoms, our civil rights and basic environmental protection. We are battling against militarism too. We have to deal with the mass incarceration of our Brothers and increasingly our Sisters. So, we are fighting for political and economic self-determination as black people.

Conclusion
The same neoliberal system is propping up NYPD Chief Ray Kelly (who advanced the stop and frisk policy in NYC when it harms mostly innocent citizens) as potentially being the new head of the Department of Homeland Security. The racist Wall Street bankster Mayor Mike Bloomberg recently said that Blacks and Hispanics are not stopped and frisked enough (when 90% of those frisked are humans of color) and whites are too little frisked (when barely 9% of white people are stopped and frisked. Whites are 2 times more likely to be carrying illegal weapons and/or contraband when stopped). So,

Bloomberg is a notorious racist authoritarian. In the 1930's inside of Berlin and Paris, innocent Jewish human beings were unfairly stopped and frisked by the Nazis and now he wants my people to experience the same injurious, wicked treatment. It is a shame and a scandal. Zimmerman murders an unarmed black teenager and he walks while Sister Marissa
Alexander is spending over 20 years in prison for not even shooting her attacker (whom she had failed a restraining order against) in her own home. Even Florida's Stand Your Ground law has the initial aggressor exception. As Zimmerman was the initial aggressor, it is what it is. SYG should still be gone, because of it ambiguous nature and advancement of vigilantism though. I blame the prosecution more than the jurors, because the prosecutors can bring in more charges from 2nd Degree murder, 1st degree manslaughter, aggravated stalking, etc. Jury B29 or the Afro-Puerto Rican woman should not be made the total scapegoat of the total corruption of the injustice against Trayvon Martin indeed as the Sister Trojan Pam eloquently wrote about. So, we are at war with the system of white supremacy. The Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, the FBI, etc. have been involved in harming our civil liberties, using global imperialism, using assassinations, and killing innocent human beings for decades. I will never ally nor join these organizations at all. They are the institutions of white supremacy (this system of white supremacy stole the land of ingenious human beings and then try to lecture us on immigration in a reactionary fashion). *AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON AN OLD DEBATE: Booker T. Washington did a lot of good for black human beings, but his Atlanta Compromise was one of his greatest errors. A compromise in the midst of a tyrannical society is not right. His strength was the promotion of black education and businesses for African Americans. He was right to say that black human beings have every right to develop economic power and have a sense of self determination. His weakness was that he on some cases wanted to appease white racist sensibilities as a means to gain freedom. As Dr. King and Malcolm X have

said, you have to confront racism and you have to confront oppression directly and aggressively as a means to be free without accommodation to a wicked system. Yet, even
Booker T. Washington to his credit funded efforts to battle Jim Crow segregation in 1900. WEB DuBois once slandered Garvey in an evil fashion (which detailed his once immoral embrace of colorism & jealously at a successful Brother). Yet, later on DuBois woke up and became a strong pan-Africanist before he died in 1963. We need both intellectual growth and economic growth. There are more

interesting portions of information about this issue. Booker T. Washington used private action (according to Louis R. Harlan) to fight lynching, disenfranchisement, peonage, educational discrimination, and segregation. In 1894, when Booker T. Washington sought funds for the Atlanta Exposition, he urged that the right of black men to vote should not be taken away. Back then, he traced much of the issues on the black community on the institution of slavery not scapegoating all blacks for all ills in the black community as numerous pundits do now. He was right on that accord. Booker T. Washington made a strategic error by being funded by ruling class corporate interests. These interests wanted reform not revolution for black masses in America. You need revolutionary change as a means to achieve just not token capitalist reforms. For the pull your own self by your bootstraps philosophy have been exploited by reactionaries as an excuse to deny black human beings the right to fight for social changes. Washingtons National Negro Business League had met in Atlanta three weeks before this racist pogrom. In his speech at that convention he stated, The Negro is committing too much crime North and South. We should see to it, as far as our influence extends, that crimes are fewer in number; otherwise the race will permanently suffer. So he blamed the victims for their oppression in that instance, and the bosses papers just ate it up. In commenting on this speech, the Atlanta Constitution ran an incendiary headline: Law-Breaking Negroes Worst Menace to Race. So, white racists exploited human beings for their nefarious ends. So, I will not bash Booker T. Washington harshly, because he was a Brother

that tried to do the best for our people. Booker T. Washington was never some submissive Uncle Tom. He was just wrong on some issues.
Even Ida B. Wells disagreed with some aspects of Booker T. Washingtons accommodation views. DuBois once slandered Garvey in an evil fashion. At first WEB DuBois even made errors and was heavily funded by the establishment. Even the NAACP was created heavily by white establishment figures, some of whom never wanted radical equality for black human beings. Even a board member of the NAACP named Oswald Villard never wanted to socialize with DuBois. The reality is that we need both

self-sufficiency and economic development as advocated by Booker T. Washington and we need social justice & global black pan-Africanism as advocated by Marcus Mosiah Garvey including WEB DuBois. We need economic power, but not only that. We need to have political and social power as well since we must address the social conditions of the world as a means to create a revolutionary better world. There is nothing wrong with Power if it is used correctly. WEB DuBois and Booker T. Washington should be respected for the legitimate
accomplishments that they had done for black people. We need both intellectual growth and economic growth as a means to liberate ourselves as a people. We need to know that racial oppression is tied up with class oppression, so we need to deal with the social aspects of humanity as a means to develop solutions for our people. We have to challenge political institutions and advocate the changing of institutions as a means to abolish all forms of discrimination including oppression. We have to have a progressive attitude to the poor without maligning them or scapegoating them as some of the bourgeoisie does all of the time. We should be constructive and build up our community and build up our people in peaceful means and peaceful methods. That is why I will never advocating harming any innocent human being regardless of their background point, blank, period. I do believe in LOVE also. I believe in respecting femininity and masculinity for both masculinity and femininity are complementary and valuable in the Universe. Also, we should have solidarity with our people beyond selfish individualism. How can you follow materialism and selfish individualism along with cultural, collective solidarity at the same time? You cant. You have to have the communal respect for black human beings (or combing our resources together in growing our security & our powerbase. Our ancestors were treated as chattel and that is one reason why I will never honor an economic system that harmed my ancestors at all. The same greed and the same wicked, uncompassionate system that oppressed our ancestors is in existence today. The modern day capitalistic economic system is based on the rape, theft, pillage, and exploitation of the resources, land, and wealth of the human beings of color in the world. That is real talk. Modern day capitalism caters to white supremacy and history documents that truth. Kwame Ture, Malcolm X, the original

and replace that system with JUSTICE. We should be constructive and use positive energy and positive efforts in creating solutions.

Appendix A: The 50th Year Anniversary of the Historical 1963 March on Washington

We are after 50 years after the March on Washington. There is nothing wrong with having a Dream. The Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. should be respected since all of humanity should be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. Human beings of numerous backgrounds marched to the nations capital as a means to seek freedom, jobs, and justice back in 1963. The vast majority of the masses of the people in both marches (in 1963 and 2013) sincerely wanted justice. They had love and compassion. Yet, justice is not done by marching alone. The act of marching or protesting is not immoral, but solely doing marching is not effective. We have to embrace positive militancy, independent organizations, and independent programs to help our society. I love Bernice King's speech. Her oratory ability is out of this world. She is a better orator than many folks in her family. Bernice King is a genius. There were many other activists, ex-Presidents, celebrities, and others have spoken about issues and about the Dream. Also, the President Barack Obama delivered his speech recently. The President is a great orator in his own right as well. His speech discussed about the wider agenda of American society instead of explicit policy agendas. His speech oratory wise was very strong. Here is my critique of the President's speech. Now, President Barack Obama even admitted that he can't speak like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His administration has a long way to go in being like the true human rights ethos of Dr. King and so many other heroes. It is ironic that the President spoke his words in the time that U.S. warships in the eastern Mediterranean are preparing to possibly rain down bombs on another impoverished mostly Arabic nation named Syria. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to mobilized workers and humanity in the South and across the Earth to advance democracy and equality. The White House is still too much tied to the military intelligence apparatus and Wall Street. He or President Barack Obama can talk about the middle class, but not explicitly on the plight of the poor. The President praised those going to jail to protest unjust laws and cells swelling with freedom songs back decades ago. Yet, the current administration wants the extradition and prosecution of Edward Snowden (regardless of what you think of him. I neither view him as a

some superhero nor a terrorist) and he condemned Private Bradley Manning for years in prison. He advances the unconstitutional surveillance program carried out by the National Security Agency or the NSA, which is similar to the spy programs of the FBI (that carried out illegal spying against Americans back then and still today like against the Occupy Movement). The White House abhors civil disobedience now, but he praises it when civil rights heroes did it. If Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was alive today, he would have opposed the war on terror. Not to mention that back then, Dr. King was harassed by the FBI. The establishment called Dr. King a threat since he was opposed to American foreign policy and he wanted a radical redistribution of wealth in society. King called the US war in Vietnam one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world, and one that had torn up the Geneva Accord and strengthened the military-industrial complex [and] the forces of reaction in our nation. He or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. quite accurately called the US government the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. President Barack Obama admitted that we have seen the growth of social and economic tensions in America: [W]orking Americans of all races have seen their wages and incomes stagnate, he said. Even as corporate profits soar, even as the pay of a fortunate few explodes, inequality has steadily risen over the decades. Upward mobility has become harder. In too many communities across this country in cities and suburbs and rural hamlets, the shadow of poverty casts a pall over our youth, their lives a fortress of substandard schools and diminished prospects, inadequate health care and perennial violence. Yet, we have to understand that the Wall Street banks are having record profits at the expense of wage cuts and cuts in social services in America. It is important to note that the President should not be blamed for all ills of America since he is a puppet of the elite and he is a scapegoat of the wickedness including the oppression found in white supremacy. At the end of the day, the global elites originated our modern day oppression for these past centuries. Although, the President should be made accountable for the actions that he voluntarily executes though. The President was wrong to blame the victims of oppression instead of the oppressor for our modern oppression with this Booker T. Washington lite quote that he loves to do: Legitimate grievances against police brutality tipped into excuse-making for criminal behavior, he declared. [What] had once been a call for equality of opportunity, the chance for all Americans to work hard and get ahead, he continued, was too often framed as a mere desire for government supportas if poverty was an excuse for not raising your child... That is funny since the real source of the social crisis are not excuse making or the poor, but the system of white supremacy and its arms of cartel capitalism, war, socioeconomic attacks on us, etc. Dr. King criticized capitalism since he questioned class oppression and wanted social equality via his Poor People's Campaign. We need revolutionary changes not a reform of capitalism. We must not turn into the Richard Nixonian token black capitalism, but revolutionary changes to address war and social oppression. We must reject the mainstream political establishment. We must be independents and reject banker and corporate exploitation of our communities and workers in the world. This day should motivate us to do better and be better human beings. We all wished that he or President Barack Obama would talk about police brutality, imperialism, the War on Drugs, the evils of white supremacy, etc. but he said many words that were legitimate and real that dealt with economic disparities in America. Ironically, the President has many neoliberal, centrist positions yet the irrational reactionaries still view him as a super socialist Muslim (which is a slander). The Dream calls us to oppose war, oppose police state methods, and oppose the harm to the living standards of all humans. We should follow the agenda of the people not of the ruling class. We know that the CIA

and the FBI are terrorist organizations. The DHS violated human rights and they are not to be trusted as well. I do believe that the White House is completely wrong in following the neoconservative path on foreign policy issues. We should be Independents politically. Regardless of what you think of the White House, we can't just issue legitimate critiques of the White House (which is fine). We should also advance solutions in our communities too and help out our neighbors as well like so many are doing now (including those in the younger generation). We should continue to use action as others have said. The older Brothers and the older Sisters in the world are right to say that the March of 1963 suppressed numerous militant black voices (even John Lewis censored his words by force) as a means to wrongly stir much of the movement into the establishment 2 party system (to gain concessions not revolutionary changes. A concession can be eliminated and the Supreme Court has harmed many of our concessions. Much of the establishment civil rights movement has been infiltrated by Big Corporate Foundations like the Rockefeller Foundation).

*As time goes on in our lives, we know what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. truly felt on issues. We know that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not a Republican regardless of what some Republicans say. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was not a Democrat or a Republican. He was not a partisan human being. In a 1958 interview, King said I dont think the Republican Party is a party full of the Almighty God nor is the Democratic Party. They both have weaknesses And Im not inextricably bound to either party. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. criticized the Republican Party during his life time though. He wrote the following information about them as it relates to the 1964 Republican National Convention:

"...The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The best man at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade. Senator Goldwater had neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary to grapple with this problem of poverty in the fashion that the historical moment dictated. On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represented a philosophy that was morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulated a philosophy which gave aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I had no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that did not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy..."
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. voted for Lyndon Baines Johnson in 1964, because Barry Goldwater was going too far on some various issues. He spoke of Ronald Reagan in these terms (or a hero of modern Republicans):

"...When a Hollywood performer, lacking distinction even as an actor can become a leading war hawk candidate for the Presidency, only the irrationalities induced by a war psychosis can explain such a melancholy turn of events..."
In 2008, Kings son Martin Luther King III said It is disingenuous to imply that my father was a Republican. He never endorsed any presidential candidate, and there is certainly no evidence that he ever even voted for a Republican. The Tea Party Republicans today advance austerity, attacks on labor rights, the extremist bootstrap rhetoric, and believe in the harsh xenophobic version of nationalism. Dr. Martin Luther King would oppose that agenda. That wicked agenda of the Tea Party wants socialism for

the rich and capitalism for the poor. Many activists wanted Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to run for President in 1968, but he did not. The real Dr. King wanted to fight economic injustice, and he wanted to fight poverty via his Poor People's Campaign. Power must be transferred from the 1% to the people living from the ghettoes to the suburbs in leading their own destinies in life. Now, it is important that we can

agree or disagree with President Barack Obama on many issues, but we should never use our disagreements as an excuse to attack his family or attack him in an inappropriate way at all. For some attack Obama as a means to fan the flames of ANTI-BLACKNESS not as a means to constructively build up society. At the end of the day, we know who the total enemy is and it is not the President. It is the system of white supremacy. The Sister Trojan Pam wrote to me a great, excellent explanation of this issue. Here are her following words. Enjoy Brothers and Sisters: @ Timothy Just to be clear, my post was not about defending or supporting President Obama. It was to demonstrate that whatever is occurring under his name (or any other black persons name) is being controlled by the powerful white people pulling his and every other elected legislators strings. Ive talked to a lot of black people who want to give President Obama CREDIT for all the good things and none of the blame or responsibility for any of the bad things. That is NOT logical to me. Thats why I dont give him the credit OR the blame for what is happening under the name of the Obama Administration because I know he does NOT have the POWER to make any decisions but is simply being TOLD what to say and do Which is WHY Obama has extended (signed) EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF LEGISLATION CREATED BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION that came up for renewal. And why his SPEECHWRITER is a young white male, so those are NOT his words you are listening to (at least some of the time). Think about that the next time he addresses black people. WHO WROTE THOSE WORDS OF CHASTISEMENT? Because he is always CHASTISING BLACK people in a way he does NOT do with non-black people (and that can be PROVEN).

That is why he gets into trouble with white people EVERY TIME he goes OFF SCRIPT because he is NOT supposed to represent himself or his own views, he is supposed to represent THE INTERESTS of the powerful whites who (s)elected him, We must be real about that.

Thats why I try to adopt a NEUTRAL STANCE regarding President Obama the same way I would when watching or listening to a CORPORATE SPOKESPERSON. I know that SPOKESPERSON is simply doing his or her JOB, and is there to hide the IDENTITY of the ones making the REAL DECISIONS from the WRATH of the public. those hidden people WANT me to throw rocks at their PUBLIC representative which is why I try NOT to fall for that trick (even though the temptation is always there) I also know any black or non-white person who rises to any level of power (or is given a powerful title) KNOWS HOW and WHY THEY ARE BEING USED. what I choose to do is to SEE WHO IS STANDING BEHIND THEM, and make that my focus. No, I dont respect anyone who accepts a position where theyll be REQUIRED to harm large numbers of people, Just like I dont respect a used car salesman who KNOWINGLY SELLS ME A LEMON But I also know he or she is NOT the real problem. If they disappeared or quit today, another high profile black OR used car salesman or woman would take their place. So attacking them accomplishes NOTHING. Bottom line, I try to keep in mind WHO IS REALLY RESPONSIBLE for whatever is happening so I wont fall for the CON GAME being played ALSO, I agree that we MUST find ways to positively promote our HUMANITY and our BLACKNESS and reduce anti-blackness.

____________ @ Timothy, I appreciate your willingness to consider my perspective. Some people cannot or will not entertain a viewpoint that disagrees with their own. All I ask people to do when they come to this blog is NOT to take my word for gospel but to try to FOLLOW THE LOGIC of what is being said. See if it makes sense. I appreciate your participation and hope youll check out the Counter-Racism Boot Camp

Still, there are still real Brothers and real Sisters in the Civil rights movement and the black liberation movement in general. So, I want to make that clear. Today, we should be comprehensive in our approach. We should fight for our liberation in our communities via boycotts, using self defense when it is necessary, being morally upright, fighting for laws to be changed, organizing with our people, funding real businesses, funding real black conscious organizations, advance global pan-Africanism (as we oppose the wicked system of white supremacy), improving our health, having mentorships, developing more skills including trades as a means to harness our power base, and to advance the dignity of Black Men and Black Women (including Black Children). We have no choice but to act constructively. By Timothy

So, Be Blessed. Be Strong. I will always show the real and live my life.

Peace Brothers and Sisters.
