1916 Project...Full Movie

 Many teach that 1619's environment of slavery was the worst thing that happened to Black people in history. While we all agree that slavery was and is horribly evil, an equally as horrible evil has been the abortion industry. 

Not only have over 13 million Black children been murdered as a result of it, but it seems that our nation has been seduced into believing that abortion is an acceptable method of birth control and has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with "healthcare" which is the biggest lie in all of human history. 

As I have outlined HERE, given the same time frame of 400 years, deaths of Black people due to abortion outpaces the rate of death of Black people during the transatlantic slave era. The greatest evil is to oppress and even destroy a people and make them think that oppression is good for them. While I know where the TRUE preachers are on this agenda...The FAKE ones are silent, only interested in collecting offerings, and living their best life now...SMH!!!

Kyrie...Antisemitism or Buck Breaking?

I admit, I had to put this one together...OK...

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." ~ John 8:44

Unlike the philosophical system of the Greeks, which 1st Century Jewish leaders vehemently opposed to various degrees, Jewish leaders were especially pious and eager to distinguish that "they" were true followers of God while all others, with very little exception, were "dogs" deceived, on the outside, and of an evil nature or "satan's children". New Testament Biblical references appear to be consistent with thoughts of the day and even expanded upon these concepts. In short Jewish leaders, who were especially proud of of their Hebrew heritage and unique relationship with God by their historical lineage, were distinctly Jewish and proud to let everyone know of the difference between themselves and others.

Let's be clear, JESUS was not teaching that the Jews, by lineage, genealogy or race, were devils and or satanists. In the specific context of the John 8:44 passage, it was the Jewish leaders who were questioning and criticizing his person and office. Jesus responded to the evil that was in their hearts and minds and revealed the source of inspiration behind their apparent blindness as to who he was in relationship to the purpose and mission of God.

In actuality Jesus could have been addressing ANY group or race of people sharing the same or similar sentiments as those to whom he was confronting. But Jesus was sent to the "Lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Mt.15:24) to do HIS (John 4:34) work and accomplish the mission according to the promise given to Mary (Gen.3:15) and the covenant promise established with Abraham (Gen.12:3 & 18:18)

The Jewish leaders to whom Jesus was speaking, like anyone else, were sinners, not following God, and in need of repentance. They were following the dictates of their own minds and evil hearts on many issues, and perverting truth into lies and this, as JESUS reveals, was inspired by satan himself.

Point Of Understanding

Unfortunately, in my opinion, many have undertaken Jesus words, perverting them, to support thoughts that the Jewish people are inherently evil, sinners and even satan worshipers. Thoughts such as these have inspired anti-Jewish hate and are not only antisemitic, but are rooted in an unwarranted racist view of Jews and, further, in my opinion, are inspired by satan himself.

It seems that to, on top of this, throw any amount of financial success, whether by honesty or treacherous means, there develops a complete anti-Jewish conspiracy laden with child sacrifice, human trafficking, pizza and human McDonalds burgers....Such sentiments are more than RIDICULOUS and only fodder for the mentally challenged. 

What Do We Have With Kyrie Irving?

Let's attempt to clarify the air here...First, to believe that Black people are descendants of Jews, or who are known as Hebrews, is an assertion worthy of examination and NOT an antisemitic thought or reference. The fact that there are Jews who appear to be White and Jews who appear to be Black is not anti-Jewish nor antisemitic. The fact that there are both White and Black Jews is not antisemitic unless one is given to racism or believes that, in this case, Blacks couldn't possible be Jewish by lineage and or descent. 

Example, clearly there are many Ethiopian Blacks who claim to be of Jewish descent and heritage. Legendary hypothesis has it that former Ethiopian King, Haile Selassie, claimed to be a direct descendant of King Solomon through the "Queen Of Sheba" (1Kings 10:1-12 & 2 Chron. 9:1-13), if true, this would certainly make him Jewish by lineage. Under this example we must note and restate that Black + Jewish by lineage DOES NOT equal nor equate to antisemitism. Once again, only racists would contend to the contrary.

"From HEBREWS to NEGROES"

In a tweet, Kyrie Irving referred to the book and evidently video referenced above. The work itself seems to not only attempt to prove that Blacks were the original Jews, which, once again, is NOT an antisemitic sentiment, but that those claiming to be Jews today are followers of satan and supplanters of the original Jewish (Black) people. [I will not critique the work at this point but I WOULD NOT hang my hopes on the truthfulness of the assertions I have seen...there is much better and accurate information available]

Allow me to quickly assert, there is NOT ONE SHRED OF BIBLICAL NOR HISTORICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE LATER SENTIMENTS. Specifically, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE that Jews are satanists, devil followers or otherwise under satan's direction and influence either in business, life and religious practice...SENTIMENTS TO THE CONTRARY ARE RIDICULOUS AND UNEVIDENTIAL and in my opinion, inspired by satan based on the history of the Jewish people. and their relationship to God.

What we seem to have with Kyrie Irving is a conflation of the two sentiments, 1, that American Blacks are the original Jews and 2, that modern day Jews, many of whom, who live as White, are evil, devils and under satanic influence, based on the acts and actions of some of more successful business persons, who also claim to be of Jewish heritage, descent and lineage...Because Kyrie referenced a book/movie that claimed both assertions to be materially true, and because he referenced such without distinction, he has been and is now labeled as antisemitic, blackballed socially, said to be in need of psychotherapy, has lost endorsements and may be on the trading block and in jeopardy of losing his job.

In my opinion, this label and resultant actions are also problematic, stereotypical and full of racist connotations.

Who's The Real Hypocrite & Racist?

While Kyrie is free to embrace whatever sentiments he wishes, the business community has withdrawn itself as a matter of association, claiming that it wants no union or relationship with such sentiments. However, if we look at just one sponsor, Nike, for instance, we can see their decision is fraught with bold hypocrisy. Where is Nike in the face of Chinese atrocities dealing with slave labor and Uyghur injustices and imprisonment? His employer has assumed Kyrie's sentiments are hateful, and therefore has withdrawn its support without any distinction as to what Kyrie's actual sentiments are, but his employer, the NBA is equally as guilty of turning its back on the inhumane treatment of people in China with one part owner saying that "Nobody cares", when it comes to making money with over a $10 Billion dollar investment in the Chinese marketplace. But yet, NBA spokespersons are relegating Kyrie to be trained to rethink or relearn his personal beliefs and opinions and get rid of his "racist beliefs".

Is Kyrie claiming that American Blacks are Jews? Or is he claiming that the Jewish people are actually evil and satan? Or is he claiming both? Has anyone asked?

The Danger Of Media Indoctrination

Earlier this week, during the interview, I heard a sports reporter say that because Kyrie had made a tweet asking blacks to "wake up" (this was especially in light of controversy surrounding Kanye West,) with a link to the movie "From Hebrews to Negroes", that Kyrie was "endorsing" the movie and the book. Although Kyrie said that he wasn't "endorsing" anything, but merely making a reference to the movie, the reporter insisted that he was "endorsing" the movie and the information it espoused and went on to suggest vehemently that Kyrie's reference was by virtue of his statements was an "endorsement" after which Kyrie, seeing which way it was going, shut the reporter down. In other words, the reporter insisted that Kyrie had complete union with the movie and all of its contents and assertions. This was wholly made up and fabricated by the media itself. 

Question: Was this a REFUSE TO VACCINATE PAYBACK? I mean Kyrie, refused to jeopardize his health and contribute to the unscientific and disproven notion that the vaccine would stop and or prevent the spread of covid. He chose to sit out rather than cave to the complete mess of the MRNA vaccine pressure. In other words he exercised his freedom, not only as a man, but also as a Black man. Was this too much for those who felt they were "in charge" of him? Although I am not one to cry racism at every corner or twist in the road, but as I will discuss below, we must ask and address the question under this circumstance; was it simply an extension and imposition of RACISM imposed by the reporter? It could have been BOTH!

Noone has called that reporter out for his RACISM! Why? Because they would never see themselves as one who will be used to "Break The Buck" and put him in his place. Was this a BUCK BREAKING MOMENT? 

Yes, this reporter claimed Kyrie to be guilty of antisemitism by association to his reference of a work which he may or may not have agreed with in full or in part. Yet, because, and only because, he was BLACK, did the assumption arise that Kyrie not only agreed that American Blacks were original Jews, but that he also that he believed, by virtue of him being Black, that Jews were evil, and under the influence of satan himself as the movie goes on to assert. 

My friend THAT and THOSE ASSERTIONS in face of the denial of Kyrie's clears statements that he did not "endorse" the movie is either RACISM, rank hatred or sensationalism!!! Take your pick because I believe all are on the table.

To My Black Hebrews  

I want to say, that I have nothing against anyone that believes themselves to be a Black Jew or Hebrew. More power to you...However, from a scriptural and spiritual standpoint you MUST be born again and salvation can only be found in Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (Heb. 12:2) I reject Hebrew Israelism just as I reject Judaism and Islam as the methods of salvation. However, if that floats your boat, go right at it, as it is a free country to follow what you believe and see fit to pursue. Continue to seek, and know that your belief in that religious system DOES NOT make you an antisemite nor does it make you a racist. 

For sure, it is clear that freedom of belief in general and in this case, specifically Black autonomy, at all levels within society is under attack. It appears to be open season against those who stand and speak their minds and hearts in open society, and against those who would dare hold out the Bible as a reference and guide for objective moral truth and standard of life and living. 

Yet, we will LIVE with HIM as he has come to give us life, even in the face of those who would dare attempt to compromise our lives. 

Be sure, the TRUTH will stand even if it has to stand unsupported by men and on its own. It is for that truth, that I stand and can only hope that others will stand along with me. 

Blessed!

Reparations...Do You Read The Bible? Calling Out Conservaties & Mark Levin

On Thursday Sept. 15th 2022 conservative talk show host Mark Levin, hailed as "The Great One" by media personality Sean Hannity stated that the civil war was good enough and that "nobody deserves" or should get "reparations", referring to the legitimate claim of descendants of Foundational Black American Freed Slaves. This broadcast is used to call out not only Mark for his inept, and ungodly sentiments, but also call on conservatives, especially White conservatives and many uninformed descendants of FBA Blacks to rid themselves of "Land Of Dixie" or "Dixiecrat" thinking on this issue and affirm the biblical narrative that is clearly in favor of FBA descendant's 1st Amendment right to petition the government for grievance which has been overlooked and set aside with conscious disregard for nearly 160 years since slavery was reversed directly for over 3.5million Blacks in the United States at the time.

Pull Up Peoria...YES, We're Talking REPARATIONS

UPDATED PRESENTATION BELOW:

GO FUND ME FOR THIS EVENT

REPARATIONS PRESENTATION
 

If you're in the Peoria, Il. area on Sept. 24th, 2022, join me and other community members as we discuss REPARATIONS for descendants of Foundational Black Americans (FBA or Freedmen).  

The discussion will center around 4 agenda items:

• Delineation for Black American Identity

• Reparations for descendants by lineage of Foundational Black Americans

• A Demand to STOP Illegal Immigration 

• Protected Class Legislation For FBA Descendants
  

These discussions and adherence to demands for reparations are of vital importance within America today. 

During WWII slightly over 100,000 Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps and detained by the US Government for 3 years due to a perceived threat that Japanese American citizens would somehow be faithful to their homeland over their citizenship status as Americans. Although this was an atrocious act perpetrated by FDR (democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) Those interred were not made to work, be slaves, nor were they beaten or treated as chattel. 

In 1979 for 10 years Japanese Americans petitioned for reparations. In 1988 nearly 40 years after their release, each person or family that had been interred received a cash settlement of $20,000 each. This was approximately $2BB spent to provide reparations to people who were neither slaves, nor kept as slaves for nearly 400 years, as is the history of Foundational Blacks in America, nor were ever treated as chattel. 

It is BIBLICAL and RIGHT to repair the damage done to humanity through chattel slavery and the theft of both a culture's person, time and intellect. 

We'll make the solid case along with additional information during the PEORIA PULL UP WHERE WE SAY REPARATIONS NOW!

Do We Still Believe In Punishment & Restitution For Theft Or Crime In General? What Of REPARATION?

Proverbs 6:30-3 ~ Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

 Looking at the news today, among many other things, which will go unnamed here at this time, we can see much animus against many of the George Soros backed liberal prosecutors around the country who have refused to do their jobs and protect their community from criminals who are bent on destroying lives and using the system as a revolving door to commit more crime and violence. 

In Chicago, like many other major cities, not only can you fake an actual hate crime and nearly get away with it, in fact have the prosecutor argue with the judge over your sentencing, but even when thieves are caught, smash and grab crimes are barely even challenged. You have young people and others who see an opportunity to bust in stores, steal jewelry, and other items and merely run out and do what they will do. During the riots of 2021, because most were not protests, a young looter said that he felt justified by taking clothes and other items from the stores he was targeting because they had been "making money off my community" for years without giving anything in return...[I would say, YESSSS...if it weren't for the jobs, taxes for the services they were enjoying and the resources that he was taking...YEA!!!]

 Then switch to California who has about the worst Governor in history, outside of the one in Illinois and the "God's messenger" one of New York, current robberies are hitting business owners many of whom are struggling to pay adjusted insurance premium rates. After these incidents, many insurance companies are cancelling policies and coverage due to increased and excess risk. Then, in many cases, when these thieves are caught, no matter how much is stolen, criminals are usually released on bond, given a court date and many of them refuse to show up. Some make it to the dreaded traffic stop, where a quick search leads to either death or another quick catch and release event...(well may as well tell it like it is)

 Then There's The Church

To think that crime has escaped the church, or what some call "the church", you would be delusional. Recently, Pastor or Bishop Lamor Miller-Whiterhead and church were robbed at gunpoint. Critics said it was "due justice" for the church robbing the community every Sunday. {WEEEEELLLLL} Back to the issue...Allegedly, this Bishop and church were lifted of nearly $1MM in jewelry on a Sunday AM with about 25 people present in the congregation. I think I could say more, but it seems that this situation speaks for itself, although I can readily add that I have never taken more than $100 to the pulpit at any one time, in most cases...Oooooh question: DO CHECKS COUNT?

Anyway, it seems that thieves do not care, where or when they do the thievery or their crime of choice, and increasingly they don't care about the consequences. It seems that if we leave it up to the liberal elite politicians and community advocates who always invariably have plenty of security, and locks and chains on their personal possessions, low life peasants, such as me and millions of others like me, have no justice, recourse or equity in return.  

Have They Learned? A Deeper Issue...

While all of this is intriguing and the news focuses ad infinitum on every criminal and prosecutor who doesn't do "right"...the real problem is that this behavior has been learned by the way America has conducted her business since the Emancipation Proclamation was signed and slaves were freed. 

RESTITUTION

The case of US Army Veteran Jessica Elaintrell Smith, who, along with co-conspirators, plead guilty to stealing military equipment and selling it on EBay for profit. Although she was sentenced to 18 months in prison and 2 additional years of probation for her crimes, she was also ordered to pay RESTITUTION to the tune of $1.2MM and must meet certain minimum payment requirements even while in prison.  

This young lady faced her sentence with courage and stated the following:

“I know my apology does not absolve me, but I will seek forgiveness from everyone involved, and forgiveness from myself,”

In other words, it seems that this young lady understands that the commitment to do right is contained in more than just words. That actions must somehow be associated with them. 

In Analysis

So here, we have in one case among many thousands, a thief who has stolen, and not only is told to serve their time as a result, but also expected to PAY, a physical amount to RESTORE or REPAIR what was stolen and address the injustice that was done to the Government. 

DOES THIS WORK BOTH WAYS??? IS THIS MIC ON???

One would be hard pressed to  say that SLAVERY is nothing less than THIEVERY. Yes, it comes with a host of other brutal and dehumanizing issues, but at heart and base, SLAVERY IS THEFT. A theft of person-hood, individualism, labor and remuneration for that labor. 

While America remains the ONLY civilized nation to fight a war in an attempt to end slavery and unify a nation [which I'll bet Brittney Griner wishes she would have considered in place of the Communists that she and others like her so admired prior to that 9 year sentence] she (America) has never made good on her RESTORATION and physical REPAIR of her acts that she readily admits were tantamount to evil.

REPARATIONS are a BIBLICALLY based method and manner to address the evil of thievery and other evils.

Germany knows this...Both East and West have contributed $25BB in cash reparations and $700MM in goods and services to pay Israel for the millions of Jewish people that were killed in Germany during the Holocaust and for the nearly 400,000 survivors who migrated back to Israel and other nations needing assistance as a result of Hitler's evil reign. This includes paying a lifetime stipend to those who survived the ungodly and horrible experience. 

Wrong was done. An apology was made...but RESTITUTION had to be made as an act of civility and contrition. 

What of the descendants of Foundational Black American slaves? The slaves and eventually their descendants called Freedmen? Since payment was overlooked and skirted by them, now their descendants make claim and their grievance known to the government under their 1st Amendment right.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

 Descendants of Foundational Black Americans, who were stolen and had their labor stolen from them and their descendants until now, are making a PEACEABLE assembly to redress their grievances to the GOVERNMENT of the United States. 

If we truly believe that there should be a PENALTY to theft, and that although apologies are good, RESTITUTION is also in order, there is no way that anyone can look past reparations and the request for reparation as a bad argument.

Descendants of Foundational Black Americans don't want reparation simply because we're Black...The nation doesn't exist to endorse a race or color (allegedly)...Descendants of Foundational Black Americans demand and petition the government for reparation because of our lineage, what was taken from our ancestors and what was promised in return, which has not, to this day been fulfilled. It is only right, that this country, the United States Government, who has recently delivered over $1BB in security aid and other sorts of assistance to foreign nations, engage the process for the benefit of these descendants of Foundational Black Americans, who had no other choice but to survive or die under an evil and even cruel taskmaster who was endorsed and supported by our Government with actions commensurate to the day. 

By the way...we'll get back to the church in a minute...covid only stopped some of her antics briefly and now people are looking for brighter and better ways to support evil...the sellout of "CHURCH GIRLS" to perverted evil and cussin' DOE...Both you are on the radar...this is so sad!

Reparations & #pullupseptember2022

Luke 4:18 ~ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

I recently posted this on Facebook after contemplating the issue of reparations. I wanted to share my thoughts on the process and some considerations involved. 

After studying this issue I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE that America owes the descendents of Foundational Black Americans & Native Black Americans for what she did not give and refused to give to the slaves they used, sold and treated as animals and land and livestock she took.

Don't get me wrong. No White person individually owes me or us, (descendents of Foundational Black Americans and or Black descendents of Native Americans, of which I am BOTH with a traceable descendency) a dime, and I'll never look at the issue or White people as though they do.

However, our beloved nation has never failed to serve the needs of others. For example, Ukraine, to whom she has forked over $Billions$ (over $54BB) she has not balked to take our/my tax dollars and give, while telling me/us, it's for our benefit.

To top it off, through her current inept leadership, she has allowed an invasion at our southern border and given $Millions$ in grants to illegal immigrants, to whom she has also given card blanch such as jobs, credit, business start up cash, housing, and food all in the name of "humanity" and "compassion". These alleged leaders have done this and continue to do so without hinting at the irreparable harm done to our Foundational Black & Black Native American community and other poor and minority groups.

In contrast current American leadership rejects the idea of compensating those of us who can trace our descendency to those whom she bought and sold and made to serve, under brutal and inhumane conditions, all with no compensation, or those whose resources she took, without consideration, including, but not limited to, land and livestock, all without any such adequate remuneration.

Why so indifferent or so less compassionate towards addressing and correcting actions and occurances you say and we both agree that were abhorrent and that do not reflect the values that we embrace as Americans?

It's not like you don't already have the records. Under your most recent scheme of a "pandemic", you even paid dead people to stay home when you sent out alleged "economic relief" payments. You have contracted banks to tell you what we are doing with every dime of money that we allegedly earned with our own labor, and yet persist to tell us that we have "privacy".

Further, you have the most extensive record keeping ability of anyone in the world. You can tell down to the newborn exactly who is who, and what is owed to you in taxes even if we don't file. But yet you prefer to focus on benefiting them none of us know, either outside of our country, or those coming into our country for whatever reason and by whatever method imaginable.

Maybe this is to soothe your mind or keep up an alleged "reputation", I don't know, but as the gentleman you knew as Malcom X, once said, "the chicken's have come home to roost". 

No matter how we got here, we are here now. As Redd Foxx once said, we're "chocolate mocha, pecan, vanilla, yellow, mellow, light, bright, and dxxx near white". No longer do we see fit to sit silently, while you serve the needs of everyone under the sun, extend rights that our forefathers paid for to groups of people because of who they have sex with and or how they feel about themselves today, all the while brazenly backhanding the legitimate descendents of them to whom you never fulfilled your promise.

And I'll say this about Illinois, a State which legalized slavery for nearly 100 years...

The limited number of $25,000 housing grants given to a extremely limited number of residents of Evanston, IL was only a shadow of what should be considered and what is right, but it stops far short of what has been long earned and deserved by the descendents of those who suffered such abuse and misuse.

We will no longer be deceived by your news media, nor dumbed down by your politics that declares that our Blackness isn't authentic without supporting you and your agenda, when nearly everything you support, and nearly everything on your agenda undermines and confuses who we are, our values, our families and our children.

We are FOUNDATIONAL BLACK AMERICANS & FOUNDATIONAL BLACK NATIVE AMERICAN DESCENDENTS and we DEMAND to be heard.

My considerations as they are.

The Character Of God Examined Pt. 1

Many biblical critics assert their criticisms as if the world had not begun to "think" until they had an idea.

One of the ideas circulated by the new atheists, which have the same old ideas, claimed to be new, circulated by new or different people, is that God is so full of murderous ways that he cannot possibly be God.

A commentor named "Kellz", who at one time pretended to be R. Kelly on this blog , falls right in line with the new atheist song of "God is not moral" and that "God is a megalomaniac" because when he "they" read scripture all they see is death, destruction, rape of women and murder of innocent adults and children. But is any of that true? 

Are The Arguments Persuasive Against God's Character?

Slavery ~
1- Beat your servant just don't kill him (Exodus 21:20-21)
2- Perpetual servanthood breaking up family Exodus 21:2-6

Rape ~
1- Women taken in battle: Deut 20:10 & 21:10 (are they only sexual objects?)
2- Deut 22, raped woman must marry the man, (is this actually a restoration of power and authority?)
3- Judges 21 (the critic claims this is the repeated rape of women)

Child Murder ~
1- Jepthah, & Judges 11:29-40
2- Midianite boys were killed while girls were kept alive (to be raped) [Numbers 31]
3- God kills the man that would not strike the prophet, (1 Kings 20:35-36)
4- The Kids "Bald Head" joke. was this mere innocence condemned by killing youth?

In tranquility: "dash the children against the stones" Psalms 137:9 (Was this a prophetic look at how the enemies of Israel would feel about killing Israel in God's judgement against Israel or an incitement to evil?)

Let's take a look at these and other more popular criticisms and handle them. At the end of the day what we will see is a loving and all wise God who is not only love and mercy, but also justice, judgement and truth.

Dog Whistles Pt. 1 The Genesis Of Distrust

I am proud to be a Black conservative. As I have written, it seems to be somewhat of an anomaly, as many people simply believe that a vocal Black person is automatically a liberal and in agreement with everything that liberals and especially liberal Blacks agree with. That is certainly not the case here. For example, I don't agree with big government, or the overhaul of the healthcare system by the government, I don't agree with abortion, the breakdown and redefinition of the family, or the imposition of penalties by taxation upon the rich for their success...I also don't believe that the public restroom open to my wife and daughter, should also be open to men who live as women...

With that said however, not only do I love Malcom X, but I DO agree with many of my liberal friends, both Black and White, that something more than a little bit is wrong with our current President. As I have seen and heard his discourse, he is more akin to a Hollywood personality or showman, than a political figure, and has displayed very much ignorance. He seems to have infected those around him with the same shoddy bias that he brings to the table and seems to demand as much to prove loyalty.

I held President Obama to a tough standard both terms. I did not pull any punches, and certainly did not agree with his agenda to push and proliferate homosexual marriage and some of the other more shameful values that he placed upon us as Americans. Be clear, I intend to do no less than speak with the same candor about this President. All Americans should seek to hold him accountable like anyone else, and if what we have all heard, seen and witnessed is any indication, he deserves more scrutiny than most.

Although the President is into publicly shaming his detractors, he is one of the most shameful persons I have seen in political office, and I have shaken hands with some that are currently in prison for one reason or another and find their presence more enjoyable.

I mean look at it, with his history of multiple marriage, insulting and demeaning rhetoric about women and nearly everyone, and name calling of anyone who disagrees with his political and social positions, he has displayed his own shame and has more than proven that he is anything BUT a true conservative. He is certainly not wise and is very ill-temperate...I mean his whole handling of Puerto Rico, and officials who were rightfully critical of his response, in my opinion, displays a person that has racial bias, loves to move the goalposts when he is loosing an argument or has been exposed, and wants everyone to believe that his bias is not "really" a bias or a prejudice... 

Although I give him kudos for making it a point early on in his term to provide more funding to HBCU's by Executive Order, and reversing some of the more intrusive Obama era rules and social regulations, our current President has said some of the more rather incredibly STUPID things and many within the Black community both conservative and liberal continue to distrust him and question his motives. 

I must admit, at first, I was saying that people just needed to give him a chance and that he would eventually "learn the job" and what he was supposed to do. I mean he was the same one that said that he could run the country and his businesses too, only to later come back and say that he made a mistake, and wasn't aware of how difficult the job of a President actually was???? But somewhere around his Charlottesville, VA assessment of "good people on both sides", I got off the sidelines and began to examine this______________(Loss for words here...although a phrase that he used for Colin Kaepernick does come to mind) for what he is and for the bias he stands for.

During that examination, I came across certain patterns that are unmistakable and not lost upon history. In this writing and the subsequent parts, I will attempt to share what I see as a calculated parallel between history our current President, and our condition of unrest. I only ask that even the critic will read objectively. Shall we proceed: 

"Dog Whistles"

One of the criticisms of this President, especially from those actively engaged in civil rights discourse, is that he uses and continues to use "dog whistles" to rally what he intends to be his base of support. Of course a dog whistle is literally only heard by the dog as opposed to the general public or crowd. This "whistle" inspires a dog to react without the one blowing the whistle, saying a word. What many Black leaders have said is that this President has issued some significant political "dog whistles" to activate his base and communicate his message. In Part 2 of this article I will explore this possibility directly by looking back at "dog whistle" politics. However, in Part 1 I will examine some of the circumstances and public perceptions that created the whistle itself and laid the foundation for what many Black and White leaders see and perceive as racism and racist behavior towards those protesting and fighting for liberation.  

Some may think that I am writing to "blame" or create a "negative" atmosphere...to them I ask, "Have you looked at the news lately? Not all of it is fake. How much more negative can things be in race relations within America?" However, the purpose of this writing is to inform as well as educate as to what many Blacks actually hear when racial equality is discussed by the current President and many "conservatives" that follow his path today, and why Blacks must continue to hold public officials accountable and make their case for racial equality and criminal justice reform, and for social change based on racial equality.

Ideas & Ideals Have Consequences

“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death.”― The Late President John F. Kennedy

The Foundation Of The "Dog Whistle"

"Dog Whistles" are based on ideas, values, concepts and ideals. Some of these values are more or less worthy or healthy to society. One should be careful on what ideas and ultimately ideals are embraced. The bible calls this protecting the heart. It is from the heart that the "issues" of life proceed.

My contention here is that ideas and ideals, historically embraced, have such a deep rooted foundation that they continue to effect modern society. As we will see, some ideas last as a way of life, even if they are not taught in books.

The Incubation Of Bad Ideas 

Let's look at a mini-timeline of some (since the Civil War 1861-1865) historical events. Please note the length of time or the gaps here from when laws were formed in favor of Black equality to when equality was actually realized, if it were ever realized at all. Some have said that certainly equality has been achieved, and that the election of a Black President proves it. However I ask the truly objective to simply hear me out and follow the argument, then make your decision. What's more, show me how the assertions that I will make are wrong based on the evidence.

To begin: 

Jan. 1st 1863 ~ President Lincoln signed the second or final Emancipation
Proclamation (specifically freeing Blacks in the Southern states that were in rebellion against the Union.) According to Wickipedia, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware, and Missouri—and those counties of Virginia soon to form the state of West Virginia, and also the three zones under Union occupation: the state of Tennessee, lower Louisiana and Southeast Virginia were excluded from the Emancipation Proclamation, therefore slaves in these states were not set free. The proclamation would only target to free approximately 3.1 million of the nations 4 million Black slaves at the time.

Next, over 2 and a half years later after Emancipation and after the Civil War was over:

June 19th, 1865 ~ On June 19, 1865, Major Gen. Gordon Granger came to Galveston, Texas, to inform a reluctant community that President Abraham Lincoln two years earlier had freed the slaves and to press locals to comply with his directive. There were approximately 250,000 slaves in TX at that time, most of which had migrated from the Eastern Southern Confederate States to escape the war and reestablish life in an area in which slavery was still allowed without restriction. The day (June 19th, 1865) became otherwise known as the day of true emancipation for Blacks from slavery. It is celebrated in approximately 45 States today as "Juneteenth".

Now, what is without historic dispute, is that the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves or outlaw all slavery within the United States. It was primarily a "declaration" for civil unity. Also in 1865 the 13th Amendment sought to actually abolish slavery within the entire US which only worked to a degree.

Although TX had been a state since 1845, it had also been a part of the Confederacy and governed under a self-rule concept, until 2 years after the Emancipation. The State of TX continued in defiance of the Federal Law until after the war was over.   

Immediately, after the Civil War defeat however, Southern States sought to implement a new set of rules that governed the life and living of Blacks who were now technically free under the law. Although short-lived, these sets of regulations were adopted by varying degrees by all former Confederate States, and paved the way for what would later become known as Jim Crow Laws based and rooted on separate but equal doctrines which would be proliferated by the courts for nearly 100 years, in spite of efforts through Federal Regulation to eliminate inequality.

This set of what appears to be ad-hoc laws that continued to build upon racial injustice were called "The Black Codes" 

The "Black Codes" (1865-1866)

Although Lincoln was dead, Southern States, under President Johnson and the surviving, defeated, military leaders of the Confederacy, called for self-rule or what amounts to "States Rights" in constitutional conventions, demanding limitations and restrictions on Black rights. 

The mantra, "States Rights" therefore became an early rally cry in favor of racism and, over time, a theme song, not only against federal government "intrusion" but also a cry for self rule and ultimately the validation of classism and segregation.

1) The term "states rights" was a mantra repeated by racists over the years to encourage the power of the state over the power of federal government. The term has also carried the connotation of racism indicating a reversion back to a time when states decided how to engage their citizenry. Historically however, that engagement usually excluded Blacks and even made things worse for them in general. The term itself, "States Rights" was used later by segregationist and racist Alabama Governor and Presidential Candidate, George Wallace, who as a third party candidate received over 9 million votes for President. This phrase has rightfully been interpreted by many Blacks and Whites, both conservative and liberal, to be a "dog whistle".  

A New System Rooted Within Bias

After the Civil War, free public education was offered for the first time, with restrictions that persons of color could not qualify and were not allowed in the public system. The restriction of Blacks from public settings was called segregation. 

Additionally, according to most "Black Codes", Blacks could not vote, serve on juries, travel freely, or work in occupations of their choice. Even Black marriages were outside the law as the law focused on Whites and issues pertaining to Whites. 

Mississippi was the first State to implement a Black Code and their version was unusually harsh towards Blacks and condemning of Whites that partnered with Blacks for the cause of freedom and equality. 

During this and the subsequent Jim Crow era, the prevailing thought was that Blacks were not equal to Whites in any way and should not be introduced or provided for within society. Although the Civil rights Act of 1866 guaranteed equal rights for all people living in the US, many were unwilling to accept the rights and equalization of Blacks. Around 1867 the Georgia Daily Telegraph reported: 

"There is such a radical difference in the mental and moral [nature] of the white and black race, that it would be impossible to secure order in a mixed community by the same [law].”

Blacks, by far and large, did not see the local or State law or the legal system as anything that would work for their benefit. They depended upon the federal government which at this point was still not actively engaged.

The Criminal Justice System
Community Policing

Among many restrictions the Black Codes included vagrancy laws. A vagrant is considered to be a person without a "settled" home, job and one who appears to be living as a beggar. Of course anyone could see the problem here. Since a person would have just been freed from slavery, they certainly would not have any assets and would be seeking a job. 

In most circumstances the Police, specifically the County Sheriff's Dept., was used to enforce vagrancy laws. It was the police, who were to round up "vagrants" place them in jail and force them into servile work for who else? Rich or wealthy White people. 

South Carolina's Black Code laws on vagrancy facilitated the following actions:

• Immense pressure on freedmen to sign labor contracts. 
• South Carolina’s code did not limit these laws to unemployed persons, but included others such as peddlers and gamblers and those who otherwise were self sustainable. 
• Vagrants could be arrested and imprisoned at hard labor.
• Children of vagrants could be taken and forced into work through "apprenticeships" 

As stated, the codes allowed the County Sheriff (Law Enforcement) to “hire out” black vagrants to a white employer to work off their punishment. Many of the law enforcement personnel, especially in the South, were also former or active klansmen and or White Supremacists. So not only was the law unjust, but those who were to enforce the law were unjust and bias in many cases. 

2) This appears to be the genesis of the distrust among Blacks of law enforcement or the police in general. Certainly not a total or all inclusive reason, but the start of negative perceptions and reactions. These apprehensions would be compounded in the Jim Crow era at time in which the police would be out right used to take freedoms from Blacks.  

The Courts

Lynching: Defined as the killing of Blacks without a trial or proper due process. Between 1882 and 1892 it is estimated that over 900 Black persons primarily in the South, 

were lynched or executed in this manner.

The courts (aka: the criminal justice system) customarily waived punishments and sentencing for white vagrants, allowing them to take an oath of poverty instead. Crimes that whites believed freedmen might commit, such as rebellion, arson, burglary, and assaulting a white woman, carried harsh penalties. Most of these crimes carried the death penalty for blacks, but not for whites. 

3) Racial bias in a "justice is blind" setting was undeniably a part of the genesis of distrust in the courts as well. The design of the courts facilitated protection for the White man, not Blacks. Things would eventually get worse under Jim Crow laws and in spite of Civil Rights Acts and Constitutional Amendments 13 and 14, adopted at the federal level, the courts would be used to negatively affect the Black family in a very significant manner.   

Black Education

Black orphans and children of vagrants, could become "apprentices" for Whites. This "apprenticeship" was against the will of the worker, and created a "Master/apprentice" relationship which allowed the "employer" to even "inflict moderate punishment" on "unruly" apprentices as long as the employer or "master" agreed to provide food and clothing, and teach their apprentices a trade, and send them to school in exchange for their "service" (in this case SUBJUGATION). 

4) From a historical perspective we observe that it was not an unusual concept for the White, empowered, elite, to provide education to Blacks or support education for those who were otherwise "slaves" without being called such. As long as the education was separate from Whites there was generally no disagreement and the White "masters" felt a sense of obligation to do so.

Conclusion Pt. 1

In this section, we have observed the following issues from a historical perspective:

• Immediately after the Civil War both the law and the police were used to enforce unfair and unjust rules towards recently liberated Blacks and Black families. 

• The Black Codes and rules were implemented to replace slavery by creating classism and bias within the law based on race.

• The Civil Rights Acts of 1866 proved to be ineffective and was disregarded by former Confederate States in lieu of the doctrine of "States Rights". 

• The genesis of "dog whistles" were laid immediately after the Civil War in the following doctrines: States Rights, police injustice, court injustice and inaction, separate but equal doctrines which allowed Whites to fund Black education while making sure that it remained separate from White education.  

How does what happened in the late 1800's effect us today?

Although repealed by federal law, the Black Codes would eventually give way to Jim Crow laws rooted in separate but equal treatment of Blacks. These laws would go on to be the basis for understanding and teaching for white Americans for nearly 100 years. Rooted in the doctrine of "States Rights", segregation and a call to less government intrusion took shape over time creating and exposing some ridiculously painful relationships based on race.

If President Kennedy is to be believed, that "ideas have endurance without death", then it is very easy to see how the foundation of the treatment of Blacks within this country has an effect on all of us today. Without going back to the clear injustice of slavery and bondage itself upon which the nation was founded, each of us can point back to a time, when the banner that flew in effort to display our freedom, failed certain groups based on race, while securing the future of others, based on color.

Ideas and philosophies, all the way from what makes the country great, to how we protest for a better country and life, are rooted in our genesis. It is that point, that the foundation of what we believe is right and wrong, has been challenged and exposed in this time some 150 years later.

In the next segment, we will look at some of the "politics" that makes the best association towards the arguments that have been made in recent days. As we draw further away from the foundation of this country, we are forced to ask, are we actually more close to those foundations than we believed?

We will see.

Regarding The Legalization Of The Casual Use Of Marijuana

Our local news recently ran quite a few articles regarding the administration of Illinois' legalization of casual marijuana in light of "420 Day". One one side the science says that marijuana is totally good for the individual with very little downside. On the other side the science and experience says that nothing good can come from the casual, non-medical, use of marijuana or any other drug. This is what I recently said regarding the legalization of the casual use of marijuana:

"My WORD for 420 Day:

Look, I am against the proliferation of illegal substances and even some that are deemed legal...BUT...if these people want to now make (the casual use of) Marijuana legal then I believe that the new industry should be made to pay reparations out of a significant portion of their profits based on what criminalization of the drug has done to the Black community historically. 

Secondly, there should be a REQUIREMENT to cultivate owners and growers from minority communities. Not just women, but racial minorities and Black persons more specifically. 

This whole industry stands in large part due to organized, but unsanctioned efforts of inner city peddlers and even suburban distributors and peddlers. I believe that the law should include provisions that make it a requirement to include economic opportunities for some of those individuals going forward... 

Why does a preacher say these things? Far too long the establishment controlled by the wealthy, White elite, has gotten wealthy off the efforts and backs of Blacks and minorities with no sharing of profits or consideration of why and how they have become so profitable. The cotton industry is a prime example! It was Black folk that by and large cultivated the fields with blood sweat and tears, while the White elite made the money. 

Here we have the State now considering implementing a new business and is automatically locking out minorities with high and excessive fiduciary standards and no consideration for those who have been effected generationally by the historic treatment or outcome of those who both sell and use this drug.

Savage...It Only Gets Worse...Then There's You!

At a recent high school journalism convention no less, Daniel "Mr. Tolerance", and self proclaimed "Faggot" Savage, took the opportunity, along with tax payer dollars, to terrorize and indoctrinate youth on his thoughts regarding closely held religious beliefs, not only twisting scriptures totally out of context and providing plenty of false biblical interpretations, but also calling biblical admonitions against homosexuality "bull-s***t" that should be ignored. Remember this is the President's national anti-bullying adviser.

THANK GOD for all the BOLD & BRIGHT STUDENTS that walked out on his utter PROFANE GARBAGE!!! Let the crap be relegated to the SEWER where it belongs!!!

If he had gone to someone who actually studied the bible for it's real message, instead of those who promote  propaganda to justify their sins, (aka: Sam Harris or any of the modern irrational atheists and such like) he would have known that the bible does not endorse slavery, especially the chattel slavery that his forefathers more than likely practiced within the United States. Conveniently he fails to mention is that "Origin Of The Species, By Means of Natural Selection or The Preservation of Favored Races In The Struggle For Life" is the materialist myth chalk full of racist and sexist assertions all in the name of science. 

What's equally as important, is this how tax payer education dollars are being spent? If a Christian took the time to waylay the Quran, there would have been outrage. If a Christian or other person of faith pronounced and explained biblical admonitions against homosexuality, there would be a stark condemnation, but where is the condemnation against this?

Let's see, 

When it's against the bible and religion in general, it's called Freedom of speech

When it supports the bible against modern immorality including that of homosexuality, it's called religious bigotry??? 

OK, now we see what the definition of tolerance really is for those claiming a more peaceful, humanitarian and intellectually fulfilling path of modern moral relativism. 

The fact is that we certainly can see the light...the question is can Savage see the anything but himself and his own ignorance???

New Atheism...Same Old Confusion

According to the Huffington Post Black Voices, not only have the Harrisburg, PA. American Atheists taken the time to spread utter lack of biblical understanding, but they did it in the most racially offensive manner possible.

This billboard which has since been torn down, was hoisted in PA's most racially diverse neighborhood, by them who believe in Charles Darwin's "Origin Of The Species by Means Of Natural Selection: The Preservation Of Favored Races In The struggle For Life." (Hear atheist Richard Dawkins invoke the name of God as he struggles to remember the title of what he calls the most import book ever written) 

Correction Of A Horrible Social Appeal

Supposedly this was done in protest to the PA, House's declaration that 2012 be the "Year Of The Bible". However it turned into a victimization of the neighborhood in a sense. American Atheist Harrisburg director, Ernest Perce V, said that he feels that if there are any victims, that he is one as well because he has received multiple death threats as a result of the billboard's short debut. (Ya Think Ernest???)
