What evidence do we have today that minorities, especially black people, have a better chance of being treated equally by a society dominated by wealthy white elites? Why are there still so many deaths and disappearances due to the color of a person’s skin? Many people believe that the United States has moved on from slavery and Jim Crow segregation to an era where one is judged by the content of his/her character and not by the color of his/her skin. Today, we tend to view racial tensions or frictions as minor aftershocks to an earthquake which has long passed. According to research conducted by Professors Maria Krysan and Nakesha Faison, for the Institute of Government and Public affairs on racial attitudes in the US, “fewer whites… acknowledge that African Americans are adversely affected by past and persistent discrimination.” In other words, today, a number of whites tend to see racism as a personal problem that some people have and reject feeling personally responsible for what others do or how their ancestors acted; which, naturally, they do not agree with. According to the same article, many blacks tend to view the problem of race in America as very real and institutional which influences their daily movements and actions. In all this black-white discourse, Hispanics, Asians, homosexuals, women and the general poor of America tend to be forgotten and pushed to the background as a sideshow. But, the truth of the matter is that race is still something one can die for in this country and about three months ago, someone did.</p><p>On June 26th, 2011, seven white teenagers from Jackson, Mississippi, murdered a man simply because of the color of his skin. According to a CNN report their victim, a 49-year-old James Craig Anderson, was targeted because he was black. The same article also reports that these young teens were at a party when they decided they wanted to search for “a nigger to fuck with”. In two separate vehicles, they drove sixteen miles across Jackson to a predominately black, western area, where they found their victim, James Craig Anderson. The teenagers jumped out of their car and proceeded to beat Mr. Anderson, and, while beating him, they yelled out racially charged slogans, like “White power!” After some time had passed, a few of the teens left, and the teen that remained got into his car and ran over the beaten James Anderson, killing him instantly. After this murder, the elated teens met at a McDonalds and celebrated their victory. What the jubilant white teenagers did not know was that the beatings and murder were caught on a surveillance camera pointed at the parking lot. Currently, only one teenager, Deryl Dedmon Jr, is facing two life sentences in connection with the murder. The only other teenager to be charged in connection with the crime is John Aaron Rice, and he is facing a simple assault charge.</p><p>Is this the society that is so free and just? Can this possibly be the country whose Declaration of Independence states, “…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”? Was James Craig Anderson given these rights? Was justice truly served when only one young man has been charged with murder when they ALL decided to go out and “fuck with a nigger”? There are many layers to this question, and one article will never do it any kind of justice, but I wish to share my own personal beliefs on who is responsible for this death. To begin with, every single one of the teens who left the party and participated in the beatings of James Craig Anderson must be charged. What they are charged for comes down to the particularities of the law, but they all must be charged with something. Secondly, society as a whole is responsible for the attitudes of these young men, and this is an important point because some might try to solely blame these misguided teens. Furthermore, others might say, because it happened in the “South,” this type of action is understandable, which, in effect, separates them from the emotions, feelings and intentions behind the crime. All these counts are false. The fact that it was okay for anybody to believe that it was fine to find a “nigger” and kill him and even celebrate it afterwards shows that we as a society and human race have a problem. This problem is not restricted to the “South” or the US, so arguments articulated in this manner need to be discarded, and we as human beings who care for one another, need to take responsibility for the crimes we commit against one another.</p><p>In conclusion, I confess that I have much anger in my heart due to this event. That could have been me out there being beaten up and killed. It was not, but it could have been…. And in order for me to keep hate out of my heart, I must use love as preached by Dr. King because, when you love someone, indeed you can still reprimand and punish them for their mistakes, but you will never hate them. I wish nothing but blessings on the young people who murdered James Anderson and hope that as time goes by they see the error of their ways and make a change in their lives. The real killers and enemies’ humanity faces are hate, ignorance, selfishness and uncontrolled anger. Once we convict those criminals, then, I believe, we as a society can build a truly better world that embodies some of the ideals expressed in the United States Declaration of Independence.</p></div>The truth about whats being done to all Black people as a means of maintaining white dominancehttps://www.theblacklist.net/profiles/blogs/the-truth-about-whats-being-done-to-all-black-people-as-a-means2011-09-01T18:36:01.000Z2011-09-01T18:36:01.000ZFranklin Jones aka thanubianhttps://www.theblacklist.net/members/FranklinJonesakathanubian<div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><b><span lang="en" style="line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;" xml:lang="en"><font face="Calibri">In The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Godwin Woodson, it states, "If you can control a man's thinking, you don't have to worry about his actions.

This practice of perception management has been used for several decades as a propaganda strategy for controlling how people view political events. Perception management includes all actions used to influence the attitudes and objective reasoning of foreign audiences and consists of Public Diplomacy, Psychological Operations (PSYOPS), Public Information, Deception and Covert Action. It was refined by US intelligence services as they tried to manipulate foreign populations, but it eventually made its way into domestic US politics as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Beginning in the 1950s, more than 800 news and public information organizations and individuals carried out assignments to manage the public's perception of the CIA, according to the New York Times. By the mid-80s, CIA Director William Casey had taken the practice to the next level: an organized, covert "public diplomacy" apparatus designed to sell a governmental objective.</font></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-size:12pt;"><font face="Calibri"> As a means of meeting the U.S. Government’s unrelenting objective of maintaining its white dominance, the self-perceptions of black people are being covertly negatively shaped.

This “Mainstreaming” of negative propaganda devaluing Black people within the United States has been an on-going for more than 40 years.

Examples include McCarthyism or the fabrication of evidence of communist infiltration, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution based on false claims of President Johnson and Pentagon chief McNamara that North Vietnam attacked a U.S. naval vessel. During the Cold War, the Pentagon sent undercover US journalists to Russia and Eastern Europe to write pro-American articles for local media outlets.

Moreover, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White elite’s innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply engrained for them to merely just give up their practices of implementing different forms of suppressive systems against its Black population. Therefore this method of defending their position of white dominance was the logical choice, for unlike the extremely blatant systems used in the past, which Blacks were able to easily identify and therefore unify to form counter strategies against, this racist system is much harder to detect.

Doing the bidding of the corporations and special interests who bribe them to keep them fat and content, the president and Congress have initiated policies that have driven the US economy over a cliff. Now they say they have to take the initiative for fiscal sanity to save the government from default after they gave trillions of our tax dollars to the very crooks who caused the implosion in the first place!? Fine, but what’s their plan? They've cut taxes on the rich (General Electric paid no federal taxes I repeat no taxes in 2010) while they cut the social safety net on the poor and raise our taxes. In the midst of all this, Obama starts bombing yet another Muslim country. <br /> <br />Wars are costly and extremely expensive. Yet the US always finds a reason not to go to war unless it is against a country that can't really fight back with their own weapons of mass destruction. In effect the US has morphed into the world’s school yard bully who enjoys ganging up on smaller, weaker countries to take their lunch money, or in the case of Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Afghanistan, their natural and mineral resources.<br /> <br />Meanwhile at home both Democrats (Cuomo in New York) and Republicans (Christy in New Jersey, Walker in Wisconsin, Corbett in Pennsylvania, Kabish in Ohio) are attempting to balance their budgets on the backs of the working poor and middle class while giving humongous tax breaks and exemptions to the corporations that fund their campaigns. These heartless money grubbers don’t care about the little people they are hurting. All they care about is their ideological and class agendas. <br /> <br />If they were serious about balancing their budgets they would make the corporations pay their fair share. Profits are at an all time high, production is up but job creation is down! Don’t believe the CNBC and Wall Street folderol that the rich deserve a tax break because they create the jobs. What jobs? If they were creating jobs, unemployment won’t be at an all time high, people wouldn't be losing their homes and living in tent cities.<br /> <br />On the federal level the Klepotcrats on both sides of the aisle are attempting to gut Social Security and ruin one of the most effective programs the federal government operates even if it is a modified Ponzi scheme. It’s very unscrupulous so stay with me. The Social Security program as it was set up by the Social Security Act of 1935 is a pay as you go program. This means that funds taken from worker’s pay checks today are used to pay current benefits to the disabled, elderly, widows and dependent children. From day one, the money went directly to the people and any left over went into the Social Security Trust Fund. Due to the population demographics when it was first enacted, the Social Security Trust Fund was able to meet present demands because the money paid out in benefits was much less that the money taken in. So in its early years, the Social Security Trust Fund enjoyed a surplus of revenue.<br /> <br />But by the 60's during the Johnson administration the bills for the Vietnam War and “Great Society” programs were eating up the budget and Johnson was running huge deficits. Someone in his administration suggested they use the Social Security tax money to pay the bills to keep from having to borrow even more money at interest from international bankers and foreign governments. Johnson listened and started a precedent that has continued to this day. <br /> <br /> Under Johnson and every president since, the money taken from your paycheck for Social Security pays the benefits of all the people drawing Social Security for whatever reason and the money left over is used by the government to pay its bills. The government takes the money from the Social Security Trust Fund and puts an IOU back into the Social Security Trust Fund. These IOUs are in the form of non-commercial, non interest baring certificates. In effect the government is borrowing from itself. But unlike US Treasury Notes they are not sold to the public to raise money and they bare no interest. Its just a piece of paper to denote how much money the government has “borrowed” from the Social Security Trust Fund. <br /> <br />Without all this "borrowing" the Social Security Trust Fund would have trillions of dollars in reserve. But alas since the late 60's Uncle Sam has been taking it to keep the government rolling. From the Johnson administration on whether it was a Republican or Democratic administration, they’ve been “borrowing” from the Social Security Trust Fund to pay the bills and make it look like the government’s deficit is lower than it actually is, because they are paying the bills from money from the Social Security Trust Fund. This way they don’t have to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank or auction T Bills to make ends meet. This was the source of the bogus “surplus” Bill Clinton keeps talking about. <br /> <br /> Keep in mind people are living longer, a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) and early retirement were added to the original Social Security Act which meant more money was being taken in from taxes to pay for the increased benefits and beneficiaries. Also keep in mind the government was taking out money to pay their bills and not paying it back because more money was still coming in than was going out. But by the time of Reagans “trickle down” idiocy the government needed more and more money to cover the deficits Reaganomics caused. In fact under Ronald Reagan they had to increase the amount of money they took from us every pay day just to keep the scheme going. This was what the so called “bipartisan” plan to save Social Security where they started taxing Social Security benefits was really about.<br /> <br />But now the baby boomers are retiring, many illegal immigrants are getting benefits for their children, the population curve is in a downward trajectory and we are in an ongoing economic slump. So now more money is going out and less is coming in. Here’s where the plan to gut Social Security comes in. In order to extend the Bu$h tax cuts for the super rich Obama and the Democrats sold us out by agreeing to lower the amount of money taken out for Social Security under the guise of giving us more spending money to boost the economy. On the surface it sounds like a good idea but what this is doing is lowering the money coming into the Social Security Fund. But meanwhile the benefit costs are increasing and the government still “borrows” money as it comes in from this “pay as you go” system to pay its ever increasing bills. <br /> <br />What they are doing is setting Social Security up to go bust. As more boomers retire every day, more benefits are going out but less money will come in. The economy is still in a protracted tailspin and less tax money is coming into the Social Security coffers thanks to the “bipartisan” tax cut deal. This will hasten the day when Social Security pays out more than it actually takes in. When that happens the fascists will say, “See the system is costing us money, dissolve it.” Keep in mind the IOUs in the Social Security Trust Fund aren’t worth anything so the government can’t sell or auction them off to raise funds. They will be forced to either raise taxes or borrow even more money; this time outside the government to pay the Social Security benefits. Talk about a Catch 22 situation.<br /> <br /> So in effect these psychopaths have deliberately created a debt time bomb to implode Social Security thereby accomplishing what they’ve been trying to do for years; destroy or privatize it. Keep in mind your beloved Obama is in on it! Everything the oligopoly tells him to do he does. This could be the beginning of the end of Social Security unless some righteous politicians take a stand on our behalf.<br /><br /><p style="margin-bottom:0in;" class="western"><font color="#993300"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><u><strong>Posted by TheBlackList</strong></u></font></font> <font face="Tahoma"><u><strong>– <br /></strong></u></font><a href="http://www.theblacklistpub.nin.comwhat/"><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font size="2"><span style="font-style:normal;"><u><strong title="http://www.theblacklistpub.nin.comwhat/ CTRL + Click to follow link">http://www.theblacklistpub.nin.com</strong></u></span></font></font></font></a><font color="#993300"><font face="Impact, sans-serif"><span style="background:#ffff99 none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"><br />Follow me on <a title="http://twitter.com/theblacklist CTRL + Click to follow link" href="http://twitter.com/theblacklist">Twitter</a> and on <a title="http://www.facebook.com/KwasiAkyeampong.theblacklist CTRL + Click to follow link" href="http://www.facebook.com/KwasiAkyeampong.theblacklist">Facebook<br /></a>PhoneMeYourNews @ 646-820-5210<br /></span></font></font></p><br /><br /></div>"Re-Educating The Black Plight In America"https://www.theblacklist.net/profiles/blogs/reeducating-the-black-plight2010-05-26T03:35:09.000Z2010-05-26T03:35:09.000ZMin.

There is a way and we must embrace it now. Albert Einstein's definition of insanity was to keep doing things the same way and expecting a different result.

If it cannot be repetitiously duplicated it is of little to no value. Therefore, when we think about how blacks continually behave and react the same way does it not make sense as to why they never get anywhere economically? Consider how they repetitiously treat each other despite religion and beliefs that teach them otherwise.

I'd love to have you as one of my guest hosts to further delve into the information that you shared with me on tonight's show. The American policies that promoted and enforced the intentional exclusion of Blacks and Indentured Servants as early as the 1619 "Maryland Doctrine of Exclusion," 1638 policies of the same magnitude, and The 1665 Slave Laws. We will use these as tools for educating the masses. Especially our black brothers whose behaviors surely reflect the repressive mindsets inflicted upon our forefathers and inherently projected into today's black populous while being fueled by systemic "White Privileged" attitudes and like mindsets. Yes, there's work to be done and the choice does not belong to us as to whom will do it. It's everyone's responsibility now.

In contrast to the other two letters of John, this work was addressed to a specific individual, Gaius. This letter is less theological in content and purpose. The author's goal was to secure hospitality and material support for his missionaries, and the Presbyter is writing to another member of the church who has welcomed missionaries in the past. The Presbyter commends Gaius for his hospitality and encourages his future help. He indicates he may come to challenge the policy of Diotrephes that is based on evil gossip. The problems of the Presbyter in this short letter provide us with valuable evidence of the flexible and personal nature of authority in the early church. The Presbyter writes to Gaius, whom perhaps he had converted or instructed, on the basis of their personal links. The brothers have also confirmed him as a loyal Christian in action and belief. Gaius accepted the missionaries from the Presbyter and presumably will accept Demetrius on the Presbyter's recommendation. In contrast, Diotrephes refuses to receive either letters or friends of the Presbyter. Although he is portrayed as ambitious and hostile, he perhaps exemplifies the cautious and sectarian nature of early Christianity; for its own protection the local community mistrusted missionaries as false teachers. Most interestingly, Diotrephes seems comfortable in ignoring the requests of the Presbyter. The Presbyter seems to acknowledge that only a personal confrontation with Diotrephes will remedy the situation (3 John 1:10). The division, however, may also rest on doctrinal disagreement in which Gaius and the other "friends" accept the teaching of the Presbyter, and Diotrephes does not; the missionaries are not received for suspicion of theological error. Diotrephes has thus been viewed by some as an overly ambitious local upstart trying to thwart the advance of orthodox Christianity, by others as an orthodox church official suspicious of the teachings of the Presbyter and those in the Johannine school who think as he does, or by still others as a local leader anxious to keep the debates in the Johannine community out of his own congregation. This brief letter and the situation that it mirrors show us how little we know about some details of early development in the church: schools of opinion existed around which questions of faith and life were discussed, and personal ties as well as doctrine and authority played a role in what happened amid divisions and unity.<br />delete comment<br />GOD IS A WHITE MAN<br /> <br /><br />GOD IS A WHITE MAN<br /><br />3/10/2010 4:26 AM<br /><br />Then I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven wrapped in a cloud, with a halo around his head; his face was like the sun and his feet were like pillars of fire. 2 In his hand he held a small scroll that had been opened. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, 3 3 and then he cried out in a loud voice as a lion roars. When he cried out, the seven thunders raised their voices, too. 4 When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to write it down; but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders have spoken, but do not write it down." 5 Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by the one who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and earth and sea 4 and all that is in them, "There shall be no more delay. 7 At the time when you hear the seventh angel blow his trumpet, the mysterious plan of God 5 shall be fulfilled, as he promised to his servants the prophets." 8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, "Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land." 9 So I went up to the angel and told him to give me the small scroll. He said to me, "Take and swallow it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet 6 as honey." 10 I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and swallowed it. In my mouth it was like sweet honey, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then someone said to me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings." 7<br />delete comment<br />MsQuietStorm<br /> <br /><br />MsQuietStorm<br /><br />3/1/2010 10:35 PM<br /><br />Minister Patter.

Many of us were chosen against our Will which sooner or later mostly sooner succumbed to the mighty Will of God Himself. What I've said is that, 'My support for you and what you do to help all people especially the downtrodden black populous must continue unceasingly despite any odds!' And, there will be odds without doubt due to the fact that the devil has a job to put down and takeout whatever is not of His devise. The latter is our validation for success through perseverance.
