Good Morning,

I usually don't comment on the back and forth dialogue of most. I must say that the comments given by Mr. Jerome J. Peloquin were absolutely outstanding. Thank you for a breath of fresh air.

Gentlemen ...

I don;t know if this will contribute to the dialog (?) I would like it to be a footnote perhaps. I can't help but make a comment here ... An observation ... anything that divides us, anything that allows me to say, "... you are not like me ... you are one of 'them,' is evil! Yes, racism is evil but then so is any '..ism - tribalism, communism, fascism, Protestantism, Catholicism, and nationalism, etc, etc. etc.

In addition, one who engages in, 'ad homonym attacks on another contributes to the well of animosity and hate we have been building since the fall. Once you demonize someone for their opinions, the next step is dehumanization and you know where that leads. As to Jesus, I don't think there is much argument about the color of the skin of tha people of the bible. It was dark I think but likely not black. DNA should be able to make that decision for us. You can be pretty sure he was not a blond, blue eyed man.

We all carry in us the kernel of racism ... all of us. The Mormons used to believe that when God put a mark upon Cain, that mark was skin color ... man has used the deity as a rationale for most of his hatred. The southern baptists, most notably in antebellum America. Yes, we have many reasons to hate if we wish to find them ... but all of man's gods, fundamentally teach love ... yes, in both the Koran and the Old Testament there are egregious examples to the contrary and the hate mongers among us have turned then to their purposes. However we may want to hate, it is not logical. Revenge is simply not a productive undertaking... no matter how satisfying it may seem at the moment. It can never cure the pain ... never. Only forgiveness can accomplish that. As the Chinese say, "... he who sets upon the road to revenge should first dig two graves." Hate and self righteousness and their cousin War, are the bane of humanity. What might we have done without them?

Maybe I'm getting old (maybe?) a quote from another French Philosopher. It goes like this, ... one day, man in all his brilliance will learn to harness the power of love. Then, for the second time in human history, he will have discovered, Fire! At some point in the life one comes to this realization. It has taken me 75 years. Likely this does not help wither Rob or Robby in this trial by words. I think it helps me though.

My Dear Robby,

Your last post (today) is a Perfect example of your contradictory stances -- it is like you want some attention. Furthermore, your response earlier this week sounds really mentally challenged -- This mindset of yours shows that your brain is just not processing properly. This is my short answer.

My Long answer:

As to your comment about Black People being "Perpetual" victims --- while it may not last forever, we have a long way to go to stop the attacks on us so that it does not become Perpetual!! As it stands -- it sure is perpetual!! The few who "wash out in the spin" just makes it look and seem possible, but as long as you are willing to stand up against White Supremecy (Not ALL White People -- so don't confuse the two), you could easily be sucked back in the turbine of Oppression!

Just so you know, Colonization is being reinvented all the time to be more than Land Acquisition and "British Colonies". It is quite obvious that you as a "Black" Man don't even know that your brain has been COLONIZED!! Like a good friend who is a very intelligent African American/Black Man says -- All African Americans ain't Black as Black is a Consciousness (Mindset), a Culture! So you get it, being Black is a Consciousness/Culture of a set of people understanding that they are oppressed based on the color of their skin being pigmented by many of those whose skin is NON-PIGMENTED!! To be Global, BLACK is any non-white culture who has been colonized, had their natural resources pilfered or still controlled, or under some level of subsidy while the benefits have been or still is being stolen (mines, oil, brain drained with immigration opportunities, etc).

So, while some African Americans turn the other cheek, or expose the other cheeks because you choose not to face the reality, or you choose to be pacified by your "arrival" status in a "diverse" world, it is only a matter of time when it is your 5 Black Boys to their 1 White Boy is being carted off to prison or being shot. Like I said a few nights ago on the Radio in response to the question "is Ferguson the tipping point" -- my answer was that "the right person's child hasn't been killed as yet". The immediate response of an African American/Black Man was "Let the victim be Blue Ivy and see what happens". I am assuming what was meant was that at that point, the Royalty of Hip Hop, Jayz and Beyoncé will then take control of this runaway train that allow our kids to be attacked and killed (physically, emotionally, mentally) and lead the turn around!!

As to your MOST STUPID COMMENT -- "No matter if you say we are oppressed, we are not victims" -- it is impossible to be oppressed and not be a victim unless you don't even know that you are automatically a victim if you are oppressed - and so are our kids! The WE is not all inclusive. So you know -- we are now speaking to exactly the statement you posted today -

"There is no voice for the politically unimportant in that group is increasingly black poor and old" --- We know that -- the question is do you know that? and if you do, what was that stupid set of brainwashed responses last week about?

Oppression takes on many different approaches on making one a victim and your comment definitely identifies you to be so brainwashed that you are in a state of denial!!! Let me tell you, while you may have a job, an education, be a homeowner, etc., you are still very much a victim. Just go walk down the wrong street in a hoodie and some jeans and see how soon you will be able to identify! Ignorance is bliss -- and then one day you will wake up when the finger or gun is pointed at you.

So as to not allow your perspective to be representative of Black People in America, let me continue to address this in detail so that your viewpoint only solidifies the Racist Mentality and not affect us freedom fighters (including the "Union Whites") -- My father told me that they are two types of Whites in America -- Union Thinking Whites and Confederate Thinking Whites!! Well, here is my opinion -- there are Currently four types of African Americans --- Slaves (mentally dead) the Judus(es), the Arrived (comfortable and quiet) and the Freedom Fighters -- (ones who are doing something on some level to bring all Black people as well as those true Union Whites on the above ground railroad with us into alignment / consciousness)! Just so you know -- the Slaves and the Judus(es) are sometimes one and the same

So if you haven't figured it out, because we have Slaves like you who would like to call what I and others propagate as "Historical Farce" and "showmanship", I take the time to be clear beyond question! And just so you know, those European Americans who are "loving and hugging you up" - they are just using you to indoctrinate their oppressive agenda. Just so you know, their "breast milk" is lacks nutrition and makes a body septic to ones true culture!

Anyways, you seemed to have conveniently missed my sympathy for both deaths and their families in my previous email.Yes - Both deaths are tragedies. But I think you know that I mentioned that but yet you chose to mislead others who because of their prejudice viewpoints and their need to wash away the sins of their forefathers whose DNA still runs through so many of them, would like to hitch a ride onto your thought process.

So you get it, all animals know to do certain things to stay alive or to not become extinct; that is why it is innate to so many European Americans as to feeling IMPERIAL or willingly or unwillingly participating in the 21st Century White Supremacy Movement!! Maybe there is some truth to Whites saying that if you have 1/32 of Black Blood in your body, you are Black. Kind of like the Movie Underworld -- Vampires know each other and Werewolves know each other -- Maybe that is how we have so many Whites who are assisting us on this Above Ground Railroad! Maybe this help is all due to the "sins" of their fathers or they are just good folks like so many of us Black people are.

Back to the matter at hand - the numbers of Black Men being killed by police officers are not the same ratio of Black Men to White Men living in America; actually, the ratio is inversed. If you had a proper population ratio being represented in this statistic, I would have to agree with your thought process. The fact is that the population of White (not including Hispanics) to Black Men in United States is 5:1. However, the population of Black Men being shot and killed compared to White Men being shot and killed is more than the inverse of the population. It is a shame that you don't see something wrong with that to the point that you want to mesmorize up with your compassion! Really -- you don't think that to most of us (Black, White, Brown, Pink, Green, Orange and Yellow), any death other than death by natural causes is a tragedy? Bro, even a Skunk knows when to fire off!!

Back to the numbers and why so many people look at the tragedies very differently. Tell me -- What is wrong with those figures. Once again, if the ratio was 5:1 White Men being Shot and Killed by the police, then I would have to agree with your viewpoint regarding the deaths carrying Equal weight. However, there is nothing equitable about these two deaths. So while police need more training, demilitarizing, mental illness evaluations etc. to prevent this from happening to either Blacks or Whites, let's not continue to put "lipstick" on the Racist Pig Mentality whose goal is to Brainwash us into thinking everything is equal while they continue to colonize every aspect of our societies!

Now that so many Police are being forced to wear cameras -- Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Let's see how soon DC adopts this rule!!

SIDE NOTE-- Just imagine, White America's Imperialistic approach to keeping Blacks and Hispanic Separate is to classify Hispanics as White while still trying to put them out of a country which half belonged to them!! But it is ok to give Jews back their homeland Israel but not the Mexicans -- who are really AMERICAN INDIANS!! So, not only should Mexicans be allowed to at least live in the western half of United States, they should be treated like the American Indian -- be able to qualify for Tax Free Status!! Just so you know, there should be some relief for African Americans as European Americans stole their life's equity (Slave Labor, Land, Spouses, Children, possessions, families, etc.) to build the land that we live in and to propel the now White American Bloodline.

You can say that you are "not a victim to some omnipotent White Man, but you are. Just listen to yourself. You can Promote that Blonde Hair and Blue Eye agenda all you want but it ain't working. Just so you know -- Jesus being propagated as Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed is one of the foremost CRIMES upon humanity. The Catholic Church, England and Many White Americans have allowed this FARCE to be utilized as a WEAPON to wage psychological WAR and destroy humanity. Just so you know, England doesn't have any natural resources!!! How do they survive? Not against that country thriving, but for other countries thriving as well?

That Damn internet and the fact that Black People can and do read now makes a huge difference. So, no matter how much lipstick you put on that Blonde Hair Blue Eyed Pig-ish approach to OMNIPOTENCE, it is still the most incriminating, SWINE-ISH proof that certain parts of European Culture has been and is attempting Supremacy through theft of others NATURAL RESOURCES (minerals, oil, gas and our minds), OUR LAND, OUR STORIES and OUR CULTURE that exists!! Isn't it a shame that in 2014, Hollywood still refuses to image Jesus properly in their latest film -- While the actor was Portuguese he sure looked European to Me!! As a matter of fact, let's take a look at the 9 people who has been Imaged as Jesus over the years -- by the way -- all looked European http://news.moviefone.com/2014/03/07/actors-jesus-photos/

When you are done looking at that, start looking at the History Channel and see how many Black Inventors from thousands of years ago is imaged -- We are talking about inventions from Egypt from 1000s years ago but no one who is represented is BROWN!! Sprite had it right -- Image is everything!!!

How is that for putting lipstick on a Pig!! You are not brainwashing me and more and more people are becoming resilient to the White Imperialism and White Supremacy!! You see, the internet is becoming a great equalizer -- it allows for access to True/Real information for the first time!!

And before you get it twisted, I respect Jesus as a "Prophet" and if part of the world would like to address him as God, I am also cool with that. You see, I can't allow anyone to tell me that my entire Indian Culture (Hindus) are going to hell because they don't believe that Jesus is God!! I won't allow you or anyone to tell me that Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, and the rest of the Organized Religious Sects are all going to hell because they don't believe that Jesus is GOD!! And just so you know, I attend Church and Mosque quite frequently. Haven't been to the Hindu Temple in a while but I do attend the Sikh and Hindu temple on occasion.

So, you nor any other Imperial Thinking Person (Black or White or Other) will simply not be COLONIZING MY BRAIN with FOOLISHNESS!!!! As each day goes by with access to more and more TRU-STORIES, I become more and more free from the chains that have anchors on each and everyone of us. Information is to the brain as helium is to a balloon -- So you get it, Balloons are used to identify a celebration -- and that day is coming --- Jesus (fairness) is coming!!!!! It is only a matter of time until most of us here in the United States will have some pigmentation! That's the Jesus we are waiting for!

Once again, the fact that JESUS is perpetuated around the world as a Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed OMIPOTENT GOD and all the MOVIES put out portray him to be so as well, says that there has been a movement to victimize you/us of your true heritage/culture. At some point, WE ALL have to make sure that Jesus is identified as a "Black" (Non-European) Man!! So, reading isn't the end all -- comprehending is more important; and putting it into action is a must!

And then there is evolution or changing of one's mindset which is the most tough struggle with all that one has been previously taught and is bombarded with on a daily basis. Robby, your thought process identifies you to that of a flea in the jar who used to have a lid on it -- you have been conditioned to not jump any higher. The problem is that while "your people" fought for you to be able to read, they forgot to get you the proper books to read from. I honestly believe your history books was published in Texas!

Honestly Robby --you are the perfect 21st Century Slave-- you still refuse to run away from the mental plantation of White Supremacy on which you were placed to live and work!! The worst part of it is that you are trying your best to stop others from running away by propagating your ignorance!! -- you are now a street reporter for "Fox News"!!!

If only the OLD OAK/CEDAR TREES (Walls) COULD TALK!!

As soon as you get an opportunity, Run to the Forest Robby, Run!

Robby,

Hey Bro. I didn't make the statement. Arguably the most intelligent human brain made that statement that Racism was a "disease of White People"! I and so many just endorse it. So, before you start this topical approach to analyzing the two situations, please take a few moments to allow what I wrote to marinate!

If you look at many of the articles written about Dillon Taylor (White Guy), you will see how these articles would like to make the incidents similar ---- like you are. While they may be similar from a tragedy of our youth (Black and White) being killed by Police Officers, I think that Michael Brown (Black Guy) is a result of so many more deep reasons that plague our Black Community!! As a Black Man, you should know this. Don't you think so? So, it is extremely harmful and dangerous to our community, especially our kids that you propagate such an equality as it relates to the tragic incidents. You couldn't possibly be this Blind or disconnected from reality!

The mere fact that Albert Einstein's viewpoint/position and discussions have been kept secret all these years shows the position of our oppressors. Maybe Albert Einstein knew that as a Jew, he was just a light skin Black Man!! If you google his statement "disease of White People", you will see that others who knew Albert Einstein referenced his feeling of Blacks in America to Jews in Germany under Hitler.

I am betting that this information was so quiet that so many of our Civil Rights leaders never knew of it or it may have been a more focused upon statement!! You see, Einstein's theory of Relativity is very similar to his theory on Racism here in America!!

So, yes, we know of this case. I am sure that they are others but other than a "TOPICAL" similarity, the killings are totally different. SIX SHOTS, the 98% White Police Force and the Statistics Below says so. However, I sent out a post a few days ago about the inequalities of oppressive attitude in the area where Mr. Brown lived -- See below if you missed my previously sent email on the statistics.

So, while so many African Americans suffer from lack in solidarity from other African Americans who get up in the morning and put on BRICK Sunglasses as well as the lack of solidarity from other Black Cultures throughout the world, many of us get our reality. You see, Dubois "10%" talented tenth fleeing our communities didn't just affect us from our professionals, but also depleted our communities of our talented voices. So many who moved out assimilated into their new environments and accepted altered viewpoints -- Tarzan (our talented 10th) living in the jungle (amongst oppressors) and being part of the ape family for so long affected his viewpoint of the goals of his people. That is what Planet of the Apes was all about. Let's put some European Americans in a position like what African Americans have endured and see what the result is. I bet they get a whole lot of Reparations other than "welfare" (which really was set up for Whites and is still mostly utilized by Whites) and "Affirmative Action" -- which forces folks into the direction of fair -- but definitely not equal!!

So Robby, if you look at the deaths of young African American Men compared to young European American Men, the ratio of young European American Men being shot or beaten by Cops vs. our African American Men does not properly reflect the 12% African American population and the 6 shots into Mr. Brown. So, while the tragedy here is that both young men are dead, the bigger issue is that we need to psychologically change the mindset of people.

Maybe, we need to get the Catholic Church to take down all the Blonde Hair, Blue Jesus Statues and pictures from churches and from Text Books which psychologically has the world believing that Jesus, Mary, the Angels and everyone associated with "GOD" is of European Origin. Maybe they will give us back our True Stories that has been stolen, hidden away or lightened to psychologically oppress us. You see, My father imaged me differently so I don't have those limitations but somehow, so many in our community have been "Imaged" improperly!!

Here is an example to digest - When you think of Africa, what is the image that you have. Even for the "Black" mindset, I am sure it is not a very developed one as most of the images about Africa shown around the world are mostly jungle, animals, land rovers, shanty villages, etc. Imagine what the European American vision of Africa is!!

Maybe the DC Govt. will take on this issue as part of Mental Health ----- how RACISM psychological impairs our entire Community (Black and White). Maybe we can pass legislature to help with the crimes against humanity as so many of us (both Black and White) have been brainwashed. Maybe we should pass legislation that any new book published in United States should properly reflect history -- Let's teach from a Google Perspective on History -- thank god for the internet when it comes to Wars (Foreign and Domestic). Had it not been for the internet, we would still be in the dark about so much. Imagine how much of TRUTH in OURSTORY (Not History) we haven't begun to know as yet.

We all know that Christopher Columbus didn't discover America but that is one of the smaller brainwashing topics which is still being taught and needs to be addressed. We know that a lot of Art and Historical Documents, Artifacts and other items are in museums all over the world -- most probably have been stolen -- why haven't they been returned to their perspective countries? At some point, any country who holds items belonging to other Nations should be tried for War Crimes!!

The question came up in my household -- "how do we deliver on Reparations"? Maybe we can start here with the return of culture and truths about actual origins rather than continue to propagate falsehood. Maybe this will begin to unwind the mental chains of racism and prejudice that keeps the "class" system that you speak of. For sure, European Americans will be forced to learn OUR HISTORY instead of HIS(STORY). Maybe Kaya Henderson can install a class that every child has to participate in -- one hour a day dedicated to historical facts that will unwind the minds that is bombarded with racist information/attitude/programing, etc.

Make that a mandatory "history" class. Teach our kids about all the "Einstein's" of the world and their contribution to humanity. I will close this with ----- According to Gates, an African-American physicist "These examples have led him to conclude that “diversity actually matters, independent of the moral argument.” Gates said he believes “there is a science of diversity out there waiting for scholars to discover it.”

I AM WILLING TO BET THAT CLASSES ON "TRU-STORIES" (OUR HISTORY) WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN DISCOVERING (UNWRAVELLING) THE SCIENCE OF DIVERSITY.

THE REALITY OF FERGUSON BEGINS TO APPEAR

By Phoebe Loosinhouse

Whenever things make absolutely no sense to you, it may make sense to someone.

And nine times out of ten, what has previously appeared nonsensical may make sense, especially if someone somewhere is making money from the nonsense.

When the whole Michael Brown episode appeared out of nowhere, I am sure that I am not alone when I wondered, how is it remotely possible that a young man could end up dead for jaywalking? But perhaps part of the riddle has been solved by Newsweek, in an exemplary story displaying actual curiosity, investigation and journalism:

Please follow below for the story.

In this exceptional article by Victoria Bekiempis she draws our attention to:

Arch City Defenders: Municipal Courts White Paper

in which we discover

“Despite Ferguson’s relative poverty, fines and court fees comprise the second largest source of revenue for the city, a total of 2,635,400,” according to the ArchCity Defenders report. And in 2013, the Ferguson Municipal Court issued 24,532 arrest warrants and 12,018 cases, “or about 3 warrants and 1.5 cases per household.”

Is there another city or town anywhere that averages 3 warrants per household?

Further we learn of a city which uses the oppression of its poor minority population in a concentrated and what appears to be, conscious, effort to exploit them by issuing an alarming and disproportionate amount of tickets and warrants in the first place and then driving up the costs of these offense exponentially through such trickery as:
(Again from the Newsweek article citing the ArchCity Defenders report)

Exacerbating the problem, the report says, are "a number of operational procedures that make it even more difficult for defendants to navigate the courts." A Ferguson court employee reported, for example, that “the bench routinely starts hearing cases 30 minutes before the appointed time and then locks the doors to the building as early as five minutes after the official hour, a practice that could easily lead a defend net arriving even slightly late to receive an additional charge for failure to appear.”

This is horrible. On the heinous scale it is just below the judges in Pennsylvania who sent juveniles off to private for profit prisons in order to earn kickbacks.

It might be instructive to ask what would have happened to Michael Brown if his jaywalking offense had been handled in what appears to be the "normal" manner in Ferguson. Based on what the above, I would have to think that he would be issued summons for jaywalking and then might possibly have been obstructed from appearing, adding additional warrants and fines that he would not have been able to pay. And that's probably the BEST outcome he could have hoped for.

He might also have been arrested for shoplifting, assault and jaywalking, all with escalating penalties and punishments - he may have found himself to be labeled a felon, in which case his hopes for a future would have been dashed as most companies require background checks and bonding.

Very simply, a town that bankrolls itself through racial profiling and harassment of minority citizens in penny ante driving violations which are then ratcheted up in both costs and ramifications through manipulative measures, is EXACTLY the kind of place where a jaywalking offense would spiral out of control.

There really is something very systemically awful going on in that town and it took the death of black teenager to draw world's eyes to it.

In Ferguson Missouri, it would seem that the future of Michael Brown became irremediably clouded once he jaywalked and drew police attention to himself.

I understand that the town of Ferguson has hired a PR firm.

One of the things that has come out is that the power structure in Ferguson is almost exclusively Caucasian despite the fact that the 2010 census showed a 70/30 ratio of African Americans vs White population. Yet, despite this, according to The LA Times

Ferguson’s police chief and mayor are white. Of the six City Council members, one is black. The local school board has six white members and one Latino. Of the 53 commissioned officers on the police force, three are black, said Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson.

How can this be? we ask ourselves.

Well, one of the fruits of disparate policing and the spiraling of charges and the mass transformation of an entire population into fugitives due to outstanding bench warrants is that that same population has now been successfully disenfranchised of their vote. Felons don't vote* and fugitives don't vote.

Could that possibly provide part of the answer for the imbalance at the top in Ferguson? Is Ferguson an example of a perfect alignment of how imbalanced policing leads to imbalanced justice leads to imbalanced representation and voter suppression?

The lessons to be taken away from Ferguson and Michael Brown's death are many. I hope that his death may lead to changes in Ferguson, and in Missouri and in our country at large.

*(To be clear, the law in Missouri seems to be that felons may re-instate their right to vote and re-register once all sentences, probation, and parole have been completed)

Well Rob,

We have a moment now after the death of Dillon Taylor (white guy) and Michael Brown (black guy) to have a serious talk about the militarization of police departments writ large. We have a moment to realize that race is important, but so is class, and the bigger issue is that our cops are not close quarters combat (CQC) soldiers. Until we grapple with the latter, the former two will not matter. We will always have race and class, sex and gender, etc. What we can affect is the militarization of police departments. It goes beyond weapons, but to an entire attitude centered around a perversion of protecting and serving. Police service like all public service is noble. There are amazing police officials that do excellent work protecting the public and the peace. That notwithstanding, if cops want to engage in military style CQC efforts then they should join the military. Law enforcement, as we saw during Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidian standoffs, can go too far. We don't know why Misters Brown and Taylor were shot. Perhaps the cops feared for their lives. There really is no way to know, what is clear is the paramilitary approach should be used sparingly if at all. If military force is needed, then get this, deploy the national guard (yes it's what MO ultimately did). They are trained to deploy military processes because, well, they are military.

Now for the racial profiteers, the dead white guy presents a problem. They can't make money or grow influence if they elevate the dead white guy story. All the propaganda masks a fact that was common to both dead young men. They were working class to poor. Instead of working towards common ground around looking at police use of deadly force or anything that could benefit all. The liberal advocacy industrial complex has Michael Brown, the conservative advocacy industrial complex has Dillon Taylor. What's sad is nothing will happen long term. Well except for a wealthy person getting slapped on the wrist for racing police in an expensive sports car, or shooting a man in their living room. Money it seems heals even the racial divide.

Good Morning,

Just wanted to share this wonderful piece of information:

http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2007/04/albert-einstein-civil-rights-activist/

According to Gates, an African-American physicist "These examples have led him to conclude that “diversity actually matters, independent of the moral argument.” Gates said he believes “there is a science of diversity out there waiting for scholars to discover it.”

The issue is whether or not we want to embrace the responsibility we all share in asking ourselves simple questions like one that Einstein may have asked himself,

"What would my (My = my father, grandfather, great grand-father, (mother) etc.) life be like if I were black?"

Ask yourself a simple question like this --- How many of our young White/European American Boys have been shot and killed by our Police Officer here in United States?

Why is it that we don't know that Albert Einstein, a Jew and one of the most revered intelligent persons ever, was such an active fighter for Civil Rights here in America. While Einstein can make a general statement like "a disease of White people", we dare not. So we know that we have some Whites/European Americans who are not Racist, we just need to identify who they are. A good way would be to see who all aligns with our struggles, especially the rights of our Children!!

I wonder what other information is hidden from us?

Rob
