The Sport of Racism: there'll Owens: Lynching reloaded

Here is another sounding of the alarm for even that is in the state of Utopia. It doesn't matter if a black man has only a cardboard box to live in or Millions of dollars at his disposal, black men have THREE designated positions that America would like to place them in. The first one is of course in the Grave yard. You can research the creation of AIDS and the history of lynching for evidence of that. The Second position for the oh so powerful strapping young buck is obviously prison. There is no need to give endless statistics on how black men dominate the prisons. For further evidence you can just read the fine print on the 13th Amendment which makes imprisonment(New MILLENNIUM slavery) %100 legal. And now the third position is of course the one that may be amongst the most subtle. The capitalizing of the natural melanated ability the black man AKA MUSIC and SPORTS. Before I continue please read this. Now after you have read this the perceptive mind will soon realize that this contraversey is based on two factors. One is the fact that the American system is designed to keep you distracted, divided and your attention diverted from issues of REAL importance. The second factor is that white people base their interactions on how you make them feel not how they feel about you. Now in the recent distraction Terrell Owens is featured in a locker room scene with an actress from the new television series Desperate Housewives. Now lets ask a question for one second. If Donovan McNabb would have done the skit instead of Owens would we really be upset. Or lets say if it was another sport like basketball. If you replace Terell Owens with Allen Iverson I am sure America would be pretty pissed off. However if it was Tim Duncan or Grant Hill America would most certainly be ok with those strapping young black bucks caressing a towel wrapped blond WHITE bombshell. Now this skit is really no big deal until you place it in its proper context. When it comes down to sports racism is all over the place and the essence of racism is present in almost every level of sports entertainment. It is just more subtle and refined. Poor whites subconsciously and some times consciously dislike the fact that black men dominate sports so blatatantly. And with the rise of Hip Hop culture these black men are not only talented but extremely rich and boastful. This mixture of extreme and expressed arrogance does not rub well with its white spectators. It is for those reasons that athletes like a Terrell Owens or a Chad Johnson will get much more slack(modern day lynching) then an athlete that is less vocal and what most white people would call more modest and humble. We have to by now know that this is a double standard that is not going to change any time soon. By double standard I am comparing to the fact that the co-opting of a black woman in the mainstream media is widely accepted and applauded. No one gets highly offended when OPRAH WINFREY repeatedly turns to a Jewish man to help help her extend her creative vision and become a billionaire. You can analyze her relationship with Steven Spielberg and her Jewish business for evidence of that. Halle Berry does everything but give Billy Bob Thornton a blow job in Monsters Ball and of course she is heralded as a great black actress and given an academy award. So when you see things like this please understand that it is a distraction and something that must happened in order to reinforce and strengthen a system that is the direct enemy of ALL BLACK MEN.

mental health

How do you know if the problems you are having are because you are black or because you are an American? Or is there a difference? Well an upcoming book may explain such questions and many more. The book entitled No Secrets No Lies: How Black Families Can Heal From Sexual Abuse by Robin D. Stone, addresses such issues. In reading the review and excerpts from the book it raised a lot of key points that black people especially black men should analyze. One that particularly stood out with me was the fact that when it comes to serious mental health issues like molestation and family abuse, most health professionals are mostly white. How can black people be treated for the emotional problems if the person treating them has no clue about the day to day issues that are isolated within a singular ethnic group? The notion itself would seem to be a contradiction in terms.

In fully assessing yourself as an African-American, it would be really wise to always consider your sources in picking and choosing the outlets and people that are to assist you in your day to day activities and problems. It would also behoove even the most naive black person to chart and scrutinize which aspect of his/her life is a result of hundreds of years of slavery and which aspects are a result of modern day living. For future reviews of unique and noteworthy literature to read please visit here. Also stay tuned for a future review of the above mentioned book.

Charity and optimism

I am pleased to write about a more cheerful aspect to black men then I would normally choose to address. In conducting my daily research on various topics I was happy to come across something that made a smile to my face. Something kind of small but really very big. A nice change of quick reading that this angry black man needed to read. It was this. After reading this I made a decision right on the spot that this would be a charity that I would love to give back to. Now I am normally skeptical about mainstream charities and giving tithes to the largest institution for black people. THE BLACK CHURCH. However the was a certain feeling that came over me when reading this article. I would like to take this time to give much appreciation to the the black police officers that took it upon themselves to give back to their community while simultaneously patrolling the streets and risking their lives in the name of fighting crime. Although I am normally harsh on police officers ESPECIALLY BLACK POLICE OFFICERS, I must tip my hat to these gentlemen because starting an organization to help our youth in this way is very noble.

Concerned Black Men, Inc. (CBM) was founded in 1975, when five (5)African-American police officers organized enrichment activities forPhiladelphia area youth. Today, the National Organization of Concerned Blackman, Inc. conducts "best-practice" youth prevention programs in the Nation'sCapital. Additionally, its 24 chapters offer a variety of projects andactivities such as oratory contests, spelling bees, youth conferences, collegetours and other opportunities for youth throughout the country. During thelast school year, approximately 10,000 children and youth were touched by CBM programs and activities nationally.

Pricing and waging us out of existence!

Be sure to check out the upcoming statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of course I was prompted to refer to the Bureau of Labor Statistics after reading a very distressing article. What it says in a nutshell is that black men need to have a serious ECONOMIC AGENDA. And no this agenda should not solely depend on a COLLEGE DEGREE, RAPPING, SINGING, DANCING OR ENTERTAINMENT. In the most recent report, the unemployment rate among black teens stood at 37 percent - more than double the rate for white teens. The percent of the black teen population employed was just 20 percent agenda. For a real outlook of the amount of ass kicking that the black man is taking please feast your eyes on this alarming article. Stunned! Well don't be. What this article reflects is the result of what happens when a collective of people don't realize that they are a collective of people. That's right folks WE ARE A NATION. And all nations have a strong sense of identity and plenty to offer the world. Unfortunately black people especially black men are operating like a colony.

Now one main thing that seriously frightened me while reading this article was the fact that upward mobility amongst black women seems to be increasing while such mobility is drastically decreasing amongst black men. An example of this is given the article.
"Low employment among young black men is very costly – to themselves, to their families and children, and to the nation as a whole. For instance, low employment among men is strongly associated with crime, and at the national level, crime and prisons cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars each year". Just reading this is infuriating enough, so infuriating that I don't need to mention that %30 of all black men in the country has been to prison at some point. ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS, ECONOMICS, SELF IDENTITY. These are issues that will continously be addressed by this writer in full detail, stay tuned.

Know Thyself

In order to win this war that has been waged against the black man the first step is knowledge of self. The first piece of knowledge is knowing what I am made of and knowing that the enemy within is the first enemy. This means that there is a strong negative and carnal nature that exists inside of me that I have to discipline. This lower nature consists of sex urges, dietary habits and industrialized living that is counter to nature. At any given time these primal urges can override my good nature and make me do things that a civilized person would not do. Survival has a way of turning good men into evil doers. Regardless of White Supremacy, each man is responsible for his own destiny. NO EXCUSES. Understanding that the black man comes from a rich history of Kings and great rulers is essential to keeping an upright and civilized nature. As well as studying and emulating the many servants and liberators of the black race. To gain a proper self-identity and self awareness will take great research and a tremendous information foundation to stand on. The first step is to understand the basic differences between the black man and the white man. The primary difference is genetic. Also melanin and carbon are what primarily set us apart from white men. Carbon and melanin coupled with geographical origin is the basis of all that is and all that was the biggest obstacle to the progression of not just African men but African women as well. It would behoove the student that wishes to explore his black self in detail to fully understand the scope that melanin and carbon play in how black people interconnect with the Universe. It is the melanin in our bodies that allows us to process and with stand all that is the sun for tremendous lengths of time.

It is said that all humans possess melanin but not to the degree that African peoples all over the world do. Black people have around 360 melanin centers in there stomach region as opposed to Caucasians which only have about 40. The African/black human has primarily 12 melanin centers in the brain, while the non African/black human brain only has 2 melanin centers. The key to the effectiveness of melanin is the fact that it is primarily carbon based and is the most effective in handling the heat and rays of the SUN the primary life giver on planet earth. The ancestors of not only the world but primarily black people had highly developed body parts and organs especially a part of the human body called the pinaeal gland. This part of the body along with the pituitary gland allows individuals to sense things and visualize things in their environment that cannot be sensed through the ordinary five senses. Over time with the creation of the Caucasians and with the adaptation of the habit of eating these senses have been diluted and abused to the point where they are far less affective in these modern times then they were in the past. Also, the Universe through its natural ever evolving design has created the original human beings on the spectrum of what we know as black, jet black to be more descriptive.

The evolution of human beings came about through millions of years of the earths natural elements reacting with the ever expanding Universe and solar systems that it is intertwined with. From the creation of simple organisms and various life giving elements, humans took shape. Of the four primary elements involved in the creation of human beings, the first human beings were highly carbon based. What does this have to do with the black man? Carbon has 3 forms. Three naturally occurring forms. Diamond, graphite and charcoal. Each of these forms are originally BLACK in its formation and discovery. The original substances molded to form the original human being were of this color and of this element. The color black is the only color that can absorb all other colors that exist in the color spectrum. It is said that the sun radiates seven different wave bands or spectrums that consist within white light. When the white light of the sun comes in contact with something physical, then that white light is fragmented into seven different colors. Depending on the properties of that physical object will determine the outward appearance and color that the objects manifests. The only color to fully absorb all of these colors in the spectrum is BLACK. To test this out, grab a piece of black construction paper and a piece of white construction paper. Next take both pieces and stand in front of a light bulb. Now first take the white piece of paper and hold it in front of the light bulb. Then observe what happens. Then after that, take the black piece of construction paper and place it in front of the light bulb. Then observe what happens. After this is done a small picture of who black people are and the necessity of a strong black male self image will slowly start to come in scope. For a life long journey of knowing one self and becoming a strong black man in opposition to GLOBAL WHITE SUPREMACY, studying and constant reading of books, scholars, lectures and African history is more important than food. Not to mention an intense focus on health which will be further outlined in the latter steps in the BLACK MANS SURVIVAL GUIDE.

R.I.P CHARLES

I dedicate this survival guide for black men to my friend that just passed away on July 24th, 2004. Your death in my eyes was very senseless. There are scores of black men that die daily, but since my dear friend died, the necessity of black male awareness has been even more so at the fore front of my brain. Humans killing humans is probably the worst thing that can happen on the planet earth. His death was senseless because he was murdered. He wasn't murdered for a cause like liberation or basic civil and human rights. He wasn't murdered in the act of martyrdom. Instead he was stabbed in the parking lot of a chain restaurant. That's right stabbed in the heart two times after being jumped. Two men taking swings at him while the other coward pulled out his knife and stabbed him. Why did he have to die? I tell you why he had to die because of NIGGAS. Not black people that have common sense but BLACK MEN that are ignorant. This is the perfect example of why black men need a survival guide in this wilderness that we call AMERICA. We need a survival guide not just for protection against white supremacy but for THE BLACK MALE savage behavior. Charles I just want to say I miss you. Its not your fault that your own brothers are savages. Reflecting on your death makes me ashamed to be connected with some of these so called men calling themselves black. A real black man doesn't take the life of another black man. A real black man is educated. A real black man is respectful and responsible. A real black man knows how to peacefully solve his problems and constantly work at mastering how to arbitrate disputes. It is because of your death and the countless other deaths and incarceration of black men that makes me isolative and want to discontinue my black pass. How can I scream revolution and freedom of oppression when my own image and reflection on earth(black men) kill each other with such flagrant disregard. WE DON'T READ, WE DON'T STUDY, WE DON'T LEAD OUR WOMEN, AND WE OUR CAUGHT UP WITH SUPPORTING EVERYONE BUT OURSELVES. Well I am sick of preaching and trying to uplift the black man when all he wants to do is keep it real.

Charles I apologize, this entry isn't about me going on my soapbox it is about your memory. I put this writing down in the history books so it can be forever cast away to be found and discovered by the future generation. Charles I love you man and as long as I live your life will always be cherished and revived to the best of my abilities. I adopt you as my brother from another mother. My oldest brother also got stabbed so your death I take extra personal. The spot that you always worked at will be yours forever. I will turn it into a shrine. To all black men that want to continue to be ignorant then you can kiss my ass. From this day forward all black men are no longer my brother just because the color of their skin. So if you are a black man don't assume we are friends, family or kin folk. From now on black men have to earn their stripes. At this point in time I am even more prejudice. Except now my prejudice includes ALL BLACK MEN that are caught up in keeping it real instead of keeping it UPLIFTING. Charles if you are watching or listening you have to know that I miss you and you will forever be in my heart. R.I.P my brother and I will see you on ther other side. ONLY AFTER I BUST MY ASS TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE AND RID THIS EARTH WITH ALL USELESS BLACK MEN THAT DON'T WANT TO LOVE AND CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN RACE.

I LOVE YOU CHARLES.

The whole world owes me

Every one owes me just because I am a black man. I created the Universe, and I am looked at as the scum of the world. People have lost thier minds. I am GOD. I don't have to answer to anything. I am the reason this universe exists. No more prisons. And no more being ignored and disrespected by my women. Just being angry is no longer going to cut it. Waiting and struggling for a nine to five, fuck that. Those days are over. I am not marching, I am not protesting. Now I am demanding. I am taking and I am conquering. I don't want to be rich. Now I want to rule the world. I am sticking up the world for all it owes me. This is an official declaration of war. I am striking back, but this time the strike will be fatal. I(we) are under attack black men. We are still being killed off at a rapid level in a sophisticated fashion. Mind control and new age castration. How you say? If you have to ask why then you are lossed. You must learn. In new york city, half the black men are unemployed. THAT'S RIGHT UNEMPLOYED. And that doesn't even include people that are UNDER-EMPLOYED. So in a nutshell, more then half of all the black men in new york city are broke. Is it because we are lazy? MAYBE. Or it could be black men are tired of being ECONOMICALLY LYNCHED and realize that all we have is us and it is time to do for self.

So in devising my plan, we have to assess what the game is and who is playing. Who are our allies and who are our enemies? I have armed myself with the basic weapons of warfare. Or have I? I(we) scream white man this white man that, but who is this enemy that I am complaining about. How can the BLACK MAN, ME US YOU be so desperate. The lowest human that gets no respect. How can GOD be disrespected? That can only happen if I don't know who GOD is. I US ME WE YOU don't know who we are. So that is the problem. The black man is his first enemy. Ok so the first step to fighting this beast(white supremacy MIND SET) is to know myself. Hmmmmmmmm.
