An Open Letter To President Obama

One better - tell that man with the shovel who has been overcome with emotion to depart the US Congress, allowing new leadership to take over.

He can lead a daily "Civil Rights bus tour" from Atlanta to Selma Alabama.

On his off days he can look for the killer who about 6 weeks ago cut the head off of a Black woman in his district and threw her into the woods. This would be a better investment of time instead of seeking to fund "Civil Rights Cold Case Files" from 1955.

If you Cancel Black History Month, What would Planned Parenthood do?

Who would they honor?:)

How Does Planned Parenthood Celebrate Black History Month?


"The following statement appears on Planned Parenthood's website: "In observance of Black History Month, Planned Parenthood is celebrating the leadership of African Americans who led the fight for reproductive freedom." This is all very touching -- that Planned Parenthood would take time from their busy schedule of killing black babies in their Abortion Clinics -- to proclaim their appreciation for the African-American community. The Planned Parenthood website goes on to recognize the achievements of that famous advocate of nonviolence -- the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. as if Dr. King somehow posthumously approves the violent killings of the more than 1500 babies that will be destroyed in a black woman's womb every day, a significant portion of which, are performed in Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics."

However, the Planned Parenthood website that addresses Black History Month, mysteriously fails to mention all of the tax dollars that they receive from hard working African-Americans --- tax dollars which are used to help kill the more than 1500 unborn African-American babies every day.

The leading abortion providers have chosen to exploit blacks by locating 94% of their abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations. This high rate of abortion has decimated the black family and destroyed black neighborhoods to the detriment of society at large.

Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion. 1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion. 3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child.

In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King said, "The early church brought an end to such things as INFANTICIDE." What would Martin Luther King say to the church today? The Rev. Jesse Jackson once said: "That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us 'niggers'. It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder, they call it abortion.

They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore abortion can be justified".

Jackson's massive flip-flop on the abortion issue is further proof that his political future is far more important to him than are his principles.

With 1/3 of all abortions performed on Black women, the abortion industry has received over 4,000,000,000 (yes, billion) dollars from the Black community.

Does anyone actually celebrate black history month anymore anyway?

I was a little sick of hearing about George Washington Carver and his fucking peanuts by the 5th grade. The problem I've always had with "black" history month, is that it assumed "black" history began with slavery (or the plantation, if you will). Kind of like what you seem to always be talking about.

Isn't this just a waste of time to even request that it be cancelled?

I remember being in elementary school watching Buck Rogers in the 21st Century and during a Black History commercial break they covered the black man that invented potato chips. Now, here I am looking at this not so extra-ordinary white man save the hell out of the galaxy, and now my contribution to human civilization gets validated with fried potato peelings.

I couldn't understand then, at that age, why I had a difficult time processing that.

At the very least, cancel "Black Music Month"....now THAT is some dumb shit. All music is black music (as is history, I guess)...

Then you obviously know absolutely nothing about Carter G. Woodson and his purpose for starting "Negro History Week."

But I'm confident that The Perfect Proxy will do precisely what his slavematers tell him to do.

Umm ... interesting.

So, Mak, how did that work out for Carter G. Woodson and black folks?

...

...

?

Do black people have a healthy understanding of their history?

Does the rest of America have a healthy appreciation of "Negro" history?

Are little 6th grade kids in Indiana and Texas and South Carolina developing positive attitudes about black people because of "Black History Month"?

...

...

?

Un huh.

Ya'll Civil Rights era cats need to let it go.

THAT SHIT DON'T WORK.

For the record, my era begins when Black Power expands its scope into Pan-Afrikanism. I was trained first and foremost by the former SNCC radicals who made the Black Power March, but after they became Pan-Afrikanists.

There is no surprise that you would have a very narrow view of what Black History Month is. In addition to public/private/charter schools it’s celebrated by communities, colleges and universities, organizations, and churches. For Afrikan Americans it is the seminal component of the Sankofa project.

So, Mak, how did that work out for Carter G. Woodson and black folks?—DV

Its a work in progress, but I would say that it has worked out in many ways that the former weekly columnist for Marcus Garvey's "Negro World" hoped it would. Otherwise you would not be posting videos of people like Dr. John Henrik Clarke, and Dr. Tony Martin.

A people who ask the government to function as the custodians of their history won't be "a people" for very long.

"Black History Month" is patronizing.

"PanAfricanist" or "Civil Rights" ... it's all about the same thing ultimately:

"Asking / Demanding / Begging / Acceptance" of affirmation from the Plantation.

Black History Month is "Please acknowledge my history so I will feel like I have one".

Fuck anybody else's acknowledgment.

"Black History" IS HISTORY.

Black History" IS HISTORY.


And this has what exactly to do with Black History Month?

Are you advocating for the teaching of true history in schools?

You know, a history that talks about the true accomplishments of black folks throughout human history?

It that's what you're seeking, how exactly those Black History Month prevent that from happening?

Or, what does Arizona's new law about ethnic studies programs mean to the plan?

Do you have a plan for actually educating the great masses of children about real history?

Or, are you just poking folks with a stick and saying "Na, Naaaa, Na, Na Na"?

That statement is as empty of critical thinking, as it is full of historical ignorance. And it particularly reflects the white supremacist persecution of Pan-Afrikanism.

Dr. Tony Martin writing in the preface to his book “The Pan-African Connection: From Slavery to Garvey and Beyond,” explains:

“Pan-Africanism may be defined as the attempts of African peoples to link up their struggles for their mutual benefit. The pioneers of the movement thought largely of global linkages, but the dream of continental unity, of a United States of Africa, also buttressed their endeavors. The term itself was popularized by Henry Sylvester Williams who founded a Pan-African Association in England in 1897.

Pan-Africanism became inevitable with the inception of the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Europe, by scattering Africa to the winds, inevitably if unwittingly set in motion the process which would bring scattered Africa together again, at a higher level. It was inevitable that the forcibly uprooted Africans would yearn to rediscover their homeland.

In the New World, Pan-Africanism has generally been associated with Black Nationalism… In its Black Nationalist aspect Pan-Africanism has been an important component of the dominant ideology of the Black masses of North America. The largest mass movements of Afro-America have been nationalist and have included a strong African consciousness (e.g. the Liberia Exodus Association, the Akim Trading Company, the UNIA, and NOI). These have been Afro-America’s largest and most powerful movements. They have all revolved around the principles of race first, self-reliance, nationhood and Pan-Africanism.

If Black Nationalism/Pan-Africanism has been the dominant ideology of the New World African masses, it has also been a heavily PERSECUTED ideology. The powers that be have sought to destroy nationalist movements with a fervor not usually experienced, even by less conservative integrationist organizations.

Garvey was the most complete of Pan-Africanists, reaching organizationally into the lives of African peoples around the globe. He had no equal in this regard.”

DV, since you are so critical of the Civil Rights Movement, and Pan-Afrikanism, please explain what the people of your ideological genre have accomplished other than destructive criticism and parasitism. Don’t bother, we already know the answer—Not a Goddamn Thing.
