June 29, 2023 Against Affirmative Action | US Supreme Court Reverses A 1964 Decision, Discriminates Based on Race

"We want to make them pass the strongest civil-rights bill they ever passed, because we know that even after they pass it, they can't keep it" - paraphrasing Malcolm X. Recently, the forked tongue was uttered by the US Supreme Court against the 1964 promises of constitutional rights and equality. The United States Supreme Court June 29, 2023 decision against Affirmative Action proved his words true. 

The United States is in its second Post Reconstruction Era. It began after America's second Reconstruction (1950's-1960's), the Civil Rights Movement. Both happened almost one hundred years to the date of their firsts. That means the first Post Reconstruction (1870's to 1960's) period lasted almost one hundred years. America is currently in the 50th year of its second Post Reconstruction. Post Reconstruction is the period when the corrections of Reconstruction are undone and the status quo is returned. 

What America does internationally, it does domestically and vice versa. America's forked tongue does not keep its laws, agreements, promises, deals, commitments.... The same people in America that betray the countries of the world, have betrayed non White and non Asian American citizens. America has again gone back on its word. 

Anti Russia Sentiment | Ray McGovern on America's Use of "Others" to Gain Consent For War

As the world endures another United States' war, Ray McGovern speaks to Schiller Institute Harley Schlanger on how the American government gains consent for its wars. The use of the concept of "others" is to make targeted people seem less than human. The video of their discussion is below with a link. The Special Military Operation in Ukraine is indeed a United States proxy war against Russia. It is supported by the confessions of Angela Merkel, Francois Hollande and Petro Poroshenko on the true intent of the Minsk Agreements. The concept of "other" is again used to gain the consent of the American people for another United States' imperialist war.

Ray McGovern details examples found in America's history where the concept of "others" has been used to establish hate towards a targeted group. The hate fosters a sense of superiority over the targeted group. The three; hate, sense of superiority and concept of "others" are used to establish an entitlement. Armed with a sense of entitlement, Americans consent to the government that represents them and its treatment of targeted people. Ray McGovern reveals how the concept of "others" is married to Americans' consent for their government's continuous wars.

Race Baiting - What Is Really Being Said

Bantu Stephen Biko said "The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed." There are many ways that the oppressor controls the oppressed using this weapon. One of those ways is with words. As any writer knows the choice and arrangement of words is a vital tool in relaying to the reader. It can be done consciously and/or subconsciously. During centuries of oppression of the descendants of Africa in America, African Americans have met a barrage of control via words and their assigned meanings. Wording is also used to control those who would oppress. Catchy sound bites and phrases are often used. Discussing and challenging the use of one of these phrases is the goal of this post. In weaponizing the sound bite "Race Baiting," has the oppressor successfully manipulated the minds of those who would oppress and those who are oppressed? 

The Muted on Racism - Know Your Place and Be Silent

I invented race and racism.  I will tell you when there is racism. 

Other wise be silent, stay down and know your place.

One act of empowerment of the Civil Rights Movement was to speak what we had kept silent for centuries.  Brother Malcolm was the most empowering leader on “telling White people what you feel.”  We empowered ourselves to tell our true history.  We empowered ourselves to speak out against our oppressors.  Beginning in the mid 1970’s and ever increasing in the 1980’s, the 1990’s and into the new millennium, our voice on the oppression of racism has been muted.  This orchestration to return us to silence, mute our voices, and destroy our freedom of speech on our racist oppression began with Nixon Presidency.  He adopted and ran the same Presidential campaign as George Wallace.  Hence he was elected to give back the role of superiority to White Americans.  We have been silenced in some form since our arrival in this country.  

COINTELPRO Accusations of Terrorism Against Sister Assata Shakur

There are many writings on websites and blogs in support of Sister Assata Shakur. I thought it ample coverage but, then thought how could I on this Mother’s Day celebration, celebrate the motherhood of my Black sisters without addressing this affront against Black women all over the world.

Accusations of terrorism are the new COINTELPRO.  This accusation was sanctioned by America's First African American President and his African American Attorney General. This is an affront to Black women all over the world, including America’s First Lady. Accusations of terrorism are being used to stifle dissent as our government and its military complex has brought the wars home to roost against the American people.
