THOUGHTS ABOUT REPARATIONS FOR DESCENDANTS OF AMERICAN SLAVES – for Government sanctioned slaughter of African Americans If you are an American and consider yourself a descendent of slaves you are eligible to be part of a group being formed to submit a formal petition to the Government for reparations. “BREAKING BROWN “ is the name of the group – see You Tube – and its leader is Yvette Carnell. Subscription is Free. The groups’ primary goal is to secure reparations for American Descendants of Slaves, DOS. As a member of “Breaking Brown” you would be adding your voice to a petition demonstrating the love respect and duty to our ancestors, and to the present and future descendants of slaves. Reparation IS NOT a gift; it is not SOMETHING for Nothing. It is just payment for the harm done to us as a people.

THOUGHTS ABOUT CONCENTRATING AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICAL POWER

THOUGHTS ABOUT CONCENTRATING AFRICAN AMERICAN POLITICAL POWER – scattered parts weaken the whole, PLEASE SHARE The complexity and pace of life here in America, moreover the world, has increased the necessity for black Americans to concentrate their effort to increase political sophistication and power. Working only to survive individually or as a unique group is no longer beneficial for all African Americans. The reason is that competition is intense for federal dollars and policies among racial groups and the political sophistication and number of groups is increasing. Vital resources – jobs, education, reparations, income, affirmative action, healthcare etc., that flow from our federal and state governments through taxes is finite and will go to those persuasive groups who are organize with a single political voice. African Americans do not have a single political voice; we are a scattered people – we are creative, intelligent but scattered. Religious, political, and secular groups typically define themselves by exclusion. Those inside the group see themselves as correct in their point of view and those outside as incorrect and failing, lost, condemned. Group insiders tend to be obligated to take the opposite view to that of outsiders. Some insiders view outsiders as an enemy to be destroyed. African American groups and individuals must develop common political objectives irrespective of group identity and goals. This will take creating alliances across group and individual lines. We don’t have to love or agree with one another to aide in the propagation of a common political objective: it doesn’t take creating or joining a group to be in political solidarity. The question that should be asked and answered is WHAT IS THE POLITICAL OBJECTIVES VITAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELBEING OF AFRICAN AMERICANS now and in the future. Turn the answers to this question into a political mantra to be propagated by the mouth and pen of every group and individual. Direct the mantra to all branches of government, private and public organizations, including the media. A group or individual can kill the influence and impact of the mantra if it is conditioned upon the accepting of a politically conflicting group or individual goal. Individuals attempting to acquire a more effective political voice may find benefit in subscribing to a group whose primary goal is to develop a political agenda that best serves African Americans – Descendants of Slaves, DOS. I have subscribed to the organization BREAKING BROWN, Yvette Carnell, You Tube, as a vehicle for developing and amplifying my political voice. PLEASE SHARE THIS and OFTEN adolphusward.net

THOUGHTS ABOUT LATEST SUPREME COURT CHANGE

THOUGHTS ABOUT LATEST SUPREME COURT CHANGE – even more of the same The latest change in the court’s makeup will further divide the country in gender, race, and wealth. The principle driver for these changes is and has always been rich powerful white men. Most people who devote time to thinking rather than relying on the benevolence of a God and men who present themselves as caring individuals are aware of this fact. Thinking citizens were not fooled by the thousands of women demonstrating that the will of the rich and powerful white men would yield and take a more favorable course. Thinking black women should be aware that their pain and that of all African Americans will be more intense and lasting than that experienced by Caucasian Americans. This is true for all blacks across all indicators of growth: jobs, education, income, and physical/ psychological health. African Americans, more now than ever before must look away from what separates us toward those things vital to our earthbound wellbeing. Prayer will only have some benefit when it is followed by a physical person planning, gathering necessary resources, employing those resources, and evaluating the outcome. Blacks should make alliances with whites only when it benefits black people, no exception. I picked up a spin from a black community leader, Yvette Parnell –BREAKING BROWN on You Tube, to an old notion of mine. I have often said that to identify ourselves as African is inappropriate; African American is a little clumsy to me but comes closer to a usable identity. Yvette added something to African American that defines us more clearly. We, blacks are descendants of slaves and slave owners; we are DOS – DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES. Some of us wish to take slavery out of the equation of our lives – we get real silly trying to define ourselves as persons and cultures viewed by many as contributing most to the growth of mankind. Blacks occupy pages in those contributions but we didn’t write the whole book. It is absolutely correct to think that African American ancestry reaches into antiquity – a time when life was coming into the knowledge of itself. adolphusward.net
