Nas and every hip-hop artist needs to read this article. The more Hip-hop artist and black people use the word Nigger, the more we will see cases like this dismissed.
Hate-crime charges dropped in beating case
I am tired of the ignorance that plagues our community. Those who feel that they change the word nigger into a term of endearment or take the sting out of the word are not only ignorant, but they have been culturally conditioned to undervalue and marginalize the struggles of our ancestors.
Do you hear any other ethnic group trying to take the sting out of words or terms that are racially offensive to their culture? Do Jewish people walk around calling themselves kikes? Do Hispanics walk around calling themselves wetbacks? So why is it that some black people feel that this is acceptable for us?
We need to wake up and look at ourselves in the mirror. This case is a perfect example of what happens when we loose our self respect. You have a kid who says a racist phrase to a black student (”Nigga get off the boat, nigga” ) and hate crime charges are dropped because the defendant claims that it was said more as a hip-hop cultural slang than racial insult. Look at what we are doing to ourselves? We are disrespecting our culture by aiding and abedding in our own demise. I am sick of it, and it must stop!!!!

NATIVE SON 
Preach Brother! Preach!
Like I said in my blog on this article, the insidious part of this whole thing was the reaction Stephen Barrett (the victim) had to the racist assault he received by his attacker. He didn’t think it was racism because the “er” in the “N-word” had been replaced with an “a”. The effect of the psychological violence being perpetrated by our people using this term to address each other, and our artist describing us is coming to bear fruit. Negative fruit in the form of our youth being unaware of the evil of racism. Even now it’s being reported that Nas has, I repeated HAS decided to produce a CD under the title “Nigga”, with the ok of L.A. Reid his producer. Talk about aiding and abedding our demise. It doesn’t get any more blatant than that!
THE RISE OF THE BLACK MATRIX
In 1968, after the death of Dr. Martin Luther king Jr., there was much unrest, discord and wide-spread violence that which increasingly placed the peace and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy. This resulted in the decline of national stability and loss of lives and property that cost the nation and taxpayers millions of dollars. These factors, combined with the rapidly tarnishing American global image, led to the then president, Lyndon B Johnson, ordering that a commission be formed, later known as the Kerner Commission, to investigate and prescribe a cure or recommendations for the problem.
The Kerner Commission concluded that blatant White racism was the single aggravating factor for the collective problems. This finding required that the U.S. Government abandon its usage of blatant forms of racism used to control and maintain its White dominance. This abandoning of dated tactics led to the need for developing an improved method of controlling and suppressing its Black population.
The U.S. Government’s agents of White supremacy quickly reformed their techniques of institutionalized racism. Changing times made it necessary for the U.S. government to change its methods to a much more subtle and socially acceptable means of continuing its racial suppression of Blacks and to maintain its White dominance. Because the blatant methods, of assuring that its White dominance be maintained, used and condoned in the past are no longer morally and socially acceptable, the U.S. Government secretly implemented a far more sophisticated method of maintaining its white dominance.
The United States government secretly implemented its largest ever covert assault operation against its Black population through its educational, judicial, and prison systems and, most detrimentally through a campaign of psychological warfare that uses mis-information, false statistics, and negative propaganda media reports. The unrelenting daily assaults on the Black psyche corrupts African Americans sense of reason and unity thus creating the culture of failure and disparity that now afflicts modern Black America.
Today’s modern method of white racism in the United States is now secretly applied through the government’s proven method of Covert Counterintelligence Program [COINTELPRO: A misnomer for Domestic Covert Actions.] A system of white governmental racism that is implemented through the American educational, judicial and prison systems– that prevails and is concealed through the usage of Psychological Warfare implemented through the national media that fosters a consensual environment for its suppression of its black population. It is a sophisticated system of white racism that deliberately wears only the appearance, if any, of being totally self afflicted by African Americans themselves. In doing so, the United States Government have acquired a far more insidious and covert method of ensuring that its white dominance is maintained that exists behind a clever shroud of secrecy and deceit for it is in this way that the evils of racism thrive best — when its victims do not recognize the evil.
This modern system of institutionalized racism is so in fact so sophisticated , that one may compare Americas old system of white racism- used against African Americans in the past– to that of this modern type by saying that the previous system had a GED while todays methods has a PHD. For todays system is for more sophisticated, elaborated and proficient then any system of racism previously faced by African Americans-even slavery.
While although this modern method of governmental white racism covertly uses the American educational system to mortifyingly mis-educate and disesteem black students and the judicial and prison systems to severely reduce black growth and upward mobility by reducing black Americas ability to procreate and to vote thus to maintain its white dominance. However the most significant and detrimental aspect of this modern system of white governmental racism used today in America is its aspect of using psychological warfare against African Americans.
Today as a mean of ensuring that its objective of maintaining white dominance the United States Government has modified its methods of exploiting and suppressing its Black population into a form more socially acceptable in contemporary times that uses mis-education, false statistics and negative propaganda media reports that equates a psychological warfare that conspires to corrupt blacks of unity, reason, and common sense, thus deliberately soliciting the disparity that has now become modern Black America. Moreover it is the core factor of the unprecedented amount of disparities afflicting Black America today .
Governmental Psychological warfare is the art of directing masses and individual towards governmental objectives by means of cleverly manipulating theory and misinformation. Here is a simplified analogy of the psychological aspect of this modern system of racism that is now being implemented against America’s Black population: Let us say, for example, that a group of people was aboard their own massive ship and that their ship was being shadowed by another neighboring ship, a neighboring ship that was constantly broadcasting derogatory messages to the first group that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy or perhaps slowly sinking or that their crew was incompetent or was planning a mutiny. With time, the group receiving the negative messages, being unable to refute or to confirm these derogatory messages and deficiencies will grow weary and paranoid of the negative messages and will eventually comes to accept these negative assessments of themselves.
The perception created by the taunting now unconsciously influences how the taunted group perceives themselves, subsequently causing them to become distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and, eventually, fighting among themselves. The taunted group may even become so besieged by deep feelings of inadequacy that they may even jump into the sea and attempt to swim towards the taunting ship now believing it to be superior to their own boat even if their own ship was in fact better.
This science of psychology works by affecting the unconscious mind through deception. Its weapon is not the way it is sent, but the messages that it carries and how the messages affect the recipient and influence society. Within a real world setting, this is implemented against African Americans through U.S. governmental agencies that leak false derogatory and negative stories through press releases in magazine articles, radio, television documentaries concerning its Black population to its collaborators in the news media, which either knowingly or unknowingly carry the false information as their own. This method of warfare adversely effects the recipients in terms of their behavior. These false information are designed to demoralize, discourage, berate, subjugate, and or dismantle the Black population. It also perpetuate and frame the myth of Whites racial, moral, and ethical superiority over its Black population.
This method of pschological warefare not only adversely affects black self perception, unity and ultimately upward mobility, but also produces a shift in victmization the creates a consensual environment of in which blacks sre systematically suppressed through its judicial and prison systems. Its campaign of false derogatory stories about its black population produces a perversion of reality that insinuates that America would be a better society as a whole if African Americans were gone, thus psychologically changing the root problem of racism in America to be due to Black’s behavior rather than Whites proclivity for racism.
This shift of victimization that the problem of racism in America is due to the fault of African Americans engenders distorted perceptions and increasingly prejudiced and acrimonious beliefs about its African American population that creates a consensual environment that facilitates the easier exploitation and suppression of Black America. [For when contempt of Blacks appears to be justifiable, it is the fiercest and most effective type of racism because its witnesses, bystanders, and jurors will sit by idly allowing African Americans to be brutally mistreated under the belief that it is justified.]
Accordingly, many African Americans may ask the question of why would the United States Government implement such a racist scheme? The answer is because although the United States Government portrays itself as the leading ethical and moral authority of the world and professes equal rights for all American citizens, its oldest and most important objective has always been an unyielding commitment towards the preservation of its White dominance. That objective has always directly correlated with the necessity to suppress the advancement and growth of its Black population, because if the U.S. government treated its Black population in a manner which does not promote its interest of maintaining White dominance and control, it would render the U.S. Government diametrically in opposition to itself. Therefore, it secretly uses every conceivable means and opportunity to suppress its Black population, even those that trample upon its own stated ethical values.
Although this may sound a bit like bad science fiction, Psychological Warfare is a real and well-proven technology that exceeds the territorial limits of conventional warfare to penetrate the proposed target. This type of psychological warfare has been used by the military since World War II. A popular motto used then among the users of these covert operations was “Capture their minds, and their hearts and souls will follow.” Used in all aspects of war, the effectiveness of psychological warfare is limited only by the ingenuity of the commanders using it. Although the usage of psychological warfare began within a military setting, it was eventually realized by governmental and societal elites that this method of psychological warfare could be useful for totally controlling society, therefore, psychological warfare technology evolved from its military usage against foreign enemies to being used to control society domestically.
Today, the U.S. government, like many other developed nations, conducts planned campaigns of extensive strategic psychological operations through the national media to influence the perception and climate of the nation towards the attainment of its governmental objectives. The ability to influence the nation in mass using psychological operations through the national media is highly effective because the media itself is very powerful in terms of its influence. The media helps shape our views of the world, what we consider to be good or bad, and also forges our deepest values, identities, and our sense of what it means, for example, to be male or female. These facts, combined with those studies showing that the average American watches 18 hundred hours of television each year, affirm that there is a great inclination for Americans to be affected by psychological operations conducted through the national media.
Unlike the blatantly brutal forms of racism used in the past where in which Blacks were able to identify easily and therefore unify and form counter strategies, this modern method of racism works from a psychological perspective. This method now provides the U.S. government wth a more socially acceptable method of continuing the White racial hierarchy for dominance and control given that it is not as easily recognized. This new method exists in the space between overt racism and racial respect. Its methods include the ability to both influence the national climate and engender personal psychological feelings among Americans that meet the U.S government objective.
This concept of the U.S government using psychology as a weapon to influence and control its Black population is not at all ridiculous. For more than a century ago, Charles Darwin predicted in his book “The Origin of Species” (1859) that “the evolutionary theory would one day provide a new foundation for the science of psychology.” The truth in his words has been borne out. The change came when modern advances in our understanding of the genetics of social behavior ushered in Sociobiology; a controversial new science of the biological study of social behavior of humans.
Since the 1950’s, U.S. experimental psychologists and Cognitive scientists have developed ideas about the unconscious mental process that proposes that most of our mental processes happen outside of our awareness suggesting that the ability to control the behavior of people around us subconsciously is now a distinct possibility.
Moreover, over the past five decades, human sociobiology has transformed into an evolutionary psychology that has gained science the means and ability to control and, therefore, predict the actions and feelings of individuals or groups merely by the messages conveyed against them. According to this controversial use of psychology, the human mind is the most extraordinary part of the human body, and there seems to be little doubt, wrote biologist David Barash, “that the unconscious is real and that in certain obscure ways the forces of culture are all-powerful in shaping human behavior. Advances in these studies resulted in governments using psychology as a weapon for maintaining White dominance.
While this may still sound incredibly ridiculous or unbelievable for many, psychological warfare is a real method of warfare that is commonly used by the U.S. Government. It was even used during the Iraq war. The United States Military dropped propaganda leaflets on Iraq, planted favorable stories about the new Iraq in the Baghdad press, radio, and television media and also rewrote the Iraq schools curriculum, thus reflecting a more favorable light in its depiction of westerners/Whites. The U.S. Goverment’s usage of psychological warfare has been ongoing throughout the entire combat operation in Iraq from the initial battle thru the so-called rebuilding of Iraq.
Moreover, the U.S. Government’s methods of now providing the Iraqi students a curriculum that favors Europeans and there usage of the Iraqi national media to perpetuate propaganda and misinformation to facilitate their easier exploitation and suppression, are remarkably consistent with the current conditions experienced by African Americans. As for those who still doubt that such a conspiratorial dimension of racism exists at the governmental level in the United States, I strongly recommend that they read the National Security Council Memorandum– 46, and also Kenneth O’Reilley’s Racial Matters: The FBI’s Secret File on Black America, 1960-1972.
The objective of the United States government has always been to maintain its White dominance over its Black population, and clearly, psychological warfare meets this need because it covertly creates a national climate that allows the government to suppress consensually the advancement of its African American population and to maintain its White dominance and national stability. Furthermore, history overwhelmingly demonstrates that the White races innate proclivity for racism, control, and dominance is much too deeply engrained for them to just merely give up their practices of implementing suppressive methods over its African American population.
The records of history show that the reincarnation of suppressive methods into forms more acceptable to the changing times is a common practice of the United States government as seen after the abolishment of slavery wherein its methods of using racist, oppressive treatment of its Black population was reincarnated into Jim Crow laws. And, also, let us not forget the many sorts of devious strategies and methods used to prevent Blacks from becoming registered voters. The historic and demonstrative evidence overwhelmingly reflects the reality that the U.S. government does manifest a proclivity for reinventing devious methods to suppress its Black population. This proclivity has led to the U.S. Government now using its proven method of psychological operations to control the advancement and growth of its Black population. It was the next logical choice for it provides the Government the benefit of the appearance of conducting humanitarian efforts to help its Black community while covertly seeking only to maintain its White dominance. Those who forget history are destined to have history’s crimes repeated against them.
THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE AGAINST AFRICAN AMERICANS
The objective of this psychological warfare against African Americans is to create a shift in victimization in behalf of whites that lessens pressure for social change on behalf of Blacks thus making the nation and the entire world insensitive to the plight of African Americans, thus successfully striping them of the national and international support that was acquired during the 1960’s civil rights struggles. This is done by an immense campaign of false statistics and media reports degrading its back population and disproportionately portraying Black men as the face of crime and Black women as the face of welfare. These portrayals of African Americans are totally false and inaccurate but are necessary to make it appear that Black behavior is the reason for White racism in the U.S. Moreover, this method also makes any serious criticism of White racism almost impossible today. Not only does it tranquilize efforts on behalf of Blacks, it also affects attitudes that, when enacted through governmental policies, laws, and other legislation actions, serve to ensure that African Americans will not advance. Its effects are manifested in ideas, education, governmental policies, economic stratification, social segregation, housing markets, hiring and promotion practices, psychological issues, and minority access to a variety of social services and opportunity. It also creates a false justification for the legal systems mistreatment of African Americans wherein they are disproportionately incarcerated, given stiffer sentences, and are more likely than other racial groups to be treated brutally, beaten, and fired upon by police officers while they are unarmed. Moreover, some studies have shown that this shift of victimization now reflects increasingly acrimonious beliefs and prejudiced perceptions about and against African Americans that are arguably stronger today than they were after emancipation.
The United States Governments psychological operation of devaluing African Americans is not always recognized. In fact, in most cases, it is executed very subtly and is often done under the pretext of helping African Americans, while in fact actually exploiting them. One such an example was seen in August 1996, when then, President William (Bill) Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, better known as the Welfare Reform Bill. During the ceremonial undertaking, which was broadcast on television to the entire nation and the world, the president was strategically accompanied by two African American welfare moms who were positioned on either side of him as he signed the new bill perpetuating false images of African American women without using overt racism thus feeding and perpetuating the racist stereotype that the largest recipients of welfare are lazy Black mothers. This image was filmed, photographed, and transmitted all over the world. These types of actions by the White House feed the governments objective of changing the face of racism in America to reflect that the racial problem in America stems from behavior among African Americans which justifies White attitudes towards Blacks while producing psychological feelings of embarrassment, gratitude, and indebtedness among Blacks towards the American government. The fact, however, is that the majority of welfare mothers are White women, and regardless of the many false images of social programs of welfare and food stamps for the benefit of African Americans perpetuated through the media, the largest recipient of these benefits cannot and will never be African American women. For let us remember that, according to U.S. government statistics, Black women make up only 6 % of the nations total population. Therefore, even if a ridiculously high number like half of all Black women were welfare recipients that still would equate to only 3 % of the population. Clearly, the negative, fraudulent portrayal of Black women as being the majority of welfare moms is a prime example of psychological warfare.
Perhaps no president relied more heavily on the use of the psychological operation that portrayed African American Women as negative welfare queens than Ronald Reagan (Green and McCall, 1987). Reagan’s career as an actor and spokesperson for General Electric provided him with an audience to redefine his storytelling style and to perfect the ability of appealing to the concerns and fears of White voters without the use of overtly racist appeals. Reagan’s campaigns revolved around themes that exemplified the image of the Black welfare queen. Such was seen when he challenged Gerald Ford for the Republican Party nomination for president. Reagan gave an elaborate story of welfare abuse that appeared in the New York Times, February 15, 1976, p1 which stated the following: “There’s a woman in Chicago. She has 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 social security cards, and is collecting veteran benefits on 4 non-existing deceased husbands. And she is collecting social Security on her cards. She’s got Medicaid, is getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each name. Her tax-free income is over $150,000″. The speech emphasized how “they, the abusers, enjoy lives of leisure, whereas “we” [Whites] work harder than ever before with little chance of ever getting ahead. The welfare queen abuse story played, and continues to play, well among the White masses, and its reference to the abuser leaves little doubt about the implied racial identity of the abuser without stating the racial identity of the abuser explicitly. The story then acquires a life of its own, far more elaborate and lucrative than before. At times, she has more kids and fewer husbands. Nevertheless, it worked because it delivered messages penetrating the consciousness of White voters across party lines. After Regan defeated Carter in the 1980 election, the welfare stories made it possible for him to reduce social programs.
While portraying most welfare moms in America as being Black women, the governments psychological operation also disproportionately perpetuates the image Black men as the literal face of crime in America. Although commonly presumed accurate and accepted, this representation is totally inaccurate for it presents a problem of semantics; the numbers just does not properly add up. For according the U.S. government, African Americans make up just above 12% percent of the total American population. From this number, let us attempt to quantify these African Americans that make up most of Americas criminals. Let’s begin by subtracting from this 12% percent the amount of 6% represented by Black women. This leaves just 6% percent of the total American population as being African American males. Let us now assume a ridiculously high number such as half of all Black men in America as criminals. This total number of African American male criminals would still only comprise just 3% percent of the total national population. Moreover, we did not even bother to subtract from that original 6% those African American males that (disproportionately) make up almost 35% of the United States military.
The point being made here is that it is, in fact, literally impossible for Americas Black population to equate to what is negatively portrayed in the national media. The absolute number of African Americans is simply too small to equate the statistics and perpetuated images that suggest that Blacks are the face of crime in America. For even if at disproportionately high levels of crime within their own Black communities, the total number of African Americans males is too small to even remotely resemble what the media perpetuates. This is not the result that one would expect from watching the evening news or an episode of the television show “Cops”. While some African Americans today live in conditions that have them resorting to crime, never before in the history of America has the actual number of criminal activities of any given year been higher among African Americans than Whites. The media perpetuation of Black males as the majority of criminals in America is clearly psychological operation at work. Moreover, research has disclosed that most serious crimes such as homicide, rape, and robbery and assault in inner cities are committed by a very small proportion of African Americans youths; some estimate a high of only 7% percent.
These noted statistics are completely contrary of what is perpetuated by the racist media. Moreover, because the face of crime is now perpetuated as being Black, any effort by a politician or public figure to address the disproportionate number of African Americans incarcerated or given harsher sentences may now be construed as being soft on crime. Therefore, many Black politicians avoid this topic for fear of appearing soft on crime, which is political suicide.
A more recent example of the United States deliberate devaluing of African Americans through the usage of psychological operations was seen during the 2005 flooding of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. While many African American victims that where left behind suffered from hunger, dehydration, and the trauma of having loved ones dying all around them, the White media was more adept at portraying these Black victims as wild, inhuman, deviant criminals. The press presented, for the most part, those images of the desperate and suffering Black families that reinforced their negative and racist stereotypes. As seen, for example, in the desperation of many Black people who took water and food from the vacant stores — actions deemed a necessity given the circumstances. However, the media painted the perception that most of these Black people were uncontrollable looters stealing equipment and appliances [although their homes were under water and there was no power within the city so, therefore, there existed no place to plug in electrical equipment or appliances]. Nevertheless, the images of Black people taking food and water were perpetuated as looting as shown in the constant repetition of the same 5-minute looping footage of so-called looters. On the other hand, Whites doing the same thing were portrayed in television coverage as shopping for food. If the looting by Blacks was as rampant as reported, why then was there the need to keep repeating the same 5-minute footage again and again?
Then, there were the many unfounded rumors broadcast, not only nationally but also globally; that hospitals had been raided by drug addicts; and that there where many gang rapes of women and children in the New Orleans Convention Center; also that babies throats had been cut; and that Black thugs were shooting at rescuers. Although these rumors were later found to be untrue, the damage was already done against African Americans. Then their were the many insensitive racist remarks made by White officials and politicians, where one White official stated that “we couldn’t get them out of the projects, however God did”; another stated; “why are they complaining about the overcrowded conditions in the Superdome when they are accustomed to living [in the substandard conditions] in the ghetto”. At a time when African Americans so desperately needed help, the U.S government seized the opportunity to further dehumanize and perpetuate derogatory propaganda about them.
What is more, African Americans are denigrated within every aspect of American society by the U.S. governments psychological operation — from abortion rates, educational failures, crime statistics, and also their national health statistic reports. Where, based upon the U.S. Governments national health statistics and reports concerning the health of Black America, it appears as if the bodies of Black people are literally genetically and physically inferior to that of the bodies of Whites. These actions by the U.S. government are clearly a case psychological warfare at work for the mounting evidence is too great to be purely coincidental for us not to connect the dots — it is in fact an exact match.
This tendency to routinely subjugate African Americans within the American society is clearly a case of psychological warfare at work for it is too prevalent to be merely dismissed as an oversight or as being the work of a few local governments. It is being deliberately implemented at a national level. This modern racism, as herein defined, has had a serious deleterious effect on the black community as a whole. Because people are all products of cultural conditions and their worldviews operate outside of their level of consciousness. Therefore, no group can be preconditioned to see only the worst in themselves and not exhibit some degree of negative psychological impact. The worst aspect of this psychological operation against Americas Black population is, not how it adversely affects race relations, but instead how it causes many African Americans to perceive themselves. It is like the earlier analogy of a group of people aboard their ship constantly receiving derogatory messages that their ship was lesser, smaller, not seaworthy or perhaps slowly sinking, subsequently coming to accept these negative messages and thus becoming distrustful of themselves, doubting themselves, hating themselves and therefore, fighting among themselves.
Through this U.S. Governments method of psychological warfare that routinely subjects African Americans daily to seeing — through a controlled national media — only the worst in themselves and that insinuate that they should admire, respect, and trust only Whites divides and demobilizes African Americans by engendering self-doubt, self-loathing, and distrust among their group. Moreover, this campaign of negative messages is detrimental to the mental health of African Americans and collectively exert an inhibiting effect on the extent to which many African Americans can realize their full human potential.
The immediate and social conditions of African Americans will not change as long as our conditions are being covertly manipulated and encouraged by the White societal elites. For as long as Whites are keeping the scores, it will always appear to be that Blacks are on the losing team, in the sinking ship. As long as the White government is assessing the strengths, weaknesses, and crime and health statistics of its Black population, they will always use psychological operation to influence and encourage White dominance and Black suppression. A new reality for African Americans will only be built by a Black society that dares to assess its own weaknesses and strengths and that takes control of the education of their own children. It is believed to be the most aggravating, if not core, factor of the national phenomenon of self hatred; loss of educational aspirations; loss of unity, cohesion and racial pride; and fragile psyches of many African Americans today. Moreover, internalized racism, demoralization, anxiety, and anger over everyday discrimination are to be expected at the levels of the day-to-day mortification and exploitation experienced by African Americans in the United States. Moreover, all African Americans have experienced the burden of this psychological warfare, some more severely than others. It is experienced every time we [Blacks] read a newspaper, watch the evening news, enter a classroom, and read its racially biased textbooks. And while many Black Americans have successfully navigated through the mortifying system of educational inequality and have gone on to graduate and lead successful, productive lives, for far too many African Americans this immense devaluation can seem inescapable and tragically, over time, many begin to accept subconsciously and painfully the negative portrayals of themselves. Many also become discouraged by the acceptance that their society is also preconditioned to see the worst in them and that, therefore, if they were ever to gain acceptance, if it is to be won at all, that success would be hard won and likely to manifest negative internalized psychological pain and distress within many African Americans that can take many forms. Under such extreme degradation as experienced by African Americans, many develop the psychological aberration of control in which we become literally prejudiced against other Blacks; that is, some of us actually acquire the character of the White oppressors, which, ironically, is not uncommon.
PROFITABLE INDUSTRY OF RACISM
The propaganda of negative misrepresentations of African Americans males as the being the prominent face of crime creates a justification for America’s disproportionate mistreatment of African American males within the U.S. judicial system. The secret infrastructure of the American judicial legal system is one where African Americans are being systematically, disproportionately incarcerated and the propaganda of psychological warfare is then used to justify their state. This propaganda creates a false justification for the disproportionately high number of African American males incarcerated and the longer sentences they receive. These inequalities within the legal system arebeneficial to the government in that it stimulates and maintains the stability of the economy in terms of building more prisons and providing more jobs. The prison industry in the United States is big business that uses a modern form of inhumane exploitation of African Americans. The U.S. has locked up more people than any other country: a half a million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the U.S. The U.S. holds 25% of the worlds prison population, but only 5% of the worlds people. (CNN, ABC News) The number of inmates includes a disproportionately high percentage of African Americans. The prison industry in the U.S. grew from a population less than 300,000 in 1972 to 2 million in 2000. A significant factor in this growth is privatization of prisons. Private prisons are the biggest business in the prison industry complex. They receive a guaranteed amount of money for each prisoner, independent of what it costs to maintain each one. The secret to low operating cost is having a minimal number of guards for the maximum number of prisoners. Ten years ago, there were only five private prisons in the U.S. There are now more than 100. The private contracting of prisoners for work fosters incentives to incarcerate more African Americans. Prison depends on this income. At least 37 states have legalized the contracting of prison labor by private corporations. Corporate stockholders who profit from prison workers lobby for longer sentences in order to expand their work force and profits; the system feeds itself / the prison industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., and its investors are on Wall Street. The list includes such companies as IBM, Boeing, Motorola, Microsoft, AT&T, Texas Instrument, Dell, Compaq, Honeywell, Hewlett- Packard, Nortel, Lucent Technologies, Revlon, Macy, Target Stores,Pierre Cardin, and many more. The prison privatization boom began in the 1980s under the Ronald Reagan but reached its height in the 1990s under William Clinton when Wall Street stocks did extremely well. Clintons program for cutting the federal workforce resulted in the Justice Department contracting with private prison corporations. In her book, Unequal Justice: A Question of Color; Professor Coramae Richey Mann, an African American professor in criminal justice, writes that the criminal justice systems goal is to warehouse Blacks and other minorities in prisons and to expand the criminal justice enterprise so as to provide jobs for the majority groups in the law industry (law enforcement officers, probation officers, and lawyers). The implementation of the “three strikes law” and enhanced sentences for felons found with crack cocaine, rather than its more potent powder form found more often among Whites, are deliberately designed to assure that White dominance is maintained because they are directly aimed at imprisoning Black males thus keeping them from being productive members of the Black community. The high number of Black men incarcerated also directly slows down the Black pregnancy growth rate and this also strips African Americans of political power through the loss of voting rights among our Black felons. The many governmental program implemented for the benefit of African Americans are often done in a manner that fosters humiliation and the sense of obligation among African American toward its government. The fact, however, remains that African Americans, although making up just 12 percent of the national population, contributes billions of dollars each year to the Gross Domestic Product. The profits earned by the U.S. government from its covert exploitation of its Black population far exceed any amount of funds actually spent by the government on social programs benefiting African Americans.
Sadly there are many African Americans that may still find this monumental disclosure to be ridiculous. However, it would, in fact, be more ridiculous and, indeed, absurd or a case of collective amnesia to believe that a racial group such as Whites [the most arrogant and rapacious group; possessing an unprecedented history and proclivity for brutal racism; they, who are the most indomitable in history; of which all other races have been either their enemies or victims; they, who alone have taken possession of the physical and moral world and have planned and waged aggressive, unjustifiable wars and have committed crimes against humanity such as genocide and slavery] would just simply give up their innate racist proclivity for dominance so easily. Moreover, exposing the Black Matrix is not at all about inflaming racial hatred and anti White-ism. It is about informing our communities about what is being deliberately done to them as a matter of national interest so that they may stop accepting these hardships and, instead, confront them. For there is neither a struggle nor fight more pressing for African Americans today than the eradication of this real-life Black Matrix that is used to suppress us, confuse us, and turn us against each other. [Note:The Black churches and civil rights organizations cannot address this fact because the United States Government would strip them of their annual budget funding and 501C-3 nonprofit tax exept status-so therefore they all merely turn a blind eye essentially selling out the massess of our people.]
it’s paranoid fools like you that keep our community down we need to drop this woe is me cop-out and step up i never had nothing for a long time cause i was a angry ignorant fool like you i walked around with a chip on my shoulders for years not cause white men oppressed me because my african blood it’s cause African racist in my own community made me think like you think that white people are out to get me but thats false they are out to survive just like us they always avoided me because i treated them disrespectful cause i thought they where evil like i was taught but once i found god and humbled myself i treated them how i wanted to be treated with respect and they have done the same no normal person wants to be around people who disrespect’s them would you want to hang out at a clan rally where no one likes you ofcourse not and that’s the point doctor King tryed to make when he said love the white man he was warning us against becoming like those who oppressed us ignorant and isolated in our own bigotry we aren’t oppressed buy white man were oppressed by our inability to stop blaming our problems on others and take decisive action to take our community back from these militant thugs and drugdeals that are mostly africans and our true oppressers. Dr.king would roll in his grave if he seen the way we allow our kids to act we need to solve our own problems and let other race’s worry about solving their’s. cause it’s not there responsibility to shape our culture it’s our’s and if we lets this evil hip hop thug gangbanger sub culture to go on it’s nobody’s falt but our own if we can’t better ourselves.
First of all, blacks need to stop playing the victim role and start playing the victor role. Blacks own businesses, and have jobs that enable them to enjoy the same luxuries as any other culture, nationality in this country. It’s those who continue to play the race card at the drop of a hat, or complain of racism every time something goes wrong in their lives. If you can’t get a job, maybe it’s actually because you’re not qualified or you didn’t show promise to be hired at the interview, not because you’re black. As far as racist, it takes one to know one doesn’t it? Blacks want the fame, glory, money, etc, but don’t want the responsibilities. When things are great in black communities, it’s due to black power, when things are going badly, it’s the white man’s fault from slavery to Lindon B Johnson. Get real. Look at what’s happening now!!! Downtown Atlanta has become a hotbed of BLACK crime on other blacks and everyone else. Georgia Tech is being terrorized almost weekly, ghetto black culture has turned Wisconsin into a mecca of “hood” lifestyle. This isn’t racist, it’s factual. Get over it. I’m sick of seeing pants hanging off asses, speech that sounds like one has never gone to school. Let’s talk about the word Nigger. So degrading so insulting. But noooo, it’s ok if you use ah not er. Come on, most blacks don’t use er on hardly any er/ar words. Dollar is pronounced dollah, holler is hollah, sister is sistah, player is playah. So on and so forth. Nigger, niggah, it’s doesn’t matter. Show some respect for your own people. If a black kid speaks clearly and eloquently, he/she is sometimes accused of trying to be white. If they read a lot, they’re trying to be white. If he/she dresses in other than urban wear, they’re trying to be white. That is so damn stupid of blacks to say that to another. What those blacks are actually saying is that we as blacks are supposed to be dumb and not read or talk intelligently, we are not supposed to dress conservatively or appropriately. Wake up black people get your head out your asses.
