The Revolution Will Be Criminalized…Unless You’re White

We can start by admitting that capitalism has failed. We can begin to learn and tell the truth about what the oligarchs/plutocrats are doing and have done to this nation since inception, we can explain thoroughly what happened during the depressions in this nation.
Depressions
1807-1814
1837-1844
1873-1879
1893-1898
1929-1941

And
Recessions
1945 Recession
1949 Recession
Recession of 1953
Recession of 1957
1960 Recession
1973-1975 Recession
1980-1982 Recession
1990-1991 Recession
2001 Recession
2008-2009 Recession

During each of these events the multitudes suffered while the few made out like bandits. We never hear about where the money went, or why the money is being lost, not really. We need to start asking questions. Why is it that every time we go to war we have billions, no trillions of dollars to spend, but when it comes to educating our people, or doing things to improve our nation, we don’t have money for that…money for destruction, nothing for construction. That in itself let’s you know that capitalism is a failure for the majority of people in this nation, but instead of getting together as one people and fighting back against those that have taken control of our nation, we play the political game, the race game, the gender game, and any other game that will keep us from facing the truth about this nation. What are the solutions…there is but one EDUCATION…and that only if we are willing to face and tell the truth, that only if we are willing to face the past and stop saying oh that was in the past I want to look forward. Forward? If we don’t face our past, we have no future. A house stands on its foundation. A bad foundation indicates a bad structure meaning the home is not worth the trouble. Same thing with a nation or anything else. If the foundation isn’t fixed, the house will stand for a time but eventually will crumble. It is time for the people of this nation to face the past and fix the foundation or forget about this nation ever being what we were taught it was.

It is that and more KT. This goes back a long way. Minority communities have reason to dislike the presence of the police in their communities when they act as though they are lord and master of the people rather than servants of the people. African Americans have a long history of abuse from the police and the white majority in this nation, so IMHO, their distrust is more than appropriate. Whites in this nation, including police officers who know their history realize intellectually or maybe even instinctively the fact that they are and have been guilty of abuse when it comes to these minority communities. Let’s Take for an example this:

Black Wall Street, the name fittingly given to one of the most affluent all-Black communities in America, was bombed from the air and burned to the ground by mobs of envious Whites. In a period spanning fewer than 12 hours, a once thriving Black business district in northern Tulsa lay smoldering – a model community destroyed and a major African-American economic movement resoundingly defused.

And this:

Rosewood Florida Massacres: Rosewood majority black due to circumstances similar to those in Ferguson today.

Lynching had become so common in the United States, especially in the South, that in 1921 Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri introduced a bill in the House of Representatives to make lynching a federal crime. Dyer acted out of conscience but also at the strong behest of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

It is doubtful that the handful of residents in Rosewood, Florida, ever read the Tuskegee report. Yet its citizens would be victims of racial violence in 1923 and several would be murdered. In the first week of January, Rosewood was the center of what became known variously as a riot, a massacre, and a race war.

And this:

Atlanta Race Riot (1906)

When the Civil War ended, African-Americans in Atlanta began entering the realm of politics, establishing businesses and gaining notoriety as a social class. Increasing tensions between Black wage-workers and the white elite began to grow and ill-feelings were further exacerbated when Blacks gained more civil rights, including the right to vote.

Chicago Race Riots (1919)

The “Red Summer” of 1919 marked the culmination of steadily growing tensions surrounding the great migration of African-Americans from the rural South to the cities of the North during World War I. Chicago was one of the northern cities that experienced violent race riots during that period.

Washington, D.C. Race Riots (1919)

Postwar Washington, D.C., roughly 75 percent white, was a racial tinderbox. Housing was in short supply and jobs so scarce that ex-doughboys in uniform panhandled along Pennsylvania Avenue.
However, Washington’s Black community was then the largest and most prosperous in the country, with a small but impressive upper class of teachers, ministers, lawyers and businessmen concentrated in the LeDroit Park neighborhood near Howard University.
By the time the “Red Summer” was underway, unemployed whites bitterly envied the relatively few blacks who were fortunate enough to procure low-level government jobs. Many whites also resented the influx of African-Americans into previously segregated neighborhoods around Capitol Hill, Foggy Bottom and the old downtown.

Knoxville, Tennessee Race Riots (1919)

In August 1919, a race riot in Knoxville, Tenn., broke out after a white mob mobilized in response to a Black man accused of murdering a white woman. The 5,000-strong mob stormed the county jail searching for the prisoner. They freed 16 white prisoners, including suspected murderers.
After looting the jail and sheriff’s house, the mob moved on and attacked the African-American business district. Many of the city’s Black residents, aware of the race riots that had occurred across the country that summer, had armed themselves, and barricaded the intersection of Vine and Central to defend their businesses.

New York City Draft Riot (1863)

The Draft Riot of 1863 was a four-day eruption of violence in New York City during the Civil War stemming from deep worker discontent with the inequities of the first federally mandated conscription laws.
In addition, the white working class feared that emancipation of enslaved Blacks would cause an influx of African-American workers from the South. In many instances, employers used Black workers as strike-breakers during this period. Thus, the white rioters eventually turned their wrath on the homes and businesses of innocent African-Americans and anything else symbolic of their growing political, economic and social power.

And I could go on like this all day, but I’m sure by now you get the point. It has been a plan of angry,envious and ignorant white communities throughout the history of this nation to make sure Blacks never progress. Nothing has changed. The same tactics are still being used. Most blacks know this, problem is we have people in the white populations who haven’t been educated or choose to ignore the facts. I believe it is time for the citizens of this nation, and people around the world because it happens all over the globe to face the facts and the truth and try to reconcile.

Police acting like storm troopers is normal behavior when they are in black communities, it is as though their leadership condones it. In other communities they conduct themselves as a police officer should. We also have to remember that there are racist in this nation, and many of them are a part of the police force whether you want to believe it or not. So even though things appear to be easily summed up, something like what is occurring in this country YET AGAIN due to the same reasons that have plagued the nation since inception can’t be easily explained away.

Hi monicaangle,Nice post

for the reggae try again.

IF not received i will try AdLib.

I’m sure that in many law enforcement circles, the name Cleaver automatically brings back memories of the sixties and the fear of black people that was so prominent then (and now).

Just the mention of the name Black Panthers, causes fear and hatred to well up in ignorant, uninformed whites.

Just look at all the fear generated among TPers and conservatives by just three men, New Black Panthers, standing outside of a polling place on election day. The images of these three men, who really did nothing but stand around for a few hours, was shown again and again by right wing media with the implication that the world as we know it would come to an end. The RW media used these images over and over again to spread fear and hatred among the moron viewership.

Those images, or reports of those three men, still are being mentioned as a precurser to the sky falling and the downfall of America, by the ignorant morons that make up a large part of America’s right wing.

Republicans who are trying to use militias for political advancement are playing with fire. They are going to wake up one day to find this country in flames and it will be due to their antebellum ideology and their adding fuel to these militia fires that are rising up all over this country.

But of course, we’re just told these two were crazy, and end of story. No S.W.A.T. team harassing members of the militia that they claimed to belong to, no questions publicly of any of those affiliated with these two who by the way were at the Cliven Bundy ranch fiasco.

Imagine if a black person committed that crime claiming to belong to a black militant group…I shudder to think of what would have happened to people of that group when the FBI found them. White militia groups appear to operate with impunity.
