WHO ARE YOU?

WHO ARE YOU?
"Man is indigenous to Africa"
_____Professor Ali Mazrui

One of life's bitterest pills to swallow indeed is the widespread confusion which plagues the everday lives of people of color. (not to mention the same confusion of others who think they're experts about their id!)

Vicious untreated racism/colorism, infusing societies worldwide, remains a sure symptom of post slavery traumatic syndrome, strongly-perpetuated by institutions of 'education' obdurately refusing to acknowledge and teach the truth about the Black African origin of all huemans.

Cruel Britannia: the immeasurable damage that the repercussions of British Empire colonizing has done to nations and people of color continues even to this very moment. In what other arena do the formerly-colonized openly brag about "the great education system" of the Brits? Yeah, 'great,' if one is talking about perpetuation of color (and class) artificial barriers to positive hueman interaction.

Especially onerous are individuals who resemble former slave owners arrogantly assuming the right to gratuitously dictate self-serving appellations to people they deem 'lesser' huemans ('lesser' because of the levels of observable skin melanin)

In other words, such 'color striation' infesting every nation on this planet - some to a greater degree than others (depending on the percentage of people of color in their population) is the unhealthy, counterproductive heritage which must be acknowledged and forthrightly dealt with if there is to be any security whatsoever for the citizens of this planet.

Take a look at the predation which has occurred (and still goes on) as a result of the actions of the D.C. war dawgs over at least the past 150 years: the U.S.A. has invaded hundreds of countries of color! The truth of the matter is that U.S.A. 'foreign' policy, like its domestic policy, operates on a de facto racist/colorist basis. (and just because the world's population is three-quarters of color is certainly no justification for those invasions)

However, as Malcom X so aptly observed, now it's a matter of "...the chickens coming home to roost..." - what we have today are increasingly alarming anti-social events caused by untreated racism/colorism against people of color who are no longer willing to 'take' such oppression and who 'act out' their frustration in unexpected-to-some vengeful ways; like the recently-executed D.C. sniper, John Malveau, and the Fort Hood military Psychiatrist Nadal Malik Hasan.

And, because they refuse to acknowledge what part that untreated racism/colorism has played in Hasan's case, the white male-owned-and-run U.S.A. media in its know-it-all-mode has begun blathering about his 'Muslim connections,' and possible 'terrorism involvement.' Predictable...

The depressingly-naive will cry, "Oh, but he killed Black people too!" DUH! Why do they continue to look for sanity in the actions of the obviously driven-insane? (anything other than putting the blame where it belongs: on pandemic untreated racism/colorism)

Finally, part of the required healing is for hueman beings to learn and acknowledge exactly who they are: what their identity really is. This means not only people 'of color,' but also the more 'rinsed out' generally- dominant people described (in their unearned skin-privilege) as 'white.'*

The basic usually-hidden truth is that there is only one hueman 'race,' which truth once and for all should scuttle the historic hegemonic hierarchical theory and practice of white supremacy.

As the Institute for "Interracial" Harmony, Inc. Motto goes: "Prejudice Is Learned - It Can Be Unlearned - Many colors - One race."

Only when one's identity is known (and acknowledged) then the oh-so-necessary healing of the world's societies can begin. 'Alla' we is one.

"THEY CAN EVEN USE MY BATHROOM!"

"THEY CAN EVEN USE MY BATHROOM!"
(Where The Wild Things Really Are)

Well well well - here at the end of 2009 (already a year of ripe boners) comes the definitive test of whether someone's a racist (colorist) or not:

A white Louisiana Justice of the Peace, Keith Bardwell (ref. Digital Journal October 16, 2009 - Chris Dale), about his obdurate refusal to marry what CNN inaccurately labels an "interracial" couple (and we know there's no such animal 'cause there's only one hueman race):

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in
mixing the races that way. I have piles
and piles of Black friends...they even use my bathroom!..."

Oh my! His bathroom - maybe he should receive a Nobel Peace Prize for such largesse.

(This is what I get for watching CNN - Yo!)

See, in this 'post-racial' (they're kidding - right?) era, that cop Barnett, in Massachussetts, calls Blackfolk "banana-eating monkeys," and claims he's not racist (colorist); talkRat Rush Limbaugh's nutsy defenders say because he was prevented from purchasing the NFLeague's St. Louis Rams, it was a "high-tech lynching" (which arrogant 'rhetorical borrowing' egregiously trivializes the horrid lynching of Blacks in this hostile-to-color country and is extremely offensive); First lady Michelle Obama is labelled "a bitch;" white, male (mostly Catholic) cops nationwide slaughter Black males with impunity. Oh Yeah!

"We" have really 'come a long way' with color-relations in the U.S. of A. - NOT!

For all of the bozos who keep prating that because there's a Black Family in the White House, 'things' (meaning colorism) are 'better' - lemme' count some of the negative ways color matters:

• In Phoenix, Arizona, although a Black man sitting in a car with a white woman were earlier taunted with "What are you doing with that white woman?" - Phoenix Police Commissioner is flatly refusing to label the Kelley Joeger slaying 'a hate crime,' stating only that "...there were racial overtones..." - Yeah, right!
• "We" still have a milk-white mostly male Congress in this country;
• The nation's cops are still stopping, frisking, beating and shooting Black males in the back (cops of any color don't shoot white males in the back) - go figure;
• The white-owned restaurant "Greenhouse" is fighting a whopping one BILLION dollar lawsuit by best-selling author Teri Woods because they wouldn't allow over 160 of her Black guests into her book party at the restaurant;
• Idiot Talk Show Host Glenn Beck calls President Barack Obama a racist (colorist);
• The two white male racist (colorist) Homer, Louisiana cops who shot Black Elder Bernard Monroe Sr. dead, are still walking free, but recently resigned their police jobs.
  (These are but a few of the instances of untreated racism/colorism)

Wake Up Amerikkka! - it's gonna' take a massive ongoing overhaul of this hostile-to-color society to prevent the above-mentioned color infractions from continuing to erode progress in the nation. Indeed, without www.racismtest.org -ing and treating all decision-makers in the fields of economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war - those infractions will certainly escalate - right in yer face!

But there are far too many people around who hide their heads in the sands of denial, like WBAI Pacifica Radio station's Janet Coleman who said once, when I called in to broach the www.racismtest.org [posted on www.Discussrace.com] as a topic for discussion, "I don't wanna' talk about that Test!"

NO, Janet, don't just talk about it - TAKE it and reveal your score to your listeners, then hie off to Ethnotherapeutic counseling until you can THINK STRAIGHT about differences in color and culture: perhaps that could help pave the way toward ending the current racism/colorism-based WBAI impasse!
