Dear Dr. Null:
Re:Your Statement- The Week of Oct. 7, 2007 - That You 'Don't See Color'

I've just read a copy of of an insightful, irenic letter by the Hon. Jean Wilkins Dember MHS to you: herein is my take on your state of denial concerning 'not seeing color.'

One of the most hideous aspects of untreated racism/colorism is its propensity for cutting right across hueman intellect. In other words, some of the most otherwise intelligent individuals are afflicted with varying degrees of racism/colorism, more often than not unknowkingly. And they retreat, defensively when confronted, into deep denial of their societally-conditioned bias.

We believe that the sort of pre-judgement based on perception of a hueman being's skin melanin, to some degree or other because it is fallacious, causes an increase in the body's acidity levels. In other words, untreated racism/colorism actually affects the health of folk who, consequently, aren't cogitating clearly: people who 'judge a book (hueman) by its cover' are engaging in negative thinking and that negativity affects their body's acid/base balance - it's unhealthy.

Considering your temendous contributions to the overall health of so many of us who've followed your sage advice down through the years, it is vital that you, of all people, begin to acknowledge that because the hueman body is an integrated entity, and because our minds have such a profound impact upon our physiology, anything which operates against our mental health deserves strict attention, special understanding and action geared toward healing.

Many years ago, several of us - including an Ethnotherapy Psychologist, Dr. Mari Saunders and an international journalist, Winston Worrell, decided that we would set up - not as a panacea of course - a healing intervention in the form of our www.racismtest.com with follow-up Ethnotherapy, a tool we use to foment positive dialogue about colorism in non-threatening arenas to - as Law Professor Lani Guinier has so aptly said - "...put the issue of racism (colorism) on the front burner so as to be able to deal with it in a forthright manner...".

I enclose a recent tract, one of my blogs,** to further elucidate what we've delineated as the dire need for counteracting the systemic and deleterious mal-education to which we've all been subjected (which continues to this day) which fails to teach millions of white, Red, Yellow, Black, Brown and Olive huemans who their most distant relatives were: Black Africans in Africa, the cradle of civilization.

All huemans are 'of African descent.* - some are more or less 'rinsed out, but more's the continuing pity that eurocentricity has failed miserably to teach the truth about hueman origins! This has led to the pandemic generally unacknowledged affliction of colorism. ('Mitakuye Oyasin' - Indigenous for "We're all related")

Dr. Null, since you have publicly (and probably inadvertently) revealed your own colorism by denying that you see color, thereby relegating three quarters of the world's population invisible, may we offer you a tried and true method of healing - the www.racismtest.com Program - to at least begin to divest yourself of the unhealthy societal conditioning which has you denying the reality of our beautiful melanin?

In Solidarity With Your Health Quest,

PLEASE, BLACKFOLK: NO "WILD NOOSE CHASES!"

PLEASE, BLACKFOLK: NO "WILD NOOSE CHASES!"

Anyone with an ounce of truthcentricity in their bones will admit that untreated racism/colorism is pandemic, right?

Is it really necessary to point out that in virtually every country in this euro-colonized world, that the darkest*-hued huemans are relegated to and kept on the bottom of the socio-economic rungs of nations' ladders? *(If we must continue to utilize white as 'the norm' for comparisons anyway)

So, for the sake of this cautionary plea not to go on 'wild noose chase short-term-no-follow-up-action--demonstrations-of-outrage-into-the-ether,' can we agree that untreated, unhealthy, undeniable and unfair racism/colorism is, unfortunately, still eating away at societys' fabrics?

Okay, so you're not racist/colorist because you haven't been conditioned by a society you've just agreed is racist/colorist - hmm? (I don't know how you've arrived at that spurious conclusion without at least taking the www.racismtest.com - but let's push on.

It's truly painful going through a lugubrious litany of abhorrent examples of vicious and deadly widespread colorism (the holding of one's color against one), such as: 70th precinct NYPD cops ramming a broomstick up Abner Louima's rectum, big brawny white cops handcuffing a five year old Black child, deadly shooting 50 times-(19 struck him) at the late, unarmed Amadou Diallo, killing unarmed Sean Bell on his wedding day in Queens, N.Y., keeping Brazil's Blacks out of colleges and super Soprano Marion Anderson outta' the NYC Metropolitan Opera House despite her phenomenal world-famous voice, maltreating Brown Algerians in France until, in frustration, they burned hundreds of vehicles, terror-chasing and incarcerating Black and Brown and Olive and Yellow folk in U.S.A. immigration I.C.E. raids, maintaining an all-white U.S.A. Congress, declaring that Black children in N.Y. only require an 8th grade education, maintaining all-white TV ads & Rockettes & fire departments in a multi-colored milieu, calling Black female athletes "Nappy-headed hoes," 50% unemployment for NYC Black males while the unemployment for white males is a mere 5-7%, castigating a brillant Black 9 year old girl for her social commentary (Autumn Ashante), the 'normalizing-the-unthinkable' Katrina outrages (which continue), firing a tenured Indigenous outspoken Professor, (Ward Churchill), maltreating Dalits in color-caste-riven India, building obscene walls against Palestinian children, ignoring for so long the genocide in Black Rwanda, Sudan's Darfur and in the "Democratic" (yeah, right) Republic of Congo, and refusing to www.racismtest.com U.S.A. cops before sending 'em into Black and other people of color communities, the U.S.A.'s hue-sick Census Board dividing the hueman race into ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN 'RACES,' - among too many other instances of colorist insanity. ('The Jena 6' Mychal Bell is back in jail, isn't he?)

Anyone with an ounce of honesty in 'em should realize that there will, inevitably, be more and more instances of this colorist mental sickness surfacing like putrid pus from a popped pustule. Expect more and more "nooses", people - but for everyone's sake don't be side-tracked! - DEAL WITH THE CAUSAL UNTREATED RACISM/COLORISM!

There'll be more and more 'nooses' (symptoms of the disease) -and not just at Teachers College at Columbia University and the Hempstead police station - but until and unless the underlying colorist sickness is ferreted out on an individual basis, by first incorporating continuous (I can't emphasize enough, the importance of maintaining ongoing efforts to counteract institutional colorism) anti-racism/colorism programs in every single hueman institution by utilizing the www.racismtest.com and follow-up Ethnotherapy, the entrenched colorism and denial will only escalate.

This, of course, is an horrendous undertaking, but if lives are to be saved, colorist inhuemanity purged, 'the good society' to be achieved and equity to be firmly established, testing and treating racism/colorism must be incorporated - all over this color-torn world!

James Baldwin said: "There was not then, or is there now, a single American institution which is not a racist institution;" Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "Racism is a sin unto death."

Another Noose - So, What Else is New?

(To the Columbia University Teachers College Professor Madonna Constantine who was sent a noose placed on her door) Via E-mail: Constantine@exchange.tc.Columbia.edu
10th September 2007
Dear Professor Constantine:
I am very sorry that you've become the latest (that we know of) target in a serious stream of untreated racism/colorism. I refer you to the - below - letter I've sent out this am to others in the Psychology Department. (before I had your e-mail!)
Sisterly Congratulations for having the bravery to come out swinging publicly!
I've just read your statement, right below President Fuhrman's statement and I would say - about your phrase, "...individuals of all races..." - that there is but one 'race,' the hueman one. (We, at the Institute for "Interracial" Harmony, Inc. have been calling for a new Anti-Racist/Colorist Lexicon) I can think of no better venue for a series of panel discussions on this topic than Columbia, in light of the current stir over colorism.
I would like to offer you the use of our Racism Quotient Test Program to be used with your students and any Staff members who'd like to learn just how this society's conditioned them -most times even without their knowledge. (We should 'strike while the iron is hot!')
Sincerely Yours,
Your Sister-in-THE-Struggle,

P.S. Are you by any chance related to Learie Constantine?
Another Noose - So, What Else is New?
So? The fact that, even though the Teachers College at Columbia University up in Harlem, New York, is listed as a 'bastion of liberal activism,' (with an impressive motto: "Educational equity - a moral imperative for the 21st century") does not insure its 500 students or its 150 faculty members from the effects of having been conditioned by an institutionally racist/colorist society, and thus, inevitably, someone resorting to hanging nooses - or worse.
Those of us long laboring in the field of anti-colorism know full well that if continuous www.racismtest.com ing and post-test follow-up referrals to Ethnotherapy aren't integrated into the curriculum and made available in non-threatening atmospheres, then colorist incidents like 'nooses' (and cops murdering Black males and other people of color almost indiscriminately -cops don't shoot white males in the back and 'Jena 6's and even Hempstead locker nooses) will continue to raise their sick heads in this country. And of course, mainstream media and others will continue to knee-jerk respond instead of taking www.racismtest.com proaction - as though these nasty events are unique and not an expected part of the epidemic of untreated racist/colorist thoughts and behavior
The - below reported - behavior at the Teachers College at Columbia University should be recognized by the President, Susan H. Fuhrman, as a God-Given opportunity (for the 5000 students and 150 member Faculty) to set up a ground-breaking and on-going Program of www.racismtest.com ing -and when dysfunction is indicated [and at least a third - if not a higher number - of those tested will be found dysfunctional, if our Institute for "Interracial" Harmony, Inc. stats from www.racismtest.com ing the volunteer 4000 'liberal' readers of The Village Voice newspaper in 1992 is any indication of this society's brainwhitewashing effects on its unsuspecting students] - to provide follow-up referrals to Ethnotherapy for those who are found dysfunctional.
We at the Institute for "Interracial" Harmony, Incorporated, have been administering the www.racismtest.com to individuals across the scope of huemanity (including a college President, members of the NYPD Psychology Department, Brooklyn sitting Judges, a Mayor of an upstate NY town, and many, many others) for over twenty years, with exceedingly positive results (we are often told that the dialogue following the administration of the Test is a remarkable learning experience).
We stand ready, willing and able to not only confer with those administrators who would like to ensure a non-colorist and stable atmosphere in their various institutions - especially institutions of learning - but to set up prototypes for each individual institution, tailored to their respective anti-colorism ongoing curricula.
Without such ongoing programs to counteract the extant colorist conditioning by this society, and despite all of the anguished deploring of such 'hateful acts,' or even 'fostering multiculturalism,' be prepared to witness escalating 'nooses' and bias attacks and colorist murders, ad infinitum and nauseam.

The Brooklyn Court Department of Jurors

To: The Brooklyn Court Department of Jurors
Courthouse
360 Adams Street
Brooklyn, N.Y. (or 'anywhere' - U.S.A.)
Date:
Dear Sirs/Madams:
Because we are all conditioned by the United States of America's racist/colorist society which obdurately refuses to teach the truth about the historical Black origins of huemanity - (starkly illustrated by the fact of that colorist film you show to prospective jurors which incorrectly states that the jury system began in Europe instead of telling the truth that it began in Africa), I do not believe that any Black or other person of color can receive a fair trial in any court in this country unless every single individual in the court system of the United States of America is first tested for their racism quotient* to prove to the public that they're not dysfunctionally colorist. (Those who are thusly determined to be dysfunctional should not be fired but should be referred to Ethnotherapy until they're healed of their colorist afflictions)
Since your Court has no sytem of continuous racism/colorism testing and treatment, I know that I cannot honestly take part in your court proceedings, which remain a pitiful and cruel Twenty-first Century anomaly with respect to equity for people of color.
So, in all truthcentricity, I respectfully decline your demand that I, a Black hueman being of good conscience, "serve" as a juror in your colorist institution.

OPEN LETTER TO J. REED WALTERS:

OPEN LETTER TO J. REED WALTERS:
LOUISIANA's 'JENA 6' PERSECUTOR:-
WINNER OF THE
"21st CENTURY JIMCROW, JR.* CRACKERJACK AWARD"
CONGRATULATIONS, Mistah Prosecutah - you de' DADDY of the United States of America's 21st Century Black Revolution! Who'd a' thunk it? All by yerself, you've managed to stir up the brave hearts and souls of Blackfolk into full-throttled civic action the like of which we ain't experienced in over forty years!
You've loosed our Genie in Jena! - (that blackwater backwater! Made yer lil' town 'a symbol of untreated racism/colorism nation-and-worldwide! Proud of yourself?) Whether you 'do the right thing' (not 'the white thing') by those Black boys or not - you're going down professionally - AND you're going down in history as the 'Progenitor of the End of Black Proletarian Passivity!'
(When your neighbors begin ta' realize just what you've done - they might even hang you from a tree!)
COMMISERATION, because, as the symptoms - of your colorism-diseased brain - spew outta' your mouth - "I can end your lives with a stroke of a pen!" - "...this has nothing to do with race!.." - and result in your evil deeds against children (Black, white, Red, Yellow and Brown - whether they realize the impact or not) - you remain a total victim of the U.S.A.'s dumbing-down sysdumb of ' mal-educating the masses.' You stand as a stark illustration of the public ignorance bred by this country's educators who refuse to teach their students the truth of hueman origins: that, as our Red relatives say - "Mitakuye Oyasin!" - "We are all related!"
There is only one hueman 'race,' - so, by cracky! - there you are down there - persecuting the relatives of yer own ancestors, - you rinsed-out Black man in your genetically-mutated white-skin-of-unearned-privilege! It's not too late for you and those other victims like you to learn exactly who y'all are - huemans of African descent! - "Many colors - ONE race!"
How do you spell "I-R-O-N-Y?" Brother Malcom X said, "Chickens Coming Home To Roost!"
You are also, by keeping 'The Jena 6' under prosecutory predation, perpetuating and prolonging the civic unrest in the tinderbox atmosphere existing in this color-torn country, which recalcitrance amounts to a dangerous and explosive undermining of the nation's laws. And what kinda' jerkwater town legal-hack are you not knowing - or caring - that the LA law gives an automatic pardon to anyone convicted of committing aggravated battery? (Due credit to our Warrior Attorney Alton H. Maddox Jr.'s activist legal research!) Oi!
COMMISERATION, because the same racist/colorist disease which cuts across your intellect and has you abusing children (juvenile Mychal Bell languishing for TEN MONTHS in jail), has those equally racist/colorist Jena School Board authorties cutting down one of God's blessed trees instead of cutting out the racism/colorism infesting their thoughts and behaviors!
P.S. Surely this is the ideal time for Black leaders and in fact the entire Black (and other huemans of conscience) communities to DEMAND & INSTITUTE nationwide www.racismtest.com -ing of all decisions-makers to first prove to the public that they're healthy - not dysfunctionally racist/colorist - before they're allowed into public office - especially police, prosecutors, judges and jurors!. Like untreated alcoholics - the mentally-sick ones shouldn't be fired when they're found dysfunctionally racist/colorist - (there'd be no one left in office!) - but referred to Follow-Up Ethnotherapy until they're healed of their mal-educated, maladaptive and socially-conditioned colorist affliction.
HEAL AMERICA!
(North - Central - AND South!)

"...LOOK FOR ME IN THE WHIRLWIND..."

"...LOOK FOR ME IN THE WHIRLWIND..."
(A 17th August 2007 Personal Commemoration of Marcus Garvey Day)
Perhaps, in reflecting on Marcus Garvey's portentous 'Whirlwind' admonition, we can begin to understand the August 12 - 17th 2007 riotous concatenation of events, as Garvey's influence might've been swirling raucously amidst this week's flurry of events: (Notice that the following events directly affect mostly people of color everywhere, although this shouldn't be surprising, since three quarters of this entire world's population is comprised of - people of color:
- The passings of the veteran Historian Asa Hilliard and musician Max Roach and Caroline Goodman, mother of slain civil rights rider Goodman of the murdered trio - Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner;
-Category 5 Hurricane "Dean" with 140 to 150 mile per hour winds whipping through the Caribbean heading for my Grand Mother's island of Jamaica, and Cancun;
- 300+ Iraquis dead and many more injured in suicide bombings;
- Peru's 1500+ dead from the effects of an earthquake;
-3 more coal miners dead - looking for their 6 missing colleagues;
- Arraignment of Latino alleged killers of 3 young Newark, New Jersey Blackfolk, whom the white 'mainstream' media insist on calling "students," as though that categorization makes their murders more important than if they were not 'students;'
-NYC Police Commissioner Adolph Kelly shamefully bouncing out with a color-targetting, 'The Sky's Falling!' - 'The Muslims Are Coming!' publication screeching about supposed 'home grown' local "terorists" in our midst;
-Greasy Attorney General Alberto Gonzales pushing for unconscionable and drastic shortening of Death Row folks' appeals times (most of those on Death Row are 'of color');
-The outrageous bullShit arraignment racist/colorist D.A. Charles Hines of Brooklyn, N.Y. brought against Hueman Rights Warrior Attorney Michael Warren (he and his Attorney wife Evelyn, witnessing the 77th pct. Sgt. Talvey & gang of blue thugs kicking, stomping and beating a handcuffed, lying-on-the-ground young Black male - asked why they were beating the boy instead of just arresting him, were then savagely beaten themselves, arrested and charged with the usual 'resisting arrest' - blah, blah, blah) - But, happily, there was an inspiringly large crowd of us 'Warren Supporters' in the courtroom!;
...all of this week's 'Babylon-Falling' events culminating - on Marcus Garvey's Day - with the opening of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network's 3-day series of Forums at the Adam Clayton Powell Jr. State Office Building. I was just in time to attend the 'Media Forum,' hosted by NAN's Public Relations Officer, Rachel Noerdlinger (yes, she's 'of color'). The question she asked - whether there was racism in the nation's news rooms was - I think - the wrong question - we already know that there's rank racism/colorism in the newsrooms of the U.S.A. - the question should've been - "What can be done about the racism in this nation's newsrooms?
This week, I wrote a letter to Mychal Bell, one of "The Jena 6' (google that and get the GodAwful story for yourself) - to give him some cheer in his jail cell:
Mychal Bell, Inmate,
A-Dorm, LaSalle Correctional Center,
15976 Highway 165, Olla, LA 71465-4801
(you write the boy too, please)
COLORISM REIGNS -
BUT TAKE HEART-
MARCUS GARVEY IS 'IN THE WHIRLWIND!'

SCAM CIY - SCAM COUNTRY

SCAM CIY - SCAM COUNTRY
"Pulling The Wool Over Eyes in the U.S.A."
Dictionary definition of 'scam' - "a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation;"
Carol's definition of 'scam' - Sorry, Conniving, Absolutely-Murderous - that's what the epidemic, bogus, diagnosis of ADHD is ("Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder")
I was/am so outraged at learning about thousands of people, including doctors, social workers, school officials, who are involved in the medical SCAM described by my old friend, Dr. Fred Baughman in his unparallelled book, "THE ADHD FRAUD: How Psychiatry Makes "Patients' of Normal Children," that I did one of my bang-up book reviews - (see CT January Blog titled "Killing Kids Stealthily).
I remain outraged: they are abusing and actually killing little people - children, with forced doses of the killer-drug Ritalin, and other vicious drugs. (14 year old Matthew Smith, 12 year old Stephanie Hall, among other child-victims). A drug is a drug is a drug is a drug.
I can hear some folk now: How can this be?" "How can our government - like the FDA [Federal Drug Administraion] allow such a thing?" "Doctors (gods) are sworn not to do damage." "How could so many upstanding physicians and school officials be involved in such medical mayhem?"
Well, my poppet, doctors are hueman beings. And as my Son says - "Huemans'll do anything, Mom!" (a truism that saves my sanity as I encounter things which drive me up the wall in anger/frustration/opprobrium!)
The breadth and width of the ADHD-SCAM is mind boggling: because so many doctors - and now - AWK! - advertising companies (current TV ad; "Does your child have ADHD? We'll send you an ADHD package!") Of course they will! Moneyeeee! School officials, and others touting "ADHD!" "ADHD!"- desperately seeking quick-fix solutions for alleged mis-behavior or acting-out of school children and 'taking on' pseudo-diagnoses themselves, referring their charges to ADHD-diagnosing doctors! And when/if parents object - more disaster, involving - God help us - accusations of parental child abuse, referrals to child welfare administrations who threaten parents and then take away the children!
That these abominable tacitcs are disproportionately affecting children and families of color is to be expected: when 'wasichu' (Indigenous for 'whitey') catches colds - people of color catch pneumonia!
I urge you to:
1. Read my January Blog - "Killing Kids Stealthily;"
2. Log on to www.ADHDFRAUD.com
3. Read Dr. Fred's "The ADHD FRAUD"
4. Drop a 'HEALTH-PEBBLE!' - tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend...
PLEASE - HELP SAVE THE CHILDREN !
