WHERE YOU'RE LIVING

WHERE YOU'RE LIVING

My philosophy is wherever you're residing - commit to community 'uplifment!'

So, when I was living in Barbados, West Indies, registered as a citizen on the basis of being married to a Bajan (turned out to be a fourteen year blast); bore a lil' Bajan baby boy in Queen Elizabeth Hospital delivered by the son of the former Premier; was Secretary to Lord Beaverbrook's grandson - among other interesting experiences, lemme list just some of my civic donations for those who are unaware of 'em:

* planned and implemented the island's first Women's Political Caucus;

* named and helped Maude Wilkins start the island's first consumer organization - The Bajan Consumer League;

* provided office space and organizational assistance to the island's first Barbados Building Society;

* Set up and ran the island's first Babysitting business with trained-in-First-Aid sitters;

* helped teacher John Cumberbatch and others bring the Derek Walcott Trinidad/Tobago actors to Barbados (their first overseas 'gig');

* helped organize Jeannette Layne Clarke's Working Organization for Women;

* rescued a young female Canadian tourist from the clutches of the Coleridge Street Police Headquarters police (she'd called me hysterically from there asking for my help) - they'd grabbed her at six am one scary morning saying she was 'illegal;'

* was instrumental in starting- and became Advertising Manager for- the island's first women's magazine - "HERS;"

* helped form the Ursuline Convent School's first Parent/Teacher's Association (Dr. Kerr became its President);

* sat on The Commission To Liberalize The Abortion Legislation of Barbados with Dr. Hoyos;

* was responsible for Barrbados bringing Canadian Women's Activist Florence Byrd to advise the setting up of The Barbados National Enquiry Into The Status of Women - when I heard that she was vacationaing in St. James, I drove down to have a three hour conference with her. She said, "Carol, get your women's organization, WOW, to ask the Barbados Government - Errol Barow was Prime Minister - to ask the Canadian Government - Pierre Trudeau was Prime Minister - to send me down here to advise, as I did for Canada, how to set up a National Enquiry Into the Status of Women and I'll gladly come!" So said: so done. However, even though it was I who initiated the entire series of events, appreciated Dr. 'Sleepy' Smith's fine support, I was never invited to sit on the commission which held the island-wide Hearings spreading the word/necessity for the upcoming Enquiry!

* planned and implemented the first Candlelight Demonstration at the newly-built National Stadium for the Bajan Consumer League Membership Drive (candles & matches donated by the Industrial Park merchants) - where, for the first time, the historically warring political party Representatives - DLP AND BLP - appeared together on the same platform;

* planned and gave the island's first-time-there wildly-sussessful Art Exhibit at the Coleridge Street Police Headquarters (for the Trinidad/Tobago artist Bosco Holder);

* was the only person who visited the Jamaican Journalist Carmen Baily in the murky, musty, moldy, smelly 'Remand' cell behind the Coleridge Street Police Headquarters (not even her Attorney Tom Adams, the Jamaican High Commission staff, The Jamaican Women's organization, the Queen Elizabeth Blood Bank staff (where Carmen had taken an entire soccer team to donate blood) or the Editors of the local papers she'd been writing for visited her)!

* wrote well-received articles for "The Daily News," The Advocate," "The Nation," "The Beacon," newspapers and for "The Bajan" magazine;

* started and edited "The Barbados Nursing Journal" - 'nursing' not 'nurse's' so that all of the medical and ancillary workers would feel free to contribute their writings;

* personally raised $6,500 in donations in one week for the first Barbados-Hosted Caribbean Boy Scout Jamboree (Directed by Colonel Laurence Gordon Quintyne MBE);

* years before the building of Sherbourne Convention Centre, wrote a newspaper column calling for a National Convention centre (not that any credit for such an innovative column would ever be publicly acknowledged!)

* orchestrated the donations of 1. A Printing Press and 2. a full set of Collier's Encyclopedia to the Barbados Boy Scouts Association;

* helped to revolutionize the island's previously all-white male-dominated advertising industry by publicizing the fact that it is the island's women who make the majority of consumer brand purchase decisions, who spend the money on consumer goods and are the dominant numbers of registered voters (in my 'information box' for 'HERS' magazine)- thereafter, the island's newspapers for the first time, began publishing a weekly 'Women's Section' and the political parties established 'Women's planks in their platforms - especially after I personally planted a notice that the women of Barbados were considering starting a Women's Political Party!';

* after personal research into what plans - as late as December 1974 - the month before the 1975 International Women's Year worldwide celebrations - that anyone had made for observing that important event - (no one had) - planned, named and implemented the Inernational Women's Year Steering Committee with the able support of and donation of the Black Rock Cultural Center's Catholic Church Father Malachy Clune; this was the first function of the newly-built centre;

* suggested the Barbadian Woman of the Year IWY competition (Mignon Greenidge won);

* got the renowned Barbadian artist Omowale to design the turtleshell IWY Pin (he did it for free!);

* refused an invitation by Cuba's Fidel Castro to represent Barbadian womanhood in Cuba for IWY - (I said I was not 'representative' of the island's majority females - so Billie Miller became the representative, and found herself surprisingly-spirited all the way to Moscow, Russia before being delivered to Cuba for the ceremonies;

* convinced eleven Barbadian families to purchase Colliers Encyclopedias in one week, beating all of the other salespersons in the Caribbean - thereby putting Barbados on the world map in encyclopedia sales;

* went with a mother (working at the local main TV corporation) who'd bought a pair of shoes for her schoolchild which had 'burst out' the first week - when the Broad Street shop owner'd refused to replace the shoes or refund her money she called me. I went, as a Bajan Consumer League representative, and convinced the shop owner to stop trying to send the distraught mother to the shoe manufacturer but instead to do the right thing and refund her hard-earned money to her).

Have I committed - or what!

YOU ARE ME - I AM YOU

YOU ARE ME - I AM YOU

Huemans who have the same Mother are siblings.

You and I, gentle Reader, are sister and brother siblings because we have one ancestral Mother whose name was "Lucy," the Mother - anthropologically speaking - of all huemanity. So, as the Dakota, Lakota, Nakota Native American Indigenous 'Indians' say, "Mitakuye Oyasin" - 'We are all related!'

DNA research supports all of this scientifically (Ref. to SLC24A5 - the 'one race gene') without credible challenge, so why are so many hueman beings engaged in suppressing/oppressing/repressing other hueman beings who are only superficially different from them in color and perhaps culture? (We all bleed red) ANSWER: gross, on-purpose-miseducation-by-omission!

In other words, is it safe to say that because individuals weren't taught - at any level - about their own true identity/ancestry/descent, they are doomed to live out their lives maltreating people who are physically related to them but raised and conditioned by different cultures and who might wear skins of observable melanin?

What is the definition of insanity? It's the inability or unwillingness to recognize or acknowledge reality. (Also known as 'cognitive dissonance') Insanity reigns! Thus it should be a serious concern about all those folk - worldwide - who can't handle the truth - whatever color they may be.

A symptom of that insanity - the stubborn refusal of countries' 'education' systems to teach the truth about the Black African heritage/ancestry/descent of all huemans and the deleterious effects of that studied, powerful, purposeful omission - has compelled me to take up 'verbal arms' to ensure that my siblings are continuously informed about and warned of the damaging-to-individuals theft of the knowledge of huemans beings' identity.

How cruel is it to continue to allow such heinous lying-by-omission to warp the thinking of millions of multi-hued students causing such dysfuntional 'achilles-heel' thinking and behavior in so many huemans when it comes to their interaction with others who are different from them in culture and color.

How utterly hypocritical, disingenuous and counterproductive is it for the political, religious, educational and corporate institutional 'movers and shakers' to continue to ignore, suppress or avoid the reality of such an egregiously-grave theft as they prate about 'building a progressive society,' acting as though it's 'business as usual - it's not so important - hardly deserves mentioning at every opportunity. It'll eventually go away without the direct involvement of every single individual in every society.'

How indescribably ludicrous are those 'liberal' pretenders to speak of 'including' their versions of 'Black' history in their 'white-western-oriented' history, especially during that gratuitously-conferred 'Black' History Month! That's so like having a child tell its parents, "I'm gonna' include you!"

As with any aberrational thinking, such institutional, pandemic racism/colorism urgently requires detection and intervention: one can't change such ill health without first determining the levels of the infection within the individual and this can't be done by merely passing legislation against colorist behavior and then just sitting back and wishing the problem away.

One of the tools, necessary for involving individuals who - would like to and - deserve knowing how damaged they've been by being - unknown to themselves - maleducated about their own ancestry/descent/identity - is the Racism/Colorism Quotient Test Program, of The Institute for "Interracial" Harmony, Inc, - Motto: Prejudice Is Learned - It Can Be Unlearned: Many Colors - One Race," which includes the www.racismtest.org used along with Ethnotherapy, for dysfunctional response to differences in color and culture (until the respondents can THINK STRAIGHT), and as the first step in raising the consciousness of the individual, in a non-threatening arena.

My sisters and brothers, it is way past time to purposefully end the 'Family Dysfunction' in this racist/colorist world. We must determinedly put an end to allowing greedy racist/colorist war dawgs to miseducate our progeny to make it easier to send them off to wars and invasions against their very own siblings!

I am you - you are me.

OPEN LETTER TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CENSUS BUREAU

OPEN LETTER TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CENSUS BUREAU

Attention: Robert M. Groves, Director 'U.S.' Census Bureau

Isn't there something in the U.S.A. Constitution or laws which prevents government officials from hornswoggling the public in America? (HELP - American Civil Liberties Union!)

I've just received the incorrectly-titled 'United States' Census 2010 (incorrect because it should've read 'U.S.A.') - with its "race this and race that!" (and how many people don't know that your appellation "Negro" is pejorative and highly offensive?)

Moreover, 'race' is an utterly incorrect, racist/colorist social construct and has absolutely no place in government parlance. Such use of the incorrect term 'race' perpetuates injurious color discrimination, aside from counterproductively causing false results which - OH MY! - lead to the egregiously disproportionate siphoning of the people's tax monies into mainly-white enclaves! (We're sure y'all didn't mean to do that!)

Tell us, what's the name of the law which forces people in the U.S.A. to be counted?

Furthermore, there is only ONE hueman 'race' - but because the U.S.A. 'education' system still teaches almost exclusively about eurocentric (read 'white') history and values, the awesome ignorant results include, unfortunately, the perpetuation of the negative stereotypes raging throughout your 2010 Census form: this modern-day Tower of Babel geared to preserving white male domination!

As a Black African, white (English, Irish), Cherokee, elder female, Boston Massachussetts-born hueman being, I hereby register my utter opprobrium and embarassment at the blatant, arrogant, untenable and rank racism/colorism displayed for all to witness in your official "United States Census 2010" form. Don't hold your breath waiting for mine.

Democratic Solution: Undertake the responsibility your Department was mandated: tally this multi-colored U.S.A. population on the basis of it being hueman instead of attempting a futile and time wasting colorist, specious division of the ONE hueman race!

Black History Month: (Do you know who you are?)

Black History Month:
(Do you know who you are?)
By Carol Taylor
(First Black U.S.A. Flight Attendant)

Tell me something: if, as is often said, "The truth will out," and "The truth will set you free," why is it that the U.S.A. continues to perpetuate The Big White Lie that February - the shortest month of the year - represents some sort of separate "history" and that "Black" history deserves only a grudgingly gratuitous - albeit not very important - part of national attention?

Why are "World" history and "American" history taught as though they are separate entities in and of themselves when the truth is that they are part of "Black" history and not - as implied by the expression "Black History Month," the other way around.

"American" history and "World" history are "Black" history and it is long past time for this particular and vital truth to be told and told and taught!

Not a moment longer should the white supremacist, hegemonic, lying european colonialist system of continuously miseducating unsuspecting hueman beings be allowed to formally perpetuate The Big White Lie: the myth of superiority of white skin and the myth of inferiority of observable skin melanin. No more "Black stay back!"

If indeed "The truth will out" - let it be right now: if "The truth will set you free" - then let the people be set free once and for all by the public - continuing - acknowledgement (maybe a decree by that mostly all-white Congress of the United States of America) that not only are all huemans 'of Black African ancestry,' but that "World" and "American" history are 'Black' history and that it is no longer necessary to counterproductively and coloristically divide history into 'Yellow,' 'Brown,' 'Tan,' 'Olive,' 'white,' or 'Black' history!

I can hear the screeching now from the miseducated masses - (irrespective of what color they may be) - "Oh no! We've fought so hard for recognition as hueman beings and to have 'our own' existence acknowleged! Don't do away with Black Hisory Month - we need it!"

No we don't. And we don't need Black history to be incorporated into other-color histories: actually, "World" and "American" history should be incorporated into their parent, originating history - Black that is!

However, the obvious question from those who've somehow escaped from their U.S.A. miseducational, racist/colorist conditioning is: "Exactly what is meant by 'we' nd 'our own?' If, as has been scientifically-proven, all huemans are part of the Black African diaspora - all African - then doesn't it stand to reason tht 'we' and 'our' is 'us?'

Alla' we is ONE! 'We' have but ONE history and 'our' most distant ancestors were Black.

Isn't it time to tell all the children the truth? 'Come together - right now'... nd be free!'

Anti-Racism/Colorism Self-Starter Program

Anti-Racism/Colorism Self-Starter Program

• First of all, any hueman (my spelling) who has gone through or is going through a U.S.A. education system (with its eurocentric overview - 'uber alles') must be persuaded to understand: who they are, who were their most distant ancestors (as scientifially-proven by sound scientific revelations)*, and that their colorism-conditoned thinking is not their fault (nor should they be blamed for it) but is a counterproductive inheritance which must be abandoned.
• Then, it is absolutely necessary for them to understand the history of the world - not just of Europe.
• Following that should be a mandatory study of the effects of whiteEuropean colonization of countries of color and the reasons for the exploitation of their people, land and natural resources.
• At an early stage of this de-conditioning participants should take the www.racismtest.org [posted on www.discussrace.com] and where responses are dysfunctional as to perceived differences in color and culture, Ethnotherapeutic Counseling should be undergone until the subjects can THINK STRAIGHT about color and culture.
• It should be acknowledged that racist/colorist thinking and acting out, scapegoating others because of the color of their skins is, pure and not so simple a mental disorder(inherited) because it engages in non-reality - believing in stereotypes. In the corporate arena, because the disorder/infection is so very widespread, racism/colorism should be treated like any other addiction (like alcoholism, where it's illegal to fire the addict unless she or he refuses to undergo treatment - including Counseling). Moreover, those exhibiting racist/colorist behavior on the job should not be fired: adequate treatment should be made available - thereby promoting public health and saving companies millions of dollars in potential non-compliance government suits against them.
• The main problem with most 'sensitivity,' 'anti-racism,' 'diversity' programs is that they mistakenly-focus on the victims of colorism rather than realistically focusing on healing the victimizers. Changes in the victims' behavior shouldn't be the goal, the goal should be on showing the victimizers how self-hamstringing their veiws and behaviors are (this 'faulty focus' is especially grievous as it applies to the Black-male-killings of police departments all over this hostile-to-color country. Police of any color don't shoot white males in the back!)

Finally, if the protracted fight against untreated racism/colorism is to yield even a modicum of success, the language folk unfortunately utilize these days must be changed, brought into line with reality: meaningless overused phrases and words such as, "raceS," "race-mixing," "out of his/her race," "inter-intra-bi-multi-racial," "racial"ANYthing: "post, groups, animosity, unity, attitudes, equity" **(or any OTHER noun - because, there is actually, Virginia, only ONE hueman 'race' which descended from the originating Black Africans* and it's way past time for progressive educators to acknowledge and teach this oh-so-basic truth - worldwide!

Let the healing continue! Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. did say that huemans should be treated, not by the color of their skin but, by the content of their character. This has relevance for the untreated color bigotry which pervades every arena of people activity all over the world: economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex and war (in case of disingenuous claims that certain countries "don't have a color problem").

**In fact, people who use these terms are - perhaps unwittingly - perpetuating the very racism/colorism some of them profess to dislike

PRISTINE LIFE EXPERIENCES

PRISTINE LIFE EXPERIENCES

Sometimes we take for granted our experiences - most of which many folk say we don't control or expect. As I review my own chaotic life, I'm forced to let loose a huge guffaw realizing that, viewed all together, my activities form a unique pannoply resembling the life of a Black 'Perils of Pauline!'

Have you ever:

• been kicked in the chest by the back legs of a friskly horse which'd just had water right after eating oats? (Lucky for me the kick merely lifted me off the ground: it's a farm 'no-no' to give water to a horse right after feeding it oats!)
• at age seven, received a response-letter from Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House?
• harvested black walnuts, spread 'em out to dry for later use in deelishious dark chocolate fudge your Mother made?
• become a Boston, Massachussetts Debutant at the Sheraton with Sir Arthur Fiedler at the scene?
• had your middle fingernail - right hand - permanently disfigured by the tusk of a big black boar named (by yer Dad) "Joe Louis," as you were feeding him (the boar) a banana peel? (Careless, careless - it coulda' been worse!)
• milked cows? - placing a crudely-made wooden stool under a cow, dodging her smelly, poop-stained swinging tail and fidgety back leg; balancing the metal pail under her teats and, leaning yer head on her warm stomach, pulling on her sometimes sore teats and directing the hot milk flow into the pail (or sometimes into the nearby cat's mouth) - listening to the welcome 'squish-squish' sound of the spray hitting the pail and the rising milk? (I am smiling - almost back there remembering - it's something you'd never forget and you'da' been lucky if that durn cow didn't step right into the bucket and turn the whole mess over!)
• proudly plowed an entire field - driving the family tractor - all the while breathing in the unforgettable aroma of clean, fresh, newly-turned dark earth? (I can smell it right now!)
• learned to shoot a .32 caliber handgun in a deserted field in Barbados, West Indies?
• dug up a basket of asparagus - it's planted in beds and you use a V-shaped cutting tool to harvest it under the ground - it grows right back the next week!?
• prepared chicken for dinner from A to Z: catching it after a hectic farmyard chase (bird cackling in terror all the while); wringing its neck (or using a short hatchet to chop off its head); sticking it into a bucket/pail of steaming hot water, then (pee yew!) plucking the soaking wet feathers off the body (you'll know first hand what's meant by 'bumpy chicken skin'), butchering the bird with a sharp knife - separating the parts at the joints, seasoning the meat, frying the bird, serving it to the family, washing the dishes afterwards and then disposing of the bones later? That's 'A to Z!'
• journalistically-covered The March on Washington - in 1963 - for your British-based Afro-Caribbean magazine, "Flamingo;"?
• gone through 24 hour 'natural childbirth' labor on Guy Fawke's day in London, England?
• called out BINGO! numbers on your own TV Show in Barbados, W.I. for the Lion's Club?
• given birth to a fat healthy baby boy after 8 hours of labor?
• crashed the White House in Washington, D.C., met and shook hands with JFK as the White House Photographer, Cecil Stoughton, captured the exciting interaction on film? (Two different shots)
• been rescued in Central Park, New York City, by a mounted policeman ("Hold on! I'll save you!") as your own horse bolted with you rendered incapacitated with uncontrollable laughter?
• walked into a NYC Bellevue Hospital operating room with four or five masked, gloved, robed doctors - hands up - standing facing you - behind an anesthetized, gigantic, reddish Black male lying prone on the operating table - huge exposed erect blood-engorged penis standing straight up in the center of the draped bright green sheets? (A Head Nurse compassionately steered an embarassed student nurse - me - quickly away from the guffawing MDs who'd set up the entire scenario as a joke)
• joined a fast-walking group of Trinidadian/Tobagonian males to tramp across the jungle in Trinidad, searching for orchids? (I was the only female - and was hoping to stumble across a 'mackawell' - a huge boa constrictor - I like snakes!)
• planned and implemented the first Women's Polictical Caucus in Barbados, West Indies (Although American citizens are not supposed to be involved in the politics of other nations)
• testified at the New York City Human Rights Court of Judge Maldonado as an Expert on racism/colorism;
• been written up by the Harvard University Professor 'Skip' Gates African American National Biographical project? (available in its entirety elsewhere on the Blog: www.caroltaylorword.blogspot.com )
• ridden a cow?
• in 2010, received a personal note from President Jimmy Carter in response to your letter to him praising his anti-racism/colorism remarks made by bigots about President Barack Obama?
• rescued a Canadian citizen from the clutches of the police when she was snatched up at 6 in the morning and had called you for help?
• invented the http://www.racismtest.org? (which every hueman being should take)
• landed with your hands wrist-deep in two smelly cow-poop patties and been unable to move (with your Mother howling with laughter at your unenviable plight)?
• threatened by the U.S.A. State Department (which'd compiled a foot-high file on you - retrieved copy with huge black redacted items marring the pages - under the FOIA) with the loss of your American citizenship at the same time as another country was asininely-giving you an oxymoronic 'opportunity' of 'registering as a Barbadian citizen' or 'you may be declared a prohibited immigrant!' (talk about the fear of becoming a 'woman without a country!')
• invited to lunch with an American Ambassador; tea with Harry Belafonte at the Russian Tea Room in NYC; dinner at NY's Waldorf Astoria with the Premier of Guyana, Dr. Cheddi Jagan; Indian cuisine in London, England, with Grenada Prime Minister Eric Gairy's Attorney General, Keith Alleyne, Q.C.; an interview with boxer Sugar Ray Robinson at London's posh Cumberland Hotel; London dinner with Guyanese writer Professor Ian Carew; supper with famied sociologist Lionel Tiger, London again; drinks at your home in Barbados, with Prime Minister of Barbados, The Hon. Errol Walton Barrow, Esq.?
• flown in a tiny beechcraft plane up to Albany, New York to meet with Governor Averell Harriman?
• invited to the Merv Griffin Show in Cleveland, Ohio - by Caravel Jet, after saying publicly that "Integration is the quaint conceit of the white man that all Blacks wanna' be white!"
• coined the term "colorism?"
• met and spoke with Malcom X the night before the 1063 March on Washington?
• sat at the feet of the famed Trinidad/Tobago Historian/Political Commentator C.L.R. James?
• played on a soccer team - half male, half female?
• water-skied on a circular table top?
• been arrested in a Broolyn, New York courthouse with Rev. Al Sharpton, Attorney William Kunstler and others (held overnight - rescue-represented by Attorney-at-War Alton H. Maddox, Jr.)?

Whoa! Lemme' stop with this next one - although there are loads more of my experiences you might be able to read about when I publish my (completed) controversial Autobiography!

• been invited by the emminent Black Congressman Rev. Adam Clayton Powell to "come and speak at the Church!"? (I'm done for now!)

BROTHER MALCOM X WAS RIGHT:

BROTHER MALCOM X WAS RIGHT: -
(About 'Chickens Roosting')

As the 'experts' endlessly prate about who made what mistakes in determining the cause of the latest terrifying attempt of international immolation (Detroit Northwest Flight #235'- Abdulmutallah's underwear-bomb), recollections of the accuracy of Malcom X's predictions about the United States of America ricochet through my mind.

Similarly, echoes, of the adage "What goes around - comes around" also flicker through my consciousness and when I look at the images of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallah (who looks like a startled nine year old - a deer caught in the headlights of a speeding automobile) I'm nearly overcome by a sense of ineffable tristesse at the pitiful stage of our world's counterproductive development of 'victims victimizing victims.'

Indeed, the more (white male-dominated) media in the U.S.A. try to present Abdulmutallah as a raging terrorist, the more he comes across as a hapless victim of monstrous manipulation.

But these efforts, along with other attempts at displacing responsibility for the adversarial nature of the world's 'military ping-pong' affairs will ultimately fail. I'm reminded of the prophetic phrase, "...the worm turns..." and all the endless doublespeak, by hypocrites who know better, about "intelligence failures," "secure areas," "let him through," "war on terrorism," "holding them responsible," "retaliation" and the ultimate vacuous 'wool-puller,' "national security," - which catch-all phrase is used by war dawgs who want to continue to scare the bejeezus out of a gullible public.

It's at once amazing and morally repugnant to me that I've not heard one single commentator, prognosticator, analyst, academician or Heaven forfend, politician - be honest enough to admit publicly that there's no such thing as "national security!" Please! If one continually dumps excrement in what they're fond of calling their 'backyards,' there will one day emerge an untenable stench! This hegemonic behavior of the U.S.A. on the world stage (invading over two hundred countries - mostly of color, like Grenada, Iraq and the Philippines in the past howmany decades) has evolved into escalating instances of what is hypocritically described as "terrorism" (the pot calling the kettle Black) but in reality is understandably-antisocial "payback" for perceived and actual injury.

The more the West (including Israel, Europe) continues to treat countries of color as their fecal 'backyards,' all the while waging inernecine military raids for resources/raw materials like oil, the more horribly-desperate huemans will be persuaded that 'going out in a blaze of gory' (pardon) and taking Western perpetrators with 'em, is better than living a hopeless life.

Question: Is there a subliminal 'fear-of-Blackness' connection between the U.S.A. war dawg military occupation of countries of color and white males' refusal to end the Death Penalty in the U.S.A.?

Under the present circumstances, I take no pleasure in remembering that other apt verity: "What ye sow, so shall ye reap!" The West sows - and the world's people reap/weep!
