RE~ceived in an e-mail today...thought some may BE interested!
Greetings,
In celebrating memory of Dr. King and Black History Month, African-Americans are in the most crucial times of their existence here in America, since congressional hearings began on H.R. 40 on 12-18-07! H.R. 40 is a bill in which congress is asked to study the institution of slavery and the impact it has on Black people today. Harmful and lasting effects of slavery are real and tangible within society and the psyche of Black people. Thanks to Dr. Joy Leary a technical term has been applied equating Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS). African-Americans have gone through bad and worse periods of time during their past 500 years of living in this United States territory. Many of them think their history began with slavery. They do not know the truth because it has been intentionally withheld. Now they have the opportunity to learn the truth about their ancestors, culture and heritage and seek restoration, restitution, rehabilitation and compensation. I would like to thank all of the individuals and groups who have made this possible by their constant action in the reparations arena.
BET recently aired a program called 25 events that Mis-Shaped Black America. I did not see the entire program but I do recall the top 3 events. They were Slavery, AIDS and Drugs. The question is should Blacks receive reparations for all the damage that these 3 events have caused. The answer is an undeniable and unequivocal yes and under no conditional circumstances! The basic function of reparations is to repair the damage done to a people. Evaluating these top 3 events we will find overwhelming damage done to the Black Family. The terrible part of this scenario is that there are many more events and periods of time in which African-Americans sustained severe damage.
They range from Willie Lynch Indoctrination, to the Illuminati, to negative images and stereo types, to Lynching, to lies and deceitful intentions of reconstruction, to The Freedmen’s Bureau thefts, to The Red Summer attacks, to segregation, bussing and integration, to The White Citizens Council, to Cointel-Pro, to Police Brutality, to the John Birch Society, to Ron Brown and the delegation of black business class people who were shot down in a plane with their economic strategy for Africa, to the conditions that are afflicting Africa and her native population today, to the Black Matrix, to the last two presidential elections, to Housing and Gentrification, to victims of Hurricane Katrina, to the education and justice system and to promising black high school students who were victims of unsolved murders all across America, in an effort to stop the rise of the black messiah.
We should also mention the 2 most alarming events that Mis-Shaped Black America which are the spiritual and cultural disconnection. African-Americans have been displaced, forbidden to practice traditional customs, unable to assimilate because of their complexion and lacking in opportunities for employment, peace and progress. These are the greatest contributing factors responsible for destroying the Black Family and causing black on black crime.
African-Americans need a process that will enable them to identify all of their problems that came as a result of enduring such traumatic experiences, with the intent of developing solutions. H.R. 40 is a good beginning for testimony but there has to be an in-depth course of action that will lead to African-American liberation and independence, which will come by producing an African-American Reparations Package similar to the Marshal Plan. We recommend the Five Phase Plan to achieve these goals, which I can forward to you upon your request.
