FREEDMEN ABSOLUTE

Don’t Judge – Don’t Judge. Yeah. I was drinking wine early in the morning in the place of coffee. Yes. Those NAARC and N’COBRA people get on my damned nerves. Wine is the cure. Anyway!!! I was assisted in making those remarks by a bottle of Chateau Buena Vista Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2018. Leading with oak and ripe fruit. Full bodied structure – soft acidity. A medium sustain of blackberries, plums, and vanilla. Ending with raspberries. Long – complex finish.

Good Morning Task Force:

I’ll make this QUICK.

I get tired of others, including our Black elected representatives always pushing hard to make the descendants of American slaves the “MULES” for all other groups. Including Black immigrants. This is ridiculous. My lineage does all the work – absorbs all the pain – suffers through all the deprivation. But when it comes to some kind of justice – some kind of recompense. We are supposed to step to the back of the line and allow Caribbeans and Africans to be prioritized?

Taking this long to decide on something that should not be a question in the first place is an insult.

Now that I see how Pan Africanism works – I am against Pan Africanism.

If a correction is for the descendants of American slaves – why does it always have to be “Inclusive?” Correction is too good for just Native Black Americans. Right? Even though the slavery and abuse and Reconstructional failure was Exclusively targeted to us. Not targeted to Black folks that landed here voluntarily after the smoke cleared. Tired of this. Gotta include Eskimos, Martians, bluebirds, and any African that just flew in yesterday and got his feelings hurt by a random policeman.

Really?

And he then somehow deserves slavery reparations HERE? No he doesn’t. Anyone that thinks that he does is WRONG. Everyone on this panel understands that a race-based bill at this point is morally, legally, and constitutionally improper.

If this were a Jewish American issue – there would be no question as to eligibility. There would not be this level of open disrespect. Everybody would respect the legalities and sensitivities involved. Everybody on this panel would stay on subject. As the special and designated group of people that BUILT this country – WE exclusively deserve that special respect. AND we should not have to demand this.

This time – I hope that this panel will stay on subject – do the proper thing – and vote in favor of lineage-based reparations. – Hey NAARC and N’COBRA! – The people are not having your overscholarized nonsense.

END OF STATEMENT

This statement is self-explanatory. Share. Comment…

I was assisted in writing this post by a grand bottle of Luigi Bosca Terroir Los Miradores Malbec 2018. An Argentinian (Tunuyan Region) standout carefully aged for twelve months in French oak barrels. Fine structure. Leading in with plums, ripe orange, vanilla, and oak. Complex tannins. A sustain and ending of chocolate, expresso, and black cherries. Balanced acidity. Long – clean finish.

“Those who seek temporary security rather than basic liberty deserve neither… We began to talk about wanting to be first class citizens. We didn’t want to be second class citizens. You would have sworn that second class was in the Constitution. Also that citizens have to fight for rights. Imagine a citizen having to fight for civil rights! The very thought of it is repulsive. And I resent it and I reject this citizenship that was imposed on me. From the bottom of my heart I reject it. This is the thing that motivates me and keeps me going.”

“It’s past due. The United States will never be able to pay us all they owe us. They don’t have the money. But they’ll owe it.”

Audley (Queen Mother) Moore

After four years of looking, searching, phone calls, and starting over three times over again – I finally found something monumental. Something that was written in Queen Mother Audley Moore’s own hand. A very rare twelve page pamphlet entitled: “Why Reparations? Money For Negroes.” A revealing publication that should really be supremely interesting to soldiers working out here in these reparationist streets. Especially those soldiers that are hard core about the correct answer to the clear question of recipient specificity. The CORRECT Answer.

Yep. There is no question that Queen Mother Moore is the Pan African’s – Pan African. So much so that she, along with Callie House has been turned into a Pan African mascot. Good Pan African marketing, with nothing revealed regarding her actual philosophy regarding Reparations. The well-educated – well-informed NAARC (National African-American Reparations Commission) has a whole page on their website regarding Queen Mother Moore. But this pamphlet is strangely not included, even though this work exclusively focuses on Reparations.

But! Even though this well-educated – well-informed commission [NAARC] is sharply aware of its existence. Sharply. After reading this work, now I see (you will too) why The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis never speaks on the substance of the true nature of Queen Mother Moore’s ultimate Reparations energy and position.

Her position aligns with ours. At this point, read this post for yourself and judge on how much her well-reasoned position matches The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis’ non-specific Black universalist reparations position. And let us not forget that Queen Mother Moore was (Born July 27, 1898 – Died May 2, 1997) a Foundational Black American at her core Family. She was still connected reparationally to her American Freedman genesis. A great Foundational. Not a traitor in the least.

I will have further thoughts at the end of this post.

Why Reparations?

After 244 years of free slave labor and the most inhuman, sinister, and barbaric atrocities which pass in magnitude any savagery perpetrated against human beings in the history of the planet earth, and an additional one hundred years of so-called freedom accompanied by terror, the Committee seeking Reparations for the descendants of America’s Slaves, concludes that the payment of Reparations is an absolute necessity if the Government of the United States is ever to wipe the slate clean, redeem herself, and pay for the damages she has inflicted upon more than 25 million American citizens, who are members of the Black Race. The payment of Reparations is the only position America can take in the interest of justice and make an effort to restore the dignity to 13.1 percent of her citizenry.

THEREFORE, WE, The Committee For The Securing of Reparations For The Descendants of men and women brought from the continent of Africa, and enslaved in the United States of America for more than 244 years, and are now commonly referred to as “Negroes,” do now make formal request of the Government of the United States, for fair and just compensation for the loss of the property rights in the labor of our foreparents. For which no payment of any kind has ever been made. The loss of so great a value in labor and skills, by which means [certain] citizens of this nation, whom as a class called themselves “slave owners,” over a period of 244 years became unjustly enriched, thereby making possible the development of so many of the vast and numberless fortunes [possessed by them] – which even today accounts for a very considerable portion of this nation’s wealth, is now due and payable to us as victims of this loss.

WHEREAS, the original drafters of the Constitution of this nation recognized the property rights in a man’s labor, they recognized [the] members of the Black Race only as chattels or animals. Consequently, Black people were never thought of as attaining the status of [white] men and women, and thus no consideration had to be given to their labor and skills, nor [were] any rights extended whatsoever to them, either legal or human.

The signing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, belatedly bestowed the legal rights of ex-slaves, and provided that they be “classified” as human beings, [as] men and women. The Proclamation also made it unlawful to continue to force ex-slaves to contribute their labor and skills without “fair” compensation.

PAGE THREE

The Supreme Court of the United States has now established that members of the Black Race in America, no matter how they came, nor the circumstances of their existence, are now, and retroactively have been human beings. And as human beings, these men and women, members of the Black Race, are logically and legally entitled to all of the rights and benefits accorded to Caucasian men and women, including the right of inheritance and property rights, which are also retroactive.

Many years ago the Courts of the United States ruled that a man or woman has a property right in labor and skills, and that such [a] right is subject to [all] the laws governing inheritance. Hence, under the Inheritance Law, [American] members of the Black Race, as human beings and citizens, despite national (or regional) customs and practices, should be governed and protected [equally].

The fact, that no consideration was ever accorded members of the Black Race, who as a class were called “slaves” and whose descendants, as a class, are now called “Negroes” has compounded the original injury to those now called “Negroes.” This injury ranges all the way from chronic and extensive poverty – [this] causing suffering and emotional distress resulting from:

a – Lynching
b – Jim Crow – Segregation
c – Disfranchisement
d – Raping
e – Denial of the Right to Vote in Southern States
f – Police Brutality
g – Use of Dogs and Water Hoses
h – Use of Electric Cattle Prods
i – Use of Horses and Billy Clubs

And, the widespread contempt and disdain which we receive from our fellow citizens, [that are themselves] not relegated to such [a low] class. Being subject to [white] mental mayhem, a condition that will inevitably culminate into Genocide, unless stopped.

We – in the name of humanity created by God to seek a full life while in this earthly domain; for the cause of justice for which mankind craves; for the sake of dignity which all men strive; we,

PAGE FOUR

the people of African origin enclosed [and formerly enslaved] within the boundaries of the United States of America do declare that:

We do not now, nor have we ever had equal protection under the laws of this country which by various customs are not enforced, when we are involved.

We have, since 1863 been the victims of mob violence, lynching and systematized atrocities, to a far greater extent than any other citizens, or residents of this country.

We charge that: our language, culture and original heritage were [over time] methodically and deliberately destroyed.

Our names and geographical identity were systematically obliterated.

We are denied the legal right to shelter by discrimination, custom, overt de jure segregation, and subtle de facto segregation.

The Reparations Committee, is seeking relief in money damages for the victims of these injustices with which to begin a program of rehabilitation. It is, further, the desire of this Committee that every well-meaning and patriotic American, whatever his position in life, do his utmost by word as well as deed, to help this long overdue and just effort to erase the blot and stigma from the unfortunate past of America’s history – by public and official expiration for the wrongs heaped in multiplicity upon a large mass of [formerly enslaved] American Citizens whom have contributed so richly to America’s culture, welfare, and safety.

Poverty, The Result of Chattel Slavery

The contents of this booklet are addressed not only to our people in particular, whom are [the] victims of oppression, but also to the white people of the United States who need this great opportunity to cleanse themselves of wrongs done to our people by their cruel ancestors.

By way of preface there is little to say since the character of this work is embodied in this booklet, which is the fruit of untiring effort, research and investigation into the phenomenon of our special oppression. [From] which [certain] effects stem from the anti-social nature of the slave system in this country, with its reprehensible acts of barbarism, which violated all natural laws of human aspirations and justice. The atrocious deeds done to our ancestors by the legions of white fiends rise before us in new and irresistible horror. It is intended to meet the need of bringing to the people of this country a great principal of restitution by those of us who desire to raise our people from the degradation of national poverty resulting from the effects of chattel slavery, which has left us without [access to] national resources.

The fact that Reparations has not yet been included along with the integrationist leaders’ demands is because they underestimated the depth and the bitterness of our suffering and the intelligence of our people. In spite of our indomitable will to die for our rights like men and women on our feet rather than live on our knees. This was demonstrated by our unquenchable revolutionary fervor at the United Nations when the Honorable Patrice Lumumba of The Congo, Africa was murdered, and on the picket lines and demonstrations throughout this country. Where our people in their massive efforts to become citizens endured the foul onslaught of tear gas, fire hoses, police dogs, police brutality, and arrest to secure those rights denied us by the oppressive villains.

Without Reparations our people can never be on equal terms with the white sons [and daughters] of our former slavemasters who continue to reap the abundant benefits of the wealth created by our foreparents through their centuries of unrequited labor. The unpaid labor of African slaves [chattelized in America] laid the foundation for the accumulation of the wealth that ultimately made the U.S.A. the richest country in the world. During the period of slavery millions of our people died while being transported under conditions of indescribable horror while crossing the “middle passage.” Our roots and culture were

PAGE SIX

ruthlessly destroyed. We were deprived of human status, with families broken and fragmented and family ties eliminated, our women were raped and abused, our men were placed in chains. Bred like animals our children were taken from us and given over to owners and slavemasters to be sold on the auction block. Today our [Black] youth are taught false history, theories and principles to prevent race pride.

The Reparations Committee will present the evidence of the lawless vendors in human flesh in all its sickening and horrible details.

Through the signing of Emancipation Proclamation we were ostensibly granted freedom and full citizenship, [along] with the ensuing amendments to the Constitution – but these [citizenship rights] were then, and continue to be, withheld from us. Therefore, our suit demanding payment of a debt long overdue is justified. Although no amount of Reparations could adequately repay us for the cruelty we suffered. Still, there must be a recognition of the crimes committed against us and a just settlement before the issue can be considered closed.

The two major political parties of our oppressors (Democrats and Republicans) have consistently tried to keep this issue of slavery and Reparations hidden, but [the act of] suppressing it has caused one of the greatest socio-economic problems of this age. This [reparations] issue is clear. No civilized human society would contest, and no democratic state would neglect, or in this case shun its [ultimate] responsibility to adequately recompense those from whom such sacrifices were extracted. Besides our unrequited labor we have given genius to America – the genius of Benjamin Banneker, Harriet Tubman, Crispus Attucks, and Dorie Miller. African-Americans have given their very lives to preserve the American Dream, [of] which they have not [as yet] shared in.

The 100th year since the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation which was to free our people from chattel slavery, finds us suffering economic and political oppression in the U.S.A. Therefore, the question of the continued subjugation of an entire people, landless and disenfranchised, deprived of equal status with the rest of the general populace, deprived of recognition of our contribution to the culture and enrichment of the [United States] economy – remains.

PAGE SEVEN

Therefore, considering our present intolerable status here [in the United States] – the future, if there is to be one, rests on the solution presented. The demand for Reparations must become the first goal of every African American.

History substantiates the justness of our claim. However, of all the people who have received Reparations for wrongs committed against them, none of their claims are as historically or morally compelling as the demand for Reparations for the descendants of American Slaves.

In view of the foregoing, we the descendants of those Africans, uprooted from our [original] homeland, transported to this alien land, and once here – forcibly made to labor without pay for centuries, through the sponsorship of the U.S.A. – do hereby set forth the following claims and demands, as embodied herein.

Claim for Reparations Filed

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, which became effective January 1, 1863, The Reparations Committee for United States Slaves Descendants Inc., a non-profit corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of California, filed a claim for Reparations and money damages with the United States Government on December 20, 1962 – for more than 25 million American [slave descendant] Citizens.

Members of the Black Race.

THE FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION as filed, sets forth, and proceeds, and sues on behalf of and for the benefit of a class consisting of approximately 25 million Americans of African descent, whose antecedents and ancestors before them, until 1863, were held in cruel and inhuman slavery. The claimants [justifiably] ask for Reparations in the form of money damages, for the loss of their ancestors’ fair share of property which accrued by reason of their skills and labors to the use and benefit of those persons, citizens of the United States of America, whom as a class, called themselves “slaveowners,” and who did, with the sanction, approval and protection of the United States Government, became unjustly enriched by the use of such forced human labor.

PAGE EIGHT

THE SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION calls attention to “THE UNJUST ENRICHMENT of and to said ‘OWNERS’ by such wrongful claims of the ownership of human beings as property, and by the wrongful use of such forced human labor, which continued for a period of more than two hundred years, until 1863. Those of the class for whose benefit complaint sues herein, and by such wrongful taking without their consent.”

THE THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION calls attention to the fact that the United States of America and all free nations and societies, whereby [white] individuals enjoy property ownership and its attendant benefits, such as inheritance and descent. The descendants of America’s slaves were denied this right.

This brilliantly prepared Claim calls attention to the fact that Slaves and their descendants have contributed to the wealth of the United States and at the same time remained impoverished economically, weakened culturally, and demeaned socially. Referring to the fact that the United States is a signatory to the International Organization of the United Nations, whose charter and conventions prohibit the cruel and oppressive treatment of any racial or ethnic group. The Claim sets forth that various states within the domain and under the central power control of the United States Government, since the Emancipation Proclamation, have violated and continue to violate the express provisions of the Federal Constitution and supreme laws of the land including the charter of the United Nations which is otherwise known and recognized as the crime of “GENOCIDE.”

Under the provisions of the aforementioned Constitution of the United States of America, the Claim states, as explicitly enunciated by the Supreme Court of the United States of America in its now legendary school desegregation decision, and in subsequent decisions, unqualified recognition is accorded to the constitutional guarantees and limitations concerning Human Rights.

Article XI Offers Precedents. It states:

“Strong and compelling as may be the merits of this Claim for Reparations on its face alone, it is not without apt precedents in the field of law of nations. Particular references here are made in regards to the payment of Reparations by West Germany, under a Treaty

PAGE NINE

signed in 1952, to the new nation of Israel and, quite significantly, to a separate private body known as the ‘Conference of Jewish Organizations on behalf of Jews.’ Details will be developed subsequently in legal proceedings.” Other and similar precedents on Reparation payments by the United States Government are as follows:

The Definition of Reparations:

• Amends or compensation for loss or damage.
• The action of repairing or keeping in a repaired state – Webster’s Dictionary.

The Precedents:

A. Germany paid reparations to the allies under the [1919] Versailles Treaty of World War I. Germany was considered the aggressor nation [in this case].

B. Finland paid [substantial] reparations to Russia – Concluding its last payment on September 18, 1944.

C. United States paid and continues to pay reparations to American Indians, for the denial of citizenship rights and the loss of personal property. And, at the end of almost five centuries, the United States is still negotiating with American Indians regarding the payment for the recent seizure of property to the tune of 29 million dollars.

D. United States paid reparations to the Philippines in September, 1962 – for damages to that country and the use of that nation during World War I.

E. United States paid reparations to Japanese Americans – for the denial of rights, the seizure of property, and confinement in concentration camps during World War II. Reparations were paid to individual Nisei and was deemed tax free (see note below).

F. Germany, under a Treaty signed in 1952 – paid reparations to the Jews and to Israel.

Examples:

Finland Reference: World Today – Page 307 – July, 1952. The Finland Treaty was signed on February, 1947.

PAGE TEN

On September 18, 1944 Finland paid its last installment on Reparations resulting from the Russo-Finnish Armistice of 1944 and an amendment to the agreement of December, 1944-45 – in the amount of 300 million dollars:

R. F. Harrod – said in an article on German Reparations: “…we lack experience of what civilized white men will do under the lash. Well now we have some experience, and it may be an edifying story.”

German Reparations to Israel: The 1952 Treaty and its effects.

German Reparations to Israel Reference: International World Today – Vol. 10 – June, 1954 – Page 258.

Relative to members of the Black Race who boast of one white parent, and wish to identify themselves with that parent rather than identify themselves with the Black Race, the Committee follows the custom [as] established by the United States Government and rules, ” …an individual with one drop of ‘Negro’ blood in his or her veins is considered a Negro.” However, the Committee declares that those individuals who do not wish to share in the just and fair Reparations, are not obligated to do so. They are however, obligated not to join the enemies [whites and Negro reparations oppositionists] of the American citizens of African descent to campaign against the payment of Reparations.

The Committee views seriously the fact that the United States Government gives, [that which is] extracted from all citizens including American citizens of African descent, and without our consent, billions of dollars to India to fight China, spends more than one million dollars daily in Laos, and sends millions to South Vietnam.

Under our present law the Internal Revenue Service each year makes a large cash contribution to Israel’s welfare, despite the fact that Israel is a sovereign state. Furthermore, more than 200 million dollars was spent to rescue the “Pigs” from Cuba, captured during the ill-fated mission of aggression on a sovereign nation by refugees stationed in this country. Also, Americans of African descent are asked to pay taxes equally with [white] others to provide “foreign aid” to Communist Poland, Communist Hungary, and Yugoslavia.

And England, France, Canada, and other countries whose citizens, if they wish – may become first-class citizens of this nation and [will] discriminate against African-Americans, whom are [de facto] treated as step-citizens.

PAGE ELEVEN

In view of the foregoing, it is the studied opinion of The Reparations Committee, that there can be no argument against the just Claim for Reparations for the American Citizens of African descent. The Reparations payment will be used to rehabilitate and elevate [out of] the national poverty which the American citizens of African descent suffer as a result of chattel slavery.

Preferential Treatment . . . YES

The Reparations Committee takes the position that the descendants of American Slaves must be given preferential treatment – NOW – with immediate hiring on a quota basis in every level of our industry, implemented with an intensified on the job training program. The program must be instituted and financed by the Federal Government – NOW.

It is the contention of the Reparations Committee that the descendants of American Slaves are entitled to 13.1 percent of all jobs in America. The job quota therefore, is the first step toward repairing the damages inflicted upon the slaves and their descendants, commonly known as Negroes.

Preferential treatment and hiring on a job quota basis will further serve to balance the mal-treatment of which the Negro has been a victim in this country for over 344 years.

The Negro Revolution of 1963 with its anti-climax, the March on Washington occurring August 28, 1963, resulted in little or no gains for the Negro masses. The Negro leaders’ demands are limited: Integration, and Freedom Now. The Reparations Committee argues that these are empty [non-productive] slogans, and that integration is possible only among equals.

It is the studied opinion of the Reparations Committee that the Negro masses are unable to compete with the white masses at present, because they have been deprived of equal status, denied equal education, denied economic and political opportunities. And, for a century, have lived on the outskirts of America’s society. Thus, the preferential treatment will raise the Negro to the academic, economic, and cultural level of the white citizens. Or, the government could, which would not be practicable – disenfranchise white citizens, deprive them of their citizenship rights, deprive them of education – or generally reduce them to the level of the Negro masses to equalize our citizenship. The Reparations Committee

PAGE TWELVE

believes this is not sound, that the Negro should be, via the preferential treatment option, given an on the job training program, being raised to the level of the white citizen – equalizing our citizenship, and preparing for an integrated society.

Unless steps are taken in this direction immediately – America cannot be classified as a civilized nation.

To those including – John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, who say they are opposed to preferential treatment and hiring of the Negro on a quota basis, obviously wish to maintain the Negro on status quo. Those who oppose quota hiring on the one hand and say they support the Civil Rights fight on the other, are double talking and actually wish to subvert the revolution and deny the payments for damages inflicted by the United States Government upon the descendants of American Slaves. The power structure, by refusing to agree to hire Negroes on a quota basis are refusing to admit their responsibility for the plight of the Negroes.

Without preferential treatment, the Negro will never be on equal terms with white America. The white American has a 344 year head start on the descendants of American slaves. They must, therefore, have special or preferential treatment to catch up.

History substantiates the African American’s Claim for cash payment of Reparations from the United States. Thus, the Reparations Committee calls upon African American leadership to make the demand for cash payments of Reparations, “THE BATTLE CRY FOR FREEDOM IN 1963,” which would include 25 million step-citizens in the American Dream.

Arthur Ward’s Commentary:

Thank You Great Ancestor!!!

Ahh… No wonder the Pannies have never taken pains to publish anything written by Queen Mother Moore. And I mean – Anything. Why? Because as we can see, her actual Reparations philosophy, her actual words are problematic to present-day Pan African reparations marketing. The Axis will consistently trot out the IMAGES of Queen Mother Moore and Callie House. This without lessons or depth. Nothing.

We understand that Callie House’s mission was regarding pensions for Freedmen. We know that Queen Mother Moore was a solid Pan African. Question: “What else do we know about her in contrast to the marketing expended to us by The Axis?” Well now that we can read her own thoughts in her own hand – let us see:

ONE – she thinks that Reparations eligibility should be limited to the descendants of the American Slaves – Of America. (Oops!) Not Pan African universalized to any Black person that just happens to fly in. Only to be inherited by the descendants of the people that were enslaved in the United States of America. Just to be clear in an unambiguous Foundational Black American / Freedmen / American Negro sense:

The cover of her pamphlet says: “MONEY FOR NEGROES.” – OK?

In contrast to the official NAARC/N’COBRA position (before a website revision):

“We strongly affirm the right of all people of African descent in the U.S. to receive reparations, irrespective of when they arrived here or their country of origin.”

“It would be the height of hypocrisy to limit reparations to only those who can prove a direct lineage as victims of the enslavement era. For these and other reasons we believe that any effort to restrict discussion of reparations to those who can trace a direct line to slavery is not only a misreading of history, but falls prey to a peculiar form of “Black nativism” that identifies more with the nation-state known as the United States of America, rather than to our commonality with the rest of the African World. NAARC firmly asserts that reparations should not be restricted to people of African descent who can prove their lineage to what is being termed ‘American’ enslavement.”

This is a 180 degree difference from Queen Mother isn’t it? Is Queen Mother Moore a hypocrite? Is Queen Mother wrong about lineage-based justice? Looks like we’ve been lied to by Pan African omission. That’s what it looks like to me. OK. I am still trying to figure out where Diasporans got an “affirmed right” to our Reparations?

Still looking.

Check This: The Axis emphatically states that immigrant Diasporans have some kind of “affirmed right” to our Reparations right off the rip. Notice the priority.

But when it comes to the question of eligibility for actual 1865 United States citizen-type Foundational Black Americans? Eligibility regarding our own Reparations? Listen Family: The Axis says our eligibility is something that needs to be discussed. Imagine that. (!?) The question of American Freedmen being eligible for their own Reparations hasn’t been figured out by these motherfuckers yet. Unbelievable. How long have they been at this? Maybe thirty-plus years? Really? Now Family: Understanding how some Pan African mental processes deploy – if some of them dangerously get installed on a Federal Reparations committee? Let’s say?

Foundational Black Americans may be declared ineligible!

Responding to the accusation of “Black Nativism?” I [me] accept the accusation. Foundational Black Americans have made a 400 plus year forced investment into the formation, culturization, capitalization, and direct physical building of this country. By 1860 we were already six generations invested in this land. We are no longer “Africans.” Even though the largest part of our genetic makeup is African.

But a contained ethnogenesis occurred Here that cannot be genetically reversed nor retro-culturized. Therefore, we do completely identify with the nation-state known as the United States of America. Yep. We built it. – We are inextricably PRESENT – enmeshed to and into and throughout this very soil. All 3,796,742 square miles of it. Right Here. Why wouldn’t we? Why shouldn’t we? We have to fully celebrate the same Black American Freedman Nativism our Frederick Douglass sustained after he himself – released himself – Him-Self from slavery. And Foundational Black Natives should practice Nativism. Understand? – In these United States, a justified Black Nativist culture don’t make us no CIA, FBI, nor a fucking COINTELPRO.

None of that shit.

Because, along with the Mayflower White Americans (those Caucasians whose antecedents arrived on this land between 1619 and 1865), WE – the Foundational Black Americans Right Here are THE ACTUAL CO-OWNERS of this Mother. OK?

We’ve earned the RIGHT more than anyone else to call this OUR COUNTRY. Even after 400 plus years of unrecompensed hard laboring, unjustified marginalization, wholesale asset subtraction, the most deprivatory policies, laws, codes, AND the worst treatment ever experienced by human beings in the history of civilization. That peculiar investment – along with being actively and tribalistically partitioned from citizenship (single or dual) in most African countries. The same stupidly tribalistic countries we were sold away from, locked out of, and disparaged in (!).

We have to do – what we have to do – and better do – Right Here In America.

“What else are we going to identify with?” Tell us that Dr. Ron Daniels. To what country(s) are we repatriating to? Whom is accepting us? Which ones? Show Me Sir. Why would we repatriate from something that we substantially helped to build? “Build then leave?” Really? Ahh… NO. We are going to identify with the same RED – WHITE – AND BLUE super-rich country that every Pan African we know still comfortably wipes his ass at – pisses on – and makes residence in.

Pan Africans still Here? Yep. They do a continuing American residency done with no repatriation plans whatsoever. “Ahh – no repatriation plans?” Right. And there are no repatriation plans being made because the Pan Africans are not stupid. True Pan Africans have no crazy repatriation plans whatsoever. No motherfucker. Pan Africans are NOT moving to Africa. And those that tell you they are repatriating are telling YOU a motherfucking lie. Please. When was the last time a Pan African spoke to you on ZOOM from the comfort of his home IN AFRICA? Pan Africans don’t have no motherfucking homes in Africa. None. No African wives in Africa.

Not even a goddamned dog.

When I visited Africa? Fourteen countries over time, in total. Everybody was cool. But! A majority of folks I spoke to wanted to move here or Europe. Why should any thinking person want to move to a place where the folks that already live there are trying to leave? And the folks that have already left are telling you don’t go. And 95% of the Pan Africans I know have never been to Africa. And 100% of the 5% that did visit – OK – for some reason haven’t chosen to move there. At least not yet. So when does “yet” happen Man? – That includes the infamous Dr. Umar Johnson.

So much for “repatriation.”

TWO – she believes that Reparations should be expended in the form of cash payments to individuals. Now, was this a Pan African saying “Cut The Check?”

Sounds like it to me.

In contrast to the official NAARC/N’COBRA position:

” . . . it is critical to recognize that direct benefits are insufficient to repair the underdevelopment and destruction of communities.”

” . . . we renew the call for a National Reparations Trust Authority to be the repository, custodian and administrative body to receive monetary and material resources, allocated by offending parties, as restitution to repair the damages inflicted on the sons and daughters of Africans in America during centuries of oppression and exploitation.” 

Do you remember hearing a “call” from anybody? Now, it’s possible that the original “call” has to be renewed because the first one wasn’t loud enough.

Could Be.

But those on the specificity side of the Reparations fence critically and correctly recognize that cash recompense is an essential and foremost part of any repair and rebuild program in a capitalist – asset oriented society. Does that make sense as an American? It’s just like MacArthur Foundation grants (that’s a form of direct cash benefits) are sufficient to support the political misinformation operations of The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis. Any non-governmental “authority” established to be a repository for YOUR MONEY is a guarantee that our very due Reparations will be compensation in name only. Don’t let this happen. It’s a recipe for theft.

THREE – Queen Mother Audley Moore believed that the payment of direct cash Reparations would be directly right, repairing, and empowering to the American Freedmen community. Never making a call to create an interposing commission to come between Foundational Black Americans to Ahh… “receive,” “manage,” and “administer” our Reparations money for a large operations cost. That cost being added to and grand theft compounded at the federal, state, and local levels. I call it “slickology.” The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis, along with their co-caballists from the Small Hat Community – does not want us to see a dime of our Reparations.

The “payouts” that you may see happening in Evanston, Illinois are really not “Reparations.” What you are witnessing is public relations and marketing through payouts. These are designed to deflect Reparational demand energies away from the Federal Government. Optics – to slowly wind-down the Federal Reparations movement and demand through diversion and distraction. Heads Up. Eyes Open.

Another Thing:

Pay attention to the African Union’s crooked plan to hijack our Reparations. OK? We don’t want be in this “Region Six” nonsense. Dr. Ron Daniels, Kamm Howard, and Robin Rue Simmons – we are checking this potential theft. And we reject this. The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis is directly involved with resourcing and setting up this anti-Freedmen bullshit. Family! Beware of any attempts to “Africanize” or “internationalize” this exceptionally domestic issue. It’s a grift-filled trickbag. Why would we allow the grandchildren of the same dirty motherfuckers that sold our antecedents into slavery, to run, or advise on, or do anything Reparational for us? You tell me how that makes any sense. How? Do we look THAT stupid?

It seems like Queen Mother Moore trusted the financial judgment and constructive abilities of Foundational Black Americans more than The Axis does. She is quite clear. And if the elders of NAARC and N’COBRA were mentored at the knee of the great and knowing Queen Mother Moore like they keep claiming ad nauseum – where did they get this weird “National Reparations Trust Authority” bullshit from? Who conceived this nonsense? That proposal seems so out of her character.

In contrast to the official NAARC/N’COBRA position:

“This Authority would be comprised of a cross-section of credible representatives of reparations, civil rights, human rights, labor, faith, education, civil and fraternal organizations and institutions. It would be empowered to establish subsidiary Trust Funds to administer projects and initiatives in the areas of culture, economic development, education, health and other fields as deemed appropriate based on the demands in the Reparations program.”

So, Ron Daniels had to tell us that proposed cross-section of representatives will be “credible?” That’s like you dealing financially with someone that has to tell you that they’re “honest.” Time to run. Notice that this “Authority” looks like a redo of the tired-assed, do-nothing NAACP. One of the standards that I apply to discern whether an individual is a sincere soldier operating in this Reparations space is if that person supports direct cash payments. If they don’t – they’re on some trick shit. Full Stop. (Cough) “Subsidiary Trust Funds?” – “Ahh… What’s That?”

Sounds like something that a pimp with an MBA would come up with. OK. “Other fields?” What “other fields” Sir? And then – what are the judgment parameters and the “whos and whoms” that will give the final – the binding word in this “deeming something appropriate?” What are the penalties if somebody fucks up? Where are the rules and limits? Who decides those? And to whom are they accountable to?

Here’s A Call: “This is our money Dr. Daniels – HANDS OFF!!!”

Now ask yourself a question. Give yourself an honest answer. Let’s say the first installment or action of a Reparations program is an immediate closing of the wealth gap. Would you prefer that beautiful, juicy, tax-exempt CHECK drawn on the United States Treasury in an estimated amount of say $450,000 or possibly more going to YOU – OR “The Reparations Trust Authority?” Run by Dr. Ron Daniels. And possibly felonious Pan Africans. And pimp preachers. Your Choice.

I thought so. . .

So does Queen Mother Moore’s view of Reparations distribution align with yours? Does it? The other little thing that bothers me about The Axis’ position that Queen Mother Moore doesn’t demand is the inclusion of preachers in an “Authority” to manage your money. OK? Absorb That Family – preachers managing your money.

Now – all of us are familiar with media reports of financial malfeasance and a plethora of sexual and other scandals, all committed by an unregulated and unsupervised clergy. Especially financial crimes. Right? Everyday. Those reports are common. So, Think Family: “The Axis” is gonna put real Black preachers into real contact with Not Millions. Not Billions. But Trillions of dollars of our money. Do we really want to do that? OK Now! All those “unregulated – spirit guided – unsupervised hands?” Really? Queen Mother Moore’s Reparational view is real simple: Just put the money directly into the hands of the eligible recipients.

That’s It.

In the 1980s, Queen Mother Moore joined forces with N’COBRA and began a campaign to educate the public about Reparations through town hall meetings and conferences. She also, at the time, supported Representative John Conyers’s 1989 bill, HR 40. But she never wavered from her position that the primary and most necessary part of a Reparations program is to expend cash payments to eligible individuals. That, meaning – Foundational Black American individuals.

That’s It – Again…

Family!!! Now that you have a little more ammunition to counter the bullshit emanating from The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis? Please Use It. This is profoundly damaging to Axis propaganda. They are not gonna talk about this. Even though this pamphlet is extremely rare – I’ll bet some of the old heads in the movement have at least one copy of this document in their personal libraries. They’ll talk about (!?) Queen Mother Moore. They won’t talk about this. But We Can. . .

A Note On Japanese Reparations: Most of us at this writing are only familiar with reparations paid to formerly interned Japanese Americans and their descendants via the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, which was signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. What she is referring to is the Japanese-American Claims Act of 1948. This allowed Japanese Americans to apply for compensation for property losses. By the time the Act was passed, the Internal Revenue Service had destroyed most of the internees 1939 – 1942 tax records. It was difficult for claimants to establish that their claims were valid. Under the Act – Japanese American families filed 26,568 claims totaling $148 million in requests. Only $37 million was approved and disbursed.

A Note On Executive Notification: A copy of this pamphlet was scheduled to be sent to the White House specifically for President John F. Kennedy. Unfortunately he was assassinated before his copy was shipped.

A Note On “Nationalist” Claims: Noun: A person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. That’s the dictionary definition.

Lately (2025) you will hear certain elders within the Pan African community eschewing the ideological identifier of “Pan African.” Strategically replacing it with “Nationalist.” Why So? At this time – the “Pan African” moniker and ideology is losing favor in the Foundational Black American community. It’s now bad optics.

We have Diasporans both domestic and foreign insulting and showing their asses to Foundational Black Americans. Diasporans in positions of political power and influential right-wing political commentary emphatically stating that we should not get Reparations. Well known Pan Africans disparage Freedmen efforts to delineate for reparational purposes and others, and that disparagement is chafing to the community. More and more Freedmen are peeping and deconstructing the destructive “local reparations” endeavors of The NAARC/N’COBRA Axis (they tout Pan Africanism as their guiding ideology). And certain celebrities that present as “Pan Africans” are proving to be unashamed grifters and frauds. Pan Africans are generally in full opposition to Foundational Black Americans and their goals.

People are realizing that Pan Africanism is a failed ideology. And they are asking questions as to why Africa is not Pan African. Which is a good question. There has never been any global Black unity. There isn’t any now. And there will not be ever. Extreme tribalism has destroyed Africa. Caribbeans beef with each other – to no end. The injection of Pan Africanism into Freedmen Reparations became a terrible interposing development. As far as the nationalist converted former Pan Africans are concerned: “I’d like to know to what nation are they attached to? And to what nation do they strongly identify with and support its interests? Does their found ‘Nationalism’ apply to the great nation called United States? Is ‘Nationalist’ just a placeholding beard for a continuing but strategically silent Pan African ideology?”

Don’t be fooled.

I was assisted in writing this post by a bottle of El Enemigo Malbec 2017. A good traditional Argentinian from the Mendoza Province. Inky – but medium-bodied. Dry. Leading in with dark fruits. A bold sustain of oak, vanilla, and chocolate. Ending with strong black cherries, plums, and blackberries. Beautiful structure. Smooth, complex tannins. Low to medium acidity. Long – sweet, clean finish.

John F. Kennedy

Below is a letter written by a “complete citizen.” A Freedmen descendant and Chicago resident that is a 78 year old Black soldier. First – let’s read her bio:

She was born into a military family in Leavenworth, Kansas in 1944 – then raised in Jackson, Mississippi by a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and a true Freedman village. It was in this community and environment that she received the foundation that gives her the courage and philosophy that she holds today.

Her first career interest was to become a lawyer. This interest developed after observing a brilliant presentation by the late Judge Constance Baker Motley, who represented James Meredith’s admission to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). However, after graduating from high school, she chose instead to pursue a career in education, and went on to receive a B.A. degree in education from Tougaloo College (an HBCU established in Jackson, Mississippi) and an M.A. degree in Guidance and Counseling from Jackson State University.

During her twenty-seven years in education, Ms. Lewis took on issues that affected Black children in particular, and Black people in general. She suffered twice being fired as a teacher in Mississippi because she sternly challenged the cruelty of white supremacy once schools were integrated by law in 1969. She left Mississippi in 1973 to accept a high school counseling position in Racine, Wisconsin. After spending two years in the predominantly white Wisconsin school system – she concluded that white children did not need her service and subsequently moved to Chicago.

Her first awareness of racism – white supremacy and the devastating effects that it has on Black people, was at the age of eleven when Emmett Till was murdered in Money, Mississippi in 1955. Her desire to challenge this evil system began at the age of fourteen when she joined the N.A.A.C.P. West Jackson Youth Council under the tutelage of Medgar Evers. Her first demonstration occurred in 1960 when her Youth Council members protested a white store owner in her community, who had kicked a pregnant Black woman out of the door of his store. She was also active in testing the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights Acts by riding the segregated transportation systems of Jackson, Mississippi, making sure the laws were upheld and enforced.

Her yearning for justice for her people had led her to fighting on all fronts: She became one of the founding members of the Committee to Free Mumia (unjustly imprisoned political activist and journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal). She unrelentingly advocated for the release of Aaron Patterson (falsely imprisoned for murder – later exonerated then gubernatorily pardoned) – which culminated into passing the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission. The creation of this commission came about as a direct response to the twenty-year period of Chicago Police torture of Black men under Commander Jon Burge. She was also a founding member of the Black Mobilization Committee Against the War in Iraq to educate our people about how money was being siphoned from our communities to support an unjust war in another part of the world. A former member of N’COBRA – she is now a proud Chicago Freedman advocating for Native Black American reparations.

With This – I am grateful to know her.

Now the Letter:

Alderman Jason Ervin,

What the hell are you talking about compromising? What are Mexican aldermen compromising on? Are the Asians compromising anything? What is this talk about giving up a Ward for Asians? Are they not part of the fifty Wards, in some way or another, that we all comprise here in Chicago already? Are they not citizens of one or another of our fifty Wards now? This talk is downright unintelligent and stupid.

The Asians, Mexicans, Arabs, and other immigrants are economically established throughout our [Black] communities. They are sucking out all of the money and resources that Black people should be getting from their community. So – what the hell are you talking about? I will answer that for you: “You don’t give a damn.” Researching your Ward, I have been able to determine that the businesses in your Ward are owned mostly by everyone but Black people. There is no indication that you have been assisting Black men and women to open more businesses in the 28th Ward. Now that you feel threatened about losing your position as alderman, you came up with this map at the last minute – hoping that Black people will support you. This kind of nonsense is what happens when Black politicians have no vision for their people. You and other Black aldermen should have been on top of this.

The Mexicans and other aldermen who speak Spanish are holding firm. I say “who speak Spanish” – because the definition of Hispanic is a person of Latin American descent. Especially those of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin living in the continental United States, and relating to the people, speech, or culture of Spain. Spain – a white European country, conquered what is now called Mexico and Puerto Rico, and these people identify themselves as white until it is advantageous for them to say they are a minority. What they have in common is the language.

However, historically speaking, Mexicans are descendants of the Aztecs, Olmecs, and the Mayans, who were Black. And Puerto Ricans are descendants of the Taino people whom are also of African ancestry. Some of them are ignorant of these facts, and some do know – but will not acknowledge it. Anthropologically, there are three classifications of humankind: Negroid, Caucasoid, and Mongoloid. Due to their own willful ignorance and emulated white supremacy mindsets, they don’t want to acknowledge their true Negroid ancestry. So – to hell with them!

What role do white aldermen play in this? Tell the white aldermen who speak Spanish or don’t speak the language to give away their Wards from under the white people they represent. Will they? No! They are not going to challenge other white people. All these damned immigrants come to this country and take on the attitudes of white people when it comes to us. They do it because we will not unify ethnically and politically like everybody else. This is about power! And they will run over us like an eighteen-wheeler truck if we don’t get ourselves together.

Why don’t you offer them Chinatown instead?

How dare you talk about compromising! Don’t you compromise on a damned thing! You stand on the shoulders of Black men and women who challenged the system so that we can be in the political arena that we are in today. Good or bad. You don’t have the knowledge or courage to make a decision of this magnitude that materially involves Black people, and a Black community. This is not just about one individual alderman. This is about power! This is about the Black community holding on to what WE have fought for. It is time for you Black aldermen to stop being individualistic in your thinking and approach to serving your people. The [Black] people elected you to serve them, and not just one person (yourself). Black people elected you to represent and execute the agenda of BLACK people. Not women, not minorities, not LGBTQ, not people of color, but BLACK people.

It is time for Black politicians to collectively say to everybody else in America that you are benefitting from the struggle of Black people. The Mexicans and others are at this juncture in politics in Chicago because of Black politicians. Especially our distinguished Brother Harold Washington (first Black Mayor of Chicago). Had it not been for him and our fight for an equitable political, educational, and economic justice for all, those Mexicans and Puerto Ricans would not today be where they are politically. And they [Hispanics] don’t have the human and political decency to acknowledge the significant role our Black community has contributed to their rise.

So now they have the audacity to make demands of us?

Having expressed an analysis of where we are, it is time for Black politicians to unite and engage the Black community to protect the gains and interests of our people. Not the interests of one individual alderman, and not the interests of other groups. We must speak with one voice and say to everyone who continues to disrespect and deliberately deny what we have given to the world and made it what it is today. We must send a message to them that we will fight them like a rattlesnake if they try to rob us today like their white racist ancestors did in the past. And that includes everybody, even the Africans and Caribbeans who come to this country and join the white supremacists against American BLACK people.

We must remind them [Black politicians] that many of these people are not legal citizens of the United States. And should have no political say regarding us.

Lastly, with the exception of maybe one or two, Black aldermen who are members of the Chicago City Council are not worth supporting or fighting for. Too many of you Black politicians have sided with the white power structure to the detriment of the Black community. The majority of you allowed [former Chicago Mayor] Rahm Emanuel to close almost a hundred schools in the Black community. And that led to the exodus of many Black families out of Chicago. The majority of you have been silent about the lack of economic and educational equity for our people.

You have allowed Arabs, East Indians, and Asians to detrimentally bombard our communities economically – and they will not hire our young people. People who take the money out and give not one dime back. We cannot ever set up businesses in their communities! You support Chicago being a Sanctuary City for Hispanics while your own American citizen Black people are sleeping under viaducts and in parks. This is what you Black aldermen of the Chicago City Council have done.

But as previously stated, it is not about any one individual – it is about the Black community holding on to what we have fought for by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. The Black community must wake up and organize to stop this carnage against us!

Doris Lewis

Black Citizenship in spirit and action. Why can’t all our elders roll like this?

I was assisted in writing this post by a bottle of Dolum Estates Cask 28 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018. A Stags Leap District – Napa Valley extroadinarist. Dry and very drinkable. Leading with strawberry preserves, smoky wood, and minerals. A quiet sustain of oak, chocolate, and cigar. Ending decisively in blackberries and ripe plums. Opulent body. Moderate acidity. High tannins. Medium finish.

“Falsehood flies, and and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.”

Jonathan Swift

Let us start with the CARICOM Platform: “The CARICOM Reparations Commission is a regional body created to Establish the moral, ethical, and legal case for the payment of Reparations by the Governments of all the former colonial powers and the relevant institutions of those countries, to the nations and people of the Caribbean Community for the Crimes against Humanity of Native Genocide, the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and a racialized system of chattel Slavery.”

CARICOM does not in any way allow us in their shit.

Damn Family. Can we have and/or do anything regarding us, with us, for us, about us, or due to us, without white, Hispanic, Asian, or Black alien inputs? Straight Question without adieu: “Why are Green Carders, non-eligible citizen descendants of immigrants, recently naturalized immigrants, and motherfuckers that are solid citizens of other countries that only visit here – having more say and influence over American Freedmen reparations than American Freedmen do?” Folks Like:

• NAARC Commissioner – Adjo Amouzou (Born in Togo – Africa)
• NAARC Commissioner – Lionel Jean Baptiste (Born in Haiti – Caribbean)
• NAARC Commissioner – Yvette Modestin (Born in Panama – Central America)
• NAARC Administrator – Don Rojas (Born in Saint Vincent – Caribbean)

And NAARC is not the only set-up with individuals possessing names that make you unsure of their provenance. The N’COBRA list goes like:

• Kalonji Olusegun
• Hannibal Tirus Afrik
• Jahahara Alkebulan-Ma’at
• Ari Merettazon
• Jumoke Ifetayo
• Adjoa Aiyetoro
• Johnita Scott-Obadele
• Dorothy Aurevoche
• Kibibi Tyehimba
• Njere Alghanee

No wonder HR40 is fucked up. It’s a Pan African bill. That’s why it needs the Darity edits. To stop the bullshit. Now – look at the N’COBRA list. Are any of these people American-born Black Americans? Or Not? Sounds like somebody needs to do some sorting-out and making things Clear to motherfuckers. American Slavery Lineage – Or Not? Can’t tell by the names. But every one of those folks on both lists are shaping reparations policy in meetings that readily recognizable – ordinarily named Jones and Robinson-ed American Freedmen are locked out of.

We need to ask NAARC:

“How a possibly Green Carded, drum-beating, Togolesian interloper like Adjo Amouzou has more say in our reparations than we do?”

Is that a good question?

And Lionel Jean Baptiste – who is a judge for the Ninth Subcircuit of the Cook County Judicial Circuit Court of Illinois. So What! How in the fuck does he have anything to say – about this? He’s Haitian! Last I checked – Haitians are from Haiti. Right? Not America. He is also a past – past president of the Haitian American Lawyers Association of Illinois. Haitian American Lawyers. You Know?

Ahh… For Haitians only. But he’s consequential in our space as well? Did he bring any coconuts? I don’t understand how a Haitian from Haiti even thinks that he has one fucking word to say into, over, or about this issue. Do WE have a say in Haitian affairs? I don’t remember ANY Haitian EVER asking us shit – about THEIR shit.

Do you?

Remember Family: No Native Black Americans. No American Freedmen. No American descendants of chattel slavery are on the commissions of CARICOM or any other reparations entities representing the justice claims of other groups anywhere in the world. None. Nowhere. And Family – sharply remember that ALL commissioners and administrators belonging to NAARC have a hand in shaping OUR reparations policy. I repeat: “All of them.” And some of the individuals listed above in a properly constructed American reparations program – that are now shaping OUR program would not be eligible(!). So why and how are those foreign born – very ineligible people all the way up in our reparations business?

Black immigrants may be at each other’s throats in other political areas – but they are unified and On Code when it comes to controlling our reparations.

Again – not eligible. Whatever they do in Togo – have you ever heard of any Native Black American running, shaping, deciding, or influencing anything in Togo or any other African or Caribbean country? But a fucking Togolesian can boat, fly, or swim in, and shape OUR reparations? Without our permission? WOW! That’s some mind boggling shit. All of the people on the above lists can sit in the very same meetings regarding reparations that NAARC and N’COBRA will lock you and me out of. Sir Hilary Beckles (Chairman of CARICOM) and his entourage, inappropriately took up seats at the first HR40 House Judiciary Hearing held on June 13, 2019.

Those seats should have gone to American Freedmen.

Family – no motherfuckers from other countries should have more influence over our affairs than we do. OK? Diasporans in other countries would never allow American Freedmen into their domestic affairs like this. None of them – and that includes CARICOM. Think about that shit. Motherfuckers from Togo, Panama, Saint Vincent, and Haiti are able to lock us American Freedmen out of meetings that are regarding reparations for American Freedmen? Facts. If any American Freedman even THOUGHT about doing some shit like that in a Caribbean or African country? Man. Everybody reading this post KNOWS they would get FUCKED UP. Meaning fined, politically detained, imprisoned, tortured, maimed, or executed. They know how to acquaint a motherfucker with a machete.

They don’t play that kind of shit in those places.

We shouldn’t either. Let’s learn how to handle political interlopers from THEM.

Family – it is time to directly address NAARC and N’COBRA. The same folks that have a provision in HR40 to literally carry out reparations deliberations in secret. No reporting to us. With Green Carded Niggers from other countries deciding on our money. Our shit. The NAARC – N’COBRA Axis has literally invited the Diaspora to ride our naked Foundational Black American backs and greedily collect on our grandparents pain, deprivation, and dehumanization – flying in with griftitious “knowledge” and “expertise,” after the police dogs and Jim Crow smoke have cleared. A bunch of intrusive – inappropriate, motherfuckers…

Family. It is good to form cause-based coalitions and associations. But NAARC and N’COBRA have so many strategic white, Hispanic, and Asian contributors to their organizations that they are slowly universalizing our justice claim to everyone. And fuck us. Do those contributions have “Brown” agendas attached to the checks? Yes. Everyone needs to pay their good attention to NAARC and N’COBRA’s fluid reparations politics. Otherwise – the Mexicans will be getting our reparations.

From the NAARC website:

“America owes an historical debt to Black and Brown people, and reparations means repaying that debt…”

“Black and Brown?” What happened? I thought this was the “National African-American Reparations Commission.” Right? Maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped some of that “Brown” money over there. Who Knows? There’s a lot of things that could influence a man’s mind. Especially the mind of Dr. Ron Daniels.

You Know?

Check this shit Family: If Black immigrants have a racial abuse claim against the United States – they have the right to handle that shit. But American Freedmen should not – do not – and will not work for them. OK? And all of the visiting, green carded, naturalized, or first-generation inborn aliens made light of in this post – definitely do not work for us. All of the motherfuckers listed in this article need to get up and off our reparations shit. And that includes Jamaican descended inborn alien – The Honorable Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Yep – her ass too. And remember – this is the same Democratic Party Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee that turns her behind up at – and ignores her local Black Reparationist constituents.

Slavery-lineaged Black Americans – those welcoming, accommodating, American Freedmen, have never exercised xenophobia or nativism. Especially towards those within and from the Diaspora. Black people. But Family – there are instances where the applications of xenophobia and nativism are appropriate, intelligent, and just. No – lets go further: The conscious and intelligent cultivation of xenophobia and American Freedman nativism is at this time necessary for our survival bodily, politically, and otherwise. Understand – this is a pressing necessity Family. Especially when aliens of any ilk are going deep into certain business where they don’t belong – and attempting to criminally redirect a 400 years due inheritance.

At this point – certain officials of CARICOM have become so entitled that some of them on public platforms will deign to “instruct” at and “insist” (finger pointing) to American Freedmen on what they think IS ENTITLED to Caribbeans. OK?

Watch This:

Verene A. Shepherd, whom is a Social Historian (!?) AND – check this: A fucking Vice Chairman of the CARICOM Reparations Commission. She actually said this arrogant shit (with a Jamaican/British accent) on a recent YouTube post:

“The impression down here [in the Caribbean] is that Caribbean people who live in the United States – Black People would not be entitled to any reparations paid by the United States Government. What we are saying is that’s not right – we are saying that’s divisive of the Black population in the United States. We are saying that Caribbean immigrants have been harmed by that system through racial profiling and discrimination [and therefore should be entitled to reparations]…”

Like We [American Freedmen] answer – To Her (boy – watch your blood pressure).

Now – you can’t say that Caribbean people did not get the correct impression.

“Divisive?” Damned Right It Is Sweetheart…

The majority of American Freedmen feel that Caribbean folks that live in the United States would not – and should not be entitled to any reparations paid by the United States Government. Why? Because that makes sense to common thinking people that are not stupid. Yep. For example: Jewish people that have been harmed by anti-Semitism – but were not direct victims of, nor are descendants of victims of the Holocaust – are not – and should not be entitled to Holocaust Reparations. And they ARE NOT. Ask any astute Jewish person. Valid complaints of discrimination and profiling are what courts are for. Lots of Caribbean immigrants are lawyers – go ahead and file!!! We also have some Caribbean immigrants and first generation folks that are legislators at all levels of government. Ya’ll got skills – Right?

Craft and Present your own Bill: Call it “HR-Coconut.” I don’t know…

Being harmed by profiling and other forms of discrimination are separate issues that have nothing to do with our reparations claim. OK? That would be between Caribbean immigrants and the Government. Not us. And not with us. With all of the well-educated, well-compensated, and well-accomplished people that reside in the Caribbean immigrant community – if that community truly found this to be pressing, they would seriously pursue this as a separate issue themselves. Not to be conflated or joined in any way with our stuff. And not needing our help.

I suggest they have at it.

We’ve already been moved aside by immigrants in all kinds of major ways. The first “Black” president is a first-generation Kenyan. The first “Black” attorney general is a first-generation Barbadian. The first “Black” vice president is a first-generation Jamaican. Peter Braithwaite, an Alderman in Evanston Illinois – a Jamaican – (as of this writing) runs the reparations program there. The lead congressional sponsor of HR40 is a first-generation Jamaican. Moved Aside. Etcetera.

We fight – They sit. We advocate – They eat.

We are not going to be moved aside this time.

The NAARC – N’COBRA Axis should potentially be found guilty of Reparations Conspiracy and Theft. And CARICOM could potentially be looked upon as an international fence for American Freedmen Reparations Resources. Guilty…

Now Family – Africans and Caribbeans have always told us American Freedmen how much better they are than us. This is their chance to prove it. They need to handle their business – and get the fuck up and out of ours. Point Blank.

We must seize ownership of this reparations issue from Dr. Ron Daniels (NAARC). This is not his personal property. He strongly considers it to be his – but this issue belongs TO YOU. And strong political participation along with the narrowing and exclusivication of our issues is a necessary survival mechanism. I hope you understand this right now Family. Our survival as a people depends on it. Improperly practiced Pan Africanism is a resource-threatening fantasy:

For us – As it is – Pan Africanism Equals Death. From this point on – Black immigrants must hold their own nuts.

Oh – and another thing: Never trust any Black-run organization that accepts a MacArthur Foundation grant. This is “controlled opposition” money. There is such a thing as “good money” and “bad money” Family. Especially when it comes to this reparations space. Would you allow your child to accept money from a known pedophile? No? Ya Sure? OK. Beware family – Beware…

I Think It Does Though

I was assisted in writing this post by a bottle of Penfolds RWT Bin 798 Shiraz 2017. A Barossa Shiraz from Australia. $150 a hit. But this shit here is definitely ass-kicking. Blackberries, plums, blueberries, dark cherries. Rich background of oak, vanilla, and chocolate. Balanced tannins. Fine mouthfeel. Sweet finish.

John F. Kennedy

This is one small example.

The whole of a mechanical watch. You know – Rolex, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, etc. These watches cannot operate without their regulated pulse. A cooperative – coordinated, locked-in, ticking pace, intricately composed of between 130 to 1700 tiny, tiny, parts. Smoothly and synchronously linked. Functioning. This distant aggregation variance – necessarily depending upon the kind of and multi-purposed complexity of the particular watch.

Understand?

Racism-White Supremacy’s parts intricately function as the overt and covert operationality of accrued disadvantage. And that requires the conscious – proactive small and large actions of white individuals. In white-controlled institutions. Circumscribing Policies, Negro-targeted Laws, and opportunistically coded Ordinances enacted and applicated by white-powered governments. And those individual points of micro and macro racist proactivity producing the overall and never-ending storm of racism-white supremacy that we Native Black Americans experience every second of every day. A dark Imprisonment within Emancipation. The small ticking mechanisms of pure disadvantage quietly working together.

Working in the past Then – and the racist arc bends solidly into the present Now.

This is as the letter below gives evidence.

A researcher doing his due diligence in the course of writing a book found this letter at the “Briscoe Center’s Chancellor’s Office Records (University Of Texas)” – Box 85, Folder “Desegregation 09/01/1960 – 08/31/1962.” This Exists. The Louisiana State University (a Black and white taxpayer supported entity) president wrote this letter to the chancellor of The University Of Texas. Take note of the date: 10/27/1961. Past the middle of the Twentieth Century. OK? Not 1861. Not ancient history.

This letter is an example of coldblooded “Official Institutional Racism.” I can understand why millions of good white people Do Not want ANYBODY – not just schoolchildren. NOT paying any real attention to “Critical Race Theory” stuff. Why would white people want their children to be taught how fucked-up they are?

Hell No…

Read This Shit Family:

October 27, 1961

Office Of The President

Dear Harry:

I have your inquiry of October 25th pertaining to integration on the L.S.U. campus.

Though we did not like it, we accepted Negroes as students; therefore, they are permitted to occupy rooms in dormitories and take their meals in University dining halls. We have had a limited number occupy rooms. At no time has a Negro occupied a room with a white student. We keep them in a given area and do not permit indiscriminate occupancy. Thus far we have had no problems.

Our Negro students have made no attempt to attend social functions, participate in athletic contests, go in the swimming pool, etc. If they did, we would, for example, discontinue the operation of the swimming pool.

Since we have not had a Negro request that he be permitted to participate in athletics, we, of course, have not had to make a decision. If one should apply between now and February 1, 1962 (date for my retirement), I think I could find a good excuse why he would not participate. To be specific — L.S.U. does not favor whites and Negroes participating together on athletic teams.

Best Wishes

Nice letter. Right Fam? This hot piece was written by a motherfucker named Troy H. Middleton – President of L.S.U. at the time. I sometimes wonder what goes through the minds of white people that have no particular racial animus when they read material like this. This letter represents a small example of how one cog within the racism-white supremacy machine operates. There it is. Millions of other cogs exactly like it. Everywhere. White. Unrelated. Unacquainted. On Code.

Grinding and shifting in unity – thousands of times per day overall on group-wise deprivation. Grinding to a point anectdotally on individual-wise hurt. Trillions of documented and undocumented white-entitlement-based microaggressions done every hour. Giving Native Black Americans that uber-distressive white-work.

Race? History? Right? Can a correction be made?

This kind of greasy, calculated, callousness normally dispensed by whites towards Black Americans and sometimes others – is just so normal to American normalcy.

Proximity to whiteness equals death. History of the United States.

If “systemic racism” does exist. If It Does Exist? Well – it does exist. Think about this Family. Racism’s unseen disparate elements would certainly plan, connect, and deploy like the example here. Right? The white-codified aim and end always is to control or destroy the lives of non-white human beings. Especially Blacks.

In parallel existence – you got many people out here that don’t want any critical examination or discussion of this. There needs to be a serious challenge regarding American approaches to accomplishing racial justice. With serious examining to seriously eliminate racial injustice. To actually consummate – not just to sell books. Critical Race Theory may be a path to accomplishing that positive end. Now.

Abidingly – racism-white supremacy remains steadfastly On Code.

I do not think this study should occupy space in elementary or junior high schools. Too many of our children don’t even have the basics down. Basics. You know – like reading, writing, and arithmetic. They need to spend a little more time there. There. I do believe this should be an elective in high school and college though. And adult individuals should take up their own study of this – on their own.

Critical Race Theory in its best forms – inform us of the naked racial truth of the history of this country. To some white folks “racism” materially equals an honest, unvarnished telling of history. Certain retellings told correctly might make certain people look bad. Some folks think that CRT might make Black children “hate white people.” OH NO. Can’t have that. But – Critical Race Theory may assist some Black people into a workable understanding as to WHY they may hate white people.

Because some of us do. We just don’t talk about it. Got Children to feed.

I could see CRT actually saving some white people. A “why” understanding may prevent certain Black people from doing racially-motivated retaliatory outbursts like a Colin Ferguson (the 1993 Long Island Rail shooting – look it up). It is possible he could have benefitted from CRT and refrained. Took a breath. You Know?

OR – maybe not. Recollections are a Bitch…

The best means to teach a Black person to hate white people is to just have that person interact with them on a daily basis. That’s it. No classes are needed. “Karens” and white policemen are particularly good at this kind of instruction. Members of the alt-Right can teach Black folks a thing or two. Take a listen. A quiet reading of cold unmanipulated American History. Absorbing That Reality as it is. Then confirming That History with Daily Black experience will do it too. Yep. Black hate towards whites cannot be pedagogically taught or manufactured. Maybe CRT will help us to understand what makes a “Karen” behave the way she does. And our dear white conservatives are tired of racial grievance.

Because they don’t wanna do shit about it.

Thinking through this is better than shots being fired. Talking through this may help some people both white and Black to de-internalize white supremacy. But talking must lead to solution. That solution must be actionable. The action decided on must be decisively completed. Racism-white supremacy itself is THE existential threat to the United States. It consistently ruins our global competitiveness and relations. It keeps us internally divided and limited. We will end-up behind India and China in economics and diplomacy – IF we do not get an in-the-truth handle on this understanding. If Native Black Americans are destroyed – the United States itself will be destroyed. Bet That. The Law of Reaping and Sowing is very real and relentless. White People. The Law does not pick and choose – it just Does.

It could be to some people that preserving this racial caste system and the white lies associated with it are more important than our prosperity and competitiveness. Maybe even more important than our continued existence as a country.

This CRITICAL RACE discussion needs to be truthfully had. But Can We?

What are your thoughts on Critical Race Theory?

I was assisted in writing this post by a bottle of Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon (815) 2017. A solid California Cabernet. Balanced. Cherry, cocoa, tobacco, plums, pepper. Moderate tannins. Smoky nose. Vanilla background. Peppery finish.

Thoughts after watching a flowing melange of several videos regarding Kamala Harris, immigrant reparations oppositionists, and the 2020 election on YouTube.

Thoughts to keep in. Thoughts to act on.

Akatas

Walking down an end-of-summer Chicago street. Downtown. You see a lively group of happy, well-dressed brothers coming towards you in the opposite direction. You give an acknowledging nod. They flash at you unanimously with a dry, silent countenance. They turn back in returning smiles towards each other to continue their discussion in an indiscernible African patois. There – the normally and continued American soil discourse between the Diaspora and the Natives.

Pan Africanism? Repatriation? OK.

Every day. African and Caribbean immigrants can barely give American Descendants Of Slavery a passing “good morning” in daytime spaces. And. Can disparage us between themselves all night. Then. Can call us “Akata” twenty-four seven on social media. Okay. But somehow, these same folks arrogantly feel they should emerge from their sweet white neighborhoods, and inappropriately insert themselves into OUR reparations issue with OUR government.

Who They???

You know – they are those phenotypically fraudulent, tribalistic butter-biscuiters that authoritatively coon in eloquent two-face. Armed with the expert guidance of their white handlers, they will open their totally-out-of-line intentions. To tell our government and the public, through guided talking points. Via national media and political forums. What THEY think should be done about ADOS. I do patiently listen to all kinds of injudicious flagrancies regarding ADOS folks just flowing from their unembarrassed Black mouths. Amazing to hear and process.

We are never part of, nor are ever asked to be, included in anyone else’s discussions, contentions, organizations, or institutions. Never. Especially those discussions and organizations belonging to immigrant Africans and Caribbeans. They don’t even break bread with us. They MAY do it in Africa. Depends. With the exception of our Diasporan allies – generally, they don’t do it here. And have no reason to. The Pan-Africanists don’t seem to have figured that out yet.

Did I hear someone say “Akata?” OK. I don’t care what the carefully curated etymology of the word “Akata” is. As explained by well-educated West African immigrant apologists over media platforms. And as explained by Pan-Africans who have a tendency to “blackwash” (my word) African history and culture. The actual “on-the-street.” Everyday. “Just-between-us-Africans” usage of “Akata” IS a synonym for “Nigger.” Universally applied as a descriptor BY THEM, in that way – towards Foundational Black Americans. Everywhere. Remember that folks.

Watch out for other “Akata” type words like “Cocolo” and “Morenito” expended by other motherfuckers in the African Diaspora towards us as well Family.

HEY! My African Brothers and Sisters! Why is it nearly impossible for most Foundational Black American folks; The “Akatas.” To gain dual citizenship in nearly all West African countries? Intentional policies by African governments? No “Right Of Return” Anywhere? No? Somewhere? No? Any good explanations?

Guess we could talk about that later?

But when we do talk – we could start off with what the

• Yorubas
• the Kongos
• the Akans
• the Mbundus
• the Ashantes
• the Fons

and the Igbos owe to Foundational Black American people. Since our enslavement and sale was the main source of foreign exchange at one time for these tribes and kingdoms – along with others not mentioned here. And the wealth that was created through that exchange, is still residing, and popping, and exponentializing within the present net worths of quite a few of the descendants of the original enslaving African elites and merchants. Those descendants are now the West African private jet class. In the United States. Money? They just flying. And got plenty of gas.

Just Saying.

Asides And Beer

Now, putting asides, aside. At the rate the Black media heads, Black politicians, civil rights luncheoneers, paid pastors, NAARC, N’COBRA, tricky white liberals, and the Black intelligentsia are going. Reparations, if left in their hands only, once done, will be boiled down to a handshake and a beer. Coffee Please…

Kamala Harris

Senator Harris? Well, I guess I should be grateful that the other former presidential candidates are not as deep-throated and sincere regarding an intent to keep us Black people in the nasty and continuously deprived state we’re in. Watching with full interest online. As Her Greasiness – that Jamaican-Indian person, also known as Senator Kamala Harris is. Quote: “SO – I’m not gonna sit here and say I’m gonna do something that’s only gonna benefit Black people. NO!!!” Unquote. Really Sweetheart? WOW. The Counterfeit Negress has spoken. At least she told HER truth (as the ladies say). You can’t say she didn’t let us niggers know. Right?

The others have certainly let us know:

Bernie Sanders: “NO!!!”

Elizabeth Warren: “A check for WHAT?!”

Cory Booker: “Baby Bonds!!!”

I say “Counterfeit Negress” because Ms. Harris – Ahh… She walks in one room, she’s Black. Then she goes to another room, she’s Indian. She goes into another room, she’s Black again. All the while signalling white. Flash. Her husband. This lady is hard to keep up with. ADOS is not worth talking to. But her campaign says Cardi B(!) is worth talking to? Okay. Maybe she needs some tips. Cardi B would be the right one to call. Right? Kamala upholds “Black Girl Magic” – but appoints an Indian-American to press secretary and a Sri Lankan as a senior advisor.

Where’s the “Magic” ladies?

The Sisters are being played.

Then. The educated butter-biscuiters are afraid to demand from the government, the astronomically correct amount of money, assets, and considerations that is definitively owed to us. Why? In their minds (it seems), the laws, policies, affirming arguments, and practices of inheritance – which white people damn near die over to protect and implement are good enough for only white people to access. But not appropriate enough for us to do the same? Senator Harris agrees with this.

For some reason, the equal application of inheritance principles and policies in their entirety, should be withheld specifically from us. Money and assets are good enough for the abusing Caucasian collective to extract continuously and bequeath exponentially for centuries. But not good enough for the foundationally abused and their direct-line descendants to access even once. For two damned minutes?

But Kamala has a “Lift Act.” OK…

Voting And Voting Right

Black people. The buck has to stop somewhere at sometime. Your vote is a supremely valuable currency. Votes don’t exist just to put certain folks in office that market good words and present good optics (Obama). There must be a guaranteed and specific benefit TO YOU agreed upon and then accomplished in exchange for that vote. Why do you think white people have always devised all kinds of dirty quasi-legal schemes, threatened groups, murdered individuals, and executed all kinds of nefarious actions to stop us from exercising our voting rights?

Exercising “Voting Rights” is not just the act of “voting.” Follow me here. There is an intentional “front end” – and a satisfactional “back end” to a vote. The “back end” from a vote must be the specific resources demanded, that are purchased through the currency power of a vote. And delivered to you by your candidate. That is the proper operational intent. The proper cause and effect of a vote. Use Intelligence. Never follow or assent to that: “Vote Blue No Matter Who” bullshit. Doing mindless crap when it comes to our politics is what got us standing between a rock and a hard place in the first place. Think Family.

“Voter Suppression?” What’s That? At this point, the main source of “voter suppression” in general, is us intentionally not being registered. Black people not showing up intentionally. We must show up to the polls impressively. But to vote and choose strategically – differently – disruptively. If we must vote downballot – then that’s what we will have to do. Understand that WE determine the results in all major elections. WE – the Foundational Black Americans of these United States – are 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment Federal Supercitizens (from Ted Hayes).

With supercitizenship we have a responsibility to ourselves.

From now on people. Decide: No vote without reparations and considerations that are specified by us on the table. We need to develop a self-decided, self-generated, and uncompromisingly demanded Black agenda. And not accepting Black optics.

That agenda: It being presented and demanded to execution by us, to all incumbents and candidates. If your voting reasons differ from making certain demands and insisting on certain conditions then why are you voting? If none of any candidates are willing to execute OUR agenda NO VOTE FOR THEM. Understand people, that collective agenda includes YOUR individual needs. If no candidate is willing to roll with us – then none of US should hand over our vote to ANY of them. Democrat or Republican. Trump. Or no Trump.

Period.

Fear-based voting days for us are over. This stupid-assed – “We got to get rid of Trump” alarmism. OK? Don’t fall for that rush-job. If we lived through all the other overtly racist presidents. And twelve of them were actual slaveholders? And Woodrow Wilson. And Andrew Johnson. And Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Yes – lying bitch Franklin Democrat Roosevelt, who, post-election, declined to sign an anti-lynching bill. After agreeing to do so. Who LIED to Mary McLeod Bethune with promissory sweetness and back-stabbing smiles. “We need to get Negroes to the polls Mary!” Who referred to her privately as one of “Eleanor’s Niggers.” The anti-lynching bill stayed unsigned. And “Southern Strategy” Nixon. And “Willie Horton” Bush. Continued.

We could strategically live through this one as well. By way of “transforming the swamp by the power of downballot” to accomplish a substantive long-term goal. Didn’t that motherfucker Biden say: “If you don’t vote for me – you ain’t Black?” No Dude. It goes: “If we don’t vote for you – you ain’t elected motherfucker.”

Yes – I’m a recent graduate of the Samuel L. Jackson College Of…

Ahem.

LOOK FAM!!!

Stop giving your vote away to certain parties and/or candidates for nothing in return but “hope” and “optics.” Let the White House chips fall as they may.

Quid Pro Quo. From Now On.

Downballot Baby. The main objective is to NOT give the motherfucking Democrats
ANYTHING. Especially Kamala Harris. Hell No. Even if she promises a bucket of chicken for your vote. NO. But take the chicken. Now – we can accomplish this in one of three ways: 1. Leave both presidential spaces blank or write “ADOS” in those spaces. 2. Vote for a third party candidate like one with the Green Party or Socialist Party or something. Or, 3. If you MUST for somebody at the top – vote for Trump.

Fuck Biden.

Preparation For Liberation

I would hope that all ADOS at this time, prepare themselves to the best of their individual abilities, through learning business, finance, economics, politics, law, marketing, logistics, mathematics, high English language proficiency, philosophy, information technology, urban planning, statistics, engineering, psychology, project management, and civics. Doing that in either formal, informal, and independent ways. We all do need to have SOME pre-reparations knowledge and direction.

Otherwise – we will end up empowering others with our empowerment.
