There were quite a few
points that I felt needed to be shared in Part I of this topic, but failed to
mention them. However, in this second part of my thoughts concerning the Trayvon
Martin murder and trial, I will cleanse my mind of every thought (up to this
point) that I have as it relates to the trial and the “not guilty” verdict. I ended
the last article with suggestions of how we can begin the process of getting to
the people that we (Black people) need to become or even return to in order to
continue to live and survive in this current reality. In the last article I
alluded to a certain group of people who I identified as being double agents
for white supremacy. These people are for real. On the plantation during
slavery, when a revolt was being planned by disgruntled slaves, Sambo would sit
in on the secret meetings only to run back and tell the plantation owner what
was being said in the back slave quarters. Next, there was the plantation bred
preacher (the origin of the American Black preacher) who was used to teach
other slaves about what the plantation owner referred to as a heaven after
death. The plantation bred preacher was a trusted slave. He preached sermons
under the thumb of the plantation owner about how ole massa was not so bad and
how ole massa did not know what he was doing as he went about his day being
cruel and merciless to the enslaved Afrikans. The enslaved Afrikans were
trained to pray for ole massa and his evil ways instead of killing that
son-of-a bitch and leaving that plantation. The plantation preacher’s job was
to indoctrinate the slaves into accepting mal-treatment as a way of living like
Jesus with hopes of dying like Jesus and going on to a heaven beyond the
clouds.
The Negro preacher,
since the days of slavery, is always given marching orders by the racist system
to soothe and drown out any anger feelings or any plans of rebellion against
the unfair and unjust system. For his valiant deed, the Negro preacher is
rewarded financially by way of 501 (c) 3 non-profit status attached to their
churches, which has included millions of dollars of interest free loans to
build even bigger churches to indoctrinate more un-knowing Black people. The Negro
preacher is now joined by legions of other people who feel authorized to soothe
and destroy the fight in African Americans today. These people come in the form
of some of your “friends” (so-called liberal whites) and so-called educated
Negroes with good jobs that live in the suburbs, who actually believe that
racism is not a big deal these days. The nerve of these folks is astounding.
They want to say that this situation is not a racial issue. These same people
want to insult the Black community by stating “Well, the case was lost not
because of race, but because the prosecution failed to prove its case in
court.” First of all, Black people are not stupid. Many watched the case from
the beginning to the end. The prosecution did not prosecute the case as if they
wanted to win. They prosecuted the case to shut some people up. Hell, I could
have prosecuted that case and won! Many (across racial lines) also witnessed
that this case was a farce from the beginning.
I want to know this.
Why in the hell wasn’t there a Black person on the prosecution team? It was
Johnnie Cochran who brought the heat in the O.J. Simpson trial, which
ultimately got O.J. a verdict of “not guilty.” Where was the Johnnie Cochran
for the prosecution? Why wasn’t there a Black presence on that prosecution team?
I am of the belief that the prosecution and the defense team were both against
the Martin family. I believe that the Martin family along with so many Black
people tried so hard not be seen as “racial” that they allowed this all-white
prosecution team to take advantage of for fear of being labeled race baiters.
As a result of not being true to themselves and calling a spade a spade, the
Martin family ultimately gave that trial away. Also, these agents of white
supremacy, which includes these educated Negroes who feel the need to point out
that this trial is not about race because George Zimmerman is Hispanic and not
White.
Well smart-asses, let
me educate you all on some things. George Zimmerman is what Mexicans call a
coconut (Brown on the outside, but White on the inside, meaning in their
brains). This is very similar to what the Black community refers to as Oreos.
Oreo African-Americans are Black on the outside, but very white on the inside. George
Zimmerman, who is of mixed racial background, lived and thought as a privileged
white man. His father (a Jew-ish White man) was a judge/magistrate and his mother
(a Hispanic) both reportedly has connections to the courts in Sanford, Florida
as well. His negative and hateful attitude about Blacks and according to the
911 operator call, Black males, is shaped by his belief in him being a
privileged Whiteman and not a Mexican/Hispanic. He is to Blacks what America is
to Blacks. So, in his Americanized mind he was indeed stopping a Nigger who he
believed had no business in a neighborhood where good and decent white folks
live.
So, what do we do now
as a community? Do we continue to cuss and fuss on Twitter and Facebook? Do we
organize and make a plan to protect the lives of other Black children from
white vigilantes? Will we finally
put together a plan to stop the violence where we live? Do we organize in our
local communities to put in place political leadership that will not sell us
out? Do we put together a plan to start calling out the racial sell-outs in the
community? Will we finally take a page from the playbook of survival and
protection of a one’s people from Jews, Hispanics, Homosexuals, Asians, and
other groups who don’t allow their children to be attacked at will because of
their race and sexual orientation? Now is a good time to jump on these plans. I
believe that God (The Creator) has sent the Black race/community far too many
warners and has sacrificed too many good people over the years in an effort to
get the message through our thick heads that WE need to do for self. Nobody is
coming from any clouds to save Black people. God is certainly not coming and a
Jesus figure is certainly not coming back from beyond any grave to rescue any
damn body.
Speaking of rescuing a
group of people, my friend and fellow Grambling alum, Janet Parker, put this on
my mind. Aren’t you all tired if whites
always coming to our rescue as if God never gave us a brain to do for
ourselves? I mean, damn throughout history
somebody white has had to hold our hands and rescue us from this hateful system!
I know this sounds crazy to be rescued by the very people who created this hell
on earth for Blacks because of the color of our skin and our genetic make-up. Whites
held our hands in getting off the plantation (that they created and benefitted
from) and assisted Harriet Tubman in hiding escaped slaves on their way through
the Underground Railroad as they made their way to freedom in the north. Whites
held our hands during the civil rights movement as we fought for rights under
the very system they benefitted from because they were white. White law-school
student students currently spend hours researching the unlawful convictions of
Black men and eventually get them released after finding out that these Black
men were wrongfully convicted. Why are white people still doing for us what we
should be doing for ourselves? Why are whites still rescuing blacks in 2013?
That damn trial was supposed to have had some Blacks on the jury and on the
damn prosecution team!
Look. We have plenty of
money (1 trillion dollars spent annually). We have access to all types of
educational tools and educational institutions in this country. I wish we
accessed Black colleges more, but that is another article. The one thing that
we lack is unity. WE need to unify. We need to educate ourselves about who we
are and accept it. WE are a people from a strong nation of people. We need to
teach our children about the reality of white racism not only in America, but
all over the world. Finally, please stop fooling yourself that prayer answers
all things. This is not true. Action, money, and a little prayer answer all
things in this reality.
