What If They Are Us (Whites) and We Are Them (Blacks)?

The Black-White Dichotomy! 

Can't We All Just Get Along?

Wayman Wallace I have a more 'existential faith'; one that is essentially based upon unmerited favor (grace), and living in the present.  Throughout the Canon, it is fair to say, that there are numerous examples where unmerited favor was granted. 

 Even a Killer King, was bestowed with honor, despite all of his many indiscretions.   Peter-the Knife, should have been jailed for his infractions.  Some of the Apostles, contemplated in their hearts) (calling in UAVs from heaven, in order to fire up people.   

How can we judge others, for engaging in similar practices that we engage in today?   If Mitochondrial DNA, and the biblical record turns out to be correct, 'white people came from you and I', and they are our Abels.  Ergo, for every atrocity that they have committed, or commit today, they were and are, our progeny.  And we do the same things, or have done so, historically.And if that is the case; somewhere in our DNA, we still practice today, what our ancestors engaged in before, when they were you and  me (black instead of white).  In other words, what we are experiencing today, might be comeuppance, or simply reaping what we have sown, vicariously, through our black/white selves, that were here, previously.   

Syllogism, and where does our sense of entitlement or exceptionalism, come from?  We need to forgive, because we have done and are doing, some of us, the same things; when  engaging in similar behavior, as the ones that we accuse, of doing wrong to us.  Once our people understand what it means to forgive the past, and live in the present... then our people will excel.  THIS ONE THING I DO , forgetting those things which are behind me, and reaching forward to those that are before, I Press...Who can be blessed, in others words, when they keep looking back and judging others, given what they often do themselves?

The State of Too Many Black Males in America The Black Male Progressive

Black males in America, need to become gamechangers, the ones that have not!

It is difficult to conduct surgery on those members of a community (the black community) that need surgery the most. The worst offenders in real-time, are the personification of a character that was created and played by the late comedian 'Flip Wilson'.

Geraldine, would always project endogenous-personal failure, behaviors and giving into temptation, on to a unseen 'third-party devil'. This phantom devil would 'make her' do things, that she claimed that she normally would not do.

All too often, where some members of the black community are concerned, 'mostly black males who wear dresses underneath their outer garb'; 'the white man is accused of being the devil', that is responsible for their actions (even against their own black brothers and sisters).

This type of scapegoating is a simple admission that these brothas' do not see themselves as being in control of their own choices and decisions in life'; also that they are unable to make the correct choices for themselves, or to face adversity and to overcome it.

Before, I catch a beat-down, let me say this: I am not talking about the majority of black brothas'.  The tough ones build community... are not in denial; and work to overcome adversity of any kind!

The Zimmerman Murder of Trayvon Martin

and The Aftermath of the Mariel Boatlift

`There is a possibility, that the insouciant and unrepretant killer of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, was being set up and pimped'. without know it! 

The Great Deception Cubans v. Blacks

No one seemed to have gotten it, or cared anyway, regarding the impact of the tensions that existed and still occur today, between Caucasians, black Americans, and the Cuban community in Florida.

White Floridians and lawmakers, took advantage of the dichotomy, and stealthily pitted blacks and Cubans against each other,.  And what they did was to sit back while waiting for the outcome. Consider the Mariel Boatlift; then and afterward. Why? Many Cubans (some like Zimmerman), not all; including Fidel Castro... considered themselves to be Caucasian.  And as a result, they felt and feel superior to  blacks, even the ones on the island.

Cuban help in Angola or not (with blacks in the ranks), there was a problem..  Why?  rarely were black personnel promoted to the highest ranks in the Cuban military. It would appear that some members of the Caucasian community in Florida, took advantage of this dichotomy, with respect to the lighter hued Cubans v. the darker hued Cubans and black Americans.

Zimmerman, would never have shot or killed a white person or a lighter-skinned Cuban, under similar circumstances, I believe. We need more psycho-graphic information, of course. However, I believe that Floridian whites, pimped Zimmerman as well, and in turn helped to set him free afterward, in order to make their point. And that is what I believe is still going on under the surface, right down to today.

And, if nothing is done about this defacto conspiracy, it will be open season on black and darker-hued Cubans before and after dusk. however, this time the assaults will be carried out by whites and (and even non-whites) in Florida, Why?  The hope being that members of the first 2 c communities, mentioned; would cancel each other out.  Will America, ever grow up, that remains to be seen?  This type of scenario, might perpetuate itself into perpetuity, if something is not done.  

Finally, I would recommend that meetings between the African-American and Cuban community, take place immediately.These 2 communities are being set up by other interests, to cancel each other out.  George Zimmerman, appears to be an unsuspecting pawn; and doesn't even know it!

He should go to Trayvon Martin's grave, kneel in front of it and ask for forgiveness, today!

Blessed are they who show mercy for mercies will follow them. 

Back in the day, two males (commonly), would get into a fight. They would box, wrestle the other to the ground, roll around and perhaps give the other one a black eye or a bloodied nose. The difference between then and now, is that in the former days, the combatants, would shake hands and go their separate ways. I have even known of times, when the two might become friends, once they cooled off. 

Today, even preachers like Pat Robertson (can't call him a man of God), U.S. Representatives, Police Officers, Jurists will say... well, a man is justified in killing an unarmed man, even though the other one pursued the unarmed one. I suppose that innocent people, are not entitled to stand their ground, or to fight an armed man', that has pursued him or her over (even if they are kid, being approached by a grown man). One reason that Pat and others like him, teach nonsense is this: They believe more in American Foreign Policy, and the way that America, treats little guy nations around the world. 

America, will spy, follow and attack others. And, if the prey reacts, America will blow them them to Kingdom come, while justifying themselves by saying: All that we did was to fight back against people, who resisted us, and what's wrong with that. Being one's brother's keeper, apparently, went down the drain, with Pat and America's leadership. To be sure, at least in the days of the Wild Wild West, and chivalry; both combatants would be provided with a gun, in order to defend themselves and to make the fight, fair!. Many Political Leaders, NRA Members and Advocates in this nation, are irresponsible, behave like children and advocate for violence. 

They believe that violence, economic strangulation... are the solution for most problems; 'regardless of whose blood cries out from the ground'. Oops!. They also believe in stop, look and shoot, kids too! And, they wonder, why some of us neither respect nor take them seriously -- the baby killers in other nations of the world. Children would do a better job with governance. Why? They will fight and soon make up, afterward. America today, is mostly void of creditable leadership at the top, also in pulpits, where leaders pimp people, in order to get money (not all, but some of them). 

We have a bunch of children in offices across the land, instead of leaders. In my opinion; Zimmerman, besides being a child-killer and a punk, lacked and lacks dignity. I would have said this to a person, knowing that if I had a gun and was getting my butt kicked: Let's put the gun(s) away, make this a fair fight and duke it out, because I have a concealed weapon. Zimmerman, apparently a 'squealing punk', and because he was loosing the fight to a 'black child' which must have hurt his pride: pulled his concealed weapon, squealed like a pig (in order to make it seem like he was in trouble), murdered his opponent to the satisfaction of many of our confused and so-called leaders... Later, he laughed about it, and during the 24-hour, period: was permitted to go home. . 

What does that tell you about America's cultural-ethos, where some people and child-murders are concerned? What's that about the Reverend Pat Robertson’s of the world? Well, he also wanted President Bush Jr. to knock off late President Hugo Chavez and was also against 'the Roadmap to Peace' in the Middle East! A certain segment of Americans, similar to Cain in the bible, lost their way, a long time ago. They are not their brother's keepers. They also need to be fired from their posts, that is if they don't shoot you first, in the manner that 'THEY ARE DOING TO OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, that are unarmed! Soon, Zimmerman, will appear on the face of Time Magazine, as the Man of the year, I predict. Also, someday, he will likely be a United States Congress person, known as, The Honorable Gentleman from Florida. He seems to have all of the qualifications now, and should fit right in. What say ye?

Finishing The Work That Was Started in Black Communities Across the Nation By our Ancestors

We ought to move forward, and not backwards to retrograde thinking and thinkers.

Kwanzaa Celebration at San Francisco City Hall

I trust that all of our brothas', especially the ones that give in to and practice (aberrant and anti-social) behaviors, would experience an epiphany, and engage in an immediate turnaround. Why? They need to help stop the madness, and assist the community to complete its rise and ascension that has been begun. Why?

Because the other peaceful members of the community (many of them who are struggling), face the same challenges that each one of them faces, each and everyday, except with one caveat; and it is this: We don't run and hide, instead we defend ourselves, the community and our loved-ones from people) and their criminal and flanking-maneuvers, who look just like us, in addition to other. However, in this context, I am referring to black criminals!

To be sure, black criminals are also besieging, hurting us... And they are the primary threats in our communities, all across the nation. Black criminals, rarely contribute anything, but mayhem, accusations and excuses, for bad behavior that they foment within our black communities.

Their lack of contributions, and preying on our communites - hinders the community's ability to finish its journey, and the work that was begun from slavery and servitude, right down until today. Our objective, was to enjoy relative peace and harmony, while working to help ourselves. Our one and two percenters black criminals, simply won't tolerate that, similar to the manner that their mirrors on the other side, won't let us rise up.

Even more than the Klan, or any white separatist group (they don't even come to 'black town' anymore), and why should they, when black people are doing their work for them? Black repeat criminals, particularly, are doing their share of doing the black community in, as well. And they are doing so, invariably in real-time, each and everyday. The external enemies of black people sit back, watch, laugh and feel vindicated, and have another beer.

I often wonder if some of you (our black criminals) are being paid or buttressed by the Klan... in others words being hired to do their dirty work (the extermination of black people), for them! And you have to give it to black criminals; they are doing a good job of keeping 'disruption', in our community's alive, whatever their motivations happens to be. Whatever their motivations are, and as far as I am concerned, many of black America's black criminals, are black America's other Public-Enemy number one'. The old folks used to say (and sadly someone told me that I am one of them - smile), you can't clean up anyone elses house, until you clean up your own. BTW, I will have to clean up my room, when I get off of this line, eek. But the truth is that black folks, have been cleaning up for members of other communities, and still refuse to clean up their communities and homes.

Some members of the black community, don't seem to care, if the black community continues to deteriorate, or if it falls apart. They are so completely absorbed in their own pathos or denial, that all that matters to them, 'is them'!

And as a result, keep this in mind: The bars and locks on the doors of the domiciles of many members of the black community, are not there to protect black-citizens from the Klan... Instead, they have been placed there, ostensibly; to protect black people, from an internal and immediate black and 'homegrown', internal threat,. The black community-member's, enemy number one, often lives next door. The latter prey upon black people, in order to cut out an existence, and to make themselves feel important.

Ironically, the 'black-criminal', will have you to believe that 'Po Po', is the threat, when they 'the black community's internal enemy-number one, is doing the same and more, than 'Po Po' is doing more to our people, on a daily basis.

There is a reason why they won't go across town with their crap, and the reason being is this: They know that if they were to do so, they would not be coming back. What black community-members tolerate, from our human-black-pathogens, will not be tolerated across town. Yet black people, tolerate it each day, while hiding behind locked-doors, iron gates, 2 and 3 locks, bars on their windows, alarms on their cars and windows....

Yet still in the black community, because of internal conflict; some blacks will welcome and endure black aberrant and criminals, along with their behaviors, each and every day, right down to and after they do something to them. Now, what is up with that, is that schizoid or what? Again, Kudos to the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan, for going into black neighborhoods, and carrying this same message of 'detente, recovery and re-building'.

On the other hand, I have encountered and read about black folks, who enjoy and seem to encourage black criminality, and live vicariously through the images and behaviors of black criminals.

What is really so ironic about our black perpetrators (and their sympathizers) is this; they are the ones who want to be viewed as, the victims, while failing to take responsibility, for their own inertia, actions, inaction, celebratory instincts, other the preying upon law-abiding and self-respecting peace-ful black folks, citizens, that the former view as lambs. The truth is this: there is a segment of our black criminals, that are pathological and aberrant killers. Others are also hardened criminals and sociopaths, that act out of 'willful-intent'. .

It is difficult to win an external battle, and to build and sustain a community, when at the same time, you are trying to defend yourselves from a 'misguided internal enemy-mole', that is masquerading as a community member, from within. Who in their right minds would sympathize with sociopaths? The answer is moot, many people do. The Menendez boys, after murdering their parents, received scores of letters from females, requesting to be their wives, and so on and so on. There are a lot of people who prefer soci-paths, that will defend them until the end.

The other challenge is this: How do you operate successful, as a community, when you permit misguided black-folks within, to run 'the asylums', who empathize with and believe that the criminals, are the victims, or on the other hand that any black person that is trying to eliminate the problem , is an Uncle Tom; and therefore their enemy number one.

There is one major difference in the rest of us, however; we don't ravage our own. Instead, we work hard each day to come up with solutions, to make our communities thrive, and to work, again. In terms of black heritage, 'a whole of lot of folks, not just blacks, sacrificed their lives, in order for black folks, 'us', to have relative peace and to enjoy opportunity, in what was supposed to be 'the new world'.

How do we do it, that is to complete the roadmap that someone else started? We do so, by facing the head-on challenges (to include the challenges of the behaviors from aberrant black citizens from the inside, in addition to the ones from the outside), in order to make our communities work.

When you think about it: Isn't it enough to cope with all of the imposed structural and legacy barriers and challenge from the outside, that we contend with daily, from the outside - when we have to beware of the footsteps, that are coming up from behind us (black criminals, people in denial and sociopaths) that is?

And isn't it sad that we cannot live peaceably, within our own communities, or that grandma, grandpa or the kids, cannot sit on the porch, walk to the local store, play in the parks or even go to church, before one or more of these knuckleheads, acts out?

Black criminals, haven't suffered any more than the rest of us have. If criminals want to join in and to fight the proper way, they should lay aside their guns, stop cutting up, join us, use their heads, and help us to win the war. Which war? I am referring to the one on the outside, the one within, and the one that besets our communities, that derives from black perpetrators.

and the moral equivalent ones that you keep up on the inside. If not for yourselves, do so for your grandparents, parents, children, the community. It is hard to fight, when you daily hear footsteps, from your own community, coming up from behind!

To be sure, I am a proponent of a black criminal- justice system, and one that is tough and to the point. One who's objective would be to protect the citizens, eliminate crimes, lock up … people, regardless of hue or skin, then the rest of us can move on. Many times, the peaceful members of the black community, is being out-flanked, by its own combatants... that are coming up from the rear!

An Epiphany: Regarding (American Independence Day)

Freedom in the larger sense, what does it mean?

 San Francisco Bay  Ruins
Is freedom simply a relative concept, or a dubious term?

Having engaged in a bit of soul searching, yesterday July 4th; I had a epiphany.  I recognized that while matriculating through my school years; I only celebrated Independence Day, in the manner in which I was taught to do.

Since that time, I've simply enjoyed the holiday, without ever applying its meaning, or attaching any fore-, or very much afterthought or significance, to its purported meaning.  I never planned it that way; somehow it just happened.  I suspect that it was inevitable, that it did happen!

With respect to black Americans (can't speak for all); I suspect that 1863, or subsequently  Juneteenth, were the 2 event-horizons, that defined our Independence, to the extent that it was done.  Why? These 2 event-horizons, have become more meaningful to me (at least), in deference to any (annualized) Independence Day, or any of its observances,.

The Fourth of July, similar to other national holidays, is simply just that; it is a national holiday.  The latter boasts of something promised, that has never been fully honored or respected, by all Americans.  It is regrettable, in my opinion; that the United States of America had such a fractious and dubious beginning.  In other words; a nation that celebrated independence, didn't begin to practice it (to the extent that it did at all) until the late 19th century (again, to the extent that it did ).

A declaration of independence, is not the same as believing, practicing, recognizing or honoring one's independence as a birthright.  Agree or disagree?  Truly, there are other systems that promise freedom, that ostensibly, end up bringing a person back into bondage(s)!

Simply reflecting
