The Power To Label - The Power To Manipulate Public Sentiment

A clarification of my agenda is at hand, once again.

My contention is that the sensibilities of the "Black rank and file" is being exploited by those who have no other purpose but to use us for their own political and ideological agenda. In their minds the charge of "White Supremacy" rings as a bigger threat than anything that any Black man can do to assail our community.

I desire to take "ME" out of the debate and instead to leverage this blog as a "portal into the real world....WITHIN the Black community".

Those who have the power to label make use of a perverted set of tools to retain their power.
They work hard to keep the Black community consciousness focused EXTERNAL to our community. They realize that they can trigger a more concentrated response by tapping into these sensibilities.

When a person like me, having recognized their scheme, and then showing the audacity to keep the microscope focused upon the land that they already control - they render their attacks upon me. I am called a "self hater". In truth I am merely working as a counterbalance to their fraud.

Isn't it strange that a person or machine who CLAIMS that they are working in earnest for the PROGRESSION of the Black Community desperately fear those who dare walk behind them and make independent measure of their efficacy?

If they were restaurant owners they would work as the distraction for the "County Health Inspectors" as they come by to do their inspection, the results posted at the entrance for all to see.

THE VIDEO OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION THAT TOOK PLACE IN ATLANTA YESTERDAY

Yesterday in Atlanta there was a "Civil Rights violation" that took place.  Did you hear about it where you live?

• A man had a beef with the owners of the store.  The despite is unknown at this time
• The man brought some flammable material to the store, making a threat against the store owners
• The man turned into an "Arsonist" when he lit the liquid and threw both bottles into the store
• The employees escaped, clinging to their lives
• The building burned to the ground
• The store is no more
• The community is now terrorized that this would happen "in these times" 

What about these bullet points is different from what have been the case 50 years ago?  Is there one end point that is different?

Ultimately we must ask:  "What does the label 'Civil Rights Violation' or 'Hate Crime' matter IF THE OUTCOMES ARE THE SAME?"

• Assaulted Black people
• Terrorized Black community

My challenge to all is to LIFT the threat from the "Black Assailant" to that of EQUAL to a White or any other.  Failing to do so merely plays into the hands of the "bigots within" who have a vested interest in keeping us looking outside our community.  A community that THEY just happen to manage.  

In their own self-interests and desire for preservation they realize that by keeping us focused in a certain direction we will retain them as valuable leaders who defend us rather than the establishment who should be held accountable for failing to manage the threats that impact us.

Why did they take the job if they are not willing to manage the safety and security within?
