Which Of These Two Composite Pictures Is More Likely To Trigger A Response From The Black Establishment?

(hat tip to Anonymous for the outrage in Birmingham)

Exhibit A:

George W Bush with a collage of "dead American soldiers" that were killed from the "illegal war" that Bush sent them to where they were killed.  Notice how the SHADING of the underlying pictures forms the contours of the ultimate picture that is painted.  (example - no BLACK FOLKS pictured in the portion of Bush's skin)

(Note: Not only have the "Anti Bush-War" protests disappeared - no one would dare make a composite picture of the number of American soldiers killed while Obama was president. Such a person would be attacked using one of the myriad of words used against an "Obama-critic" to stop what was routine words said against his immediate predecessor.)









Exhibit B:

Notice how "dark" this particular composite picture is.  Unfortunately the alignment of its darkness is not a function of the need to shift the darker faces that make up the individual elements in the picture off to the side as the face of the "white man" being depicted is not 'tarnished' by the brown skinned pixel behind it.

Can there be a greater irony than to see the city of Birmingham as the backdrop of the massive murder situation, mostly of Black people.   In the annals of Black America the actions of racist Whites who executed the 1963 church bombing of the "Four Little Black Girls" live in infamy.   The explosive device used to destroy the "16th Street Baptist Church" in "Bombingham" have killed peopled "deader" than anything the people pictured to the left can ever hope to do with their weapons.

The typical television newscast in February will show more Black people murdered during the modern day than will the black and white church bombing video that is shown every year in a reminded of the evil that is in the face of our enemy.

We as Black people are told "those who forget their past are doomed to repeat it".  From this I conclude one of two things:
  1. The faces dispersed upon the composite picture above are ignorant of their history 
  2. The face of our enemy has no race but instead is a spirit of "hatred and ignorance" which manifests itself against our community's interests
Sadly both might be the case but I believe that the second item to be more of an accurate description of our present condition.

In Birmingham Alabama as it is in Atlanta Georgia, as it is in Chicago Illinois 2010 there exists a "Killing Fields" for Black people.  If are consistent then the calls that the "killing fields" in the pre-Civil Rights South
must be taken down should be applied to these modern places.  Unfortunately the face of these killers of Black people will present the usual suspects from "taking them down" with the same resolve as we have seen in the past.

Sadly:  "The passion seen in response to the murder of a Black person is a function of the face and authority of his killer".   White people and police have a special place that a Black killer cannot occupy. 



Which adults have failed in their interactions with these young people that their trajectory toward becoming honorable citizens was hijacked, turning them into murders?

I'm the one that send you the article. This is the type of crap that still pisses me off to a very high extent. We will sit here and look for one racist bigot to say: Things will never change or racism is still alive.

Don't worry, I will drive to Jena, Louisana with 80,000 of my brothers and sisters to protest the injustice of five black men. But, i will not protest in the inner-city to terrible schools, high crime rates or against the establishment.
