When White Conservatives Misappropriate History For Their Own Agenda
(From the Proetheus 6 blog)
The best way to appraise Chris Matthews' value to the present problems with Black America TODAY is to inspect his show this coming week to see if he even mentions anything about the Black people who were shot at Youngstown State University - contrasting his coverage of this tragedy as compared to that which happened in Tuscon. As a person who has a large video archive of MSNBC in order to "pattern analyze" them - they avoid covering any modern day "Black on Black" carnage lest they be forced to acknowledge that there exists some ORGANICALLY GENERATED dysfunction in Black America (which did not derive from slavery or oppression).
I am actually pleased that Matthews ran through the list of "Slave Owning Founding Fathers". The main flaw of his conservative adversaries is that as they attempt to show the founders as "brilliant men" who laid the groundwork for "American Exceptionalism" they seek to diminish the evils of American Chattel Slavery. This is where EQUAL HUMAN BEINGS per GOD'S CREATION where degraded into inferiors for no other reason than to afford the exploitation of them for commercial purposes.
When Black Folks Misappropriate History To Transact Their Modern Day "Victim Status"

At the 2:26 mark Ohio State Senator Anita Turner says: "Today in 2011 it feels more like 1811 in the state of Ohio".
Question: When the INFERIORITY of Black people is TRANSACTED for some present gains - has HISTORY BEEN MOLESTED ANY MORE?
To be more accurate - State Senator Turner did not "molest" HISTORY as did Rep Bauchman did in her goal to clean up the past deeds that were unsavory - She instead "transacted" upon the shackles of our ancestors oppression to gain some benefit of the indictment for TODAY.
The truth is that the ONLY thing that is in common between 1811 and 2011 is that before our ancestors who were stolen away from Africa were "Blacks WITHIN AMERICA" and today we are "BLACK AMERICANS".
The sad truth about the offense of both Bauchman and Turner is that while both of them misappropriate a given TIME PERIOD - only Turner will be provided with cover as - a "Favorable Black Person" is allowed to make such a distortion under the guise of "By Any Means Necessary".
In 1811:
- There was no "Black vote" - we were PROPERTY
- There was no Black mayors of ............

The point that I want to raise is that: THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP!!!!
The only point of tractions that they feel they have is the INDICTMENT AGAINST HISTORY. This impacts the Black community TODAY because these forces that PURPORT to represent the interests of the Black community will continue to transact upon our "Slave History" to increment their POWER and also decrement their ESTABLISHMENT POWER after sitting in the seats that they used to protest against.
The Black people in the state of Ohio have "challenges" that are far greater than the question of the diversity of the gubernatorial administration.
Sadly there is such alignment between the content of "bad guys" who appear on HuffPo, Democrats.com and the average "Black blog" who proclaims their advancement of our communities interests.
Scarce are the references to a methodology of ACCOUNTABILITY for those individuals who now sit in the seats of power over the HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTIONS within our community.
The ONLY reason why Chris Mathews gave us a "Slave History Lesson" is because it provided an opportunity to hit against the one woman that appears on "Black blogs" only second to Sarah Palin.
I can post a list of Black females who have been murdered in metro Atlanta since January 1 2011 and their cause won't prove to be as interesting.
