		<description>You know...some people are just mentally disturbed.  There are good and bad people in all races...it&#039;s not just defined to one race.  I HATE that there are people out there that target certain races...LIVE AND LET LIVE!!  I don&#039;t see this black woman as a black woman, but rather as just a woman who did not deserve this.  But she is forgiving so BRAVO to her!  More people should have the same mentality.  I hope she has mended and is able to move on.  My best goes out to her.</description>

		<description>Eric -- maybe Obama should buy a gun (well, he&#039;ll have the secret service of course), but why in hell do you think you need one?  Has the KKK come knocking on your door lately?  Why in hell are you invoking Stokely Carmichael?  Would a black man like Obama had a snowball&#039;s chance of becoming president back in the 1960s?  These are vastly different times.  White people aren&#039;t so bold as to roam around black neighborhoods looking to string people up.  Yeah, when that starts happening I&#039;m with you, and all for arming myself and my friends with sturdy weaponry.  But until that day comes, I regard your call to arms as rhetorical paranoia.</description>

		<description>Dajon if you think that self- defense does not work ask &quot;The Deacons of Defense&quot;, that&#039;s who Stokley Carmicheal went to when the FBI could/would not  protect his people during the &quot;march against fear&quot;. The minute Stokely called the Deacons of Defense the Klan, the white racists and their silent defenders  backed off.The Deacona believed in the right to defend your family, friends and community against racial terrorism, and what is happening in these  conservative rallies is Racial Terrorism. That is not paranoia  in a country where people have access to any type of gun and they are chanting to the nominee of the opposing party with words of &quot;KILL HIM.</description>

		<description>By the way, what makes any of you think that firearms are lacking amongst black Americans?  Some of you act like the option of bearing arms is hot news.  In fact, it&#039;s old, bad news, and none of you are really clear what the point of this call to arms is.  What exactly are you advocating?  That you wander around the streets with a concealed weapon in order to protect yourselves from white people who are pissed off about Obama?  Or are you advocating that you whip out a your nine millimeter if a cop decides to stop you for no reason?  Just WHAT in hell is the point of being an advocate for more guns on the streets of our communities?  Seriously, you guys are sounding more and more like cretinous white gun nuts such from the NRA.  Rise above the stupid, violent paranoia.</description>

		<description>Dajon, the bullshit John Wayne style of shoot you talk about is how the Caucasian became the dominate group on the planet. The systematic acts of continually keeping us off balance, in the nine areas of people activity is what maintains their dominance.

A few question to the family!

Who is your &quot;god?&quot;
What does your god look like?
What does your god say about your manifest destiny?

Right thinking people such as Eric Daniels and Harvey Dent, Mizzo and the rest are not advocating violence as a first resort, but as ED says, it is intelligence.

Please note that African people in the west have always stood up when confronted with violence, examples being Rosewood and Tulsa Oklahoma. What has slowed that role is the advocacy of the type of European specific religious teachings that tell us to act like sheeps instead of MEN. Poll any member of a different ethnic group, the majority would tell you a man defends his honour, his family, his culture and his social frame work.

The minority that tries to run the world are a group of deranged, psychopathic cowardly murderers, who must be made to realize that getting their way will from now on not be easy. In fact, I have yet to see the human being who wouldn&#039;t be slowed by a good physical beating.  When we get their attention, then we can dialogue as equals.

I also want to expand on something I said in a earlier post. Just because the original African culture and social fabric was decimated, does not mean we cannot still be creative. We can rebuild what was lost, because culture is really what you are doing now.  We just want to re-build a healthy one.

Be at peace Dajon, we are not hating here!</description>

		<description>Eric, nobody is arguing against &quot;self defense.&quot;  This is just a strawman of yours.  And because I&#039;m not a frothing NRA nut advocating gun ownership as the first retreat of the fearful, that means I&#039;m an &quot;assimilated negro?&quot;  By that of course you mean a tool.  Sorry to pop your bubble of convenient generalization, but I&#039;m among those who are sick of seeing guns on the city streets (NYC for me) because I&#039;ve seen what devastation they&#039;ve wrought over the years.  What you apparently advocate is a bullshit John Wayne style shoot first and ask questions later.  No thanks.  Yeah, you may feel proud and mighty the first time you whip out your piece when somebody looks at you crosseyed, but the time after that this same person might just mistake your &quot;self defense&quot; for offense and blow your brains out.  

Your position is one of an unthinking individual.  Peace.</description>

		<description>Miranda and Dajon

Miranda, I would have confronted the bastard just like I did when two skinheads tried to beat my ass when I was walking home from work a few years ago. ironically the reason I carry a weapon (knife, screwdriver, box cutter) because I was mugged by 6 black men when I was in my 20&#039;s coming home from my girlfriend&#039;s house. After that I swore I would never be a victim again, if anyone stepped to me with violence I would defend myself because not to is to remain a victim of someone else power play.

Dajon, you sound either like an assimilated Negro, minority or white person trying to use the same racial &quot;spin games&quot; that passes for modern racial politics in America. 95% of African- Americans who live in this country in 2008 have been descendants of Africans going back to the first indentured servants and slaves in the early 1600&#039;s so we are &quot;assimiliated&quot; into the social, moral, and political fabric of these lands so don&#039;t try to use that tack with me. I believe that law- abiding African-Americans have the right to LIVE  AND BE FREE FROM OPPRESSION !!!!! and that&#039;s from the KKK, BBB, RAC, or USA and GOP. 

If a law-abing African- American saw that young lady being harassed, I hope those people would stop and detain that crazy man, but if Mc Cain and his supporters want to use violence as a weapon against African- Americans yes, you have the right to use whatever means at your disposal to make sure that person will never bother another black person again. Obama will be protected from harm it&#039;s the average brotha and sista of all ages I am worried about if Obama wins or loses I think we should be prepared for our white (or other races) who would assualt law-abiding Black Folks.

Self- Defense is intelligence.</description>

I always argued Sankofa&#039;s point with a friend of mine that the lack of defined history did hobble Africans in the USA.  Immigrants of other races and ethnic groups know where they come from but I&#039;m spitting in the wind if I say my people are from West Africa.  What does that mean because I can&#039;t go back to my county as they do in Ireland or my canton as the Swiss can.  That psychic disconnect can be fatal and as one of my history professor&#039;s told me it&#039;s a testament to our ancestors resolve from the first slave ship through Reconstruction through Jim Crow that Blacks of the Diaspora have been able to carve out our own unique culture.  History does inform the future despite what my assimilated brethren might say because as long as things like this happen in FL to this young lady or WV to Megan Williams or TX to James Byrd I know self-defense or violence if you prefer is the best way to deal with such bigots.  I&#039;m not trying to love anyone who has to be convinced I&#039;m a human being.  If they haven&#039;t learned that in the 21st century then I&#039;m damn sure not the one to teach them.</description>

		<description>Dajon, are you of the group that calls themselves &quot;white&quot;? If not, have you heard of the system called &quot;white supremacy&quot;?  your answer will inform me as to the origin of your thoughts as it goes into this post.

Just a little information sharing here, no other ethnic group, people, culture or civilization has experienced the genocidal rage and destruction like the African people. Even the aboriginal people have been ALLOWED, to practice their ancient belief and customs with out the propaganda of paternalistic ridicule, the way we have. The Indians ( I assume you mean South Asians), Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and so many other minorities  in this corporation called America, all come from culturally intact society. THIS is why they have been able to succeed in this anti-immigrant country.  They all have the strength of the intact culture and social network of a NATION to back them in America Inc.

You are correct though in that we need education, but real world education, not relying on intellectualization and book speak to over come &quot;White Supremacy&quot;. Real world education tells that if some one puts a hand on you, you make sure they don&#039;t do it to you or anybody else again.  It&#039;s not just self defence, it&#039;s also intelligence. These are also the words of El Hajj Malik Al Shabazz. Obama is no hero, his efforts are not heroic. Cynthia McKinny is more heroic than he, because she is operating outside the shitstem with out the safe guards of wall street backing that Obama has.

incidentally... there is a movement a foot to find out if Obama is a naturalized citizen of America Inc. or Kenya, the devils insist on sending the &quot;illegal immigrant&quot; back to Africa in hand cuffs.

How can we use the system for our betterment with mind set like this. have you ever heard of changing the rules?  African people need guns ins a society with a wild west mentality. They don&#039;t fear us too much because of where we are pointing the guns. As sad as it is, this is why even in their hatred, they will step lightly around those from North East Africa the so called Arabs, than African people.</description>
