How can we have a conversation with the 1% who own 90% of the wealth? White Privilege is Pathological, full blown denial, and we suspect what the A.A. Big Book says: there are some who are constitutionally unable to recover from addiction ( in any form, Marvin X theory).
The A.A. Book tells us addiction is cunning and vile. The sad truth is that so many liberal and even Right Wing whites of good will do not understand the sickness emitted from their mouths!
Recently we were in Oakland at the 50th Anniversary of the Peralta Colleges, including Merritt College, home of birth of the Black Panther Party and the Black Arts Movement on the West Coast. Oakland's Afro-American Association gave birth to the Black Panther Party, the West Coast Black Arts Movement, including Maulana Ron Karenga's Kwanza myth/ritual. Karenga was the Los Angeles representative of Oakland's Afro-American Association, headed by Attorney Donald Warden, aka, Khalid Abdullah Tariq Al Mansour.
As per the West Coast, Merritt College was the hotbed of Revolutionary Black Nationalism. At the Peralta College 50th Anniversary, Black Panther Party co-founder was honored. Bobby was ill, so he had Virtual Murrell accept his award. In his remarks, Virtual said, "Bobby told me to say it was Marvin X's play Flowers for the Trashman that ignited the students after his production at Merritt College when the Soul Students Advisory Council held an evening of Black culture at Merritt. Bobby Seale said, "After Marvin's play, our student organization went full blown!"
As per White Supremacy, those addicted are not only in denial but are best described by James Baldwin when he said, "The idea of white supremacy has made white people pathological." In my 1968 interview with James Baldwin at his New York apartment, he said in the depressing winter of December, 1968, while the Viet Nam was in full swing: "How dare can we talk about the Prince of Peace while we bomb the hell out of the Vietnamese!"
"It's a wonder we haven't all gone stark raving mad. It's a miracle for a black father to raise a black son in this environment, and I applaud those fathers who have done so." (Marvin X interview with James Baldwin, NYC, 1968, Black Theatre Magazine, New Lafayette Theatre Publication, unpublished)
Marvin X on The Final Solution to the Occupied Pig Army and peace in the Hood
What I am about to say is not new to the American Government, they have spent millions and billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan to placate the young people in rebellion throughout the global village.
In Iraq, President Bush gave funds to the tribal chiefs in the Western Sunni provinces to enable the Sunni tribes and youth to stop their resistance. The USA promised three items: jobs, housing and education. Yes, this was the deal: from Iraq to Afghanistan, including the Taliban if they would only pledge allegiance to the constitution of the corrupt opium dealing government.
My point is simply this: if the USA can give the Sunni tribes in Iraq, the Taliban in Afghanistan, three items: education, housing and jobs, if they will only lay down their arms and surrender to the constitution of their countries, surely the USA can eliminate police terror by employing youth to secure their communities in the many ghettoes of America.
We must admit the police are constiutionally unable to transcend from the Slave Catcher Model to The Peace Officer mode, perhaps due to the Slave Catcher DNA, combined with addiction to white supremacy full blown, Type I (Dr. Nathan Hare, Blak Think Tank, San Francisco)
In the Western provinces, the only question was how to decrease the violence?
The global bandits knew they could seduce the young members of the Sunni tribes with the offer of the three items: housing, education and housing.
We shall conclude with the question: if America can spend millions and billions in Iraq to placate the youth, why can't she do the same in the ghettoes of America? Show the youth in the ghettoes of America you have love for them. Afterall, name one crime they have done to you!
