Blacks Need to Be in the Forefront of the Anti-Gun Movement
If the world was mine to rule, all handguns in the United States of America would be banned and at most I would leave a few closely regulated rifles for hunting. This may be a somewhat radical position but it is an absolutely necessary one – especially for Black America.
The simple fact is that we do virtually nothing with guns but kill one another. The Ku Klux Klan never killed and maimed as many Blacks as Blacks kill and maim one another. In America today, more African Americans are victims of homicides than are victims of AIDS. There is no reason to disbelieve the latest Justice Department figures which show that 90 percent of Blacks killed in this country are killed by other Blacks and in approximately 60 percent of the killings a handgun is used.
When are we going to wake up! Guns do not protect use; they kill us. They turn punks, thugs and the mentally deficient into domestic terrorists spreading fear, mayhem and death. This is fear, mayhem and death in which they simply would not be able to engage if it were not for that gun. How long will America, both Black and white, continue to witness deranged people killing dozens at malls, college campuses and neighborhoods and remain silent about the evil of guns?
We live in the most violent country in the world. No one kills more Americans than other Americans. And although we are only 13 percent of the nation’s population, we account for better that 40 percent of gun deaths. The starting point for attacking this gun culture is a change in attitude. The beliefs that owning a gun makes you a man and is a symbol of freedom is downright psychotic.
Neither manhood nor freedom comes from the barrel of a gun. And we are not talking theory. As a matter of actual fact the only things coming from guns in America today are robberies, burglaries, rapes and murders. And disproportionately we are the victims.
As such, we, as a people interested in survival, should be in the forefront of local and national efforts to ban the ownership of handguns. We must support politicians who will make a stand against the gun lobby. In the 21 century, gun ownership is down right uncivilized.
Do not allow false phrase mongering to destroy the Black race. When someone says “If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns” tell them they are speaking foolishness. From Canada to a host of European countries, every where guns have been banned both violence and deaths are reduced. Secure, civilized nations are no-gun nations. What can anyone do with an assault rifle but kill innocent people?
The simple fact is that America is neither secure nor civilized and never will be as long as there are between 60 million and 100 million guns floating around this nation.

Do MA'AT and Live!
Do MA'AT and Live!
Ma'at is a ancient afro-centric term originating from the fundamental principles of ancient Egyptian Spirituality.
Note: The original name for Egypt was "Kemet" which means "The Black Land" or "Land of The Blacks". After the Greek invasion in 332 B.C.E., the name was then changed to Egypt.
Ma'at is the hightest and oldest form of Kemetic Spirituality. It is the fundamental principle of the divine, natural and social order establish by Ra (God) at the time of creation. Ma'at is that which the Creator loves and requires, and humans love and request. Ma'at is the very essence of the Creator/Creatress. (principle of duality) It is also the basis of the existing relationship between the Creator and the creation. In other words, everything that the Crerator/Creatress is, so are we. We are born with all the essential necessities to become complete human beings according to the requirements of the Crerator.
As Dr. Maulana Karenga suggest: The human nature is endowed by Ra (God) and is essentially good, for it is in his likeness. Therefore, there is no need for religious transformation like conversion or salvation. The divine nature is already there, it simply has to be cultivated through teaching followed by practice. Moreover,then, there is no conception`of original sin or existenial defect as partrayed by Judeo-Christian anthropology. That is to say, one is not born in sin, but in the context of posibility. Therefore offenses to Ra (God), humans (fellow man), and nature can be corrected by teaching and self-corrective practice and do not require confession and conversion, or divine grace to an unworthy and inherently sinful being.
Understanding Ma'at allows us to be able to transend to the highest level of spirituality. One must first "KNOW" who they are in light of their relationship with the Creator/Creatress, and not what someone else has said they are!
In summation the manifestation of Ma'at is partrayed through these seven (7) cardinal virtues: Truth, Justice, Righteousness, Harmony, Balance, Reciprocity, and Order. This should be our acclamated goal. To strive for excellence in all we do so that no fault can be found in our character.
There must be an established common unity between the Creator and the creation. To be truly righteous is to be one with Ra (God) and to share in his spiritual essence. "Know thy self" then you will know the Creator.
Without Ma'at, the world and the universe as we know it will cease to exist. The seven (7) cardinal virtures or principles of Ma'at mentioned above in operation causes everything in the universe to remain in it's proper place. The disruption of any of these principles will result in chaos in the universe as well as our personal lives. Therefore, it is crucial that we understand and implement these principles daily. Let's examine them briefly:
Truth = The supreme reality based on actual facts proven by the presentation of evidence. "Truth is a reality, not a belief system".
Justice = The upholding of righteousness and fair treatment to the highest standard of morality.
And thus, Justice is given to one who does what is loved and punishment is given to one who does what is hated. (The Book of Knowing the Creations)
Righteousness = Living in truth, acting in justices. Life itself can be understood or viewed as motion or movement. It began at birth, and ends at death. One cannot reach the end without a means or vehicle. Thus, righteousness is the vehicle of life with truth as the guide and justice as the steerimg wheel.
Act righteously for the Lord of righteousness whose righteousness is righteousness indeed. When goodness is good it is truly good. Surely righteousness is for eternity. It goes to the grave with those who do it. When they are buried and the earth envelops them, their name is not erased from the face of the earth. They are remembered because of their goodness. For this is a principle established by the word of God. Speak right and do right. For righteousness is mighty. It is great; it endures; its worth is real and it leads one to blessedness. Wrongdoing does not achieve its goal, but one who is righteous reaches dry land. (Book of Khun-Anup VIII)
Harmony = The act of abiding in agreement. Sharing the same interest. A strong sense of togetherness. Another word for harmony is unity.
Balance = A weighing device to determine the weight of one object as oppose to another to establish a equilibrium. Balance is also defined as a state of mental, phychological, or emotional stability. When one experiences difficulties in their lives, the first reaction is to fine someone to blame. The painful reality is that whatever difficulties, problems, or situations that arise in our lives is caused by something we did or did not do which created a imbalance.
Reciprocity = Derives from the word Reciprocal which gives reference to two or more persons or things interchangeable or complementry to each other. Something performed, experienced, or felt by both sides. The ability to give and receive mutually, or for one to take the place of another. Therefore, we can define Reciprocity as "A mutual cooperative relationship.
Order = A process or method by which something takes place. A logical or comprehensible arrangement of something so that proper functioning may be achieved. Like harmony and balance, any disruption of order results in chaos. Order then is proper arrangement.
Ma'at teaches without order, there can be no harmony. Without harmony, there can be on balance. Without balance, there can be no reciprocity. The foundation of these principles are Truth, Justice, and Righteousness.
Live Ma'at, Do Ma'at, Speak Ma'at and the divine blessing of life will overtake you.

Black Independent Women Need Black Men
This is one of my responses to Ms. Rheema Ellis, NBC Reporter series on Black Women the week of November 26-30th 2007. My heart goes out to you. I could see the pain and joy on your face and in your voice. You and NBC are doing a great job with this series. I needed to hear from those women as a divorced 40 year old Black African American Man.
I am working to implement a plan to improve the Black man, Black Woman and Black Family. Black Love must be our common bond. A degree or job can never replace a Black man, neither can a White or Hispanic Man. Therefore I offer this idea to solve the problem. Serious Black Men and Black Women should form Bi-monthly meetings where they talk about a topics regarding relationship: These groups should be no more than 20 people per group. They can be held at a local school, church or community center on Saturday Mornings from 8-10 AM. The topics should be the same for each group each month. However, the second meeting should be mixed, where men listen and not talk. The following month's mix meeting women must listen and not talk. One requirement is that you must have spent the previous month listening before you can talk at the mixed meeting. Why this idea. Black men and Black Women have never been taught how to honestly communicate with each other.
Ms. Ellis, I believe that you could establish and become the spokesperson for such an effort.
Black men love Black Women! Black Women have helped to restore our humanity after racism repeated takes it away. Our pride and ego often gets in the way of our common sense. To answer the question, when did things start to go down for Black People, it correlates with integration and desegregation.
Thank you so much for helping to shed a light on Black Women.
Black Independent Women Need Black Men
After watching the full interview online that aired on Wednesday, November28, 2007, I felt the need to respond by posting a blog. I try not to post anything just for the sake of blogging. I felt compelled to address several issues raised by Ms. Ellis and her panel of Black Women. First let me state for the record, that I Love Black African American People unconditionally. I may not always agree with some of the inappropriate behavior that some Black people engage in, but I have an understanding of why. Black Women, we love you! We need you! We respect and appreciate you! One the other hand, we abuse you! We disrespect you! We abandon you!
It would talk Dr. Alvin Puissant or Dr. Ray Hagins (http://wwww.wblr.com/) to fully explain why we hate the very thing we love. Black women have been the stable rock of the family, because the Black Man was systematically attacked. I know! Black Women don’t want to hear No excuses. They believe that they made it in this racist society and life ain’t been easy for them either. They are right. It is time for Black Men to get over our excuses about Racism. Our women perceive us as weak, because we stopped fighting for them and our families. Racist and racism will always exits, but we don’t have to let it control our behavior and lives. Live free or die trying! That means spending some time learning about healthy Black Relationships and practicing what we learn. Black Men have time to give. Give it to Black Women and Black Children. When we change our behavior, we will earn their love and respect. As many Black Men know, there ain’t no feeling like being loved by a Black Women.
Let me suggest this to Black Women. The reason you can not walk away from your children is because they imprinted themselves on your soul during pregnancy and after birth. Men must be required to spend a minimum of three hours per day with their child between birth and six months. They must change the diapers, feed, bathe, rock to sleep, play with, provide love when the cry and allow their souls to be imprinted. Once this bonding occurs, it will be difficult for him to walk away from his child/ ren.
Black Women must also learn about the Black Man. He is a unique and different human being, uniquely shaped by his history and that of his father, grandfather, great-grandfather. He is born with gifts, talents and aspirations that this racist society does everything to destroy. Because there are few or no strong Black Communities with Strong Black Leaders, he is prepared in elementary and middle school to be hunted for the Prison Industrial Complex. He has a value of $30,000 per year to a private prison. In a racist system that will not spend $10,000 per year for four years to educate him. Black Men and Black Women must be retrained and reeducated to love each other, or the racist plan will have worked and we will turn away for the Black African American Race. We dishonor our ancestors when we knowing or unknowing seek love, respect and affirmation outside of our race.
There is something almost magical about the Love of a Black Woman and a Black Man. It’s a Power that transcends time and space. If you’ve seen it, you know it. You enjoy being in it presence. That’s the spiritual and cosmic bond of a Black Man and a Black Woman in love.
Much Respect!

Do Black Colleges and Universities Teach Black Consciousness?
Consciousness is an awakening of the mind. A Black Consciousness is an awakening of the mind to Black history, culture and conditions of Black People. A Black Consciousness is created through exposure to information, such a book entitled: Black Labor White Wealth and PowerNomics written by Dr. Claud Anderson, The Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys by Dr. J. Kunjufu, The Miseducation of the Negro by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, The Destruction of Black Civilization by Dr. Chancellor Williams, Africa and The New World Order by Dr. John Henrik Clarke, How Western Religions Underdeveloped African Civilizations by Professor James Small, Education for Liberation Message by Dr. Leonard Jefferies and so many others. A Black Consciousness allows a Black Person to develop a group identity, a positive self esteem and a desire to use their God given talents to uplift and empower their people.
Black Colleges and Universities should be exposing students to this information, if they expect to develop Black Leaders in all fields of study who will make a change in the Black Community. Students can not demand a true education if they think what they are already getting is one. I challenge all Black Students to read Black Labor White Wealth and The Miseducation of a Negro. Those two books will prick your conscious and create a new awareness of your Blackness and why it is important for this society to keep you unconscious and asleep in the Matrix. Black Students represent the hopes and aspirations of those who were not able to attend college. Those you left behind in you small towns or cities. If you education is about the “I got to get minds mentality” then you will never be any good to your family or your community. Black Students should demand to have at least one required course before graduation that will help you understand Black History Prior to white enslavement, racism, discrimination, prejudice, the justice system and what are current struggles for equality, justice and economic justice is all about. I know that it is fashionable to be stupid about such matters to some college students and that saddens me. Especially when administrators from my undergraduate reponded to me with statements like this: "We had a Voluntary Black Studies Course and had to cancel it because no or too few Black Students would sign up for it".
I hope Black College Students are not too asleep to understand what is happening in America in 2007. If they understood what happened in 1907, 1947, 1957, 1967 and 1987 then they would get it. A Miseducation prepares one to get a job, but a Conscious Education prepares one to lead a people and a nation. Which one are you or your children or grandchildren being prepared for?

Two Jesus in Jena, LA Separate and Unequal
Jena 6 District Attorney Reed Walters said the demonstration had no influence on his decision not to press the adult charges, and ended his news conference by saying that only God kept the protest peaceful. "The only way — let me stress that — the only way that I believe that me or this community has been able to endure the trauma that has been thrust upon us is through the prayers of the Christian people who have sent them up in this community," Walters said. "I firmly believe and am confident of the fact that had it not been for the direct intervention of the Lord Jesus Christ last Thursday, a disaster would have happened. You can quote me on that."
It appears that the cat is out of the bag! Just as a majority of the Black and White Churches remain segregated on Sunday Morning, so is the “Jesus Christ” they worship. White Folks believe that their Jesus is White, and they get a special feeling from knowing that their God is White. Black Folks believe that their Jesus is White, except for a few who have tried to take the bible’s description of him and make him Black. The majority of Black Christians believe the image given to them by Whites who enslave their ancestor in America. That Enslavement Process of Black People removed from them, their consciousness their own God Concept of “Amen Ra or God”.
The truth is that the concept of Jesus Christ was MADE UP by Roman Catholic Church. He was never a real person, despite the fabricated lies written in that great fictional literary master peace and that Number One All-Time-Best Selling Book, The Holy Bible”. It was based upon earlier concept of a Savior stolen from Kemet or Ancient African Egyptians. I’m no expert, but Dr. Ray Hagins is http://www.wblr.com/ and he has proof on CDs, Cassettes, Research Paper and DVDs. You can listen to his teachings for free at his website http://www.wblr.com/ , IF you want to break your religious programming.
Therefore, white folks can keep worshiping their White Jesus Christ and Black Folks can keep worshiping their White or Black Jesus Christ. It does seem to me that White Folks Jesus Christ from a group perspective might be showing White Folks a lot of Favoritism and Benefits that Black Folks Jesus Christ. Even though I reverence Amen Ra as a Black God, I will never lose my ability to think as a Conscious Black Afrikan Man in the collective interest of Black African People wherever they live.
So those of you who get happy for small victories, White Racism is about to reload in Jena, LA those Black People who live there and across the United States of America for the rest of us. I offer The Quiet Resolution (TQR) http://tqrbe.blogspot.com/ as a National Black Empowerment Plan and invite everyone to read it and give you’re your feedback. It’s about Black Love, Black Empowerment and Black Self-Sufficiency. All it will take is a “Love Offering”J.

The Black Political Card
Dear Black African American People
I have completed the Black Political Card with a series of 10 Questions and a process for enteracting with politicians, regardless of who they are and how long they have been in office.

Please share this information with your family and Friends.
The Black Political Card

Can Black People Protect Black Children? No
Test Case: The Jena Six (Jena, LA)
By
Charles E. Campbell, 1BAMO
American Injustice for Black People is rising. Black People should have bailed those children out of jail and gotten them competent Legal Representation. Governor Blanco is white and can be expected to do for Black Children in Jena, LA, what she did for Black People in New Orleans, LA during Katrina. "Nothing"
If we as Black People have no ability to protect our children from Racist and their behavior, what hope is there for our Race? Injustice against Black People in Jena, LA, is an injustice to Black People everywhere.

If we as Black People have no ability to protect our children from Racist and their behavior, what hope is there for our Race? Injustice against Black People in Jena, LA, is an injustice to Black People everywhere.
Six Black Jena High students, Robert Bailey (17), Theo Shaw (17), Carwin Jones (18), Bryant Purvis (17), Mychal Bell (16) and an unidentified minor, were expelled from school, arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. The first trial ended last month, and Mychal Bell, who has been in prison since December, was convicted of aggravated battery and conspiracy to commit aggravated battery (both felonies) by an all-white jury in a trial where his public defender called no witnesses. During his trial, Mychal's parents were ordered not to speak to the media and the court prohibited protests from taking place near the courtroom or where the judge could see them.

Why haven’t I heard any of our prominent Black Politician, Preachers, Athletes, Actors, Black Billionaires / Millionaires stand up, speak out and take some positive action to protect these Black Children? The answer to this question is that these children don’t benefit them. Not politically, financially, personally or professionally! They don’t see the opportunity to gain anything by standing up for justice. That is sad. I believe Dr. Claud Anderson, Founder of The Harvest Institute, when he says that Black People in America are in trouble because our leadership keeps playing silly games.
I ask that you question every Black Politician, Preacher, Athlete, Actors, Billionaire / Millionaire who come before you at your local, state or national level, what is their stand on the Injustice taking place in Jena, LA and what they plan to do about it. At a minimum, they should sign the online petition, make a small donation and write a letter to the United State and Louisiana State Attorney General Offices.
Nobody is going to protect our children, but us, save our children, but us, empower our children but us. So far, in this case we must do better. The Jena Six is a major test case! Hear me well. If they are allowed to perpetrate and get away with this injustice, then Black People will witness the turning back of the hands of time to the late 19th and early 20th Century in terms of Injustices done to Black People. Today it’s the Jena Six, tomorrow; it could be your city with a number. Wake up you sleeping Giant!
Respect!

An Anatomy of Black Father and Son Relationships
By
Charles E. Campbell, LSW, MSW
A Black Father Definition: This is a Black man who constantly gives his children advice and tells them of his mistakes in order to help them be better men and women. This is a black man who sticks by his children although they may not always take his advice and end up in trouble. (Definition is From the Urban Dictionary)
A Black Father is much more. Black men and their sons should have a strong relationship. We want to produce a carbon copy of ourselves. Without sufficient planning father- son relationship start to go wrong. Having a son is an awesome responsibility. It takes money, time, patients and love. In order to get money for all his son’s needs, he first must have an education or some skill to earn a living. Without adequate skills, his opportunities are limited and criminal behavior becomes an option, justified by the need to take care of his responsibilities. If he is too young to be a father, then he will not spend much time with his son, except to show him off to his friends on occasion. When a son is born they demand that a father spend time with them. Without and adequate bonding between father and son, the father feels no obligation to his son and can abandon him without much thought or care. This is a devastating moment of rejection and will produce an anger, resentful son and who need to feel loved by a father. Black boys who group without a father have greater chances of falling in there pitfalls of drugs, crime and teen pregnancy. He has a need to proved that he is much more of a man than his father ever was or will be, without understanding the pressures that led the his father abandoning him. Thus the cycle continues when he leaves his own son and justifies it by walking away.
It is our responsibility to raise our young boys to become responsible men. It is impossible for young boy to become something that he is never seen or interacted with in any meaningful way. How can they become strong Black men, if they know none. Black men on TV and the pros don't count. Being a black father takes a lot of patience. It is not easy to raise a Blacks son, especially when they reached the ages of 14 through 17. They will assert their independence, challenge your authority and break your rules. But if you could show them love and discipline they will be successful in life. This is the hardest part for Black Fathers raising sons in the 21st century. We as Black men are under attack by this system and our sons under attack by the same system. They are being Mis-educated and prepared for incarceration. We must show them the way and lead by example. We must learn to educate them, employ them, nurture them and support their dream.
Here's how we do that. In every town and city where black men exist we must come together and have one place where we set aside one day of the month. Let's call it Third Saturday. On that day, every church, Fraternity, Black professional organization and Black men will pool their dollars and bring Black boys to a specific location and engage them in education, sports, entertainment, fun and empowerment. We will provide them with breakfast and lunch. We will group them by their dreams and aspirations with Black men involved in those professions. For example, all Black boys, wanting to play professional sports will be linked with formal athletes. The goal is to have First Thursday become just as popular as First Fridays, but with the different purpose. We are failing our Black Boys as Black men and we must do more. We are their role models, their protectors, the greatest cheer leaders. They are our present and our future.
Each Black man in that community will voluntarily contribute $10 per month for the purpose of funding Third Saturday, whether they have boys or not. Every community should set a goal of 50 to 100 Black men contributors. The goal is to raise between ten and fifteen thousand dollars each year. Those funds would be used to purchase land, equipment and to pay for activities that the boys participate in. Where there is the will, there is the way, but when there is no will, there are excuses. If Black men are not satisfied with the condition and status of Black Boys, but hear this call to action. This can be done without any federal, state, county or city funds. At some point we must stand up and be leaders, which mean getting it up off our knees and stop begging other people for money to do that which we know needs to be done for ourselves. If Black men are on their knees begging, they why do we to tell Black Boys to stop sagging. Both behaviors are inappropriate and leave a negative image of Black men and Black boys in the minds of others.

The NAACP Funeral For The Word nigger
Nigger Ain't Dead, So Stop Trying To Bury It
The disconnection between young adults who use the word nigger and those of us who understand the real intent of that word is great. They have no understanding of the real history behind that word. The NAACP at their national meeting in Detroit, MI, would have made better use of their borrowed dollars by creating a national campaign to education young adults about the hurt behind that word nigger and suggesting alternative words to replace it.
Let's be real! Black People continue to suffer from Post Traumatic Slavery Syndrome and we don't even know it. Our leadership is pimping us at every level from the church pulpits to the seats of power at every level of political office. The NAACP is in my cross hairs because they had the nerve to spend time, money and energy during their National Meeting sponsoring a silly funeral for the word nigger and get this, they used Black Roses. That's an example of PTSS and a form of self-hatred. Why not white roses? I recommend that the entire NAACP Board be replaced and the leadership in the organization resign. If the conditions of Black Afrikan People living in America is any indication of Black Leadership, then we would be better off without it.
Let me say that Black Religious Institutions, Social Organizations, Professional Organizations and Business Leaders are not doing much to address the suffering of Black People either. We are too busy being busy. The majority of our Black Institutions were created in the early 20th Century with programs to uplift and empower us. We are in the 21st Century and many of their program have not changed and the generations who benefited from the gains of the 60s and 70s are retiring and have shut the door. We are locked in the Matrix and don't even know it.
Some of our young adults may cause us pain and hurt because they use words that still resonate with some of us, but many of them are hurting themselves and they are angry because they see our foolishness and inappropriate behavior. Until we start to respect, protect, educate and empower them, they are well within their rights to define their generation and it's language, relationships and music.
I personally do not agree with the use of the word nigger and will try to explain to young adults the pain behind those words, if they will listen. Yet, I recognize that they don't care about what I think, until I show them how much I care about them. Life is not easy for our young adults and we are doing nothing to empower them systematically. Majority Black Schools are failing, drugs is the primary economic development that offers them opportunity based on their abilities to work and their parents are too busy surviving to parent.
I have a message to those of you who sit in your churches, on your jobs, in your homes, running businesses, leading organizations and doing absolutely nothing for Black Afrikan American People. You's a nigger! And Ain't no fake funeral gon' bury the word, if you don't change your that inappropriate behavior.

Dr. King's Children's Inappropriate Behavior
Dr. King’s Children’s Inappropriate Behavior
I am truly grateful for the struggle that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. waged on the behalf of Black Afrikan People. I was born in the Mississippi Delta and benefited from his struggle. Because he was, I am. I will always respect him. He gave his life for what he believed. Only a few Committed Black Afrikan Leaders have embraced that quality. New Black Afrikan American Leadership must embrace a philosophy that empowers us to fight for the liberation and empowerment of our people and if we make our transition (death), as Dr. King did or in the manner in which Rosa Parks did, then both are equally welcomed. Liberation and Empowerment of Black Afrikans People or death should be the new battle cry of Black Afrikan American Leadership.
I was listening to a local religious show, where a taped message of the Honorable Minister Farrakhan was being aired on Sat. April 1, 2006, in Columbus, Ohio on WVKO AM Radio. Minister Farrakhan made a statement that sadden me and cause me to critically think. He stated that after the death of Coretta Scott King, the late wife of Dr. King, the King Children invited four White American Presidents to her funeral. He went on to state that he noticed that Harry Belafonte, a long time close and personal family friend of the King Family was not there. He stated that he spoke with Mr. Belafonte sometime later and Mr. Belafonte explained that the King Children had someone representing them to contact him and disinvited him to speak, stating that a mistake had been made. That person told Mr. Belafonte that he could still attend the funeral, but he would not be allowed to speak. Therefore, he chose not to come and this hurt him tremendously.
According to Minister Farrakhan, it was Harry Belafonte who, after Dr. King was murdered, who helped raise funds to pay off the Kings House and consistently sent the family money. He went on to say that the children knew him as their “Uncle Harry”, because of his generous financial support. At that point, I got angry and feel hurt, almost as if I felt they had insulted and disrespected Black Afrikan People. Mr. Belafonte who is a critic of the illegal Iraq War and he has publically criticized Bush for his neglect of Black People. No motive was given by Minister Farrakhan for their decision to disinvite Mr. Belafonte to speak, but it was disrespectful of Dr. King’s Children, who wanted to be in the presence of those four white men, who would not otherwise give them the time of day. In return for this honor for their mother, they disrespected a man who is partly responsible for their maintaining a stable family after Dr. King’s death.
I have always admired and respected Mr. Belafonte on and off the big screen. In light of the infighting, the sell of the King Center to the government and the lack of leadership ability that I’ve seen, the King Children's their behavior does not surprise me. They demonstrate that leadership abilities cannot be inherited. These presidents have done nothing significant to improve the conditions of Black Afrikan People in America.
It is my personal opinion that Dr. King’s Children are not fit to lead a parade in their own father’s honor, if this is true. They have allowed their mother’s death to show their true nature. I do not plan to give them the respect that is due to their father. Harry Belafonte is a Conscious Race Man, who stands against injustice and corrupt leaders, whose policies are a seriously hurting Black Afrikan American People or maintaining them in the conditions in which they currently exist.
Immigrants are protesting and demanding their rights to citizenship. How ironic? The anniversary of the Murder of Dr. King by this government, and not one of those four white men who were invited to speak have considered reopening the investigation of this government’s hand in Dr. King’s murder. Many of the rights that Dr. King fought for are being challenged and eliminated. The Voting Rights Law, was a compromise, which only requires Black Afrikan Americans and their descendants voting rights be renewed every 25 years. That is A DAM SHAME! Immigrants, upon receiving their citizenship never will have their any of their rights renewed. If Dr. King’s Children are truly their father’s children, they should try to complete their father’s unfinished business. The King Family Bloodline is no more than genetics. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be ashamed of your inappropriate behavior.
Much Respect to Mr. Harry Belafonte,

Black Liberation Television (BLTV)
Black Liberation Television (BLTV)
The Time Is Now Got Dam It! (For Effect)
By
Charles E. Campbell
In Spirit and Legacy of the Honorable Marcus M. Garvey, I offer a simple proposal. Black Liberation Television (BLTV) is an idea whose time has come. BLTV would consist of one cable channel broadcasting in seven languages. They would be English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Ghanaian, and Swahili. BLTV will be unique because it will uplift and empower Black Afrikan People and People of Afrikan Descent around the world. That is the global vision. I have always believed that one should start small and grow. My idea of small is a bit larger than most.
BLTV should be owned by Black Afrikan People and operated in the interest of Black People of Afrikan Descent. That is a hard concept for most Black Afrikan People to understand, even among those of us who consider ourselves conscious. Capitalism is all about selfish greed. Many Black Afrikan People have been taught capitalism and will want to bring that ideology to BLTV. That will not be allowed to happen.
It will require extraordinary courage and sacrifice to implement this proposal. Some people will even lose their life and livelihood. This proposal is a true test of Black People of Afrikan Descents’ collective strength, courage and will. “Up You Mighty Race, Accomplish What You Will”, said the Honorable Marcus Garvey. I say, “Where There Is A Will, There’s A Way, But Where There Is No Will, There Are Excuses”. So, let me start by talking about some of the expected excuses and offer some solutions to them.
Excuse #1: Some Black People of Afrikan Descent don’t trust other Black People of Afrikan Descent.
Solution: Black Afrikan Americans through the enslavement, deconstruction, jim crow and affirmative re-action periods have been taught to mistrust, hate, mistreat, abuse and kill each other. Those individuals, who cannot STOP this inappropriate behavior, will not be allowed to participate with BLTV! Similar processes have been implemented around the world on People of Afrikan Descent. They too must stop! We don’t want nor need their time, effort or money. Therefore, if you are one of those, please leave BLTV alone and BLTV will leave you alone.
Excuse #2: Some Black People of Afrikan Descent don’t think that BLTV can never be done.
Solution: That’s A Lie! The Honorable Marcus Garvey with his UNIA and The Greenwood Community of Tulsa, Oklahoma (Black Wall Street) achieved unbelievable economic success. Black Afrikans in America number between 38 and 45 million people who generate and estimated 700 to 800 Billion Dollars each year. We simply have lacked the Leadership and Will to do for ourselves after the Trick of Desegregation. If individuals can start BET, Black Family Channel and TVOne, imagine what a collective of Committed Black Afrikan People from around this world can achieve.
Excuse #3: The U.S. Government will not allow us to do this.
Solution: We will do it anyway! It is not illegal to start a broadcasting company in the U.S. or South Africa, Ghana or Nigeria. The worst thing they can do is kill us and they are already doing that. (Poor Health Care, No Health Care, Drugs, Alcohol, Guns, Incarceration, Genocide, Iraq Wars, Aids, Bird Flu, Man Made Natural Disaster like Hurricane Katrina Orleans, LA, and Sudan, Afrika) So all weak-kneed Negroes need not step forward. Stay safe, comfortable, and away from BLTV.
Excuse #4: Where are we going to get the money?
Solution: From Black Afrikan People in the United States, Afrikan Countries and from around the world. Here is how we fund BLTV. Everyone will have an opportunity to make a one-time contribution at his or her financial level of comfort. The support level goals are as follows:
100 People to contribute 1 Million Dollars = 100 Million Dollars
200 People to contribute 500,000 Dollars= 100 Million Dollars
400 People to contribute 250,000 Dollars= 100 Million Dollars
667 People to contribute 150,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
1,000 People to contribute 100,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
2,000 People to contribute 50,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
4,000 People to contribute 25,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
10,000 People to contribute 10,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
20,000 People to contribute 5,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
50,000 People to contribute 2,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
100,000 People to contribute 1,000 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
200,000 People to contribute 500 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
400,000 People to contribute 250 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
800,00 People to contribute 125 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
1.5 Million People to contribute 67 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
2 Million People to contribute 50 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
4 Million People to contribute 25 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
10 Million People to contribute 10 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
20 Million People to contribute 5 Dollars=100 Million Dollars
Our goal is to generate 100 Million Dollars to launch and operate BLTV. I realize that the majority of Black Afrikan People might only be able to contribute at a lower level, but every dime counts. Contribute at your level and do not plan to write your contributions off on your taxes, if you are contributing from the United States.
Now that I have addressed most of the excuses, here is the plan. Oh! For those of you who believe that The Quiet Resolution (TQR) (http://www.tqrbe.blogspot.com ) will not be televised, think again. BLTV will televise the truth about everything including The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. So, if this idea scares you, be afraid. Be very afraid!
It will take our collective energy, money, intellect, skills and talents to implement this BLTV. Therefore, I challenge every Historical Black College and University Student, every Afrikan College and University Student, every Black Writer, Producers, Director, Actor, Camera Person, Technician, Black Professionals and Nonprofessionals of Afrikan Descent to support this proposal, regardless of your religious, philosophical, economic, social, political or ethnic background. We must own and control a media that examines true Black Afrikan History and Culture and current events from our perspective. We must begin to write and produce multimedia projects for Black Liberation Television (BLTV). We must also begin to tell our stories uncensored by anyone, include ourselves. We must begin to expose the truth about our history, culture, experiences, hopes, dreams and aspirations from a Conscious Black Afrikan Perspective and Worldview.
What You Must To Do Next?
Suppose you read this proposal and think that it is a Great Idea. Here is what you do.
Step 1: Tell everyone you know about it. Email a link to http://www.1bamo.blogspot.com to everyone you know. If you speak a different language, you have my permission to translate it into that language and publish this proposal in every newspaper, magazine, Internet discussion group that will allow it.
Step 2: Email me at wbsbpd88@hotmail.com. I want your feedback and your level of planned commitment. You will be provided with instruction and a time to contribute your financial support.
Step 3: A Business Plan will be developed with time-lines, which include hiring a Conscious Management Team to implement BLTV. Trust is not optional, it is Mandatory.
Step 4: The launch of Black Liberation Television (BLTV) will be on January 1, 2007 in English, French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Ghanaian, and Swahili.
BLTV will be owned by the Black Afrikan World Community and will never be sold, influenced nor controlled by anyone other than Consciously Committed Black Afrikans who will risk their life for Truth and Justice. Anyone connected in anyway to Black Liberation Television (BLTV) who attempts to exploit Black Liberation Television (BLTV) for their own selfish or greedy personal benefit or someone else’s benefit, must understand that they do so with the understanding that they, Give Black Afrikan People Permission To Take Their Life. This implied agreement should deter 99% of the people from trying to sabotage BLTV from within. The other 1% will try to stop BLTV from the outside. They will include agents of various governments.
Black Empowerment is not for the weak of mind, spirit and heart, because it could and most likely will cost you your life, but your sacrifice will help us create a better world for your children to live in. We were born to die, but what we choose to do with our life will make the difference for the next generation of Black People of Afrikan Decent.

Black Educated Foolishness Must Stop!
Black Educated Foolishness Must Stop!
Written by
Charles E. Campbell, One Black Afrikan Man’s Opinion (1 BAMO)
First, I want to acknowledge that I am a proud member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. I pledged at Jackson State University and participate with my graduate chapter in Columbus, Ohio. I want to acknowledge all the Black Greek Sororities, Fraternities, Professional and Nonprofessional Organizations who are doing great things in their communities. We are that group that W. E. B. DuBois called the “Talented Tenth”. That group who was supposed to lead the Black Race. It was a wonderful idea, but today, we are a Collective Group of Unconscious Black Mis-Educated People, engaged in foolish inappropriate behavior. We don’t see ourselves as part of a collective group of Black Afrikan American People. We are caught up in the games of selfish materialism, ego driving consumerism and utter foolishness. We spend an enormous amount of time watching sports, having sex, using drugs, listening to music, climbing the corporate ladder and having a good time in order to maintain a healthy mental status, instead of working collectively and taking responsibility for the uplift and empowerment of OUR PEOPLE.
Here’s what we are doing wrong. As members of organizations, we collectively spend millions of dollars each year on conferences, hotel, travel, food, facility rental, marketing and printing in various cities. We have been doing this since the mid 20th Century. Our leadership is stuck in doing things the old way, because they are afraid their membership will reject them if they truly were to provide us with leadership. In many cases, they are correct, but true leadership takes backbone and courage. Many of them have their noses so far up the Butts of white people, that they are afraid to make any move without first smelling the strength of the white person’s fart. In other words, they are afraid that the white political and elite will not approve of them working toward the uplift and empowerment of their own people. That’s why most Black Leaders refused to meet together with each other and collectively discuss solutions to issues and problems relevant to the masses of Black Afrikan American People.
I’m not the first to say this nor will I be the last, but if we continue to remain silent, we bare the same responsibility as those who lead us. I have always tried to propose a solution, when I discuss Black Problems. Those of you who are brainwashed and conditioned to think about white folks problems, WAKE UP! Learn to love that which you can never change (Your Race).
One Of The Solutions: Black Economic Empowerment!
Our National Black Afrikan and Afrikan American Organizations must collectively create a for-profit International Organization with local branches where Black Social, Professional and Nonprofessional Organizations meet monthly collectively on a local level and attend a national conference every 5 years. All participating organizations must provide membership dues of $1,000 per year to the national and $500 to the local branches of the Organization specifically for the purpose of purchasing large hotels in cities that have a majority Black population first. Local branches will purchase facilities where they will collectively spend their money on programs that uplift and empower Black Afrikan American People.
If 100 Black Organizations pooled $1,000 per year, that would total $100,000 per year and $500 per year would total 50,000 at a local level. Now imagine 200 Black Organizations doing this. The average Black Organization Conference generates and average of 3 Million Dollars for the host city. The Host City must be willing go contribute 30% of the profits from those conferences back to that International Organization, who will redistribute 20% of those dollars back to the local branches. We could generate $300,000 for our own organizations. Currently, they pimp our leadership with free rooms, free food, free limo and free liquor and these Negroes actually think they are getting a great deal for their organizations. Their selfish egos are being stroked.
The first goal should be to Purchase and Operate one large hotel in a predominate Black Owned City. Starting in the year 2010, each national organization must schedule their next five conferences in that city. This financial system will effectively allow the local branches redistribute money back into their communities. That organization must have clearly identified programs that empower and uplift Black People.
One goal must be to support Historical Black and United Negro College Funded Colleges and Universities, and demand that they change their focus to include students working collective across various academic disciplines with the goal of developing products and services that Black Businesses can develop, manufacture, market, distribute and sell in all areas of commerce. Black People including Black Professionals Nonprofessionals, and Black Students must create a new model for self-sufficiency, self-empowerment and self-uplift. This would lead to 100% employment and Black Business Growth in our communities.
We must begin to seriously discuss the current situation of the Masses of Black Afrikan American People and do something about it. The Black Community is Hurting and we the so-called “Talented Tenth” must get up off our collective Asses and do something to uplift and empower them! If most of those pimping politicians and preachers were going to use their influence, position or resources to address Black People’s Collective Problems, they would be doing so already! So, don’t waste your time! They will have to follow our collective leadership or get the Hell Out-The Way!
Let me know what you think!
Respect!

How To Destroy, Steal and Kill Black People
How They Destroyed, Killed and are Stealing From Black People in New Orleans, LA?
New Orleans is a classic example of the so-called Christian Devil. A plan was devised, implemented and executed on Black People in New Orleans, LA. "They" and US government Corps of Engineers poorly constructed a level, which did not break when Hurricane Katrina hit as they expected. Therefore, they strategically bombed it next to the Lower Ninth Ward. This action killed many people and ethnically cleansed Black People from their neighborhood. Now they have developed an unethical, immoral and racist plan to legally steal the property. Follow the money and you will clearly see who "THEY" are.
In the book of made up stories, the bible, it describes an evil satin, as someone who comes but to steal, kill and destroy. They should have added Black Afrikan People to the end of that statement. I agree with that definition evil. Now judge who is currently and has historically behaved around the world in that manner.
To those Samboes, like Mayor Ray Nagins who left his people who he knew had no transportation and did nothing to help them until it was too late and who is allowing the blatant theft of Black Afrikan American People's Property, I say that you are a disgrace to the Black Race. However, to the Boule and Black Conservatist you are a role mode of how to mistreat Black People. Shame On you!
The White Media made Mayor Sambo Ray Nagin apologized for calling New Orleans a Chocolate City and he did. Shame On You Ray! The Whites People wanted to make it clear that New Orleans will never be a Black, Chocolate, Mulatto or any kind of other city that has a Black Afrikan American Population and thanks to Sambo Ray’s poor leadership on behalf of Black People.
