Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings. What an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon [white] influence. Look again at the extra employment a new country added to out dominion gives. I contend that every acre added to our territory means in the future of birth to some more of the English [white] race. Why should we not form a secret society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilized [non-white] world under British [white] rule? ..Jtis our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon [white] race, more the best most human, most honorable race this world possesses. (Kunjufu 2) In summary, racism is the prorogation of the white race at the expense of all others. Population Growth According to demographers, the American Black population growth has exceeded that of the American white population growth since 1950. (Final approaching that of the white popula tion level. According to UCLA soci ologist Walter Allen, “The question is to what extent whites will feel them selves threatened by what is some times called the browning of America. ” History shows us that the fears of the white society have always been trans lated into covert government action to ‘neutralize’ the object of that fear. In the words of President Truman, 'Hitler’s persecution of the Jews did much to awaken Americans to danger ous extremes to which prejudice can be carried if allowed to control government’s actions .’ With uncom mon perception, the President saw that the retention in mid-twentieth century of discriminatory barriers signified the maintenance of a springboard, and pres ervation of a target, for destruction. (Welsing 292) Environmental Racism The study. Toxic Wastes and Race in The United States, points out that communities of color ate where most of America’s places of poison are located. Some of the study’s findings are as follows: 1. Race proved to be the most influen tial among variables tested in associa tion with the location of commercial hazardous waste facilities. This repre sented a consistent pattern. 2. Communities with the greatest num ber of commercial hazardous waste fa cilities had the highest composition of “minority" residents. 3. Three out of every five Black and Hispanic Americans lived in communi ties with uncontrolled toxic waste sites. 4 .Blacks were heavily over-represented in the populations of metropolitan ar eas with uncontrolled toxic waste sites. It is public knowledge that in the 1930s through the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphillis in the Negro Male, 200 Black men were secretly inoculated with the most viru lent form of syphillis and were allowed to co-habit with Black women and were not allowed to be treated even when a cure was found in 1946. Call 12 Apr. 1990) According to an article in the Atlanta Constitution, the white U.S. population grew more slowly in the 1980s than in any decade since the Great Depression, but the popula tions of the U.S. “minorities” grew shaiply. The Black population grew 13.2 percent in comparison to the white population growth of about 3.6 per cent. The growth rate of Blacks was contributed mainly to high birthrates (Atlanta Constitution Mar. 11, 1991). Although whites as a whole remain the majority of the American population, the Black population level is quickly (Crises Magazine Apr. 1991) The results on the Black communities are diseases, lots of cancer, respiratory problems, birth deformities and death. Bio/Chemical Warfare It is becoming increasingly evident in medical circles that the AIDS virus is not a natural virus, but a man made virus. The AIDS Surveillance Report reported that the configuration is not natural but is man-made by the U.S. defense industry in conjunction with the World Health Organization. (Miles 8 )(Cooper,William 445-446) “Blacks are more affected by AIDS because of our lower OKT 4 cell count, thus making AIDS and ‘ethnic weapon’.(Miles8) According to statis tics from the Center for Disease Con trol, Black people are three times as likely to contract the AIDS virus than whites and AIDS is killing more Black people in New York than any other group. (WXIA 11 Alive News Extra May 1990) We should never think that the U.S. government is incapable of using dangerous poisons on chosen seg ments of society. We need only to look at the U.S. government’s history; It is replace him “in his role of leadership of the Negro people" with conserva tive, Black lawyer Samuel Pierce (later named to President Reagan’s cabinet). (Glick 4-50) Many have rightly come to the conclusion that the murders of both King and X were the product of covert operations by the U.S. govern ment. An FBI Counter Intelligence Program file, documents the U.S. gov ernments wicked actions against Black organization and leaders which they considered to be a threat to “national security”; The purpose of this new counterintelli gence endeavor is to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, of otherwise neu Barry of Washington D.C., Mayor Tom Bradley of Los Angeles, Ca., Mayor Ken Gipson of Newark, NJ., Mayor David Dinkins of New York, NY., Mayor Michael White of Cleveland, Oh., former Mayor Andrew Young of Atlanta, Ga., Mayor Coleman Young of Detroit, Mi. and Mayor Richard Arrington of Birmingham, Al. (CNN Special Report June 1991) Another fact which implicates the federal gov ernment is the fact that 50 percent of the Congressional Black Caucus members are or have been under federal ‘inves tigations.’ (CNN Special Report June 1991) Minister Louis Farrakhan whois one of the most popular and influential We must remember, that ‘our’ President, George Bush was the former CIA director, and the FBI used the “dirty tricks” of the CIA to “neutralize” Black organizations and the leaders through the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program, which is now named the “Anti-Terrorist Task Force” It should also be noted that ‘our’ current Presi dent, Mr. Bush campaigned for apartheid in America, being against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. public knowledge that General Amhorst oftheU.S. army, with government con sent, sent smallpox-infected blankets toNative Americans. It is public knowl edge that in the 1930s through the “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphi lis in the Negro Male”, 200 Black men were secretly inoculated with the most virulent form of syphilis and were al lowed to co-habit with Black women and were not allowed to be treated even when a cure was found in 1946. (Jet Mag. 1975) (Atlanta Constitution 14 Oct. 1990) A Salt Lake city newspaper reported in April of 1991 that the Army spread a dangerous chemical in the air in the 1950s to test its range and affect on humans. (Atlanta Constitution 14 Apr. 1991) In 1960 a polio epidemic was falsely claimed and millions of Americans were inoculated with an al leged polio vaccine, which turned out to be c contaminant called SV-40 which is cancer itself. (Gregory 1989) In 1960cancer was considered primarily a white problem, but now cancer has be come more of a problem in the Black community than ever. Along with all the afflictions the Black community is suffering, the marketing of alcohol and cigarettes by advertising agencies is disproportionately focused at Black youth. Assault on Black Leaders Black leaders throughout American history have always been tar geted forprosecution, investigation and many times assassination. The most popular cases of assassination of Black leadership were the murders of Malcolm X and Martin L. King. In the case of Malcolm X, the FBI boasted to have orchestrated the split between Malcolm X and his teacher the Hon. Elijah Muhammad, and said Malcolm’s mur der was due to” a factional dispute" which they took the credit for “devel- oping “ and carrying out with the aid of their agent provocateurs inside the Na tion of Islam. In the case of Martin L. King, who at one point was called “the most dangerous Negro in America" by the F.B.I., was the target of an elaborate FBI plot to drive him to suicide and tralize the activities of Black national ist, hate-type organizations and group ing, their leadership, spokesman, mem bership and supporters and to counter their propensity for violence and civil disorder... Intensified attention under this program should be afforded to the activities of such groups as the student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee [SNCC], the Southern Christian Lead- ershipConference [SCLC] .Revolution ary Action Movement, theDeaconsFor Defense and Justice, Congress of Ra cial Equality [CORE], and the Nation of Islam [NOI], ...Particular emphasis should be given to extremists who di rect the activities and policies of revo lutionary of militant groups. (FBI COINTELPRO 25 Aug. 1967) Most Black people are ignorant to the fact that the above mentioned program even exists, and many others who have seen the file with their own eyes, refuse to believe that ‘our government would plot against its own "American” citi zens' , because they are so wrapped up into being “An American in the [so- called] truest sense of the word and idea “ (The Maroon Tiger, Charles E. Hobbs. II 1 Nov. 1991), that they are blinded to the reality in which they live! Many whites who comment on the‘past’ gov ernment actions, contend that racist government officials such as the late J. Edgar Hoover, former FBI director, have long since been cleaned out. But judg ing for the facts of the present, the recalcitrance of the U.S. Government documented in times past is alive and well today. We must remember, that ‘our’ President, George Bush was the former CIA director, and the FBI used the “dirty tricks” of the CIA to “neutral ize” Black organizations and leaders through the FBI’s Counterintelligence Program, which is now named the “Anti-Terrorist Task Force”. It should also be noted that ‘our’ current President, Mr. Bush campaigned for apartheid in America-[Against the 1964 Civil Rights Bill}. The amount of Black elected officials and Black lead ers targeted of prosecution, raises many doubts as to whether the government has indeed “cleaned” up its act. Black mayors targeted by the federal govern ment for ‘investigation’ and prosecu tion are/were: former Mayor Marian leaders among Blacks and Whites in America (NewsWeek May 1991)isalso under federal ‘investigation’ by the government. It is well documented that the 1960 trialsof Black leaders achieved the ef fect that the FBI secretly intended; to “exhaust and demoralize” targeted lead ers and movements, “even if actual prosecution is not successful as far as convictions were concerned.” (Glick 20-35) Black Youth, Drugs, Gangs and Violence Some of the statistics which plague the Black community are as fol lows: nearly one of every four Black males in their 20s is either in prison, jail, on probation orparole. More Black males (609,00) are in the criminal jus tice system than all Black males in college (436,000). The homicide rate for Black males is at its highest of the decade: 85 per 100,000. Commenting on what is called by the media, the “plight of Black males” Dr. Francis Welsing gives an assessment of the situation; The chain of events begins with the denial of full scale employment and advancement to Black males so that they cannot adequately support them selves, their wives and their children. In turn, large numbers of Black male children grow up without their father’s guidance. This leads to frustration, depression and failure in school. Once this atmosphere is established, drugs are placed deliberately in the Black community. The drugs are then used to ‘street-treat’ Black frustration and depression. The [money] for which the drugs are sold provide the Black male population with the illusion that finally they are beginning to make some money and to share in the “American Dream.” Guns are then placed at the disposal of the same Black male persons, supposedly to aid them in enforcing drug sales. The strategy is quite simple, Black males kill and destroy one another and then carry the blame, very similar to how the U.S. govem- (Continued on Page 15)
