SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA – The Arrest of Louis Gates, the high achieving, Clarence Thomas demeanor[ed], Harvard Professor received another personal wake up call about life in white oppression. That Black people cannot ever afford to forget how brutal this experience happens to be, regardless of who you happen to be.
        The arrest of a Gates, in the home that he shares with his white wife and little children, is a warning alert to every Blackman in America who thinks for one minute that they “have it made.” Men of this fitra (disposition) also agree with rabid white men and women who say “there is no need for race based politics, now that we have a Black president.”
            Well, quiet as it may be kept; it is also a wake up call for President Barack Obama, himself. But Obama is so smart, no doubt, he needs no warning. Anyone who thinks he does need to be warned, or have not ALREADY felt the sting of racism, are probably also are of the mindset of others who don’t understand just how smart he had to be to become president – but that is another story.

WHEN GIVEN HALF A CHANCE

            The story here is that a small framed Blackman, born in West Virginia, went to the best of schools, excelled at what he does, because of the innate genius and drive that propel certain of us into levels in societies that cause one and most all to marvel and say “how did he get there?” Well the answer to that is simple:
            If just given half a chance, the Blackman will show and prove that the genes from his heritage are vouchsafed and subject to be exhibited anytime he or she is awakened. As was stated in my book, “The Words, Acts and Deeds of Khalifah 1982 to 1992” on page 262, in the article titled Every Conscious African in America is, was, or is potentially ‘ a Black Revolutionary Nationalist, it states: We are talking about America’s blessings:
            “Many of the highly intelligent and talented Africans in America have chosen NOT to relate to ‘the struggle’ on a personal life style altering basis. And most of the ones who do, turn to the ‘white man’ to finance their programs – writing proposals and other methods of begging.”

YES AMERICA HAS BEEN BLESSED

            “Yes, America has been blessed that, as a nation, it has not had to contend with the brains of such talents as Andrew Young, Thomas Bradley, Harold Washington, Paul Robeson, Jackie Robinson, etc. as physical opponents, who would have solved their financial needs in their work, for complete African redemption, with the Gun, rather than to sit down, using the pen, to write proposal to the government or others, for the money they needed to carry out and achieve their objectives – rather than use the gun.”
            The above was written in 1983. It is now 2009 so we have many other super achieving Blacks we can point to, whose aspirations for Black Freedom is, “in the system” that is based on this U. S. experience in white supremacy. We will not name any save Louis Gates and Clarence Thomas, but our point is, if these intelligent Black men and women had taken a more direct approach to “The Struggle” of Black people, America would have fallen some time ago.
            Luckily, the ‘brain drain” from the National Black Community can never get us all. And also, luckily, some of the DUMB white supremacist in America cannot resist “putting, this Black or that Black, no matter his achievements, or where he happens to be [like Justice Thurgood Marshall at well known black tie dinner story], some nitwit cannot contain his contempt black people and will let them know to them they are still just a n……..r!
