Additional Information

This is going to be an information post. As you all know, or should, I like to troll the news sites and wander through the postings to said sites. And Lawd have mercy, some of the things I do read.

Here's just one example I found today.

An 11-year-old girl was injured Sunday afternoon on the Far South Side of Chicago when she was struck in the arm by a stray bullet while she sat inside her home, watching TV.

And here's a few of the comments.

"she should have been doing homework in her room. TV is bad for her"

"look at the demographics...welfare state much"

"Another fine example of Dr. Kings legacy. I am sure he would be ashamed of what has become of blacks in America today. With all the drugs , driveby shootings and crime his words have been drown out ."

Now you have to remember that this is from ONE site. Have you Kneegroes considered that stories like the above go viral all over the Internet? Youtube Facebook and other social sites are not the only sites where a story can go viral. These stories are picked up by online news sources every day.

And do you know what the scary, freaky deaky part is? Depending on where you're reading something like this, these people who are making these insensitive racist remarks, just might be known to you in some capacity. You might work with them every day. They might be your neighbor. You will probably give their kids candy on Halloween. You probably speak to them when you're out shopping. The odds are pretty good that they might be your doctor or dentist or plumber or the smiling lady who is checking you in for your appointment.

Although, being a Black male, I have noticed lately that white women do not smile at Black men (unless they know he has money or a big tallywhacker).

You might be thinking... "paranoid much?"

Could be. Maybe. After all, I am a Fool.

On a separate note concerning my last post on Willie Lynch. I will be posting additional information, which is available HERE

Something Wicked This Way comes

The Fool hasn't been blogging of late. I was just feeling way too good. Up here on the hill the weather has been righteously good. Not to mention that I have been submerged in some real "old skool music." I'm not talking about 20 years ago. I'm talking back in the day. The Impressions, Curtis Mayfield, Lou Rawls, Brenda and the Tabulations and the Dells is what is known as old skool. Get my meaning?

While the smooth sounds of Jerry Butler was floating through the air and the Tree wavering along with the melody, I was considering whether or not to publish my next post. It's somewhat controversial. History usually is.

If you've heard of the Willie Lynch letter then you know what I'm talking about. Some of you know about it and have read it. Some of you have heard about it, but never read it. Then, there are those of you who think that it doesn't even exist and if it does it's a complete fabrication. Whatever.

The Fool considers the Willie Lynch Letter a part of history, our history and it's not very pretty. The Big Giant Heads would have us deny it's existence. The BGHs would have us deny our history... period. And some of you Kneegroes go along with this. Just let me clear up a couple of things here and then I'll shut up and let you read.

Black people were not standing on the shores of Africa with placards saying: "Take me to America" and "I'm for sale". They did not paddle out to the ships and try to climb aboard.

The surnames of Jones, Washington, Johnson and other Judeo Christian, German and Irish surnames did not exist in Africa. Black people, to this day, still bear the surnames of their slave masters. Wrap your heads around that one. You did not have an ancestor running around Africa some 300 odd years ago named Akeem Jefferson.

And one more thing. When Big Giant Heads ask you, as a Black person where did you come from or where did you get your last name from… which I consider two of the most insipid, moronic, asinine, racist, mean, ignorant, insensitive and just plain goddamned stupid questions you could ask a Black person, why don't you tell the truth? It was the surname of the people who owned your family. There. I said it. And you stupid Kneegroes wear it with pride. No wonder Africans laugh at you.

The Fools mind is about to go on vacation, so before it leaves, go ahead and read the Willie Lynch Letter and make up your own minds. And one last note.(I promise.) The only thing I did to this piece of information was to break it down into paragraphs to make it easier to read. No other changes were made.

545 VS 300, 000, 000

I posted this back in January. It seems more relevant now.

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.... . The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power..

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

These are indeed strange times we live in.

Rules of the Game

The Fool has come up with some rules for you Kneegroes to live by. Although Black people will find these rules offensive and maybe scoff at them, they are what

they are and I am reasonably sure that quite a few of you out there have been unintentionally involved in situations that these rules apply to and have been left shaking your heads and wondering WTF.

In this new reality, it's hard to distinguish whether or not the person you're dealing with is having a bad day or not. Let me assure you, that if a BGH is having a bad day, YOU will be on the receiving end of their wrath. Bet on it.

Essentially, these rules are for survival in the office workplace, although they can be applied to any work environment. Let the Fool state for a fact, that I have seen what can happen when you (black people) ignore these rules. The outcome usually involves the police or being fired or depending on the situation, a good old-fashioned talking to, which accuses you of overreacting.

Here we go. Secret Doctrine of the Cacasoid OR How to Control and Manage the Modern Day African American Ape

1. I have no interest in your personal life, although my own should be important to you.
2. We are not friends. We are co-workers. Please take the time to learn the difference.
3. Only speak when spoken to.
4. I will speak to you if I am in the mood.
5. I will be cordial when speaking, unless you speak to me first.
6. Do not make eye contact with me. I will perceive this as a threat.
7. Do not avert your eyes while talking to me. I will take this as an attempt to hide something.
8. Do not talk too much. You will come across as uppity and arrogant to me.
9. Do not be too quiet. I will know you are up to something.
10. If you have a bubbly personality and a positive outlook on life look forward to drug testing.
11. There is a time limit on any conversation we might have. The limit will depend on the mood I am in. (See rule number 3)
12. Please do not startle, upset, surprise or scare me. I will perceive this as a threat to my life and in extreme situations, I, as a White person, have the right as granted to me by the Constitution of the United States and God himself to kill you dead.

The sub title was my own. I added it after perusing a great many blog forums and posts to articles about Black people who do not play nice. It seems that a good deal of white forumnites have developed the habit of referring to black people (all of you) as animals and apes when you fail to exhibit a less than stellar personality. The fool is sure that there are more rules and even the above are subject to change. That's the problem with racism. It's constantly evolving and mutating. Because, for sure, racism is not the normal spiritual state of human beings.

Spiritual vs Religious

The Fool is going to tread lightly with this post, mainly because he knows how

you black people feel about certain things.

Throughout his life, the Fool has heard people refer to themselves as spiritual, but not religious. Not to start anything here and trying to be as delicate as possible, because people here in Amerikka take their beliefs very serious, The Fool wants to know what separates a spiritual person from a religious person. Aren't religious people spiritual? Or, aren't they supposed to be? I never really gave it much thought.

I like visiting forums and reading replies to news articles. In fact, I enjoy the replies more than the articles. Anyways, during the course of my wandering through the wonderful world of forumania; I've noticed how rude and sometimes downright vicious religious people can be. I found spiritual people a bit more tolerant, but not by much. This cogitation of reasoning sent me in search of the meaning of both religious and spiritual.

The results are below, courtesy of Wikipedia.

Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.” Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; spiritual experience includes that of connectedness with a larger reality, yielding a more comprehensive self; with other individuals or the human community; with nature or the cosmos; or with the divine realm. Spirituality is often experienced as a source of inspiration or orientation in life. It can encompass belief in immaterial realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world.

Religion is a collection of cultural systems, belief systems, and worldviews that establishes symbols that relate humanity to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values. Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life or to explain the origin of life or the universe. They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature.

Now I know these are the simplistic explanations and there are those who would argue even them. Forumnites can be a hard and intractable bunch sometimes.

The religious aspect, I am familiar with. Not so much the spiritual, as I understand it. The way that a vast majority of spiritual forumnites speak about black people has me confused, because the threads consist mostly of the "transformation" that is to come and the new coming of the "one" and yet in another thread, these same "spiritual" forumnites are referring to black people as animals and apes. This confuses the Fool.

Does spirituality exclude black people? Will black people be part of this "transformation?" Does this new transformation excuse bad and rude behavior? Is it because these people will be transformed that they can afford to be racist and ignorant in their views? Is black spirituality less than white spirituality? Alternatively, is it all the same? The Fool wants to know.

I don't want to take up the space needed to write about religion as a whole. And as a side note, below is one of the 12 Rules that the Fool tries to follow.

The most terrible truth that anyone will ever learn while they are on Earth is… that they agreed to come here and to experience all that has, is, and will happen to them. The universe operates under this simple rule: all that happens is by prior agreement based on karmic justice between all the parties involved to balance past karma.

Enough said. Back to the hill I go.
