How many American agree with minister Wright? How many people in this chat room agree with him? I may not agree 100% but I agree with about 95% of what he says in the printed speach. Do I think George Bush conspired to and helped to plan 9/11 YES. Do I think AMerica iver supports Israel and under support any of the other countries of that region YES. DO I think that African American people need self empowerment? YES is that the same as saying WHITE EMPOWERMENT no not at all, why? Because African AMerican's have had to come back from and reprogram the effect of Slavery and the Jim Crow South WHite americans have not. The people who spoke about White Empowerment in the US have done so at the expense of others. Particularly the American Black men and women. The Slave The Nigger and the fact that this is the case calls for stronger languages from African AMericans. Is the African American correct in claiming that the WHite AMerican is Racist. As a general statement it is as correct as the Jew saying that ALl Natzis hate Jews. When whipping is a trained behavior and not a obtained one it should be easy to understand why some one might say the Empowerment of ourselves as Africans in America. How many people here are sick of movies about the Holocaust? I am yet for Jews they will make a new movie every year about it in order to make sure that it does not happen again. Yet for a Black man to discuss the racism, torture and absolute insanity of the American SLave trade this is considered reverse racism. There is genetically engineered food, animals given all kinds of drugs hormones and othe chemicals, water with drugs in it. Why would anyone find it antagonistic for someone to think the US manufactured the Aids Virus? In 2001 George Bush either allowed or enacted the attacks of 9/11 which killed more than 3000 people. He attacked Afganistan and in 2003 attacked Iraq and neither country, neither attack has lead to the capture of the person they claim /US GOV caused 9/11. So why is it a problem for the man to state the truth. AM I anti Semetic? NO but am I anti monopolization of the banking system ? Yes, DO I feel like Israel is truly the land of Jews ? only because some body said so.
So why is this a problem Has anyone here ever used or Heard the word Schwartza? Have AIonist ever done anything questionable? Is any kind of Manipulative monopolization a problem I believe YES A BIG PROBLEM Is this anti Semetic? I believe not. It is like saying no I do not want you to pull my pants down and put that butter on my A-hole does that make me some negative radical element? I hope not.
