Why did you delete my post? TRUTH hurts doesn't it???? ha, ha!

Sick of it,

Your post was not deleted. Anytime a new article is posted then the comments from the last article are not carried over. You are free to repost your comment. Did you see Marshal's rebuttal? I am surprised that you did not respond. Did his truth hurt you? I have posted both comments below. Marshall makes some very good points. How do you respond?

You don't want to be segregated but you segregate yourselves!! You want to be accepted but you have your own music, your own language, your own churches! Slavery is OVER! and we are not responsible for it! we cannot help what our ancestors did! Only they can answer for that so stop blaming Americans today! If you are insecure in your own skin then ask God to help you, but don't blame us white americans!! There are more blacks in prison than in college today! That should tell you something! and it's not white american, republican party or anybody's fault but ch-own! And where does "tax exempt status" fit into this scenario? hmmmm...

Sick of it

There are Blacks who want to be with you and there are far more Blacks who enjoy being with their own people. We want to be able to do both. We realize that we have been our own worst enemies and we are trying to address those serious problems in our community.

We are still reeling from Slavery even though it has been a long time ago. Our people were made paupers during and after Slavery. When the Northern troops left us down South, your ancestors went on a terrorizing and killing spree. There was nobody to protect our people who had nothing to fight with and they were dirt poor.

You ought to really be sick when you realize that you will one day pay for the blood that your ancestors shed on our people. A decent hard working people who were brought here by your ancestors to work without pay. You, my dear sick one, has benefitted from that sweat and labor. You got a welfare check that is still paying you today because of those hard working Black hands.

We are in prisons because your current White brothers, who are in control of the justice system, are putting any Black who sneezes in prison or on probation. You are still destroying us even to this very day.

I guess by now you realize that you are not the only one, "Sick of It". You do know you will have to pay for what your ancestors and present Whites have done and are doing to the Blacks of this country. That is why you are sick, the psychological effect of knowing that when you do wrong to someone, payback is on the way. That is really what you are sick of, it could come sooner than you think.

Nobody was discussing anything on this blog that fit your input about how sick you are. If it won't be you, it will be your children but payback is bound to come. You know you will reap what you sow. You and your ancestors have sown hate, death, destruction, and genocide of our people and the God I serve will make sure you reap what you have sown.

You need to be sick!!!

Hello All,

Please excuse the mass mailing but I did tell you all that I would keep you posted. The attached is a copy of a complaint filed by Mr. Greg Royal against Sara Palin for her treatment of the African American people here in Alaska. Don't get me wrong, it is not only the African American people, it is just about most of the minorities here, even the native population is not immune. Don't take my word for it, go to
www.askthewashu.blogspot.com and see for yourself. This blog spot has articles, videos, tape recordings and more on the situation here in Alaska for minorities under Sara Palin.

A lot of people doubted my claims and the attached complaint gives proof from more
prominent African Americans here in Alaska now support my claim officially. Thank you all for your emails and please forward this one to those that need to know a little more in order to make an informed decision in November. I will continue to keep you informed.
Be Blessed. Gwen

Just let me get one thing straight...I am not a racist! I think slavery was totally wrong and I do not condone it! I just wish people would stop blaming other people for what they are not responsible for. It seems like black people will always have a chip on their shoulder for something that happened over 100 years ago. You are free now and that's great that you want to turn things around, just do it! I will not have to pay for anything my ancestors did thanks to Jesus Christ because those sins were washed away a LONG time ago and that generational curse was broken a long time ago thanks to Christian parents and grandparents...I will not reap what they have sown, but I'm sure alot of them are reaping that in hell right now as we speak. Nobody was discussing anything on this blog that fit my input? Just spewing hatred about Sarah Palin! Blacks are in prison becuase they kill, not because of some white person's fault, most likely it was another black person they murdered!

Are we going to have black and white sections in heaven? NO, so why can't we get along on earth?

Sick of it!

Let me present this to you in a calmer spirit. You are not guilty of the Slavery atrocities but you are responsible at this present time. You and other Whites [if you are White] have lived deliciously on our ancestors blood and labor which enriched you directly and mostly indirectly.

You have a responsibility to right the wrong. You followed Slavery with terror as KKK and other forms of terrorism. You have to wonder why blacks struggle so hard to advance unlike others who have come to America. We are targeted and destroyed if we achieve economically.

We can site several instances in this country where White wiped out Blacks who accumulated wealth and were prosperous. Look up Rosewood and the massacre in Oklahoma and over 50 different cities where Blacks were doing well. Oklahoma City was called Black Wall Street, Whites even bombed the Black community in that city.

That type of racial slaughter left Black people afraid to be prosperous. The psychological damage is manifest in so many ways to such extent that your people have us gripped in fear.

We are not free! The criminal justice system and the dependence we have on White America has us in a neoslavery mainly because if we achieve we are targeted.

Even Blacks who have worked their way up to produce a corporation such as Beatrice Foods, BET, many hair products companies are bought out. It just comes across that your people do want to see us with anything. What are you people afraid of?

There is a man in this Southern town who only drives his cadillac at night because Whites will get upset to see that he owns a cadillac. One physician refuses to buy a Mercedes for similar reasons. We are afraid to achieve.

The exceptions are showing up such as the businesses listed on Black Enterprises list. There are exceptional breakthroughs but generally the fears are there.

You are not guilty but you certainly are responsible as you all have gotten over with all that free labor and the atrocities during sharecropping and low wages on menial jobs. You will have to pay just as your ancestors may be flipping in their graves.

Your hatred of our people[not you personally] shows that there is fear of our rise and our inherent greatness. You cannot suppress and oppress us forever. We have been through your fire and we will come out like pure gold. The bottom rail will come to the top. It is just a matter of time. That's what you are so afraid of.

Sick of it:

Let me try to enhance Marshall's point. Although you personally did not commit the atrocities of slavery, you still benefitted. Does that make you a racist? No. But does that make you a benificiary of racism? Yes. And there are white people who fear Black people being on an equal level. Check out the following video:

There are more Blacks in prison than in college because the justice system in skewed against Blacks. Let me explain. This past week I was demonstrating for some janitors who were unjustly fired. To make a long story short they had negotiated a union contract with their employer. Their employer, a janitor service, was fired by the building owner (the contract was terminated early I might add) and another janitor contractor was hired. The new contractor would not honor the negotiated agreement and fired the janitors that presently cleaned the building. A clergy group was going to present a letter to the building own to express that the Building owner's behavior was not what God would have them to do. As we were going into a revolving door to present the building owner a letter a senior white lady came out in front of the door, extended her arms, and told me I could not enter the building. This is a public building mind you. After having a brief conversation with the lady I noticed a swinging door entrance to the right of the revolving door. I side stepped to the right, opened the swinging door started to go in. The woman grabbed me by the neck and tried to prevent me from entering the building. In the process, she poured coffee all over my suit. The police were called. The police agreed that I was unjustly assaulted by the woman. Yet they decided not to press charges against the woman. Hummm. Now reverse the roles. If I had did to that white woman what she did to me do you think the police would have decided not to prosecute? I say not. This type of thinking causes the jails to fill with Black men. Justice in too many instances is not just. That is not to deny in some instances that people must take responsibility for their behavior. But it is to highlight that justice in America for Black people is not the same justice for white people. Racist behavior is alive and well. I hope this helps you. I am all about increasing the love and decreasing the hate. But I am not about doing that at the expense of the truth of our reality.

One more point. God did forgive your forefather and mothers sins if they repented. But that does not justify you reaping the benefit from their forgiven sin. May God continue to order our steps.

This is a good quote from a successful black man: "Jesse B. Brown, president of Krystal Investment Management, a financial advisory firm in Chicago, IL and author of the best selling book, Investing in the Dream-Wealth Building Strategies for African Americans Seeking Financial Freedom. “The next battle is for economic freedom. People love to talk about African-American wealth. ‘We are worth $500 billion,’ they cry. Great. But how much of that is invested? The African-American community is not invisible, but its investment earnings are barely discernible. Don’t let lingering racial insecurities or fear of discrimination keep you from claiming your prosperity birthright and participating in the American economy."

There is alot of injustice in this world..to whites, all people of color, Jews, Christians, the disabled, elderly, the unborn, this list goes on and on. I guess none of us will be totally free until we reach heaven. The only one we have to answer to is our heavenly Father and He doesn't care what we look like...

Sick of it!

You must admit that the Black experience in America is very different from any other ethnic group. We are feared by the Whites who make up the majority. That has to be all that we can use to draw the conclusion that explains why Whites will not allow Blacks to advance in America.

There was a time when they were afraid to allow us to learn how to read. Remember we were captives in this land with nothing. As hard as it is for you to believe it, we are still reeling from Slavery. We were finally allowed to read and eventually obtained a European education. Furthermore the White rulers realized that religion helped keep Blacks in check as Blacks deferred living well in the here and now for a better life after death.

All along the way there was always fear that blacks had been subjected to mostly subconsciously. That same fear has stifled us and stunted our growth in this land. Even the gains that we do have today are still shrouded in fear. The justice system is there to keep blacks in check. Look at the number of Blacks who have been killed by police in this country; but we never hear of an unarmed White getting shot 17 times by the police.

Our people do not discuss the level of fear openly but it is there. And we have been damaged mentally to the point of self hatred that is manifested in the Black on Black violence. We hate ourselves and any thing that looks like us. This is what can happen to an entire race of people who are made to submit and are made fearful of their opressor.

We have advanced to a certain point but the White majority is always on alert and they will not allow too much advancement by Blacks. Amazingly they too are afraid that one day they will receive payback for all the hell that they have put Black people through.

Why else would a majority White population vote for George Bush twice and a sizable number who still support McCain and Palin right now. They prefer an ignorant leader like Bush over a strong progressive and liberal Democrat who might lift all boats [like Clinton and Roosevelt did] which scares the hell out of guilt ridden Whites in America.

Black fears are justified because the record is clear that a whole race of people have been subjected to genocidal behavior by Whites in authority in America. God will give the kingdom to whom he pleases. It is very apparent that Whites will be overwhelmed by Blacks and Hispanics who will be the majority soon. It is just a matter of time.
But out of all the ethnic groups, Whites are most fearful of Blacks. And now you know why.

Sick of it:

I want to emphasis the point made by Marshall about whites selling the pie in the sky theology that for sometime Black people bought wholesale. For the most part we still believe that the after life will be better than this life. But with that belief it does not stop us from demanding that we some heaven here on earth. Whites tried, and were to some degree successful, to sell to us that suffering here on earth will make the pie better in heaven. Too many of us have awoken from that tainted theology. That suffering for our belief in Jesus will make heaven better, but suffering for the white man who exploits and oppresses us because we are Black has nothing to do with better treatment in heaven. White folks are afraid that Barack's victory will heighten this awareness. Check out the following to see the fear of white folks openly expressed:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRqcfqiXCX0

I am all for increasing the love and decreasing the hate. But that pie in the sky theology has really been overstated. May the God of justice continue to order our steps.

Well, this is interesting, someone finally realized and has shown evidence of a woman running for one of the most important positions in America but who is incapable of benefitting all concerned. Palin's personna is not one that shows itself being in touch with the needs of all people nor does her demeanor reflect a concern for all. To "sick of it," centuries ago the Constitution (written by Euro-Americians) was written to exclude blacks from rights due all "HUMANS." As a result of those laws being enforced white America still uses the Constitution for its own benefit, one being to keep black Americans down. However, as an black woman in America, I am not bound by those laws and because of being in touch with my true identity have been able to rise above those chains as well as to help others. That being said, I agree with Marshall, many blacks are still suffering as a result of slavery and though today not visibly prevalent it does exists and it is expressed more and more by the powers that be. So, don't get offended, just face reality. We are not dealing with issues from the past, because what was one man's past has become another man's present and future struggle. We many times look at behaviors and not the core of issues. This is a heart issue, what people believe. If anyone living in America can say slavery and racism are a thing of the past, then it is this person who is in danger of self-deception and blindly leading others. To ignore a nation of people is like dismissing their existence thus maintaining a mindset that "they are not fully human." Whcih is what is appears Palin has done, along with many others. One beautiful thing to me about all of this is, because of the maltreatment suffered, both past and present I am ever reminded of how unique, significant, intelligent; innately resourceful and wise black people are. All of these reasons are why white America has tried to strip us of our dignity and self-worth but more importantly exactly why we do not have to remain in a slavery mentality. My, look at where intimidation and fear of our gifts and talents still control the minds of those confused but also continues to create a people whose internal insignificance causes them to want to impose their lack of instability upon us, to include other minorities as well. Remember it was African Americans who predominately built America, who instituted the first University in Timbuktu, where many white scholars studied in archaeology, math and science. Plantation owners sought out Africans who were experts in certain areas of cultivation, basically became wealthy off of the knowledge and experiences of blacks, does this sound like a nation of incapable people, not at all; however still today in many arenas we are treated as such. So much so that a government official would ignore one of the most important days of history that continue to help shape our future. And someone thinks slavery is still a part of the past? Is she not saying, "as far as she is concerned we still are?" Hmmmmm.

WTH???

John Marshall - YOU will be the one OUR ancestors blame for feuling racial hatred in people who have grown up in mixed race households, neighborhoods and schools.

And while you are bashing white ancestors - when many had NOTHING to do with slavery and were ALSO sharecroppers....don't forget to bash the AFRICAN ancestors who traded slaves.

I'm so damned sick of this crap

Alaska has a population of around 25,000 African-Americans, with a total population of around 700,000. Therefore, African-Americans make up around 4% of the overall population of Alaska, with higher percentages in the larger cities like Anchorage.

We should familiarize ourselves to the history of African-Americans in Alaska:

http://www.akhistorycourse.org/articles/article.php?artID=233

For example, African-Americans who built the highway to Alaska stayed to live after it was completed. Taking the position that the people who continue to play a significant role in the building of the infrastructure of Alaska should not be represented on the staff of Gov. Palin is preposterous.

Gov. Palin’s attitude toward Alaska’s black population indicates what her feelings might be toward all African-Americans as vice-president and possibly president of the United States. Like Sen. McCain, Gov. Palin shows little or no respect for the observance of Juneteenth Independence Day in America. Juneteenth is an official state holiday observance in Alaska which requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation. Despite the statute, Gov. Palin did not issue a Juneteenth Proclamation in 2007.

Gov. Palin still refuses to meet with African-American leaders of the Ministers Alliance to discuss job opportunities for African-Americans during the building of the Alaskan pipeline. Again, in my opinion, if elected to the White House, most likely her actions toward African-Americans will not change. Let African-American leaders in Alaska tell their own story about Gov. Palin. I have spoken to several of them and remain quite concerned about what I am hearing.

Juneteenth is America’s 2nd Independence Day celebration. 29 states and the District of Columbia recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday or state holiday observance, as well as the Congress of the United States.

Together we will see Juneteenth become a national holiday in America!
