Should African Origin or American Citizenship Define Political Position?

 Buckle up. This is going to be a very rough ride. President Obama’s decision to invade Libya put him in direct opposition of the African Union. Although the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), The Arab League under the auspices of the United Nations (UN)  Resolution 1973 gave themselves authority to invade a sovereign country it raises the question for Obama as a black man just who is he really. It not only raises it for President Obama but the question is also raised for Andre Carson and the other Congressional black Caucus members who voted to fund the war, as for black people around the world, especially in America, just who are we really. In raising this question I am pushing the envelope and the tension between national citizenship and our loyalty to the continent of our origin. Are y’all buckled up?? 

 The same question that the soldiers in Egypt had to ask themselves is the same question that is in front of people of African descent. The soldiers in Egypt decided that they were not going to carry out President Mubarak’s order to shoot their own people. We must understand that President Obama with his so-called coalition has shot, bombed, maimed and killed African people. Do we as people of African descent support the killing of our own people????? I say the answer to that question is a resounding NOOOOO!! We should not let our American citizenship cause us to support the killing of our ancestors. It makes no difference that the President has gave the order with Andre Carson and the rest of the Congressional Black Caucus voting to do so. We should resist the order. President Obama along with other black elected officials have lost their way. They are caught up with being American and has bought into this madness so deep that they are willing to kill their own people. 

 Locally, here in Indianapolis, Andre Carson supported Melina Kennedy, a white woman, in her bid to be mayor over Sam Carson, his uncle, who also ran for the office. Andre, you now have turned your back on your family and your people!! You should have come out in support of Melina after the primary so you didn't publically turn your back on your family. Your grandmother whose congressional seat you now hold would not be happy with you.

 This mayor's race has turned Andre against his family, preachers against each other and all for a candidate that still hasn't been clear on what benefit the black community will enjoy from her because of our support. The November 4th, 2011 edition of the Indianapolis Star reports the poll conducted by WISH TV, the local CBS affliate, has found Ballard to be leading Kennedy by 11 percentage points. Melina has had Pastor Jeffry Johnson of Eastern Star church to come out publicly in her support. Pastor Johnson pastors the largest black church here in Indianapolis. If the poll is correct, and Ballard wins, what does this say about Pastor Johnson's influence in the black community? He already has taken a hit when he supported Caroline Mayes over Andre Carson in the previous congressional race. Another loss of his supported candidate can mean he really has no influence of his parishoners after they leave his church service. The stakes for him and the other preachers who have publicly chosen sides in this race is high. However, these preachers' support is not literally killing our people like the support given to the president by Andre and the CBC is doing.

 Black people: THIS MADNES HAS GOT TO STOP WHETHER LOCAL OR INTERNATIONAL!! My position is that the chains that are controlling our minds to support actions that are detrimental to our very existence is Christianity. Surely the preachers supporting Ballard or Kennedy heard from the Lord as their support being what God would have them do. Surely. But this opposite support by these pastors make God appear to be conflicted. Who would serve a conflicted God? Or maybe it's not God who is conflicted. These kind of conflicted stances is what happens when people, especially Pastors try to play party politics. Men of God can't get caught up supporting parties!! Pastors are supposed to be custodians of the truth. This is why I run for Congress as an independent. How can I be true to the truth if my position is dictated by the party? Democrats actually historically supported black people's enslavement. Lincoln, who was a republican, supposedly abolished slavery. Legally he did in the south but not in the North. He was president of the North. The South seceded from the Union. So Lincoln wanted for the South what he wouldn't implement in the North. This is the perils of party politics. ENOUNGH!!

 I know this is tough to take but we must deal with the truth. The authority is not the truth. The truth is the authority. The truth will set us free. I am running for Congress. Somebody has to tell the truth. I guess its me. I am going to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth SO HELP ME GOD!! Running as an independent I can remain unbought, unbossed, untied from the party line, unleashed to do the will of God and unafraid to stand on God's beloved word.

 They are using a distortion of our original religion to make us accept mental slavery and participate in our own physical demise!! We must stop it. We must find our way. I have accepted the charge to sound the bell of alarm. Do not let your American, French, Italian, etc. citizenship confuse you into supporting the bombing, maiming, and killing of your ancestors. Don’t do it!!

 The African Union has come out in opposition of the bombing of Libya. In fact, they offered to send five Presidents to go to Khadaffi and negotiate a cease fire. Khadaffi indicated he was willing to sit down with the A.U. and see about coming to terms. Instead of America and its western and Arab allies getting out of the way so Africans can solve Africa’s issues America and its western allies continued to bomb and kill African people along with Khadaffi.

 They have stuck President Obama at the front of this diabolical behavior thinking that his black face will calm black people in supporting the killing of our ancestors. We must take on a position as the Egyptian soldiers took. Like they would not fire on there mothers, brothers, and sisters, we cannot support President Obama and his coalition in their killing of our ancestors. Many of the conservative talking heads are surprised that Obama has taken the stance he has taken. They know he decided to go along with the killing of our own people. They did not begin to imagine that Obama wanted to be around white folks so much that he was willing to accept the killing of his own folks. We have to support the African Union and reject the position of President Obama. Our national citizenship should not make us turn our back on the motherland, our dear Africa and her people. UP YOU MIGHTY RACE. ACCOMPLISH WHAT YOU WILL!!  I am writing to people of African descent but whites must hear this message also. This playing of whites against people of African descent is a ploy by wealthy, powerful white families to irradicate us both. The race card is their strategy for us to wipe out each other so those of us remaining will be an easy battle for them to take the rest of us out. Occupy Wall Street must become get together on Main street and realize the real target for us little people should be the fat cats running the Federal Reserve Bank and its international conspirators. It is not about whites or blacks surviving at the expense of the other. It is about the poor surviving the greed and power of the ultra wealthy. We must be clear are understand that if you are not a Rockefeller, or a J.P. Morgan etc then you are in the boat with the rest of us. Let's get together. I need your support for my campaign. YOU READY??
