TO
CROWN A KING
The apparent
difference between the numerals 6 and 9 is inversion. That is, they
are one symbol rotated to its inverse position. Otherwise, there is
no apparent difference between them. Such being the case, one can
see how the 1990’s took on ad even repeated, events and ideologies
seen during the 1960’s. yes, the sixties and te nineties have a
very similar, if not the same, vibrational pattern. The primary
difference may only be seen in the method of manifestation.
Seemingly not having accepted, learned and implemented the lessons of
social justice and economic parity espoused and exhibited by many
person and organizations of the sixties, the U.S. is now faced with
some very real and
similar events which indicate the peoples’ dissatisfaction with the
system, as is. The 1993/4 acquittal of four Los Angeles (California)
policemen, in what appeared to the public as an unnecessary degree of
force in the beating of Rodney King, sparked the physical fires and
violence which represent years of despair (economic and social),
depression, and (societal) deprivation of too may U.S. residents and
citizens. After successful sedation of the revolutionary spirit
present in the sixties, we have seen such media-produced images as
“HAPPY DAYS”, “GOOD TIMES”, “THE JEFFERSONS” and more
proliferating the television medium and carrying subliminal messages
that everything is alright and getting better. Yet we are
approximately 60 years after the aforementioned TV programming was
begun , with the recent repeat of events (Freddy Gray, Michael Brown,
Sandra Blunt, Philandro Castile, et al), activities and protest
methodologies of the 60’s. The seed of Truth, crushed to the
ground and buried under subliminal and overt messages of false
progress, has again broken the surface and is RISING
to be fulfilled, implemented and realized. U.S. society and
government can no longer delude themselves as being ”the land of
the free”, “ with liberty and justice far all.” In the
overall, the federal government has, as it has had since 1862, the
responsibility of fulfilling the requirements of “Compensated
Emancipation” which means that the truth of
how so-called Afrikan-american people DO NOT
POSSESS U.S. CITIZENSHIP MUST BE TOLD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND RECTIFIED by
the Federal, Sate and local governments. Hand-in-hand with the
government’s responsibility is the mandate to RESTORE, i.e. educate
and organize, the people in ways which will, of themselves, prove
significant experience Business Operations and other such
opportunities while simultaneously defining greater and more
effective means of peaceful systems of grievance and redress. To
continue the course of the past 40 -45 years, i.e. pursuing CIVIL
RIGHTS, is the path of idiocy. Different methods must be taught and
incorporated into a system yielding benefits to the numerical
majority as well as the numerical minority. Bottle and rock throwing
prove to be ineffective for little more than venting immediate
frustrations of the oppressed. Marching ad demonstration are seen as
the desired and acceptable means of protest. Yet for the truly
oppressed peoples of the United Stated, particularly so-called
Afrikan-americans, these tactics have proven ineffective in
manifesting real solutions to the myriad social ills with which
society is confronted.
Yes, as we
come into the 2020’s we see semblances to an era 60 years gone.
Yet we can only expect a different outcome to the degree that we
exercise different input. “Sticks and stones may break their
bones” but ECONOMIC SANCTIONS TRULY HURT THEM. In a time when
sanctions are placed upon nation after nation to force compliance to
a desired behavior pattern, it will greatly behoove all oppressed
peoples to determine what sanctions (and how to place them) are to be
brought to bear upon the government of the United States of America.
Rodney King was beaten so brutally because, “…a negro (Rodney)
has no rights which a white man (the police
officers) is bound
to respect.” Nevertheless, when your support is needed, you are
fed the line about being a “citizen”. Let’s stop the double
talk! We are told one thing and experience another! Therefore, the
time is now FOR Self-Determination, Self-Definition, Self-Initiative.
We must make the 2020’s turn out differently than did the 60’s
or 90’s. in the 60’s the Black Panther Party organized breakfast
programs for the children, health seminars and screenings and more
all free to the community. NOW in 2020 the mandate is for
Self-Reliance and Self-Sustenance in the form of Food Co-operatives,
Health Co-operatives, Community Action Co-operatives and more. We
must now garner the natural energy and harvest thereof, which is our
Divine Birthright. No longer can we wait for positive response from
the government which responds ONLY to that which is deemed negative.
It is time to move from a position of reactionary living to one of
ACTIONARIES, directing the course of our destiny and positively
affecting that of our nation. The concept of co-operatives is not
new. It is not pushed because of its unifying nature. Theirs may be
the past. Ours IS the Future-NOW. We have the POWER and we have
been giving it away. Properly applied, our power will cause every
government worldwide to STOP, LOOK. LISTEN and ACT IN ACCORD WITH US.
Brother
King’s case is only too symptomatic of this dis-easesd country.
The remedy is within US. Dare we use it? Dare we apply it? We
dare, as we must, for otherwise, we can expect the Same Ol’ Same
again. And who needs or desires to relive the 60’s? Certainly not
I!
