CIVIL RIGHTS AND BLACKS or THE OLD, THE MANGLED and THE UGLY!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

Where is the Black “Civil Rights Movement??” It is apparent that Black problems have become a sideshow of a sideshow in the world and American. The song “We Shall Overcome” has become their song of acceptance of the “status quo” and not the fight song that made Blacks move to action. It is a clear and present part of the not-so-equal society but it needs a clearer indemnification, in today’s world. Blacks find themselves today doodling around such things as Black Honorees or Blacks who have lived but really never done any thing but be safe. Some of these honorees are even "dishonorees" (i. e. the Clarence Thomases, Black Toms, and Williams, etc) having performed negative activities against their own kind. Black have taken the past and refused to make a serious future of finishing the road to equality!!



NONVIOLENCE OR THE VIOLENCE OF NONCOOPERATION:



MLK and Gandhi had to write the truth about their nonviolent activities. They use noncooperation as a “Weapon” to get some movement toward the quality of mankind! The nonviolent movement was not really non violent. It was the use of the overt/violent pressure/force of “non cooperation” to get the oppressors to move.

Further, another not so well recorded fact was that the coalition that made this movement work was that which finally included the Middle and Lower Class citizens that had as an objective that of unjust wars and Feminine Equality. These white citizens had the easily identified problem of the unfairness of another problem that of antiwar movement.. This was the undeclared Vietnam War on a people that had nothing to do with an attack on American rights and citizens.

When MKL united with these “so-called-flower-children" Black Civil Rights took on a broader new power that made government move to make changes in the questionable activities of war and Civil Rights. Today, there is another common problem that is available for the Black Civil Right advocates to unite with. These groups are located all over the world. They are the teachers in Wisconsin, Egyptian, Liberians, uk, Muslims, etc. All of these groups have a common enemy, the coalitions of the wealthy that have nearly brought all other "institutions" of a civilized society to it’s knees!



BLACK CIVIL RIGHTS HAS NEW NATIONAL AND WORLD WIDE ALLIES!!



But hold it today there is a more serious rights movement. It is a World Wide war. It is really that WWIII that so many leaders have been saying they are trying to avoid. This war has no enemy with uniforms, flags, and sovereign territory. Unlike other wars there is no seventh parallel or French DiMaggio lines. The territory is described as the classic Institution of “Economics Capitalism American Style!” This is one of the five institutions in a civilized society which include Family, Religion, Education and Politics The advisories in this war are Capitalist Economic System on one side and the other five Institutions on the other. Capitalism has proven to be a powerful advisory because it has grown to control the resources that all other institutions need to exist.



THE NEW COALITION OF CIVIL RIGHTS:



So in summary this is a war with the Middle Classes against the Wealthy for control of world resources. The middles Classes are located cross national borderlines. They are Egyptians, British, Germans, Chinese, Libyans, Americans, Nigerians, Tunisians,



WHAT IS THE SOLUTION(S) AND WHO CAN DO THE SOLVING?



In all the revolutions of history it has been recorded that the Middle Classes. Poor and young that have made changes happen. But alas, in American our youth have been so sheltered and coddled by the parental “Baby Boomers” that they have no clue/idea of their condition. Although these Black and white graduates have no employment after college, they still have hope that some great and powerful God will change this! They have not had the benefit of experiencing to fire of “no income compounded with no hope.” Until they have been educated on the real world and HOPE is gone it will have to be one of the old time “Baby Boomers” that will take the leadership and finally involve these college students of the 2000s. Further, if there are any Ministers left that are without sin and not so heavenly bound that they are of earthly good, they should again take the lead stand up be the hero and move onto the white and Black campuses without the “We Shall Over Come” song and get this job done.



THE INSTITUTION OF RELIGION MUST TAKE THE LEAD IN THIS WAR AGAINST GREEDY:



Yes, the Institution of Religion has as it main tenants the responsibility of bringing this enemy that contains Greed, amorality and criminality located in the institution of “Economics (Capitalism)” to a halt before the laws of both man and God! The institution of economic as presently constructed is not a complimentary institution to society.

The resent attacks on unions are the prime opportunity for Black Civil Rights to again become timely and relevant. The Baptist, Epistical, Methodist, Conventions should have visibility at all of the events where unions are being attacked. The SCLC, NAACP, NOW Women Voters League, etc. must join this unified group of AFL-CIO to bring these humans rights to a successful conclusion.

In summary, this is a struggle/war between the Middle Classes and the Wealthy. The common contention is the control of the world's resources of people, minerals, etc. The armies are composed of the 80-90 % that male up the “have-nots (workers)” on side the and the 2% that make up the “Haves (e.g. Bankers, Wall Street, etc.)”
