Utah’s history with blacks.

What in the blue hell is going on?


"The Chitlins (Shit) done hit the fan."


Are white Utah couples `buying` black children? Local news stations in Utah are reporting that a family paid $30,000 in fees to the adoption agency, to adopt a black girl from Chicago.


Given the great divide between blacks and whites, a black mother who takes her child to Utah to be adopted by a white couple must be in a terrible state of mind. Impoverished black people definitely don’t trust well-to-do white people. In fact, most poor black people believe they wouldn’t be in such sorry shape if it weren’t for racist white people. So it is hard to grasp why black women are flying to Utah to give white people their children. Left behind are stunned fathers and grandmothers who are struggling to understand how a black person could do such a thing.


The black community is not a third-world country where people are living so close to the edge that they cannot be expected to take care of themselves or their children. I don’t see poor white women dragging their children to black families to raise. Why should it be normal for poor black women to hand their children to white families?

I am also troubled that some white couples may be adopting black babies because they have given up waiting for a white one. Certainly that seems to be the case in Canada where hundreds of African-American children have been adopted by Canadian couples. Critics of the Canadian adoption system claim the system is racist because the babies are priced according to their skin, and a black baby goes for about a third the cost of a white baby. Private adoption agencies in Utah give black mothers about $1,300 in cash for their so-called expenses and pay for their plane ticket and hotel accommodations.


What I wanted to say: This is not how black families operate. Because there are a large number of female-headed households in the black community, a grandmother is the rock. Most of these women are raising their second set of children, and they are closer to getting it right. Most often, these grandmothers find themselves being the backbone of a fragile skeleton. In Illinois, about 103,717 grandparents are responsible for raising their grandchildren, and 41 percent of these grandparents are black. Yes, most of these grandparents are also women, and because they have achieved a level of wisdom you can only grow into, many of the boys who could have ended up in gangs grew into successful men, and many wild, single mothers went on to complete their education and to build meaningful careers.

The black community needs a sounding board as well. Because if our leaders allow black babies to so easily be put on this auction block, what could be next?

Utah’s history with blacks.

Like all other races, black people are responsible for raising the children they bring into the world, and it is sickening that these black mothers think white mothers can do a better job raising black children.
After all, Utah has never been seen as a state that welcomes blacks. Many of us remember that like most denominations, the Mormons taught that blacks were inferior to whites. But unlike many other denominations, the Mormons were slow to change. In fact, the religious denomination didn’t lift its ban against African Americans in the priesthood until 1978. Given the history of the state’s most dominant residents, I can’t understand how any black woman would be comfortable leaving her child in Utah. The only explanation is these women just don’t know any better.

If you live in Chicago, I bet you didn’t know this, did you?
Patricia L. Hill, An 17 year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, former president of the African American Police League. Stated that "Irish Americans in Chicago represent 3 percent of the population but hold more than 80 percent of police and firefighter positions. 4,000 firefighter in Chicago, only 400 are black."




Why Black Men Kill Each Other and Commit Suicide.
The black male in America pictured as "an endangered species" and repeatedly painted in the media as criminal dealing drugs, raping women, and killing each other has added suicide to a behavior pattern that was previously both perplexing and disturbing. The reasons for the rise in suicide among young black males, according to parents, psychologists, sociologists and others vary. Of those interviewed some point to deteriorating components in the American society where the clash between ideologies is leaving these members of a formerly enslaved population unable to cope. Others describe a "feeling of hopelessness, of being trapped." And some simply baffled. The Center for Disease Control reports that black males ages 15-24 are killing themselves at a faster rate than any other age group. The report disclosed that compared to 8 percent for white males in the same age group from 1980 to 2003 suicides for black males climbed to 63 percent. More black men in the United States are behind bars than are in higher education, according to a new study by a Washington DC think tank.

Following a booming prison construction and an increasing the numbers of people being incarcerated for non-violent crimes, there were 791,600 black men in American prisons and county jails in 2003, and only 603,032 enrolled in colleges and universities, according to the Justice Policy Institute, which favors alternatives to imprisonment.

"If your white great-great grandfather killed my great-great grandfather, And your white great grandfather sold my great-grandfather, And your grandfather raped my grandmother, And your father stole, cheated, lied and robbed my father, What kind of fool would I have to be to say "Come my friend" to the White daughter and son. Souljah was not born to make white people feel comfortable I am African first, I am Black first I want what’s good for me and my people first And if my survival means your total destruction, then so be it You built this wicked system They say two wrongs don’t make a right But it damn sure makes things even."

The Other Side Of Whites In America

I would like to show the other side of whites in America - a side never talked about. This is a cruel story well worth reading. But first, some background info: It is surprisingly common to see whites in America adopting black crack babies. This particular story is very cruel. Blacks have lots of crack babies- and great many babies are just thrown away. In this particular case a black mother bashed her newborn baby on the side of the head and then threw her in a toilet to die. A white Policewoman found and adopted the baby. What is interesting is how many black children are abandoned and left to die in America.

It is white people who often take pity on these throwaway children and try to take care of them. I have noticed on numerous occasions in the mall or in a super-market, a white woman either with her own white children and a black child among them, or a young white couple who have adopted a black baby. I have never in my life seen a black couple adopting a white baby - but I have seen many whites - often well-off/upper-class whites who have adopted black babies as their own and who raise them.

What do you think about transracial adoption? Can "whites" provide loving and caring homes for "black" babies or other babies "of color?" Can "whites" provide the "cultural influences" necessary to develop self-esteem and pride within "black" kids? How many of the "black" kids languishing in foster care are actually of mixed-race -- not "black" at all? While delivering drugs to a fetus is not a crime in Illinois, it does fall under the definition of neglect, giving the state a reason to open a child welfare case, said John Goad, associate deputy director of child protection for Cook County for the Illinois. Black babies in Illinois are more likely than white babies to be taken from their mothers and placed in foster care because of drug exposure, the Reporter found. Thank you White America, for adopting black crack babies.

"Peter Pan syndrome"

Men who choose to avoid responsibility--in denial about their adulthood. He had all the pain of adulthood--and adult pleasure? He hovered outside the window, looking in. The longing he feels for both lost adulthood and lost childhood is palpable. These black men have been forced to think of themselves as a baby, What does a black man call his close acquaintances? Boys. What does a black man call his place of residence? His crib."


A child’s chance to escape anger and injustice begins with one man… Their Father.

THE ROLE OF BLACK FATHERS IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TRADITIONS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT IN THEIR EARLIEST YEARS IN THE NEW WORLD ENSLAVED AFRICIAN-AMERICANS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN. MOREOVER, THEIR LOYALTY TO THEIR CHILDREN AND MATES DEFINED THE EFFORTS OF THEIR WHITE SLAVE HOLDERS TO BREAK THE FAMILY BONDS OF THEIR SLAVES. THE NEGATIVE SCARS THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN CARRY CONCERNING THEIR ROLE, AS FATHERS MUST BE PUT TO REST. THE STEREOTYPE THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN FATHERS DO NOT DEAL WITH THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF FATHERHOOD IS SIMPLY AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE. NOT ONLY DO MANY FATHERS RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN A HEALTHY NURTURING ENVIRONMENT, BUT THEY ALSO RAISE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH THEM BY OTHERS.

Today Oscar Schindler`s name is known to millions as a household word for courage in a world of brutality. He saved hundreds of Jews from Hitler’s gas chambers. One remarkable man who outwitted the Nazis to save more Jews from the gas chambers than any other during World War 2. He surfaced from the chaos of madness, spent millions bribing and paying off the SS and eventually risked his life to rescue 1,200 Jews in the shadow of Auschwitz. In those years, millions of Jews died in the death camps, but Schindler`s Jews miraculously survived. Oscar Schindler died penniless. Today there are 7,000 descendants of Schindler`s Jews living in US and Europe, and many in Israel. Before the Second World War, the Jewish population of Poland was 3.5 million. Today there are between 3,000 and 4,000 left. Here you find Schindler Jews sharing memories of their unlikely savior - generations will remember him for what he did.



1942 - On 20 January, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis complete the planning for the End losung (Final Solution), the extermination of the Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals, communists, and other "undesirables" and "decadents" in death camps run by the SS and controlled by the Gestapo. About six million European Jews die in the following `Holocaust`. Most (about 4.5 million) of those killed come from Poland and the Soviet Union. About 125,000 are German Jews.

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)


Joseph Stalin killed approximately 20 million, including up to 14.5 million needlessly starved to death. At least one million executed for political "offences". At least 9.5 million more deported, exiled or imprisoned in work camps, with many of the estimated five million sent to the `Gulag Archipelago` never returning alive. Other estimates place the number of deported at 28 million, including 18 million sent to the `Gulag`.

Joseph Stalin (1879-1953)

King Léopold killed five to 15 million Congolese (Africans) (the indigenous inhabitants of the Congo River basin).

King Léopold II of Belgium (1835-1909)


Adolph Hitler has been shown in history books as a man who has tried to decimate the Jewish people. And their children will learn of the suffering of their people, yet nowhere in these same history books will our children learn of King Leopold and how he tried to do the same of the Congolese people.

Teach our children, true history.

Who Are the Nubians?


The Nubians are believed to be the first human race on earth, and the ancient Egyptians adopted most of their customs and traditions. To the Greeks, they were known as Ethiopians and Nubia as the land of Punts, i.e. the land of gods. Nubians are the people of northern Sudan and southern Egypt. With a history and traditions, which can be traced to the dawn of civilization, the Nubian first settled along the banks of the Nile from Aswan. Along this great river they developed one of the oldest and greatest civilizations in Africa. Until they lost their last kingdom (Christian Nubia) only 5 centuries back the Nubians remained as the main rivals to the other great African civilization of Egypt. Nubia is the homeland of Africa’s earliest black culture with a history which can be traced from 3100 B.C. onward through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome. In antiquity, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth, of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense, which was always prized by her neighbors. Although Sudan had remained the main homeland of Nubians through their long history, many of their descendants is today’s Egypt.

Her reign was the longest of all the female pharaohs, and her funerary temple still stands as a tribute to her incredible rise to power.




My Ancestors.

When we go to glory, when our time is over will we stand unspoken for
When the light becomes too blinding? When my ancestors come to meet me,
They’ll have questions about my drugging they may look on my enemies kindly when my life becomes a memory.When my ancestors meet me up there.
They may look upon me they may take it badly all the women I used to love all the things they won’t approve of. When my ancestors come to meet me well I hope that they welcome me there they’ll forgive me forgetting their names when the place becomes too frightening will my ancestors meet me up there.

What Was Jim Crow?

Jim Crow was the name of the racial caste system, which operated primarily, but not exclusively in southern and Border States, between 1865, and the mid-1965s. Jim Crow was more than a series of rigid anti-Black laws. It was a way of life. Under Jim Crow, African Americans were relegated to the status of second class citizens. Jim Crow represented the legitimization of anti-Black racism. Many Christian ministers and theologians taught that Whites were the Chosen people, Blacks were cursed to be servants, and God supported racial segregation.

1865 UNTIL 1965 EQUAL 100 YEARS OF JIM CROW.

Racism was so ingrained in her childhood that she says she hardly noticed it. She was only eight years old on September 15, 1963 when the Ku Klux Klan carried out one of its most infamous bombings, of an Alabama church. One of four 10-year-old girls killed had been a friend of Rice since kindergarten. Born in Birmingham, Alabama on November 14, 1954, and she did not notice racism. What in the blue hell?

The Secret Lives of Wives.

“"It is easy to tell right from wrong, but the hard part is choosing the wrong that is right." Sawaad Amen Ra


Shem Hotep ("I go in peace").



The Secret Lives of Wives and Why they stray:

With the work place and the Internet, overscheduled lives and inattentive husbands--it’s no wonder more African American women are looking for comfort in the arms of another man. When groups of women get together, especially if they’re mothers and have been married for more than six or seven years, and especially if there’s alcohol involved, the conversation is usually the same. They talk about the kids and work-how stressed they are, how busy and bone tired. They gripe about their husbands and, if they’re being perfectly honest and the wine kicks in, they talk about the disappointments in their marriages.


They do it for love. They do it for sex. They do it to feel beautiful and boost their self-esteem. No, we’re not talking about why women get married, but why women cheat on the men they have married. Female infidelity is not a new phenomenon, but it is a fact of life that many people, including women, don’t want to acknowledge. While the cheating man has long been the subject of boasts, jokes, novels and movies, the unfaithful woman is now getting more attention and scrutiny. And justifiably so.

Where as decades ago, the unfaithful wife was a rarity, an abnormality, today’s missus is more likely to cheat than her predecessors. The first reliable estimate concerning infidelity was made in 1953 by renowned sex researcher Alfred Quinsy, who in his landmark study found that 50 percent of husbands and 26 percent of wives surveyed had cheated by age 40. However, in recent years, women have been catching up to men. A 1997 Ball State University study suggests that young women, those under age 40, are just as likely to commit adultery as men are their age. Among older couples, the stereotype of men being more likely to stray holds true. Sex researchers agree that today more women are committing adultery. At the same time, more and more women are working outside the home alongside men, oftentimes in office environments that are charged with sexual electricity. In addition, some studies show that the more sexual partners a person has before marriage, the more likely she or he is to cheat on a spouse. The reasons women cheat vary considerably.

Some get involved in extramarital affairs because they are lonely, others because they want to escape the monotony of marriage. Still others are motivated to cheat due to revenge after they find lipstick or other telltale signs of their husbands` infidelity. Then there are the selfish, character-flawed women who marry good men who love and take care of them but continue to consort with other men for sexual excitement or for the money and other material goods the men can provide. Where do married women find their boyfriends? At work, mostly. Nearly 60 percent of American women work outside the home, up from about 40 percent in 1964. Quite simply, women intersect with more people during the day than they used to. They go to more meetings, take more business trips and, presumably, participate more in flirtatious water-cooler chatter. If infidelity is an odd game, and then the odds are better now than they used to be that a woman would accidentally bump into someone during the workday that, at least momentarily, interests her more than her husband does. There’s a more subtle point embedded in here as well: women and men bring their best selves to work, leaving their bad behavior and marital resentments at home with their dirty sweatpants. At work, "we dress nicely.

We think before we speak. We’re poised," says Elana Katz, a therapist in private practice and a divorce mediator at the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City. "And many people spend more time out in the world than with their families. I think sometimes people have the idea that [an affair] will protect the marriage." They get a self-esteem boost during work hours and don’t rock the boat at home. "In some paradoxical sense this may be a respite, a little break from the marriage.

“An African proverb is that the flower grows in the ground and does so because of the seed. Men are the seed. The ground is the woman’s body. The flower belongs to the seed, not to the ground.”





Blame the Law and not some Black Fathers.

How could we fail to notice the institutional racism in the treatment of black men within social security? In the present climate of rising gun and drug crime and increasing exclusion rates of black boys from secondary schools, black fathers are often castigated for being poor role models and absentee parents.

Researchers keep telling us that even when the relationship between the two parents has broken down, the father will still be a very big part of the child’s life and his absence or presence will affect how they view themselves. However, for black men who are also welfare claimants, the application of social security law actively undermines their relationships with their children. Why is this?

The law governing divorce courts contains no statutory ban on shared care after parental separation or divorce. Yet when shared care is ordered by the courts on the grounds of welfare needs of the child, or when parents agree to share the care of children, the law relating to Social Security law states: "Only one parent can be treated as responsible for a child".
