Race Baiter

Being an activist in America has never been an activity that  endures hearty compliments and offers of free lunches and invites to prestigious conferences and graduation ceremonies 

There is quite a lot of preparation, research and studying to achieve the mastery and maximum outcome of one’s agenda and objective as an Activist. It is important to be able to express humor ,wit, creativity, logic , timing as well as the instincts to respond to situations and topics that generate criticism of one’s activism .

Quite often being an Activist especially on Race and Social Justice issues generates the worst of people and reactions including visceral insults, ridicule, abuse and even death threats.

In the public arena of Race one of the oldest insults is being called a ‘Race Baiter’ In fact I view this insult as one of my greatest compliments and reactions from my adversaries and those who don’t share my views on Race.

It is crucial to research and collect the very best and most credible data, information and statistics on Race especially when one is seeking to offer recommendations and ideas that drive an end to a racist policy or behaviors.

People who resent equality and opportunity for all regardless of one’s race, gender, religion, nationality, ethnicity etc etc must be challenged and where warranted condemned. 

As such the reaction  of being attacked as a ‘Race Baiter is an acknowledgement for the Activist they are on target

College Memory

 When I was in college @ MSU , I was having a rough day and while I was walking back to my apartment from the window of a dorm a bunch of White students yelled from the window.     


                   ‘Nigger U don’t belong here’


There was no DOE investigation on campus about racism a towards Black students.. No TV commercials about racism on college campuses towards Black students 


I was not White, Jewish, Privileged nor did I have a foreign nation ( Israel) and its lobbyists and wealthy patrons to pressure MSU or the DOE.


I had to rely on all the wisdom my parents taught me and all of the streets of Detroit to inform me on how to respond to this racist shit!


I went all in , I ran into the dorm and I tried to knock the hinges off that room’s door.. I yell in my loudest voice these MF crackers called me a GD Nigger!!


That night and literally for a month every day , I sent pizzas, room complaints, fire alarm alerts to that dorm room 


Finally I called the students in the room ( back then all students phones were published). .. Every student in that room begged me to stop and I got every apology ever created in the world!!!!


Today, when I lecture or write about how to address racism that is personal, I tell this tale and I counsel to my audience never ever turn away from hate wherever/whenever it enters your life 


Of course I graduated with Cum Laude Honors

DEI Forever

Of late in America there is a campaign to get rid of DEI in all of its iterations in our educational institutions and in the marketplace both the public and private sectors.

Ignore this siren call and dismiss those who articulate that hateful rhetoric that DEI is not necessary and in some twisted narrative in anti White and UnAmerican and finally not needed in a post racial America. 

Of course the major proponents of the end of DEI in America are White folks and not just conservatives but also progressives and religious types.

Those who occupy the C suites in America know that diversity and inclusion are productive and profitable , yet politics and cheerleading is necessary in the still fading Trump Era of America .

Some of the underlying reasons that float the campaign to end DEI in our society are not new the usual belief that minorities especially Black people are inferior and lacking the ability to invent, create, lead are embedded into the support to end DEI in our nation.

America simply cannot be America without DEI

Targets

 A non-profit research group called Mapping Police Violence recently released their updated database for 2023. And while the data is imperative and meaningful – it's also not surprising. We also must remember that this data is based on public and reported records and that there are likely countless victims of police brutality that the state has managed to cover up.


Here are some of the key takeaways from the database:
  • Black people are the demographic most likely to be killed by the police
  • Black people are 3x as likely to be killed compared to white people
  • Black people are 1.3x as likely as white people to be unarmed
  • 95% of America's major city police departments kill Black people at higher rates than white people
  • Most killings by police begin with traffic stops, mental health checks, and non-violent offenses – times where no crime was alleged

Weaken Sovereignty

There was absolutely no reason nor foundation for the force resignation of Dr. Gay but for the politics of a foreign nation influence in America which sought to silence criticism of Israel’s war of vengeance and revenge against innocent Palestinians in Gaza!


There was absolutely no basis for a US Congressional Hearing which only targeted women presidents of elite Private Colleges in America with the objective to silence criticism of Israel and Academic Freedom on American college campuses 


Observing our domestic politics surrendering to the will of a foreign nation ( Israel) at war amounts to an attack on our sovereignty 


America must not ever allow such brazen acts of disrespect and disregard for our democracy ever again.


Israel is not a state in America ….


 

Letter to Harvard and NY Times

 My Letter to Harvard Crimson and NY Times


Dr. Claudine Gay was Harvard’s first Black President, She was forced to resigned because she refused to genuflect to the politics of Americans who supported Israel in its inhumane war against Palestinians in Gaza.


Gay was punished and sanctioned for not elevating the ‘chosen ‘ people of America in the manner they demanded from Gay as President of Harvard! Gay refused to suppress Academic Freedom @ Harvard which was a significant strategic policy of those which sought to suppress Academic Freedom at Harvard and the critics of Israel ‘s war of revenge and vengeance in Gaza towards innocent Palestinians .


Gay was an example of a reality in America that Black Americans still are discounted and subjected to the bigotry of low expectations and are still not worthy of absolute citizenship/leadership in America especially at the most prestigious educational institution in America.


What Gay experienced in America will only harden the racial , cultural and religious and societal divide in America especially the fractured relationship between White Jews and Black Americans across the spectrums of relations and intersections between America’s most prominent minority communities
