Where I live Democrats dominate local government and the state government. It is Democrats making impoverished Black American tenants homeless and scattered into white and immigrant dominated areas with gentrification where I live. According to the article, "Are African American families more vulnerable in a largely white neighborhood?" by Gregory Smithsimon of The Guardian, dated Feb. 21, 2018, police shootings of Black Americans are happening in white suburban areas with a growing Black American population. Those killings of Black Americans will not be considered murders; they will be called "the police, doing their jobs," or "self-defense by white/immigrant civilians," who wasn't under any real threat at all. When we beat, fight, or kill them in self-defense, it is called "assault" or "murder" or "attempted murder." The law, politicians, juries, judges, and the courts will not enforce your right to life and your right to defend your life against threat of murder by whites and immigrants. The majority power groups such as racist whites, immigrants, and Black bourgeoisie will not acknowledge that whites and immigrants threaten violence, intimidation, or retaliation in the form of termination and blacklisting from employment against Black Americans on a regular basis as an aspect of peaceful interracial relations with them if we don't kiss their behinds, shut up, and stay in our places. It is unsafe for Black American slave descendants to live in racially mixed areas, because we will be murdered by police or by white and immigrant civilians, claiming we are trying to hurt them, steal from them, or just walking through their neighborhood as a Black Americans automatically makes us "suspicious-looking characters." We have relative safety in numbers living around our own kind. The Democrats, whom Black Americans vote for, are creating public policies to break up Black voting blocs and push Black Americans against our will into white and immigrant dominated areas where our minds and bodies can be easily controlled under the constant threat of being murdered by police and non-Black American neighbors. Black Democrats do not enforce our civil and human rights already in Black American dominated areas. Why continue to vote for racist Black Democrats, who are pushing impoverished Black American tenants into white and immigrant areas to be easily massacred and imprisoned? Black Democrats pay lip-service to our civil and human rights and let the genocide they have been waging for years run its course under the assumption that integration is progress towards racial equality. Black Americans cannot continue to vote for Democrats term after term and expect a different result. Please consider rounding up your network of Black American friends where you live in majority Black American districts, or organize Black American voters online within your district, who are under threat of gentrification, homelessness, and being pushed into white and immigrant areas, and voting for the most sensible individuals among you to write-in as candidates for city council, mayor, state legislature, county boards, and the House of Representatives rather than vote for ineffectual, racist Black Democrats this election cycle. Do not worry about being qualified by education or experience. The Tea Party sent whites with no prior governmental experience or college degrees into the House of Representatives. Those racist Black Democrats are chosen and financed by racist whites and immigrants to control and oppress Black American slave descendants, not represent them. We should not be murdered for being Black American in white or immigrant dominated neighborhoods, but that is the reality we live in. If we are forced into white and immigrant areas, we can expect our children to be murdered by police or non-Black American civilians for our kids, playing with brightly colored, plastic, water guns in front yards or at parks. MLK Jr. and other Black leaders, past and present, with so many college degrees among them, failed to tell Black Americans that sociology describes integration, assimilation, accommodation, displacement, and miscegenation as forms of genocide. Gentrification is state sponsored genocide on impoverished Black American slave descendants, masquerading as job creation and community development. When we vote for Democrats, who have created that displacement for impoverished Black American tenants, we are "consenting" or "giving permission" to the continued state policies of genocide against our own racial-ethnic group. We are not supposed to vote for the candidate, who is predicted as the most likely winner, so we can temporarily feel like winners. We are supposed to vote for candidates, who are going to give us something in exchange for our votes, such as reparations, safety, and the enforcement of our human rights. #blacks, #blackamericans, #poor, #poverty, #homelessness, #gentrification, #slaverevoltbyvote, #voting, #votes, #withholdvotes, #swingvotes, #displacemnt, #integration, #safety, #violence, #safetyinnumbers, #sociology, #quidproquo. less

When I learned in a sociology textbook, years ago in college, that integration, accommodation, assimilation, miscegenation, and displacement via immigration were all forms of genocide for natives and slaves, I started to recognize MLK and other Black integrationists as a demographic of house slaves, helping whites to drive Black American slave descendants into extinction. In the link to an article by Tim Appelo in The Hollywood Reporter, dated February 2015, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/selma-sex-tape-controversy-mlk-774974, historian David Garrow, corrects the film, Selma, about historical inaccuracies. However, one thing that is confirmed according to Garrow's interviews with people, who knew MLK Jr., is that MLK Jr. had multiple extramarital affairs. The problem I have with Garrow is the following statement: "Only one [of King's girlfriends] was significant, and she's still alive." Garrow's attitude is that the extramarital affairs were totally okay or insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but only one mistress that MLK may have had romantic feelings for was the only one that should be important to us. As a historian, who interviewed people, who knew MLK, he knows that one woman's name and possibly all of the others, but won't release it. If government has imposed a holiday to make us all remember MLK, shouldn't we know about those other women or any illegitimate children fathered by MLK? Shouldn't we remember MLK for the man he really was rather than a false idol on a pedestal for us to worship and model ourselves after? From the viewpoint of a wife or a follower of a so-called "Man of god," all of MLK's affairs are all important even if he felt nothing for those women, whom he exploited. From the perspective of Coretta, his wife, even if she failed to confront him or hold him accountable, and the perspective of MLK's Black American followers, wouldn't the fact that this so-call "Man of god" had any extramarital affairs provoke doubt in his moral leadership and his character? Was MLK telling Black Americans that integration would make us equal, because he as a highly educated person with a PhD knows it will based on his education and research? Or, is he telling Black Americans we need integration, because he really wants to leave his already, light-skinned, Black wife for a white woman? Garrow interview of Coretta when she was alive confirms that she never confronted MLK on infidelity. According to Garrow, Coretta told him: "During our whole marriage we never had one single serious discussion about either of us being involved with another person. … If I ever had any suspicions, … I never would have even mentioned them to Martin." I guess back in those days, women felt they had no rights to hold their husbands accountable and they had no options in labor as single mothers to sustain themselves and their children. Back then, wives were defined by their husbands professional and financial accomplishments. Perhaps, if she felt that if she exposed him for the man MLK really was, she would bring shame to herself and her children. However, in our life times, we have seen ministers exposed for hypocrisy, infidelity, hiring prostitutes, or homosexual extramarital affairs. Shouldn't we scrutinize MLK's personal life too? MLK Jr. was a public figure. Shouldn't that make his infidelity fair game for religious, political, and historical analyses about his beliefs, teachings, and leadership? If there are FBI tapes that prove his wife couldn't even expect loyalty from MLK, shouldn't Black American slave descendants question MLK's loyalty to his Black American followers? If the wife of any kind of minister or politician could not expect loyalty from her husband, the followers or voters of any leader should question that person's leadership? Isn't it possible that there are illegitimate children out there, who did not inherit any money after MLK's death and should have or should be using the MLK Jr. name and intellectual property for their benefit and aren't? MLK's infidelity matters, because it means those of us, who have been brainwashed by teachers, historians, politicians, and the mass media to worship MLK Jr. as a secular idol or god, should now question whether integration is detrimental to us based on sociological principles rather than relying on a hypocrite for political guidance? That was Coretta's business for putting up with MLK's infidelity, but we have a government, forcing us and our kids to take a day of our lives or spend class time to honor a minister, who couldn't honor his wife, his religious beliefs, or his wedding vows. We have moral and scientific grounds to question integration through MLK Jr. and stop portraying him as "great" all of the time. Before he died, he realized integration would not be enough to make Black Americans equal, so he had planned to pursue a March on Washington for our reparations. Can those of us, who believe MLK sacrosanct, agree that he didn't know everything and had to learn from other Black Americans like Malcolm X that integration would not be enough? MLK's leadership was flawed, because he was flawed. He is the face of integration and integration continues to harm Black American slave descendants. We have to start portraying MLK Jr. for the way he really was and give him credit for realizing that Black Americans are owed our reparations. We are all flawed. MLK Jr. was flawed, but he grew by learning from others. MLK's infidelity gives Black Americans slave descendants grounds to demand scholars portray MLK as a human with a questionable agenda that ultimately harmed the Black American community, but he relaized the mistake right before he was killed. Integration and gentrification (as displacement) are forms of genocide for Black American slave descendants. Does MLK Jr." infidelity matter to any of you? Please explain why so or why not? #mlk, #integration, #genocide, #sociology, #selma, #infidelity, #coretta, #corettascottking, #davidgarrow, #idol, #hypocrasy, #idolworship, #mythology, #fiction. less
Historical veracity was a hot-button issue for Ava DuVernay's best picture-nominated biopic on Martin Luther King Jr. Sometimes, however, the truth is unknowable, as a top academic appraises two versions of the movie's script centered on scandal.

If so, what kind of impact do you think that worshiping a white god has on a Black mind? Is it positive or negative? Does it breed black-on-black racial oppression? Does it perpetuate the use of the n-word being used as a weapon by blacks, who think they are racially, culturally, or economically distinct, against impoverished blacks? Does worshiping a white god perpetuate a slave mentality and/or Stockholm's Syndrome for Blacks? Would worshiping a Black god be psychologically and socially healthier than worshiping a god, who looks like our oppressors? Do you think that worshiping a Black god will perpetuate intra-racial peace? #religion, #god, #psychology, #sociology, #doll, #experiment, #slave, #stockholm less
