Note
from the REPNOW Newsletter Editor:
I would first like to commend all my Brothers and Sisters who are remaining strong in this our thrust for REPARATIONS NOW IN OUR LIFETIME! Our Captors would want nothing more than for us to give up and become complacent and tire of our plight for justice. All we need do is get even more people involved in this fight for THE DEBT, i.e., Reparations for Descendants of Slaves.
I
beg your pardon if your article is not posted in this edition of the RepNow
Newsletter. After collecting a
great number of articles onto a diskette, I was unable to open the file. My only
alternative was to go back into all my old E-mails that remained and collect
what I could. Serves me right for
using generic diskettes!!! However, that doesn’t mean that this
edition falls short, because it doesn’t…
Since September 11, we’ve heard a lot about freedom, patriotism, and “God Bless America.” We’ve also heard about “terrorism and evil,” and a whole lot of propaganda. Unfortunately, we have heard absolutely NOTHING positive regarding the needs of Black Peoples in the United States, in other parts of the world, or in Africa. It’s as if we and our predicament disappeared into oblivion.
The
constant focus is on White America and the needs of Israelis. And we wonder why foreigners hate
Americans and White Jews. With
their rhetoric and arrogance, Americans make other Europeans feel inferior as
they boast about being the greatest country in the world, ad nauseam and how
America must be protected. Uh…what
about the other Nations on this planet, Mr. Uncle Sam H. America? And why should Nations protect Americans
and Israelis when these people couldn’t care less about others? Let the blame for injustice and race hatred
fall on the right peoples.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, WHITE JEWS, AND ALL NATIONS WITH JUSTICE…for its participation in the TransAtlantic Slave Trade, for forced migration of defenseless peoples, for ethnic cleansing, for racism and discrimination, and for gross human rights violations unto this day. May GOD bless America and White Jews for deceiving the whole world about the TRUTH of the matter!
When
White Folks make the news, in their desperation they call on GOD. But they forget the meaning of
compassion for human beings who are of a different hue. Their child is lost, and the
entire nation gets involved in a recovery effort. Their child is deathly ill, and they
want to know, “Why is this happening to me?” Well, I’ll tell you why!!!
OPEN LETTER TO THE DESCENDANTS OF THE SLAVE MASTERS
YOU, WHITE PEOPLE for far too long controlled, abused, and repressed Slaves and their Descendants without mercy. And you have the audacity to believe that the so-called god that you created is real and able to save and keep you from all evil. Your blond and blue-eyed god hasn’t helped you and much less Black Folks. And what seems more real than not is that (for you) the handwriting is on the wall. The terrorist attack of September 11, raised many an eyebrow. In addition to that, your forests are burning down to the ground with hundreds of your homes in the process. Your land and waters are polluted. Your people are dying from all manner of diseases, destruction, storms, earthquakes, etc., etc. Your government is not stable; there is ruler against ruler. Your government lacks morals and compassion, and your economical, political, and social systems are replete with corruption, fraud, and scandal. And let’s not fool ourselves. There is no “UNDER GOD WE TRUST” or “JUSTICE FOR ALL” no matter where you etch, engrave, or write these words.
These days, due to your manipulating the affairs of foreign countries, you’re hated of all nations, and you have Third World nations wishing for your demise. All of which you have brought upon yourself, and if you can find one honest bone in you, you will admit it. You should have extended your hand and OUR tax dollars in absolute sincerity rather than for manipulative means. And now you are wondering why all this is happening to you.
Well,
take one good look around your country and see what you have done to the Native
Americans and to the Descendants of Slaves. Pay to go see how they live on
Reservations and in Ghettoes like you paid to go see “Ground Zero.” And you had and still have the audacity
to think that the god you created during the Roman Empire was real and put you
on TOP OF THE WORLD with carte blanche to treat Slaves out of Africa with utmost
hatred and oppression. Let the TRUTH all hang out! And let the True and the Living GOD
reveal HIMSELF to you until Reparations are paid and until justice is
served.
My
suggestion is that you pay The DEBT and make amends. Although no amount of money can correct
the wrongs YOU have done to these defenseless peoples, you can give us our
FREEDOM and Reparations to establish better lives for ourselves, be it in
friendly countries or wherever. Give us the opportunity to pursue a
happiness of our choosing. Or,
continue to let the All-Mighty GOD let justice be served for these barbaric
crimes against humanity.
REPARATIONS NOW IN OUR LIFETIME is the
right thing to do. And to
ignore the atrocities Blacks endure and to continue to deny us Reparations would
not be advisable given the present state of America. YOU WHITE FOLKS are paying
for what you’ve done, and you don’t yet know it.
And this brings to mind the current article in the Time Magazine (July 1, 2002: THE BIBLE & THE APOCALYPSE - Why more Americans are reading and talking about THE END OF THE WORLD) O’ it’s the end of the world (so to speak) all right. But more accurately, it’s the beginning of the end of this present world system. And by the way, the events of the Book of Revelation are as fabricated as your story about the so-called Virgin Birth. If you want to know about the end of time, then find out from a genuine descendant of the Children of Israel (and not a Jewish Convert), the people to whom the ONE True and Living GOD reveals information. In the interim consider what thus saith the LORD: “I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once” (Isaiah 42:14). Then again, maybe you can call it “The End of the World” - your cruel, cruel world!
THIS IS NOT ABOUT HATE!!! THIS IS ABOUT ENDING OUR SORROWS! THIS IS ABOUT REPARATIONS, MY PEOPLE’S FREEDOM, OUR RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION, OUR RIGHT TO WORSHIP FREELY, OUR RIGHT TO HUMAN RIGHTS, AND OUR RIGHT TO LEAVE THE LANDS OF OUR CAPTIVITY IF THIS IS OUR DESIRE. THIS IS ABOUT OUR HOPES AND DREAMS TO MAKE BETTER LIVES FOR OURSELVES AND FOR OUR PROGENY.
We’re
hurting, we despair, and we suffer untold depravity, impoverishment, and
heartache and your hands because of the way we are compelled to live. We are constantly reminded that we are
Black. We know this, and we know
our history. We are who we are, and
we cannot change it nor do we wish to do so. Therefore, we take pride in our
Blackness and difference and only desire to enjoy better lives and prosper in
integrity and fairness, and live in GOD’s Peace. Let the FBI, the CIA, and whatsoever
organizations know that although we are Black, we are HUMAN
BEINGS.
Better for you to do a little soul
searching than to condemn the GOD’s Truth!
LET MY PEOPLE GO!

REPARATIONS REVOLVES AROUND
RESTORATION
Reparations revolves around Restoration. This concept goes far beyond monetary compensation.
We the Afro-Descendants throughout the Western Hemisphere were robbed of everything precious to a people: our original language and culture, our land, our family structure and our ability to govern ourselves. Since 1998 the Honorable Silis Muhammad has repeatedly testified before diverse U.N. bodies, including the Human Rights Commission, concerning the U.S. government's practices against our people: ethnocide, forced assimilation and institutionalized racism. By oppressing us in diverse ways the USA is violating specific U.N. covenants.
The goal of the international legal battle for Reparations is to obtain all forms of restitution which are due to ourselves, including money, gold, real estate and more importantly the freedom to return to our Original Homeland and establish our own Government and Economy on some of this Earth that we can call our own.

INTERNATIONAL BLACK UNITED
FRONT
June 1, 2002
Here's
a proposal to all of the "Pan-African" big guns out there (some of whom I know
are on some of the lists I'm sending this to).
An "International Black United Front"
(IBUF) organization much like the National Black United Front of the states only
the IBUF organization would be an international organization composed of NBUFs
formed around the globe. If this organization already exists, and I simply
haven't heard of it, someone please inform me of it.
Post
the link to the website for all of us. If it doesn't exist, I propose that those
with the heart, knowledge, and experience, consider bringing it into being. Whether we're supporting reparations
or laying down plans to lift ourselves up, an IBUF is needed for organizing our
present and future international efforts.

INTERNATIONAL BLACK UNITED
FRONT
June 2,
2002
Djehuti,
I think that the big international
conference coming up in Barbados in October is about creating an international
Black united front. This
conference is the outgrowth of several years worth of meetings and dialogs
between Africans from the continent and the Diaspora. These encounters were focused on
creating a united front for the 2001 UN
World Conference Against Racism that was held in Durban, South African this
past August and September.
History
was made there: this was the largest united gathering of African peoples from
thruout the world since the Garvey Movement (i.e. the United Negro Improvement
Association- UNIA of the 1930's).
The forcefulness of this united group did
not go unnoticed by the Imperialist powers and their colored underlings:
they are working around the clock at this very moment trying to undermine our
powerful Reparations dynamic. But, like a loaded giant truck speeding downhill
without brakes... there ain't no stoppin' us now? as long as we reamin building the
united front that has already begun!
Hope to see you in Barbados in
October!
In
Struggle,

INTERNATIONAL BLACK UNITED FRONT
Friend,
Since
1900 there have been a number of UNITED FRONTS in various names and formations
that led to the civil rights, anti-apartheid coalitions and a number of
antiona-state National Liberation Movements but we still have to consolidate
them under the Pan-African Internationalist Non-racialist and Socialist Black
United Front!
We,
Azania Heritage International (AHI) would be part of that.

N’COBRA KEEPS REPARATIONS IN THE FOREFRONT
June 22,
2002
The Philadelphia Chapter of the National
Coalition of Blacks For Reparations In America and A Year of Black Presence
Community Forum held the third in a series of town meetings last Tuesday evening
at historic Berean Institute in North Philadelphia to talk about a topic near
and dear to their hearts Reparations.
The jammed gymnasium audience listened attentively to a lecture by Dr. Clarence J. Munford Professor Emeritus of Black Studies and History at the University of Guelph in Ontario Canada to speak about the horrors of slavery and the psycho-pathology of the European slavers as well as the trauma of post slavery American apartheid.
Dr. Munford the author of Race and Reparations and Race and Civilization laid out the basis for the claims for restitution, indemnification and reparations. 'This backdrop called slavery is not something remote and neutral. It was a whole tissue of atrocities" Explained Munford. "Reparations is not an end, it is a means to an end. We have to have a vision of a transformation, a transformed status for ourselves in that society." Munford shared how he traveled to Nigeria after earning his Ph.D. to gain an understanding of the motherland and get a feeling of the traumas incurred during the African holocaust. From there he traveled to Europe, the West Indies and throughout the US conducting an extensive archival study over twenty years to see for himself what our ancestors underwent and experienced. The lecture was a part of an ongoing series to promote the passage of HR 40 the Congressional resolution calling for a federally sanctioned commission to study reparations.
Milton McGriff the AYBP Coordinator
explained the focus and thrust of the program. "The mission we established for A
Year of Black Presence is to get HR 40 out of committee and into a hearing and
get it passed. AS Dr. Clarence
Munford said earlier it is not a Reparations bill it's a study bill. But we
feel if there is no discussion there is no restitution so that is the start.
Then the work begins for us to influence the commission so they can only come
out with one answer and
that requires us doing our homework now, thrashing
out the questions between ourselves now and being ready when we get that bill
passed. Our mission is to get that bill
passed so we can begin the dialogue."
McGriff was ecstatic at the turn out,
enthusiasm and participation for the lecture and the question and answer
period." I was really pleased
to see a crowd this size tonight. We stole this idea from our DC Chapter of
having community forums because what we do are two things: we're building abase the letters (to the US
Congress Judiciary Committee) are more important to us than they are to the
judiciary committee, we want them to know but we don't expect them to
respond to that. But we're trying to build a base, and we're trying to find people who are
informed who can get people to thinking, working, talking and studying.
This is going to continue until we get HR 40 passed. People look at the year of Black Presence Coalition but its not about being a year. We took the term from Randal Robinson's book, in fact it's a tactical strategy that we may end up changing. A Year of Black Presence will take as long as it takes and I know it's going to take more than a year. We're in this for the long haul."
A Year of Black Presence is part of N'COBRA’s community based grassroots initiative to galvanize, educate and mobilize people to support HR 40. The regular monthly N'COBRA meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month at the UNIA building 16th and Cecil B. Moore Avenue at 6:30 PM.

REPARATIONS: AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE!!!
June 14,
2002
I have a new argument for Reparations!! I
thought we could get families involved by getting children to write letters to
the president and their Congress people. What do you think? My niece and I
are writing president Bush now. Here is what I wrote about the new argument:
Reparations: As American As Apple
Pie!!
For
anyone who has a true vision of what America should really be about, Reparations
are as American as apple pie. The vision
of what America should be must include an America free of racism, free of
intolerance, free of hatred, free of injustice, free of inequality and free of
people who promote such things, especially in high office. If America is to
live up to being a place where all men are created equal and where people can
truly go after life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then reparations
Must be part of the equation.
Reparations for African Americans must be
part of the equation because Reparations are about healing what was damaged.
Three hundred years of slavery, the African American Holocaust, the hanging of
African Americans, the rapes, beatings, burnings, discrimination, murder and
other mistreatment. Should these things
be part of America and shouldn't a true, free and just America par restitution
for its past wrongs?
Native
Americans now have land and gambling casinos to bring in revenue, Japanese
Americans were given payment after many of them were interred in prison camps
during W.W.II. It is only right that
America, which benefited greatly and continues to benefit from the African
American Holocaust, also pay restitution for that.
This restitution, in my opinion, should and
could take the form of building foundations for African Americans run by
progressive Black people; educational grants, especially to attend historically
Black colleges and Universities; monuments to commemorate the Black struggle
especially the African American holocaust; full employment and employment
training; and systemic changes in the system to alleviate all vestiges of racism
and discrimination.
There should also be goals of forgiving the debt to African countries and making U.S. foreign policy less hegemonic and more humane. There should be goals of ending world poverty because U.S. policy is largely what has caused such poverty. It should be a National goal to bring Black wealth up from its present rate of 1 and a half % of U.S. wealth to about 12 to 15 percent of the wealth. This would be equal to the percentage of Blacks in the U.S. Whites can no longer control 87% of the nation's wealth. There are many other aspects that I have not mentioned that must be included.
I have
sent this e mail to many friends and family.

OPTIONAL REPARATIONS
May 28, 2002
I've just
tossed away another losing lottery ticket. This one would have fetched the tidy
pretax annuitized sum of $80 million. When the jackpot builds up once more, I'll
probably try it again.
I'm trying to make it clear, before I start
to talk about reparations for slavery, that I'm not above developing an interest
in money I didn't earn. If the group headed by Charles Ogletree, the Harvard law
professor, can get me a few mil as compensation for the fact that my
great-grandparents (and many generations of their ancestors) made unrequited
contributions to the development of the country, I'll take it.
So why have I hesitated to become a
full-fledged advocate of reparations? In part, I suppose, because I have no
way of figuring out -- even of thinking about -- what the American people owe me
for my grandparents' unpaid labor. Or my parents' undercompensated labor. Or the
jobs I couldn't get, or the income I was denied based in large measure on
race.
The whole
reparations idea starts to sound like an appeal to national guilt, but an appeal
that requires me to assume the victim's role. That's one hand. Here's the other:
There are problems that black Americans
suffer that have their deep roots in slavery and racism. It doesn't seem
reasonable that the thing to do about this legacy is . . . nothing.
Which is
why I'm glad I ran into James P.
Comer the other day. The Yale
University professor of psychiatry and extraordinarily successful public
school reformer was at North Carolina State University, where the two of us were
among the school's commencement honorees, when I broached the subject of
reparations.
It's something he's thought
about.
"My feeling is that we need an approach
that is fair to everybody -- that allows the larger society to get off its
unproductive guilt-and-defense response and that allows African Americans not to
feel victimized, while at the same time making it possible to address the
problem that was created by the conditions of slavery.
"The
problem manifests itself in underachievement and underpreparation in all the
things that require high levels of development, and overrepresentation in such
things as criminal activity and dependency. This is largely the aftermath of slavery,
the failure of African Americans to have access to the same political and
economic situation as everybody else when everybody else had
it."
And what
would he do about it now? He would enact legislation to allow black taxpayers to
direct up to 95 percent of their federal income taxes directly to a series of
foundations set up specifically to help those blacks who have been most hurt by slavery and its
legacy. These black-run foundations would have two main focuses: educating
young people for work, family life and citizenship, and promoting economic
development and economic access for the rest of us.
Here, as
they used to say, is the beauty part. The proposal wouldn't take any money out
of the economy, but merely redirect it. And, says Comer, "It would be in the interest of all of
America. It's important to the health of the entire society not to have
another generation of non-mainstream and nonproductive -- even counterproductive
– African Americans. It simply costs too much, economically, socially and
civically."
One problem with his proposal would involve
choosing which foundations and which leaders would become custodians of black
America's redirected taxes. Comer says it is the sort of problem private
foundations deal with all the time. "We'd have to have the same sort of process
-- very careful selection of directors and officers, a careful development of a
set of criteria based on the understanding that the purpose is to bring our
people into the mainstream of society. It would be important to pick people who
have a track record for solid work in this area -- perhaps people who head
similar organizations right now."
There
might also be the logistical problem of determining which taxpayers would
qualify to have their income taxes diverted. Perhaps the way around that would
be to make the matter voluntary and nonracial. That is, any taxpayer could designate up
to 95 percent of his or her taxes for the foundations. Presumably almost all
African Americans would so designate, but a great many others might as well.
Comer may not have a perfect proposal, but
I'd love to hear it discussed.

Professor
James Comer's approach to Reparations recommends legislation which would allow
Blacks to channel 95% of their federal tax dollars into Black-run foundations
designed to elevate Blacks. However, we
the Afro-Descendants, should be exempt from all taxes and should acquire the
power, through international legal means, of building our own Government and our
own Economy on some of this Earth that we can call our own.

[“He (Comer) would enact legislation to allow black taxpayers to direct up to 95 percent of their federal income taxes directly to a series of foundations set up specifically to help those blacks who have been most hurt by slavery and its legacy.” Let us not forget that Blacks all over the world have been hurt and in multiple ways from the TransAtlantic Slave Trade. We suffer with a societal, incurable malady directly related to the pigmentation of our skin. Regardless of how economically well off a Black person might be, he/she is an outcast. Ask Secretary of State Colin Powell if you don’t understand what I’m talking about. But don’t ask Justice Clarence Thomas because he’s, to no avail, trying to pass and is perpetuating the suffering of Blacks rather than working to eliminate the racism and gross injustices Blacks endure in this so-called “America the Beautiful” and “Land of the Free.” T.Y., Editor]

MORE ON OPTIONAL REPARATIONS…
May 29, 2002
First let me say my brothers and sisters,
the Descendants of our Enslaved Ancestors are in a pitiful and sad state of
mind. This post is not an attempt to win support nor is it an attempt to get
your approval or disapproval. These are the facts that surround Reparation and
regardless of those Black americans, who are intent to confuse, divert and
misdirect away from the truth and just purpose for Reparation. The truth about
Reparation will stand firm by those among us who will not compromise the truth
of its intent.
A Liar about Reparation will never prosper in the avocation for it. Make all of the noise you so desire but if your call for Reparation is ill intent, you will not succeed. If your call for Reparation is presented necked before the world, you will become the clowns of the world made to look like the Selfish Black capitalist americans that you desire to become. Reparation when introduced before the world must be fully and well dressed in order for it to be respected. Reparation must be dressed in the same cloths as Repatriation and Nation State Status Back in Afrika and if an attempt to dress it in any other way, make you to look like a hustler without self - respect and such behavior bring tears to our Enslaved Ancestors because of the insult such a behavior expresses toward our Enslaved Ancestors.
Reparation is not an option but is a debt
owed our Enslaved Ancestors and must be paid and its Time has come.
Reparation and the lottery should not be mentioned in the same breath, either Mr. Raspberry is being a clown about
Reparation / Repatriation or he is showing his ignorance about its Just Cause
and True meaning.
Mr.
Raspberry implied that because he does not know what america owes in Reparation,
prevents him from becoming a full fledge advocate for Reparation / Repatriation,
well Mr. Raspberry it is simple and
I will tell you what it is america owes, it is money, now how much is the
question, and I do not view that as being an unsolveable problem.
What
a foolish statement for Mr. Raspberry to make, in view of it coming from an
intelligent man. The call for Reparation
/ Repatriation has nothing to do with guilt.
Reparation / Repatriation is not about
being fair with anybody but is about being Just in honoring a debt owed.
Reparation / Repatriation is not about our feelings but is about the acts
portrayed against our Enslaved Ancestors.
Reparation / Repatriation is not about the
result from Slavery but is about CHATTEL SLAVERY Only. Reparation / Repatriation is not about
our present condition that come from the prejudice Racism and Discrimination
supported by unjust Laws but is about Chattel Slavery of which there was no Law
of condemnation. Reparation - Repatriation must not be made to seem like the
victims off-springs must bear the burden of paying Reparation in no form. All Blacks who are descendants of our
Enslaved Ancestors have been hurt equally by Chattel Slavery and to suggest
other wise, make proof of my claim. The true advocates of Reparation -
Repatriation is not concerned about what is in the interest of all americans but
what is Just and in the best interest of the descendants of those who were
Enslaved and that which will best serve the interest of Afrika and the Afrikan
Nation.
It
never fails. It seems like there
are always those among us who seem compelled to take on the responsibility and
obligation of white america, even when it will serve to our detriment and
disrespect of self.
Not is the sentiment of the Sankofa Reclamation Movement and those of you who share our sentiment is being asked to come join us in Detroit on July 19,20,21, at a serious strategy and planning conference, where the entire condition of the Afrikan will be addressed both physical and Spiritual.
