Race - "A Nation of Cowards"

May 30, 2010

SENT TO: Obama, Pelosi, Bishop, Reid, Schumer, Gillibrand

Following the inauguration of President Barack Obama, Attorney General, Eric Holder referred to the United States as a nation of cowards in discussing the issue of race.  In response to that condemnation, the following is presented for consideration and discussion.

THE OUR-RACE VALUE SYSTEM

The “Our-Race Value System” is adapted from one written by a proponent of racial focus in 1981.

The original author withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in a big-city school system. His dedication to the pursuit of excellence, despite systematic denials, has inspired a race-specific group. They have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering members of their race for guidance in fashioning an instrument of racial self-determination, their Racial Value System.

Beginning in 1982, an annual Racial Value System - Educational Scholarship in the name of the original author was instituted. The first recipient of the Award, which is given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies their Racial Value System, was given to a member of that racial group.

THE OUR-RACE VALUE SYSTEM

These Racial Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever members of our race are gathered. They consist of the following concepts:

1. Commitment to God. "The God of our weary years" will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become Racial Christian Activists, soldiers for our racial freedom and the dignity of all humankind.

2. Commitment to our racial Community. The highest level of achievement for any person of our race must be a contribution of strength and continuity of our racial Community.

3. Commitment to the Family of our race. My racial family circle must generate strength, stability and love, despite the uncertainty of externals, because these characteristics are required if the developing person is to withstand warping by our racist competitive society. Those of our race who are blessed with membership in a strong family unit must reach out and expand that blessing to the less fortunate.

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education. We must forswear anti-intellectualism. Continued survival demands that each person of our race be developed to the utmost of his/her mental potential despite the inadequacies of the formal education process. “Real education” fosters understanding of ourselves as well as every aspect of our environment. Also, it develops within us the ability to fashion concepts and tools for better utilization of our resources, and more effective solutions to our problems. Since the majority of those of our race have been denied such learning, our race’s Education must include elements that produce high school graduates with marketable skills, a trade or qualifications for apprenticeships, or proper preparation for college. Basic education for all of those of our race should include Mathematics, Science, Logic, General Semantics, Participative Politics, Economics and Finance, and the Care and Nurture of our race’s minds.

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence. To the extent that we individually reach for, even strain for excellence, we increase, geometrically, the value and resourcefulness of our race’s Community. We must recognize the relativity of one’s best; this year’s best can be bettered next year. Such is the language of growth and development. We must seek to excel in every endeavor.

6. Adherence to Our-Race Work Ethic. "It is becoming harder to find qualified people to work in our towns." Whether this is true or not, it represents one of the many reasons given by businesses and industries for deserting our areas. We must realize that a location with good facilities, adequate transportation and a reputation for producing skilled workers will attract industry. We are in competition with other cities, states and nations for jobs. High productivity must be a goal of our race’s workforce.
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect. To accomplish anything worthwhile requires self-discipline. We must be a community of self-disciplined persons if we are to actualize and utilize our own human resources, instead of perpetually submitting to exploitation by others. Self-discipline, coupled with a respect for self, will enable each of us to be an instrument of our race’s Progress and a model for our race’s Youth.

8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness." Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the "talented tenth" of those subjugated; especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor's control.

Those so identified are separated from the rest of the people by:
●  Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
●  Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
●  Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of "we" and "they" instead of "us."
●  So, while it is permissible to chase "middleclassness" with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method - the psychological entrapment of racial "middleclassness." If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our "voluntary" contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, our race’s people no longer will be deprived of their birthright: the leadership, resourcefulness and example of their own talented persons.

9. Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to our race’s Community.

10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting our race’s Institutions.

11. Pledge Allegiance to all of our race’s Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Our-Race Value System.

12. Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Our-Race Value System. To measure the worth and validity of all activity in terms of positive contributions to the general welfare of our race’s Community and the Advancement of our race’s People towards freedom.

1.  What do you think about this?  Your comments are appreciated. 

Citizens need to feel that the US Government is fulfilling its purpose to protect them.

2.  Could you please tell me why the case against Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson – the two New Black Panther Party members accused of intimidating voters in Philadelphia on November 4, 2008 – was dropped by Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Loretta King and Attorney General Eric Holder?
