As a black man I am perplexed by the flocking en masse of black people to Christianity. For two hundred years the abduction of black people from Africa was justified as "Christianizing the African savages". After the Civil War when black people were freed and were able to choose their own religions for themselves. Too many ignorant niggers couldn't get in line fast enough to become Christians. For three hundred years our women were raped and our men were murdered by people calling themselves Christians. To this day, in the black community the Baptist church is exploiting my people and a blind loyalty to the men professing to be the servants of God prevents them from stopping it. We've got Reverend Pigfoot and the jigaboo all-star choir milking the black community for between ten and twenty percent of it's income, for what? Look at the cars that Baptist ministers drive, you'll see that (especially in the black community) nine out of ten are driving either Cadillacs or Lincolns. These wolves in shepherds' clothing have cars that cost more than the houses of most of the members of their flocks.

The thought of anyone taking away the minds and especially the dollars of their congregations threatens them so much that Baptist ministers at times strike out at groups like the Nation of Islam without provocation. This awful example is one of the myriad reasons that black people can't get along. Jews have learned to help out other Jews. Italians have learned to help out other Italians. Irish people have learned how to help out other Irish people. Black people quite often go out of their way to bring down and hurt other black people. As examples of this the trigger men of Malcolm X's assassination were black and the man who killed Huey P Newton was black.

Until black people step out from underneath the robes of the Baptist church we as a people are doomed to play catch up throughout the rest of our existence.

I am equally confused by the lemming like following that the liberals in our government command of most black Americans. It was a Republican, Abraham Lincoln, who freed my people from the bondage of slavery. Now, modern day liberals are attempting to re-enslave black people by making them dependent of welfare, affirmative action, and forced race based quotas. These programs are not only a slap in the face of every black American who is brilliant enough to earn success, but also create an illusion that every black person who achieves has done so only because of a racial preference.

My problems with racial issues are not limited to my own people. I've grown weary of white people in high profile positions taking shots at O.J.. Simpson every chance they get. I think the cause of this is that the legal system of this country has been engineered to serve the interests of the white majority. That is what allows lawyers to change venue and get a jury pool that is either less ethnically diverse or with specific political beliefs.

The police who brutally beat Rodney King did not face trial in Los Angeles county, because of the high number of black people who would be included in the jury pool. There was a change of venue to Simi Valley, which was mostly white. The defense knew it would have a better chance of acquittal with a jury that was white and well to do. It took a riot which caused billions of dollars in damage and cost dozens of people their lives to bring the brutes to justice.

Of course I'm not an anarchist. I believe that the rule of law must be maintained as long as the law is the servant of the people. All of the people, not just the rich, not just the politically connected.

I also see the need for people to enforce the law. However police officers must be made to understand that they are servants of the people. That they enforce the law and that they are not the law.

The perfect modern example of this is the Jonny Gammage case here in Pittsburgh. 5 Pittsburgh area police acted as judge, jury, and executioner. 5 police officers beat to death an unarmed 135 pound man. Only three of them faced trial, one of those three was acquitted and the other two have seen multiple mistrials. I ask you this, if Gammage had been a white off duty cop and and his death had been caused by 5 black men, what do you think the outcome of the incident would be?
