I had to post this follow-up to the entry regarding reparations. Silas Muhammed has some validity in his diatribe against Barack Obama. He discussed reparations & his disdain for Obama because he does not support it. Many may wonder why that is still an issue. I think I found a great documentary that reveals the answer. The producer/director of this film is Katrina Browne. This is the story of her white forefather's extensive connection to slavery. It is called "Traces of the Trade" & just follow the link to the website.

This film traces the DeWolf family's history as the largest slave-trading family in U.S history. Myths about slavery are dispelled when it is revealed that Katrina Browne's ancestors were Northerners. I believe in doing research to back up what I am saying. In my next posting, companies with a history in the slave trade (JP Morgan) will be listed. The descendants of those in the business of owning & trading slaves have benefited greatly. U.S history & economy lessons never discuss the existing corporations that were part of this brutal history. You will only learn the real story through viewing documentaries such as this.

How can black americans reconcile themselves to the fact that the effects from slavery on whites is far different than blacks? Slavery has played a role in the financial status of many white families of America. The ones from " old money" are sometimes from " slave or blood,sweat,& tear money. These families are no different than the children of murderous mafia dons or drug lords. Your money is blood money. It was acquired under the most inhumane conditions that one could imagine. Please watch this film no matter what color you are. It explains the dissent between blacks & whites that persist until this day. America cannot restore the traditions, cultures, community, or anything else that was lost in slavery. But in order to move on, you must know your past. There is a lost sense of pride in knowing your ancestry when you are an african-american. It is similar to those who have been adopted & are desperately seeking their real identity. Except all the records concerning your family have disintegrated into the dust long ago. That feeling of total loss & being incomplete as a person is present in many descendants of slaves. Meditate on that & check out this film.

Did She Kill Caylee? Leave A Comment! I Think So!

Have you ever known a habitual liar? Casey Anderson is exactly that! It is obvious to me that she is heavily involved in her daughter's disappearance. She lies blatantly to the police while talking calmly. This woman is void of all feeling because she knows what happened to her child. It's an outrage which has sparked protests outside of the home of Casey's mother. Because somehow, she keeps getting re-arrested then posting bail! Strange.

What is really going on here? I just don't understand why she's not on trial for murder by now. They do not need the body unless they have no evidence. Those police tapes must not be enough. For Caylee's sake, I hope that her mother had nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, there is the issue of maternal love & connection. Remember the woman who microwaved her child. Look at the amount of heat related deaths from children being left in vehicles. There is a disconnect that may stem from postpartum depression that festered into something more sinister. It has already been said that Casey did not want a child when she got pregnant with Caylee.

Who knows why this woman is misleading the authorities & not helping them find her child? What I do know is that she is guilty of something. I hope they get her like they did Scott Peterson. They are both sociopaths who only use people to boost their emotions. This woman felt like the baby brought her down so she resumed her old life. Most mothers give up the nightlife in order to stay home with their child. Especially if their child was missing. It is reasonable to deduce that she knows where Caylee Anderson is. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone because this is unreal. She should be in jail & not constantly out on bail.

How Black Muslims Really Feel About Barack Obama For President! Silas Muhammed Speaks!

So Obama's a Muslim, huh? If so he certainly is not a black muslim. They obviously are not a part of the african-americans who support him. According to the media reports, there is speculation that he is a muslim. Reverend Wright was a huge detraction which almost cost him the democratic nomination. Sean Hannity questioned his patriotism because of this.

Louis Farrakhan has been linked to Barack Obama in this desperate attempt to brand him as a threat to American ideals. Let me ask those who believe that to watch Silas Muhammed speak. In this video, he reveals a sentiment that is shared amongst those who have the same mindset. Those black people who want reparations & accountability for the still lingering effects of slavery do not support Barack Obama. He is not a descendant of slaves so therefore he cannot identify with most african-americans. This is how they truly feel. How come the different factions within the black community is never covered in the media? We have muslims, christians, black hebrews,etc... So, when you say that african -americans will overwhelmingly vote for Barack Obama who are you referring to? Obviously not all.

I am the descendant of slaves who does not seek reparations for past evil deeds. I want accountability & for those who profited from slavery to share the profits with the slave descendants. That's not going to truly repair the past but it would be an acknowledgement of wrongdoing. The american indians have been compensated for the genocide that occurred during the establishment of America. The mistreatment of african-americans was not deserved & needs to be rectified. Even in this day & age, we are viewed as less than. Why? Because of slavery.

Whether or not Barack Obama supports reparations is not going to make my support waiver. I remember Malcolm X's demise & I have serious doubt about the sincerity of black muslims. This is a political organization that has it's own motives. What was the point of the Million Man March? If you are going to tear a black man down in his greatest hour of need, you shouldn't have bothered! Barack Obama is the best choice for president & Silas Muhammed knows it! He is a politician who cannot afford to pander to just blacks. This is not a black or white country. It is a collage of races & he is a collage of cultures. He was born in Hawaii, schooled in Indonesia, & gained political experience in Chicago. This man is mulitcultural which is good for America. We need someone with an objective view. He's got it.

He is not a white man or black man. He is a composite of both. Just what this country needs. Someone with no racial baggage. Whites & blacks have that due to slavery. I do not think that he does not understand slavery. He is an educated man married to a woman who is probably a descendant of slaves. If Barack Obama is lily white as he is portrayed in this video, how does Michelle Obama fit in? She is the epitome of a strong black woman. So much so that she has been stereotyped as being militant! Is she a puppet on a string? Is she not black enough? Please, Silas Muhammed! Stop trying to prevent a positive image of a black man from emerging onto the international stage!
