A Strong Plea for Help
By Alton H. Maddox, Jr.
Within the past thirty-five years, the election of the next council speaker on January 6, 2010 may be the most important issue of power to confront Blacks, Latinos and Asians especially since those same groups went to the polls in November giving the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus a majority on the New York City Council. When the Irish came to dominate Tammany Hall, there was no doubt that the Irish would receive all of the political spoils. Even though Blacks in New York acquired the right to vote in 1870, they would enjoy no political spoils. For example, Selma, AL employed the first Black policemen fifty years before New York City. Blacks, in the city, however, were not running on a treadmill. T. Thomas Fortune, militant editor of the New York Age, formed the Afro American League in 1889 and the Afro-American Council in 1898. Blacks also formed the United Colored Democracy to appease Tammany Hall which was under the control of the Irish. The 3 I's are strongly in control of New York City politics in 2009 although these groups only constitute a third of the city's population. Council Speaker Christine Quinn represents the Irish. Her decisions are made from the living dead in graveyards. History connects the living with the dead. A prominent Black leader on Halloween said that knowledge of history was unimportant. He is "our leader" and he is participating in shaping educational policy nationwide. Dr. Carter G. Woodson described this type of leader in The Miseducation of the Negro. He is thus, unaware of the Gates Avenue Association which was formed in the early 1900s to prevent the influx of Blacks into Brooklyn. Quinn still represents this view. Thus, no part of Gates Avenue must be renamed to honor Sonny Carson. In 1876, the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Reese announced that the Fifteenth Amendment failed to give anyone the right to vote. Texas prohibited Blacks from voting in the Democratic primary in 1923. The Supreme Court ruled in 1935 that it was permissible to limit voting in Democratic primaries to "white citizens". Although the white primary was nominally outlawed in 1944, it is still alive and well in New York because of the state's stringent election laws. This allows landlords to choose docile Blacks to represent their interests in Black majority areas. Currently, Blacks are constitutional squatters. The same approach applies to Latinos. This is why the Black, Latino and Asian council members are poised to vote for Christine Quinn on January 6, 2010. This is a timocracy. John Jay of New York was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He said, "those who own the country ought to govern it." Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that I singularly petitioned Councilman Charles Barron to save our people from embarrassment by challenging Quinn. It is now apparent that the Black community has silently responded by saying that I should finance it. This is the same mindset as most members of UAM embrace in December 2009. Freedom is not free. You must not only sacrifice blood, sweat, money and tears to secure rights but you must also sacrifice blood, sweat, money and tears to defend them. For example, Blacks could frequent all inns, restaurants and towns in 1875 because of the Civil Rights Act of 1875. We lost these rights in 1883 and it would take 1964 before we could share a fraction of those rights after we had to allow history to repeat itself. We had shed blood during the Civil War and we would have to shed blood again during the Civil Rights Movement. If we really knew our history, we would not be participating in plantation politics which requires "white minority rule." Compare plantation politics with the white primary. The foundation for the United States was cemented in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. History, is only repeating itself today. Before I was illegally and wrongfully suspended from the practice of law, no attorney in the history of American jurisprudence had ever taken on more pro bono cases. I did it out of racial pride and to avoid racial embarrassments. People who benefitted are now among my most vociferous critics. This list far exceeds Rev. Al Sharpton. Since 1990, I have not enjoyed any income but this has not stopped me from fighting the good fight. I chair an "organization" which requires me to personally collect monies for office rent and office expenses. I also must shoulder the struggle for Tawana Brawley and now, Councilman Barron. On the other hand, most of my critics are now "living large" by avoiding Tawana Brawley. I have now undertaken to support Councilman Barron. To be sure, this is really our struggle and not his. Councilman Barron should simply be the beneficiary. I have paid, so far, for all of the circulating flyers and petitions in New York City. I have also developed ample printed historical materials for this campaign. Most of it has been or will be circulated to you. Throughout the year, I have kept you abreast of myriad issues affecting our people. Some of this material was printed in the New York Amsterdam News at my expense until white advertisers put the heat on the newspaper. James Mtume of KISS-FM publicly admitted that white advertisers had also put the heat on KISS. This "white" heat has also been put on WLIB-AM, WBLS-FM and WWRL-AM. The airwaves are supposed to be public. There must be a challenge to the FCC. In the meantime, Blacks must finance their own programming. Without communication we are dead as a doornail. 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care admitted at the ACP State Office Building that all commercial radio stations have banned them as well. Guests must be pre-approved. We are now listening to a Sunday menu that has been prepared for us by white supremacists. This is akin to the plantation. I need your help to sustain the struggle for Councilman Charles Barron. Send any help immediately to:
