A Black Political Primer

Most Blacks are unable to remember dates, times and places. They are not historians. A few Blacks are able to remember dates, times and places. They are also not historians. A historian is able to connect dates, times and places to establish concepts. These concepts enable a people to engage in political and economic forecasting.

The Democratic Party is the brainchild of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. They were "planters." Jackson would appoint Roger Taney to head the Supreme Court to officially put "free Blacks" back in their place. His brother-in-law was Francis Scott Key who would give this nation its national anthem. Taney would pen Scott v. Sanford. The Democratic Party still enforces its draconian language.

No one seems to understand the true purpose of the Civil War. The Republican Party was formed on the eve of the Civil War to drive a wedge between slavemasters and their slaves. This is an offshoot of the master-servant relationship and is subject to slave codes instead of the master-servant law which is taught in law schools.

The Republican Party won the war but lost the peace. New York would side with the Democratic Party. It is still a blue state. It took the Compromise of 1877 to bring the nation back together again under a one-party state with two political wings. Samuel Tilden of New York would speak for the blue states. Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio would speak for the red states. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph P. Bradley was given the deciding vote.

His ultimate mission was to reinstate states' rights in areas, unlike commerce, that would not undermine federalism. Afterwards, draconian decisions like Slaughterhouse Cases, Civil Rights Cases, United States v. Cruikshank andBradwell v. Illinois would roll off its printing press. In 1896, the Supreme Court would decide Plessy v. Ferguson. Jim Crow would replace slavery. James Crow Esq. was decided in 1954.

President Lyndon Johnson would reunite slavemasters with their slaves. The use of the term "enslaved African" would be a stretch. This was done by the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Immigration Act of 1965 as a "poison pill". This is called plantation politics. To pull off this political scam, it was necessary to assassinate Malcolm X.

Enough is enough! This was a rallying cry of Louis Clayton Jones. On January 6, 2010, the Democratic Party would require Black, Latino and Asian members of the New York City Council except Councilman, Charles Barron, to endorse white minority rule in a 51 person city council with only 24 white members. Council Speaker Christine is a white racist. She will wield all political power in this legislative body.

On May 27, 2010, the New York State Democratic Party would return the favor. It would endorse a statewide, all-white, political slate in a state where Blacks, Latinos and Asians constitute a healthy fraction of the Democratic Party. Andrew Cuomo would be the gubernatorial nominee. With his father, former Gov. Mario Cuomo, he would co-author the prison-industrial complex in New York.

I appeared on "Community Cop" on May 26. Afterwards, we discussed the possibility of forming a third party to give Blacks a political voice in New York. We remembered the first editorial in Freedom's Journal. A gubernatorial candidate is necessary to form a political party in New York. Michael Greys agreed to run if another candidate would not be found.

Jitu Weusi called me on June 4 with an intention to draft Councilman Charles Barron as a gubernatorial candidate on a third-party ticket. Attorneys Fred Dean and Michael Kennedy, so far, have agreed to provide their legal talents to this effort. Blacks have roughly one month before petitions can be circulated in New York.

Thus, time is of the essence. A major, statewide rally is scheduled for the Elks Plaza, 1068 Harriet Tubman (Fulton Street) nr. Classon Ave. in Brooklyn. There must be statewide planning and many more rallies in other areas of the state. Buffalo is a key venue. This rally on Wednesday, June 4 in Brooklyn, will start at 7:00 p.m.
