The delicacies of the Human Species has expanded exponentially from old standards of morality and values into the world view of contemporary science following the analysis to the reactions in observations within the animal kingdom; While we human-beings ironically continue to misunderstand completely the essence of who and what we are. Although differing in ethnicity, language, geography, strengths, weakness, shapes and sizes...Yet we are all from One race, “The Human Race”. Nonetheless, many of us persist to remain ignorant to this obvious similarity despite our differences. The gift of life has been ordained by the creator and by his will, perpetuates life as we not only see repeated in our own species {reproduction} but also how life matures throughout creation itself as a delicate balance of principals that hold our existence within this perfect harmony we enjoy; Opposed to the chaos we abhor when this harmony is lost...
Holy Quran 7:27
------------------
يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتِهِمَآ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمْ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise [In paradise a spiritual & mental state of tranquility also accompanies the physical presence], stripping them of their clothing [to include also psychological states of dignity] to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
Holy Quran 7:28
------------------
وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا۟ فَٰحِشَةً قَالُوا۟ وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَآ ءَابَآءَنَا وَٱللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?"
Holy Quran 7:29
------------------
قُلْ أَمَرَ رَبِّى بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۖ وَأَقِيمُوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَٱدْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأَكُمْ تَعُودُونَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him ritualistic & obedience to divine governance] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you [the natural disposition of our creation], you will return [to life] [hereafter -
Holy Quran 7:30
------------------
فَرِيقًا هَدَىٰ وَفَرِيقًا حَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةُ ۗ إِنَّهُمُ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
A group [of you] He guided [believers], and a group deserved [to be in] error [disbelievers]. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.
Holy Quran 7:31
------------------
۞ يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ خُذُوا۟ زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا۟ وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
O children of Adam, take your adornment [dress nicely, cleanliness] at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.

قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ وَٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِىَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively [adornments of being dressed & honoured] for them on the Day of Resurrection [while inhabitants of hell are burned naked]. " Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
Holy Quran 7:33
------------------
قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَٰنًا وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them [openly] and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know."
Holy Quran 7:34
------------------
وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
Holy Quran 7:35
------------------
يَٰبَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ إِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ ءَايَٰتِى ۙ فَمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰ وَأَصْلَحَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears Allah and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
Holy Quran 7:36

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
Holy Quran 7:37

فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يَنَالُهُمْ نَصِيبُهُم مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا يَتَوَفَّوْنَهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا وَشَهِدُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ كَٰفِرِينَ
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers {Angel of Death & his accompanying angelic entourage} come to them {US} to take them in death, they [Angels}, will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?" They [disbelievers] will say, "They have departed from us," and {disbelievers} will bear witness against themselves that they were truly disbelievers.
Holy Quran 7:38
------------------
قَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ فِىٓ أُمَمٍ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ۖ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱدَّارَكُوا۟ فِيهَا جَمِيعًا قَالَتْ أُخْرَىٰهُمْ لِأُولَىٰهُمْ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَضَلُّونَا فَـَٔاتِهِمْ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ قَالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَعْلَمُونَ
[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn [race of satan] and mankind [humans who supported evil] into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us [following the same pathways of falsehood], so give them a double punishment of the Fire. He [Allah] will say, "For each is double, but you do not know. [the inhabitants of hell cannot perceive the difference of punishments, because the misery that follows all punishments is perceived as being the most severe]"
Holy Quran 7:39
------------------
وَقَالَتْ أُولَىٰهُمْ لِأُخْرَىٰهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْسِبُونَ

Self-Aggrandizement and feelings of entitlement when collectively held within large groups [even states] in perceptions of belief or societal philosophies often leads to violence and every other kind of deceitful aggression. Public specticals and or political rhetoric used to highlight ones status over another; while if stripped of what becomes the source of ones arrogance would either bring a person back to humbleness or raise within themselves such an utter deviance hinge with paranoia fear of losing control that would frighteningly extend its violent consequences to all under its umbrella of reach either by the individual, group, or Nation State...Cultural values that rob people of critical thinking and or re-teach or cultivate within a society new morals to act by. Serving the Ego only helps to father a larger appetite for greed, by adding to oneself helps to make a person feel more secure by his or her possessions.
Holy Quran 28:76

۞ إِنَّ قَٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ أُو۟لِى ٱلْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ لَا تَفْرَحْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ
Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.
Holy Quran 28:79
------------------
فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦ ۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."
Holy Quran 28:80
------------------
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا وَلَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّٰبِرُونَ
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
Holy Quran 28:81
------------------
فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ

وَأَصْبَحَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَمَنَّوْا۟ مَكَانَهُۥ بِٱلْأَمْسِ يَقُولُونَ وَيْكَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَقْدِرُ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن مَّنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا لَخَسَفَ بِنَا ۖ وَيْكَأَنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us [the earth along with Qarun]. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
Holy Quran 28:83
------------------
تِلْكَ ٱلدَّارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُهَا لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فَسَادًا ۚ وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.
Holy Quran 28:76
------------------
۞ إِنَّ قَٰرُونَ كَانَ مِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰ فَبَغَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْكُنُوزِ مَآ إِنَّ مَفَاتِحَهُۥ لَتَنُوٓأُ بِٱلْعُصْبَةِ أُو۟لِى ٱلْقُوَّةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُۥ قَوْمُهُۥ لَا تَفْرَحْ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْفَرِحِينَ
Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.
Holy Quran 28:77
------------------
وَٱبْتَغِ فِيمَآ ءَاتَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ ٱلْفَسَادَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world [enjoying a portion of the fruits of our labor’s in life]. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."
Holy Quran 28:78
------------------
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أُوتِيتُهُۥ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عِندِىٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ مَنْ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرُ جَمْعًا ۚ وَلَا يُسْـَٔلُ عَن ذُنُوبِهِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.
Holy Quran 28:79
------------------
فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ فِى زِينَتِهِۦ ۖ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا يَٰلَيْتَ لَنَا مِثْلَ مَآ أُوتِىَ قَٰرُونُ إِنَّهُۥ لَذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."
Holy Quran 28:80
------------------
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ وَيْلَكُمْ ثَوَابُ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِّمَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا وَلَا يُلَقَّىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلصَّٰبِرُونَ
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
Holy Quran 28:81
------------------
فَخَسَفْنَا بِهِۦ وَبِدَارِهِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُۥ مِن فِئَةٍ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنتَصِرِينَ
And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves [despite his wealth].
Holy Quran 28:82
------------------

No longer an Innocent boy, full of mirth and play, as when I first landed in Baltimore...
Knowledge had come; a light that penetrated the moral dungeon where I dwelt; Behold, there lay the bloody whip for my back and here was the Iron chain; My good kind master, the author of my current situation. Revelation haunted me, stung me, made me gloomy and miserable as i withered under the torment of this new knowledge. I envied my fellow slaves in their heedless contentment. I had become to mindful to be happy... |
Under the weight of these everlasting thoughts, I would be further tormented; yet there was no way of getting rid of the subject matter that brought about these profound thoughts or any other narrative redolent to it. Once awakened by knowledge, the spirit was roused to new heights of consciousness.
Liberty!!! The inestimable birthright of every man...
This principal asserted every object of consideration toward this great right. It echoed in every sound. It would forever remain my tormentor reminding me of my oppressive condition.

Holy Quran 22:73
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا۟ ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْـًٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ
O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer [man] and pursued [fly].
Holy Quran 22:74
مَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
Holy Quran 22:75
ٱللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ
Allah chooses from the angels messengers and from the people. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing.
Holy Quran 22:76
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ
He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them. And to Allah will be returned [all] matters.
Holy Quran 22:77
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱرْكَعُوا۟ وَٱسْجُدُوا۟ وَٱعْبُدُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ وَٱفْعَلُوا۟ ٱلْخَيْرَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ۩
O you who have believed, bow and prostrate and worship your Lord and do good - that you may succeed.
The parable we find cited to impress upon the idolworshipers that their deities are absolutely powerless, for even if they all collaborated to create an insignificant thing like a fly, they could not; nay, even if a fly snatched away anything from them they could not prevent it. In addition, retrieving it becomes something of enormous impossibility because flies liquify the portions of food they take, thus for anyone to consider this parable in the depth of its wisdoms can quickly see how one of the weakest creatures in creation is used to show man who can become boastfully arrogant just how weak he or she is in comparison to Allah. These are attitudes of arrogance, disbelief, association of partners to Allah {sons, daughters, stones, trees, planets, sun etc} are all resulting from the conditional state of mind of a person who hasn’t appraised {given true value} Allah {in his entirety} with true appraisal {priceless reconciliation} that Allah is the absolute, ONE and creator of everything...
From Allah comes his messengers from among the angels and prophets, who bestowe upon humanity the things that they know not... From his names He {Allah} is As-Sami “the all Hearing” and Al-Basir “the all Seeing”, so he sees what is presently before and after us after giving lovingly to us his messengers who teach and correct humanity from deviation. Therefore, those who believe, bow and prostrate in worship {ritualistically and in obedience} so that we may succeed...

A symbol of Racism, our Past
Jim Crow was a way of life that combined a system of anti-black laws and race-prejudiced cultural practices. The term "Jim Crow" is often used as a synonym for racial segregation, particularly in the American South at it’s inception, but has come something widespread in later decades, finding a resurgence of application still today. The Jim Crow South was the era during which local and state laws enforced the legal segregation of white and black citizens from the 1870s into the 1960s; however The more subtle social-translation to Jim Crow was one which required that African-Americans demonstrate subservience and inferiority to whites at all times...
- A black man who succeeded in business might find his shop burned to the ground by jealous whites. [Black Wall Street” was a prospering African-American neighborhood In Tulsa, Oklahoma, that went up in flames 95 years ago. Incredibly, most Americans have never heard of the shameful events of June 1, 1921, when whites firebombed the neighborhood from the air and an estimated 300 African-Americans were murdered.]
- A black woman who failed to step off of the sidewalk to make way for a white man might be fired by her employer the following day.
- A black man who had a relationship with a white woman might be hanged in the middle of town. Most Southern whites interpreted any claim to pride or equality by African Americans as an affront.
Democracy as it is so fondly referred, Its founding ideals were false while they were written largely for the privilege of some excluding other human-beings solely on the colour of skin; disregarding the self-recognition of oneself in another human being despite ethnicity. A group of men discussing and concluding on what they regarded the deepest effort of putting forward a mission statement of prosperity, liberty and Justice...while they also owed slaves a hypocrisy in itself. Hence, Black America has been the Mechanism that has made all of its founding ideals a reality.
|
The term Jim Crow originated from the name of a black character from early- and mid- nineteenth century American theater played by Thomas Rice, a famous blackface minstrel (a white theater performer who painted his face in black makeup to caricature African Americans . Crows are black birds, and Crow was the last name of a stock fictional black character, Due to the prevalence of this character, "Jim Crow" became a derogatory term for people of African descent.
Rosa Parks wasn't the first person to challenge segregated transportation. More than fifty years earlier, an African American man from New Orleans named Homer Plessy challenged segregated train cars. In 1892, Plessy boarded a "whites-only" compartment on a train, and was arrested when he refused to move to a "colored" compartment when called upon to do so. (Plessy planned to be arrested, intending to test the constitutionality of Louisiana's segregation law by arguing, “that it violated the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law for all citizens)”. Plessy's case against segregation wound its way through the court system, finally arriving in the Supreme Court in 1896. In a majority decision, the Court ruled that Louisiana's segregation law did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment so long as separate accommodations for whites and blacks were equal {a technicality in the legalize of legal language that allow loop wholes}.
Summarizing the majority ruling, Justice Henry Brown wrote, "We consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it." In other words, the judge is implying, “As a result, If you {Plessy} feel inferior it is not anything found in the act {statute or law}, but it is rather your own self making you feel so.” Even though one aspect of “JIM CROW” was to exact this inferiority complex within African-Americans, the judge reduces this intentions to pure speculation of the other party {Plessy} because intention(s) can’t be known truly by the complaining party Psychologically without proving so, and since supposedly equal accommodations are offered, he therefore takes this stance in rejecting the integrity behind his very valid & true argument. It was not until 1954 that the Plessy decision was overturned in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, when the Supreme Court ruled that segregated facilities were "inherently unequal. {a condition of cleanliness, function-ability, and comforts}" Something that found its merits of argument throughout the 1960s, thanks to the work of the Civil Rights Movement. “Jim Crow” was thus dismantled piece by piece, phrase by phrase, loophole by loophole through legislation that made it illegal to segregate public facilities, suppress voting, discriminate in housing, or prohibit interracial marriage...

Present
When she {Nikole} was young, that flag outside her home never made sense to her. How could this black man {her father}, having seen firsthand the way his country abused black Americans, how it refused to treat us as full citizens, proudly fly its banner? She didn’t understand his patriotism. It deeply embarrassed her.
She had been taught, in school, through cultural osmosis, that the flag wasn’t really ours, that our black history as a people began with enslavement and that we have contributed little to this great nation. It seemed that the closest thing to black Americans in terms of cultural pride was to be found in our vague connection to Africa, a place most had never been and still because of this lasting disconnect, blacks in America have not a nation-state that can rest its weight behind furthering the justice of disregarded blacks within America which remains a prison.
She [Nikole] felt her father had so much honor in being an American, which felt more like a marker of his degradation, and his acceptance of our subordination.
Like most young people, She thought she understood so much, when in fact she understood so little. However, Her father knew exactly what he was doing when he raised that flag. He knew that our people’s contributions to building the richest and most powerful nation in the world were indelible, that the United States simply would not exist without us. {See also my page on the longest standing American Treaty, “Treaty of Marrakesh”, when the Muslim Sultan of Morocco helped America against the British]
In August 1619, just 12 years after the English settled Jamestown, Va., one year before the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock and some 157 years before the English colonists even decided they wanted to form their own country, the Jamestown colonists bought 20 to 30 enslaved Africans from English pirates. The pirates had stolen them from a Portuguese slave ship that had forcibly taken them from what is now the country of Angola. Those men and women who came ashore on that August day were the beginning of American slavery. They were among the 12.5 million Africans who would be kidnapped from their homes and brought in chains across the Atlantic Ocean in the largest forced migration in human history until the Second World War. Almost two million did not survive the grueling journey, known as the Middle Passage.
Before the abolishment of the international slave trade, 400,000 enslaved Africans would be sold into America. Those individuals and their descendants transformed the lands to which they’d been brought into some of the most successful colonies in the British Empire. Through backbreaking labor, they cleared the land across the Southeast. They taught the colonists to grow rice. They grew and picked the cotton that at the height of slavery was the nation’s most valuable commodity, accounting for half of all American exports and 66 percent of the world’s supply. They built the plantations of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, sprawling properties that today attract thousands of visitors from across the globe captivated by the history of the world’s greatest democracy. They laid the foundations of the White House and the Capitol, even placing with their unfree hands the Statue of Freedom atop the Capitol dome. They lugged the heavy wooden tracks of the railroads that crisscrossed the South and that helped take the cotton they picked to the Northern textile mills, fueling the Industrial Revolution. They built vast fortunes for white people North and South — at one time, the second-richest man in the nation was a Rhode Island “slave trader.” Profits from black people’s stolen labor helped the young nation pay off its war debts and financed some of our most prestigious universities. It was the relentless buying, selling, insuring and financing of their bodies and the products of their labor that made Wall Street a thriving banking, insurance and trading sector and New York City the financial capital of the world.
“But it would be historically inaccurate to reduce the contributions of black people to the vast material wealth created by our bondage. Black Americans have also been, and continue to be, foundational to the idea of American freedom. More than any other group in this country’s history, we have served, generation after generation, in an overlooked but vital role: It is we who have been the perfecters of this democracy.”

She had been taught, in school, through cultural osmosis, that the flag wasn’t really ours, that our black history as a people began with enslavement and that we have contributed little to this great nation. It seemed that the closest thing to black Americans in terms of cultural pride was to be found in our vague connection to Africa, a place most had never been and still because of this lasting disconnect, blacks in America have not a nation-state that can rest its weight behind furthering the justice of disregarded blacks within America which remains a prison.
She [Nikole] felt her father had so much honor in being an American, which felt more like a marker of his degradation, and his acceptance of our subordination.
Like most young people, She thought she understood so much, when in fact she understood so little. However, Her father knew exactly what he was doing when he raised that flag. He knew that our people’s contributions to building the richest and most powerful nation in the world were indelible, that the United States simply would not exist without us. {See also my page on the longest standing American Treaty, “Treaty of Marrakesh”, when the Muslim Sultan of Morocco helped America against the British]
In August 1619, just 12 years after the English settled Jamestown, Va., one year before the Puritans landed at Plymouth Rock and some 157 years before the English colonists even decided they wanted to form their own country, the Jamestown colonists bought 20 to 30 enslaved Africans from English pirates. The pirates had stolen them from a Portuguese slave ship that had forcibly taken them from what is now the country of Angola. Those men and women who came ashore on that August day were the beginning of American slavery. They were among the 12.5 million Africans who would be kidnapped from their homes and brought in chains across the Atlantic Ocean in the largest forced migration in human history until the Second World War. Almost two million did not survive the grueling journey, known as the Middle Passage.
Before the abolishment of the international slave trade, 400,000 enslaved Africans would be sold into America. Those individuals and their descendants transformed the lands to which they’d been brought into some of the most successful colonies in the British Empire. Through backbreaking labor, they cleared the land across the Southeast. They taught the colonists to grow rice.

Agreeably with Ms. Hannah-Jones, the contributions of African-Americans in building America is of tribute to our ancestry and perseverance against struggle, both highly commendable. Thus, America has blossomed into the great beacon she was previously trying to portrait, while silently rotting from within from the cancer she try’s to ignore...Unfortunately, also unlike in our ancestry (African/Asian), democracy is flawed in so many ways when it comes to human governance...The United States is a nation founded on both an ideal and a lie. Our Declaration of Independence, approved on July 4, 1776, proclaims that “all men are created equal” and “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights.” But the white men who drafted those words did not believe them to be true for the hundreds of thousands of black people in their midst. “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” did not apply fully to one-fifth of the country.

This fierce assertion of the fundamental and natural rights of humankind to freedom and self-governance has defined our global reputation as a land of liberty. Furthermore, being an American has never been about birth place {consider all the immigrants who entered through Ellis Island of European decent}, its never been about ethnicity, or even religion...Instead being American was hung upon an Idea that people ascended towards, “The American Dream”, which has been flawed from day one. Unfortunately, for a secular society {who doesn’t regard Allah/God in anything in governance} its politics of National interest is further segmented to narrower groupings as America can no longer hide her internal sicknesses from the rest of the world...
