Black Lives Didn't Matter in the Past nor the Present

According to an independent autopsy conducted by the world renown Dr. Michael Baden on Michael Brown, the white policeman, Darren Wilson, had initially shot Michael Brown three times, hitting him in his limbs which was nonfatal. He was on the ground bleeding.

Dr. Baden said, that if Wilson had called an ambulance at that time, Michael Brown would still be living today. 

However, instead of doing so, he shot him twice in the head with the intention of killing him and then let him lay on the ground and bleed to death. A video shot from a nearby apartment building and shown on CNN, showed Brown dead on the ground with Wilson prancing back and forth.

As I mentioned in a previous article, a policeman should never be allowed to testify in his own behalf when he has murdered a citizen. How can that be any more one-sided. Only the evidence should be presented. Anyone who has been shot three times, and is unarmed and bleeding is no threat to anyone.

Dr. Baden testified on CNN with a diagram showing where the bullets fired by Wilson entered and exited Brown’s body.  If you doubt what I’m saying, do a search on You Tube and check it out. Black lives didn't matter in the past nor in the present. 

• Black lives didn't matter when my ancestors were torn from their African homeland and transported to this country in slave ships in the most horrific conditions imaginable.
• Black lives didn't matter when my ancestors were enslaved for over 300 years in this country, had their children and relatives taken, and sold to other slave owners and never see them again.
• Black didn't matter when during the Post-Reconstruction and Jim Crow era over 3,000 Black folks were lynched many with their heads cut off, and Black women had their bellies split.
• And, Black lives don't matter today when unarmed Black men and boys are murdered by white policemen. 

I am not aware of any Black policemen shooting white citizens whether armed or unarmed. Perhaps they are more disciplined or realize that they will quickly lose their jobs and be prosecuted for murder.

If Black policemen were shooting and killing white citizens at the rate in which white policeman are killing Black citizens then I would say all lives matters. That’s not happening and I don’t expect that to happen. But, I do expect that when a white policeman kills a Black citizen, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, just like anyone else.

Rachel Dolezal - An Example of Self and Group Hatred

The bizarre, strange, and peculiar behavior of Rachel Dolezar is a lesson for all mental health professionals who are interested in seeing a person exhibiting self and group hatred.

Here is a white woman who was born to two white biological parents who raised her as an average white girl. Now as an adult for the last seven years she has rejected her parents; dishonored them; and disparaged them. They apparently still love her and remain confused about her behavior. Anyone who chooses to act that way towards their parents is a despicable person and can't be trusted. There is no evidence that her

parents abused her or neglected her. Rather, it appears to be just the opposite. Her parents appear to be the type that loved children as evidenced by their choosing to be adoptive parents and adopting four children.

Returning specifically to Ms Dolezar, some facts need to be considered. I think that depriving a Black person, as she did, from acquiring a full scholarship from a traditional Black university, Howard University, is not acceptable. And after graduating from Howard University to then sue the University as a white woman for a faculty position is not only unacceptable, but truly bizarre.

Also during these seven year stretch of time she also identified a Black man as her father as well a young Black man who had actually had been adopted by her parents, as her son. Moreover, she discovered how to transform her blond hair to fuzzy brown hair and how to frequently use tanning salons to deal with her pale white skin.

While we should treat every other human beings as we would want to be treated, as Black Americans we should reject all white people want to be Black, but accept those who recognize and appreciate their heritage – Greek, French, Spanish, Italian or otherwise. While I’m in the process of identifying the specific country from which my ancestors were taken, the part of the continent that I identify with is West Africa.

Keep in mind, this is a racist country founded upon the backs of slaves who were torn from their African homeland and kept in involuntary servitude for over three-hundred years. This is not a country of immigrants despite what Obama and other liberals, both Black and white, may say. My ancestors did not immigrate here, they were brought here in chains under the worst conditions imaginable while white Europeans came own their own free will. 

And once here, with the exception of a few, capitalized on white privilege and if they didn't, it’s nobody’s fault but their own and still remains that way. Dolezar, once she stops trying to be Black, has the option to stop going to the tanning salon, to let her hair go back to its natural blonde and to capitalize on white privilege like any other white woman.
