Hello,

I have a question to ask. Does a particular race of people, as Black Americans who are descendents of slaves, for example brings up our children to be as we are?

Now, if we are on the bottom of the other races, then do you suppose we inherently brings up our children to be on the bottom, as well.

In other words, take White America for example. White America is the people that the rest of the world looks up to. Therefore, do you think that White America raised their children to desire that the world look up to them as well?

Now, if my premise makes sense and is the present reality, then what it is that Black Americans are doing wrong?

What say you?

Hello Mr. C. Maxwell,

You said this, “I don't think its true to say that "White America is the people the rest of the world looks up to," especially over the last 9 years.”

Well, White America is over 200 years old and not nine years old. White America is respected and feared from the Mexican-American war to the war in Iraq. White America has landed the first man on the moon. White America is a super power and the rest of the world acknowledges this fact.

I am mentioning these significant accomplishments to give you an idea of what I meant when I said that the rest of the world looks up to White America, for the most part. White America acquired this prestige with great costs and sacrifices, of themselves.

The basis I use to say that Black America is on the bottom is to start from Mr. Frederick Douglass through Dr. King fight for Civil Rights to presently Rev. Al Sharpton’s fight for equal justice.

In other words, White America toils with the natural obstacles of nature as a sovereign people and nation while Black Americans toils with the obstacles White America hurdles at Black Americans.

Now, imagine if Black Americans were a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with open borders, and then we too could brave the natural obstacles that nature hurls at a sovereign country and people to stay successful. We would not be as great as White America, presently speaking, but we certainly would not be on the bottom anymore.

Am I right or am I wrong?

Mr. Maxwell, all Harry is going to do is attempt to pick apart your sentences and try and butcher them with his perception of intellect.

Harry, how many different blogs are you going to post about sovereignty? You still have yet (in a previous blog) to explain exactly what YOU mean by sovereignty.

Again, I have to say...laughable. And no, my husband didn't help me with THAT one either. LOL. God bless you, Harry.

Blessings...

Hello Mrs. Dee,

Instead of spending your time criticizing me, why do not you pick apart my premise and show me that I am wrong?

I asked a question in my blog, but instead of you answering the question, you spend your time criticizing me. Now, how does criticizing help anyone?

You are free to ask me questions, providing of course, you answer my question first. I am not taking anything that I am not willing to give.

Incidentally, I have answered the question about the meaning of sovereignty in that of the blog. We started first with the dictionary’s definition. Then I use three different countries that exercise sovereignty. You were twisted up since the three countries operated their government differently, which have nothing to do with sovereignty.

Now when you disagree with any one, especially me, do not criticize the person. You are supposed to show that the person is wrong. Proving that I am is wrong, gets you more credit and is better than criticizing me. Criticizing a person does not show that the person is wrong. It just shows that you are emotional and the flip side of your emotions is that the person is right.

Now! Please stop criticizing, show me where I am wrong and we can intelligently discussed the rights and wrongs of the issue. Does that make any sense to you?

Hello Mrs. Dee,

Mrs. Dee, this blog is not about sovereignty. This blog is whether we inherently raise our children to be as we are. In other words, if our children are amounting to be nothing, then what are we?

For instance, what is the purpose for CNN documentary, “Black in America?” if it was not a serious problem with our race?

There is no CNN documentary, “White in America.” Since there are no problems with Whites in White America. Do you catch my point?

I want answers to these questions, rather than criticism.

Mr. Maxwell, thank you for saving my breath. Yours is a breath of FRESH AIR. ;-)

Hello C. Maxwell,

Let me first say I appreciate intelligence and a good and honest, up right fight. For instance, the confirmation proceedings of Judge Sonja Sotomayor by the senators are the height of intelligence into play. Okay, having shown my appreciation of you let me move on.

I agree with you that the help White Americans got from other races helped to put White Americans over the top. However, when White America opened wide the emigration gates the strategy paid off well in the end that made White America the superpower and most progressive country that it is today. Needless to say, that at the end of the day White Americans will be a credited, and not the immigrants for any accomplishments, since this country belongs to White Americans of British descent.

We know that this country belongs to White Americans since the signatories on the Declaration of Independence are all White men, a British descent. The same as the French people own France and the Chinese people own China, White America owns the real estate of America. Therefore, all accomplishments of this country or America will be credited to White American people. Do you disagree with me on this concept?

Now, the point that I am trying to get out is that I am not praising White American people as much as I need a block to compare and contrast how far behind Black Americans are to White Americans. In other words, if I lay a spoon on the table, that represents White America and lay another spoon next to it that represents Black Americans the White spoon would shine brighter than the Black spoon would, and you know it.

I am not particularly arguing the Vietnam and Korean War. My point is bigger and more in general, of reality than one or two sticking points.

You said this, “There is absolutely nothing in that statement that is evidence that black America is “on the bottom of all races.” Fighting for civil rights and equal justice is just that, and does not in any way imply that black Americans are on the bottom of anything.”
Mr. Maxwell, when you have to fight, use protests and petition a different race of people than you are for civil rights and equal justice you would have to be on the bottom of that race, which is common rationale. Therefore, you are misleading yourself to play down the fight, protests and petitioning. Consequentially, what ever Black Americans achieve is to the credit and use of White America. For instances, all that Dr. George Washington Carver did was accredited, used and advanced White America, you know what and I do as well.

To permanently resolve this issue, we must become a sovereign people, or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent we could call our very own country with open borders. This is the only way that what ever we do in the future will be accredited to us. The same as what the Chinese people do in China is accredited to the Chinese people.

In conclusion, I am saying to you Black Americans are on the bottom and I have said to you the only way we could get off the bottom, as well.

I welcome any comments that you have to me show that I am wrong.

What you say?

Hello C. Maxwell,

You said this, “As for raising kids, I would not recommend anyone who sees themselves as you see black people to raise their kids that way Harry.”

The awareness or the point that I am trying to raise is that we are that way and do not really see it. We raise our children to be just as we are and do not really know that we are, the difference it makes on how to change anything. We believe that we are perfectly fine, but the reality of things shows differently.

We have the highest rate of incarceration, and the lowest educational achievement rate. This phenomenal could only be corrected when we become a sovereign people. The reign of our future belongs in our own hands. You know that I am not telling you. I love my people.

However, we are going to change. We cannot become a sovereign and still be as we are. We are going to be, some very extraordinary intelligent people in the very near future. Something like a worm changes into a butterfly.

Hello Mr. C. Maxwell,

Clark, let me draw this picture for you. Let us say that I am White and in my hands, I have rolled up as a diploma your civil rights. However, you do not have my civil rights in your hands, but I have your civil rights in my hands.

Now, you want me to give you your civil rights to make life a little more comfortable for you. However, I have the option to give you civil rights and I have the option not to give it to you. In other words, everything is in my hands.

Are you telling me that I am not superior to you? If I am not superior to you, then why do you need your civil rights from me? Why then do you are not go to China, and get your civil rights? The answer would be Chinese people do not have your civil rights. Instead, White people have your civil rights.

Now, if you were not inferior, but instead, you were a sovereign person on a portion of this continent with the rest of your people that we could call it our very own country with open borders, then you would not have to beg anyone for your civil rights. Does that make any sense to you or do you think I am still crazy?

I gather that you really do not understand Black Americans predicament.

What say you?
