Eric Holder to Address Chicago Teen's Beating

The beating of a 16-year-old honors student in President Barack Obama's Chicago hometown was discussed at the president's morning meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday. By the afternoon, the White House had announced that it would send Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan to the Windy City on Wednesday (Oct. 7) to meet with school officials, students and residents to discuss school violence.

Chicago prosecutors have charged four teenagers with fatally beating Derrion Albert, a sophomore honor roll student. Officials say Albert was walking to a bus stop when he got caught up in the mob's street fighting. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Wednesday said the cell phone video of teens viciously kicking and striking Albert with splintered railroad ties is "chilling" and among the most shocking anyone can see. He said the White House believes such crimes call for community involvement.

Hello Ms. Fad,

Let me show from a different angle why sovereignty or complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent is necessary for our survival.

Firstly, it could not be denied that Black Americans are eight different people from White Americans.

Now, Black Americans lives under the jurisdiction of White America. For instance, the Constitution of White America affords all citizens the right to bear firearms. Now, while the right to bear firearms is good for White America it is not okay for Black Americans. Now, if we were a sovereign people or have complete independence our Constitution may be written differently. The point that I have just made think about it in terms of other things as education.

Another example, White America�s laws have restrictions on how Black parents could raise that child. For instance, Black parents cannot whip their children as my father and mother whipped me. Today my parents would have been put in jail for whipping me.

So, what I am saying is that through out the years White America�s laws while good for them have had a devastating affect on the Black population.

Consequentially, most of you cannot comprehend right now that what I am saying that we must become a sovereign people eludes you. In addition, all of you believe that the things I say are impossible and would never happen. However, it is going to happen.

Tell me what you think.

Hello Irma,

Perhaps you did read my comment posted on another blog. However, the greater concern is whether I am right or wrong.

If you could comprehend, the truth of what I am saying is pure common sense that I am right, and then sovereignty or complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent is our only permanent solution. Does that make any sense to you?

Irma,and that was in addition to Harry's own blog.

Hello Mr. Clark,

Firstly, you are right about the charade of discussing school violence.

However, you are wrong about the solution must come from the people. If the solution were in the people this tragedy would never have happened.

The permanent solution is in me and what I have been saying now almost 3 years into my prophet-hood.

It took Moses 20 years and I do not know how long it is to take me. It really depends upon you all and how quickly you come to recognize me. You all do not believe that God still anoints prophets today as it was gone throughout humanity.

I keep telling you all that our permanent solution is that we become a sovereign people on a portion of this continent. Our sovereignty or complete independence from White America is going to happen.

What say you?

I see there's been quite a bit of dialogue here since I posted this blog. I think the problem is that the parents aren't doing their jobs to teach and train their children. Regardless to any outside intervention, parents must take responsibility for the rearing of their own kids.

Neighborhood watches and anticrime watches are vital to guard against violence. People must not be held hostage to fear that they are unwilling to do something to make their neighborhoods better. I also think mandatory curfews should be enforced. At least this is a start.

People who sell drugs must not be on the streets after a certain time and abandoned buildings need to bulldozed to keep drug addicts out of them. As far as the guns are concerned I'm really not sure what the solution to that is. People need guns in Chicago to protect themselves from gangs.

Hello Ms. Fad,

Do you not understand that the parents themselves are psychologically ruined as all Black Americans who are descendents of slaves are?

Now I know that all Black Americans believes that they are super smart and that is indicative of how ignorant that we are. Nevertheless, how could we be smart when we are descendents of slaves and do not want to let go the hands of our ancestors� slave masters� children? Please explain that to me.

In other words, since our ancestors started out as slaves how is it that you would think any of us are mentally and psychologically sound in view of what our ancestors were subject to? Do you not think that they passed down their psychological damages to us as well?

Today when there are a couple of murders in the schoolhouse the children immediately gets psychological counseling. What kind of counseling did the surviving children of the Tulsa, Oklahoma massacre received? They lived with their trauma and inadvertently passed it along to their children or descendents. So, how could you, Ms. Fad consider that we are psychologically sound people? We must desire to become a sovereign people or gain complete independence from White America. We have a long way to go before we become a psychologically sound people.

We need the help of God and we have it. We need to think about becoming a sovereign people or have complete independence from White America on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with borders.

We need to be in a situation that we could handle our own problems. We need to have our hands on the wheel of our own destiny. Do you not think so, Ms. Fad?

How long is it going to take you to understand what I am saying, Ms. Fad?
