Hello BIA,

his divineMind is so TIRED this is his 2nd attempt at this subject

I have seen “The Lena Baker Story” on DVD. She was the first black woman to die by electrocution in the State of Georgia because the white man who raped and tormented her for years was shot in a struggle over a handgun he was threatening to kill her with. In order to rationalize the violence against Black women and girls, white people manufactured a stereotype portraying us as savage and overs*xed. Today, that image perists and is strengthened through the entertainment industry.

Hello Siebra,

Granted you saw the DVD because of how well you articulated what happened.
However, I don't think you understood what you saw since you said this, "In order to rationalize the violence against Black women and girls, white people manufactured a stereotype portraying us as savage and overs*xed."

Siebra, in Culbert, Georgia in the 1930s when Ms. Baker was born the way things were is that White men could do what ever they wanted and not be prosecuted. You did not really understand the story.

Do you not remember when the White man, Mr. Arthur said to Ms. Baker pointing the gun at her while she was fighting to leave that shack that he could kill her only because he is a White man and get away with it. Ms. Baker told him just go ahead and do it because she was determined to leave and all the while her three children was what was in her mind.
Ms. Baker was between a rock and a hard place. The White man, Mr. Arthur would go to Ms. Baker's house and physically take her to his shack and keep her there abusing her for as long as he wanted. That is the rock. Now, the hard place was that the Whites blamed her for being there with Mr. Arthur. Do you not remember the conversation Lena had with her lawyer because the lawyer thought that she was with Mr. Arthur willingly?

Did you not hear what her last words were? She said she killed Mr. Arthur in self-defense or else he was going to kill her because he did not want her to leave? But, from the perspective of the White community Blacks are not to kill or harm White people under no circumstances.

Don't you remember that Mr. Arthur came to Lena's church grounds and eyed her and told her in the presence of all those Blacks that he was coming back to get her? Mr. Arthur's actions have nothing to do with stereotyping of Black women and girls as you said. It is about that Black people belong to White people.
Ms. Lena Baker story is about Black Americans belonging to White Americans as cows, pigs and chickens belong to White Americans. Black Americans belongs to White Americans as the children of Israel once belonged to Pharaoh and the Egyptian people.

You all believe that White America was afraid of Elijah Muhammad. You all believe that White America is afraid of Mr. Farrakhan. White America is not afraid of those two knuckleheads. America Whites are afraid of Prophet Harry as Pharaoh became afraid of Moses because of God being behind the prophets.
White America knows that eventually God is coming for us. Therefore, White America has their eyes and ears open for Black America's prophet. They will know who the prophet is because of the things our prophet will be say is how he will first be recognized.

Not too long ago (early 70s) in Holly Hill, South Carolina White man were able to walk right up to a married couple and take the wife by her hands and walk her into his house and do what he wanted and when he is finished bring her out his house back to her husband. These kinds of things were coming less than 50 years ago.

The story has nothing to do with Black women and girls being portrayed as savage and overs*xed.

I cried. I got up and walked around my living room crying. It took about 15 minutes before I could compose myself.

A friend of mines at the Y asked me if I saw the story of Lena Baker and I said no. He said Harry you ought to see it. He said he will make a copy for me. I had the DVD for about two days until I said to myself, Harry take a moment and look at the DVD. I cried.

I called my daughter of and told her I have a DVD that I wanted her to see. I did not tell her my feelings. After she saw the story she came to me and said daddy I just had to cry. I told her I cried as well.

Tell me what you think.

I was more angry than saddened after watching it...The part that angered me was when they still decide to execuate her despite the fact that her last words were, "What I done, I did in self-defense, or I would have been killed myself. Where I was I could not overcome it. God has forgiven me. I have nothing against anyone. I picked cotton for Mr. Pritchett, and he has been good to me. I am ready to go. I am one in the number. I am ready to meet my God. I have a very strong conscience."

Now, more than 50 years after her execution, nothing much has changed, we are still struggling and fighting for justice...
