Default One other thing I would like to share....

also taken from Samuel Taylor's "Why Do African Americans Call Themselves the N... Word (******)?"...

please pick the book up, check it out, or do whatever else you have to do...to read this...if you get the chance....it's really enlightening...insightful...and certainly helpful....




SOLUTION

1. A political, social, economic, educational, and psychological war should be waged on a personal and collective level against racism and its current effects. And, this war should be waged with even more intensity than the war used to implement this evil system of thoughts and actions.

2. Part of the war should include all possible efforts to identify the specifics of the crimes of racism (i.e. who did what, when, what benefit was achieved, at whose expense, etc.), so correct or just responses can be developed and implemented.

3. The war should be continued until peace (i.e. truth, justice and, and correctness) is the status quo.

4. The elimination of the “race tax” which is defined as a term referring to the conditions under racism that means that anything in the possession of non-white victims is worth less than the same thing when possessed by those whites who benefit from racism.

5. The immediate implementation of racial compensation (i.e. the act or acts of using specific forms of thought, speech, and/or action to make up for the practice of falsehood, injustice, and incorrectness, directly or indirectly caused by and/or promoted in the establishment, maintenance, expansion, and/or refinement of racism).

6. Until the day of peace, all forms of formal and informal education that maintain the “status quo” should be viewed from a skeptical and critical point of view. And even though information from this source should not be taken at face value, as much of it as possible should be acquired (i.e. degrees) to be used to compare and contrast with the truth.

7. Since the best test of a true civilization is its length of existence and the quality of life of its citizens, then the African model should be our best hope for survival, since history clearly indicates that Africa produced the longest period of uninterrupted civilization (i.e. Egypt, Ethiopia, etc.).

8. An effort needs to be made to eliminate racist language and to develop new definitions and words that promote justice and replace previous racist concepts.

9. Each and every victim of racism should minimize the time and effort spent during anything other than thinking, speaking, and acting in a manner that helps to eliminate racism, and helps to establish justice. Each and every person should seek to do this every day in every area of activity, including economics, education, entertainment, labor law, politics, religion, sex, and war.

- Portions of the solutions were inspired by and developed from Neely Fuller’s book “The United Independent Compensator Code/System/Concept”
