Financial effects of American racism

“Strat, as much as I understand where you're coming from sometimes, I think Phaedrus is trying to get you to follow a logical, commonly accepted debate format, and that was his reason for the suggestion. Like I said before though, there are several on both sides of any given issue who could use a little help. I'm the first to admit I could do better.”

“This is an offer for Strat alone. I'm not paying for everyone to take classes:)”

“Haha, I hadn't thought of you paying for all those people. You'd need a fortune!”

“"....liberal way of thinking creates reverse racism..."

You gotta be kiddin'!

What about second class, or worse, citizenship and centuries of abuse?

Oh, but that's all over now, just ask those loud mouth radio guys!”

“Are there any african-american's posting on this thread?”

“I doubt it

We are all middle class honkies on this bus.

Except for bacpac, he's a nobleman.”

“I would be surprised if any blacks posted here. However, I might not identify myself, were I black, just to keep the comments honest. Now, you gotta ask yourself, punk. AM I BLACK?”

“LOFL. Strat don't agree w/ Phadreus and that means he needs educating. LOFL.”

“stickman, you don't need anything. you are very level headed.

i know i come off as seemig rude and crude sometimes, but that's the way i mac. this may only make matters(my debating style) worse....

lesubtil makes a good point. perhaps this should offend me.....




What about second class, or worse, citizenship and centuries of abuse?

Tom Terrific

tom, have you ever met a reverse racist? i helped a girl who was having car trouble, late one night. i let her use my phone(company cell that i get in trouble for), tried to get ehr car running, helped her push it off the road after i determined that the water pump was out....and her responce floored me...she was entirely rude and offensive to me, and i could tell it was cuz i'm white. i figured she had had some bad experiences in the past, which is understandable, but this thread got me to thinking.....

this has nothing to do with radio guys. it's really pathetic that you boil everything i say down to that. hardly a valid debating style, if you ask me. second class citizenship and centuries of abuse? do you really think that i'm in favor of that? do you really think i'm a bad hearted person? i don't rally care if you do, cuz i know i'm not. ask miss ruby next door....she calls me when she needs help(that reminds me, i need to fix her washing machine). i have indian blood in my veigns tom....should i be bitter and want a leg up for that? some people still ate indians you know....they were horribly abused and less than second class citizens...my blood is nothing i earned. just because i was born does not make me eligible for anything except freedom to make my own choices and earn what i have....”

“"have you ever met a reverse racist?"

Gee no Skippy, I grew up in the Washington, D.C./Baltimore area.
I've only seen black folks on TeeVee.”

“Well, I seen the fires burnin'
And the local people turnin'
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
And they say it serves 'em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it's the same across the nation
Black & white discrimination
Yellin' "You can't understand me!"
And all the other crap they hand me
In the papers and TV
'N all that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
'Cause the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
(No matter if it's black or white)
Because he's out for blood tonight
Now we gotta sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
Bet there won't be many left
To see it really end
'Cause the fire in the street
Ain't like the fire in the heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don't you know that this could start
On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain't no great society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn't free
And the law refuse to see
That all you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
Just won't amount to nothin' more
Watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor
Blow you harmonica son!

“violin, it's true..... alot fewer people are going to vote exclusively because of abortion. let me show you what i mean by that. most people who are prolife are also generally conservatives. so they would most likely vote for a conservative prolifer than a liberal prolifer.
whereas most people who are poor or black are going to vote for the people who give them the most money, and/or benifits. it's all about creating a dependant class. look at the presidential race, it was basically half and half, we can all agree it was close. well...half the people in america don't pay taxes, and the other half do. that's basically where the split in the vote is. oh, i know there are some rich liberals(some aparently among us) and poor repubs, like me..but if the lower half is lifted up to the point where they have to pay taxes too, there is no longer a need for liberals in office to take rich people's money and give it to poor people.

But bygod, I am pretty sure that some of those kids I went to school with were only getting one hot meal on most days and that was in the school cafeteria. And it damn sure wasn't because they could (but didn't) do something about it.

I will never begrudge a single nickle of the tax dollars spent on their lunch, and, in fact, I am damn glad it happened.”

“Bush’s Bigger, Fatter Welfare State

by Chris Edwards and Tad DeHaven

Chris Edwards is the director of fiscal policy and Tad DeHaven is a policy researcher at the Cato Institute.

Added to cato.org on July 18, 2003

This article originally appeared on National Review Online on July 18, 2003.



The Bush administration has weighed in on the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriation bill being debated in Congress. Unfortunately, the administration's policy statement on the bill shows how deeply it has embraced expansion of the welfare state.

The statement is riddled with complaints about "underfunded" programs and demands for "full funding" of new "initiatives." It requests that Congress increase funding on social programs with trite names, such as Parent Drug Corps, Compassion Capital Fund, and Steps to a Healthier US. The administration has rapidly expanded domestic spending, and this statement reveals the mushy liberal mindset at work behind the increases with little regard to taxpayer costs.

Steps to a Healthier US promises "community initiatives to promote and enable healthful choices." Checking out the program details here suggests that most of the money for this federal-local community partnership will get swallowed up in a bureaucracy of grant applications, strategy guidebooks, and national summits with 1,000 community leaders.


The statement says that the administration is "disappointed" that the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program will get only $1.8 billion, and that the Access to Recovery Treatment Voucher Program will get "only" $100 million. The statement demands that the Corporation for National and Community Service be "fully funded," else Congress "would deny thousands of Americans the opportunity to participate in national service." This sounds like the sort of liberal carping that one would expect from Ted Kennedy.

The administration should be supporting conservatives in Congress who actually want to get federal spending under control. Yet Bush wants to show that he is "compassionate" with his conservatism. But big-time social spending sure isn't compassionate to federal taxpayers.

What is also disturbing about this administration's budget policies is that "reforms" always seem to cost taxpayers more money. For example, the administration's statement applauds Congress for spending an added $129 million on Medicare appeals, but then asks that the process be "streamlined." Shouldn't a streamlined process save taxpayers money, not cost them more? Similarly, Medicare reform is supposed to be about cutting costs to avert the program's coming financial crisis. In theory, prescription drugs should cut costs by reducing hospital stays. Yet taxpayers are getting walloped with an added $400 billion burden over the next 10 years because of the Medicare drug "reform" plan.

We saw the same thing with the president's education reforms. Education Department outlays have ballooned 65 percent in just three years. Now, the administration's policy statement on the appropriation bill urges Congress to "provide the full request" for a superfluous Mentoring of Middle School Students program, which is claimed to help kids make a "successful transition from elementary to secondary school."

Since coming to office, the administration has been running a strangely compartmentalized budget policy — letting Americans keep more of their money on the tax side, but steadily building up the welfare state on the spending side. That political strategy won't work much longer because spending is ultimately a taxpayer issue. Higher spending pushes up the deficit and creates a looming threat of higher taxes down the road.

Higher spending also threatens the president's own tax-cutting legacy because liberals in future congresses will no doubt use the high deficit as an excuse to demand that the Bush tax cuts be allowed to expire. In addition, further tax reforms will be that much more difficult unless spending is controlled and budget room created.

The administration's high-spending strategy makes the Republicans vulnerable to charges of fiscal irresponsibility by the Democrats. Conservatives in Congress need the president's leadership to try to cut unneeded welfare-state programs. What they don't need is the administration's constant griping that pet projects are "underfunded."”

“1966 - Cloward - Piven Strategy Unveiled at Socialist Scholars Conference


Many commentators on the U.S. left have tried to minimize the significance and importance of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, made famous by writer James Simpson and TV personality Glenn Beck.

According to Simpson and Beck, Columbia University sociologists, husband and wife team Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, devised a strategy in the early 1960s, to crash the U.S. economy and bring on socialist revolution by deliberately overloading state welfare rolls to the point of bankruptcy.

Many on the left regard this hypotheses as gross exaggeration at best, deliberate misrepresentation at worst.



Richard A. Cloward

Cloward and Piven outlined their strategy at the Second Annual Socialist Scholars Conference , held September 9-11, 1966 at the Hotel Commodore, New York, in a panel entitled;

"Poverty and Powerlessness Organizing the Poor: Can it Be Done?"

Below is an eye witness report on this historic panel written by conservative journalist Alice Widener - a highly regarded authority on the U.S. left of the day. The report appeared in Widener's USA Magazine, September 16, 1966 page 28 and 29.

Read it and judge for yourself Cloward and Piven's intentions. Emphasis added.

Dr. Cloward's paper for the Socialist Scholars opened with a call for a systematic strategy of "irregular and disruptive tactics" among the poor, urging them to overburden city and state governments with their "demand,," as a means of forcing these governments to turn to the federal government for more and more funds.

Prof. Cloward said, "We need, to devote more attention to disrupting corporate power." He described the poor as mere "supplicants" in the welfare state, and said they have most to gain "from a major upheaval in our society." He said our welfare system is "lawless" and violates human and civil rights. He called for welfare recipients' forcing city welfare departments to impose the labor union "check-off system" for welfare clients, by withholding 50 cents to a dollar for each client as dues to a fund for unionization of welfare clients to impose their demands for special benefits.

Prof. Cloward explained that each welfare client in New York City is entitled under existing law to special benefits for clothing, blankets, etc. He said that in 1965 city special benefits welfare payments amounted to "about $40 per client" and he called for each welfare client to demand $100 to $1,000 in such benefits.

He said there are now 55,000 welfare clients in the city, but that by 1967 there probably will be 60,000. The poor, said Dr. Cloward, could become a stake and powerful organization "in small portions of power" within the context "of a broader point."

Dr. Cloward said he had consulted with legal experts and "we estimate that $200 million in special grants" could be obtained in New York City alone: Dr. Cloward said that 'in Cleveland, on June 20, 1966, 30 to 35 welfare recipients were joined by others in a demonstration that included the Hough area.

In early August, he said, he himself had taken part in "a national conference to organize the welfare recipients movement,: Dr. Cloward said he personally had taken part in Wednesday night meetings with welfare clients "week after week, month after month," and that as a result, "Next Monday there will be a demonstration of welfare recipients at City Hall"

Dr. Cloward read his paper to the Socialist Scholars Conference in the East Ballroom of the Hotel Commodore on Saturday afternoon, September 10. On Monday night, September 12, CBS and NBC TV newscasts showed the demonstration of screaming welfare recipients that took place right on Cloward schedule. They shouted demands for more "special benefits," though the present city general welfare budget (including hospital services, etc.) is almost a billion dollars annually, the Mayor says the city is "broke," and New Yorkers were hit this year with a city income tax in addition to state and federal taxes to pay for it all.

Prof. Cloward was right about the success of his Wednesday night meetings. Evidently his strategy of "disruptive tactics" will require costly police reinforcements at city welfare departments throughout our nation.

The prospects delighted Prof. William Ryan, formerly of Harvard now of Yale, who described himself to the audience as "a radical without portfolio." He said, "I have been enchanted with the Cloward strategy of blowing a fuse in the welfare agencies, housing developments, and among unmarried mothers. I wonder what would happen if there was a really systematic overload."

When a member of the audience went to the floor microphone during the question period to ask whether Dr. Cloward's strategy is a substitute for "Socialist organization of the proletariat, the industrial factory workers " Dr. Frances Piven of Columbia replied from the dais: "I really only want to make one point-the disruption of the system. Welfare rolls will begin to go up; welfare payments will begin to go up-the impact will be very, very sharp. The mounting welfare budget will increase taxes, force cities to turn to the federal government. We have to help people to make claims; for this they will organize and act."


The 1966 Socialist Scholars conference was organized by many of the leading radicals of the day including former and current Communist Party supporters Louis Menashe, James Becker, Philip Foner, Eugene Genovese, Paul Sweezy and James Weinstein - later a founder of the Marxist based Democratic Socialists of America, in which today Frances Fox Piven serves as an honorary chair.

One time Soviet Spy and Communist Party member Victor Perlo also addressed the conference, as did the Party's chief theoretician Herbert Aptheker.

No doubt all were impressed by Cloward and Piven's cunning plan.”

“Lol, Bush spent money on Medicare, so kids won't starve now due to the fact their parents are crack heads. I'm relieved. No wait, your post(s) wasn't even on topic, I apologize it was a lot of nonsense to take in over a short period of time. I hate to break it to you, but Bush's idea of welfare was to funnel money to church's. I'm not sure if you know any crack heads, but going to church and asking Jesus to help feed their kids isn't really on their list of things to do.”

“but Bush's idea of welfare was to funnel money to church's

That overgeneralization has very little to do with reality. Bush was far from a fiscal conservative when it came to providing welfare to the masses.”

“Bush was as far from a Conservative as you could get and still have an "R" as your party designation.

You guys remember the welfare and public assistance overhauls...One cool thing was a requirement that all recipients of assistance had to put in 8 hours of volunteer time a MONTH...Bushie got rid of it.”

“Obama's Church: It's Hidden Ties to Black Extremism and Communism Part 2

By Max Friedman

Since Obama officially joined the UCC about 1988 (though his first contact with Wright was in 1985), we have to look at what the Reverend and his church have been doing ever since. While some of the Church's newsletters are not available on their website, other information about their activities do appear in the websites of black reparationists and in a black Marxist publication.


As was mentioned in Kincaid's piece, in 1998, Rev. Wright was a panelist during a conference held by the avowedly marxist, anti-imperialist "Black Radical Congress." In fact, this information was listed in "The Black Scholar" magazine (Journal of Black Studies and Research), Vol. 28, No. 3/4, Fall/Winter 1998 and was found in the section " Black Radical Congress: Summary of Workshop Sessions June 19-21, 1998, University of Illinois at Chicago".

Others on this panel entitled "Faith as a Weapon: Spirituality and the Role of the Church in the Radical Movement" were also from the far-left and included well known leftist (Prof.) Michael Eric Dyson, marxist Prof. Cornel West, and CPUSA supporter Kevin Tyson (coordinator).


Obama supporters and DSA members Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson

In fact, many of the participants were actual co-founders of the BRC included Alkalimat, Bill Fletcher Jr (DSA), Manning Marable (DSA/COC), Cornel West (DSA), and Ahmed Obafemi (chairman, National Committe to Defend the New Afrikan Freedom Fighters - see next paragraph). Groups that helped to found the BRC included the New Afrikan People's Organization (NAPO), Black Workers for Justice, The Labor Party, the Communist Party USA, its split-off faction the Committees of Correspondence (COC), the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, African American Agenda 2000, and the Chicago Ida B. Wells Forum. The only way to describe these groups would be marxist, communist, and/or black extremist. The NAACP and the Urban League were no where to be found, and wisely so. [See: "Obama File 34 Black Radicals for Obama", 10/04/08, by the incredible research/writer Trevor Loudon of New Zealand].

[The Nov. 16, 1984 issue of "Information Digest" featured two major articles on the New Afrikan Freedom Fighters (NAFF) and the "New Afrikan People's Organization (NAPO). The NAFF was described as the "military arm of the Republic of New Afrika", while the NAPO was described as a group supporting the RNA, BLA, the Weather Underground and its front, the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee (JBAKC). "NAPO's national secretary is one Akinyele Ujoma". Ujoma was listed as a signer of "A Call to Act to Prevent World War III: April 29 (1985)" created by the marxist united front known as "No Business As Usual" (NBAU) among other causes.

ID reproduced the NAPO's "statement of principles" which included the
following: "NAPO is fully committed to the building of a sovereign socialist Black nation - the Republic of New Afrika. NAPO, along with other forces in the New Afrikan Independence Movement, sees what is presently known as Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina ... s the national territory of the Black nation (New Afrika), and sees to build a national liberation movement to free the land by any means necessary."

The FBI has also characterized the RNA as a violent, terrorist group, especially for its involvement in the deadly October 1981 Brinks robbery and killings in Nyack, NY. A detailed report on the RNA was featured in the March 18, 1983 issue of "Information Digest, which listed its key members, fronts, and relationships to other marxist and/or black extremist organizations The first "president" of the RNA was Maoist criminal Robert F. Williams, formerly of RAM ].

Many of the BRC's "Sessions" moderators and panelists were from the Communist Party (CPUSA), which constituted the largest organized group at this affair, while other participants had been active members of such diverse older marxist fronts and radical groups such as "The Guardian" newspaper, American Committee on Africa, National Lawyers Guild, Democratic Socialists of America, and Institute for Policy Studies.

Many people held multiple memberships in these and other groups interrelated groups and projects including the Reparations Coordinating Committee including Johnnetta Cole, Cornel West, Ronald Walters, and Randall Robinson, the leader of the marxist terrorist support group known as "Transafrica" whose successor leader Bill Fletcher Jr., was a co-founder of Progressives for Obama with Tom Hayden (SDS, Mr. Hanoi), castroite Danny Glover, and marxist Barbara Ehrenreich who poses as a "socialist."

The sponsoring Black Radical Congress/"The Black Scholar" magazine had a list of "Contributng and Advisory Editors" who came from such marxist, far-left groups or black enthnocentric movements as the CPUSA and its split off, the Committee of Correspondence (for Democracy & Socialism), Venceremos Brigade (a CPUSA/SDS founded Cuban support group), US, Republic of New Afrika (a Maoist-oriented black extremist group with a history of armed violence), and some of the early leaders of the "Black Power" movement.

The BRC has served as a nexus of many black marxist and black racist/ethnocentric organizations as will be seen below, as have a few other reparations groups. This interlocking web of extremists must be viewed in its entirety in order to understand how it provides a nationwide structure in which individuals and groups can move, recruit, raise money, lobby legislative organizations, and propagandize, often right under the nose of unsuspecting moderates, including many churches.

For example, at the Trinity Church, Rev. Wright and his cronies were also members of and/or attending conferences held by the black racist/separatist group known as N'COBRA, National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America, as mentioned in the Kincaid columns. This group started out as a small group of black extremists in Philadelphia and has spread across the country, though its actual membership appears to be a lot smaller than they will admit to.

They publish a newsletter entitled "Black Reparation Times" which started in 2003. We will get back to the "BRT" in a few paragraphs.


An initial search of the N'COBRA website and some of its links, brought up a copy of "ENCOBRA" Special Fundraising Edition, Vol. XII, No. 1, Summer, 2003, with a cover story entitled "National Five Year Strategic Plan, Building N'COBRA and the Reparations Movement, 2003-2008". It concerned their National Board Meeting and Retreat in Princeville, No. Carolina.

Of interest was the following description of American society by Dorothy Benton Lewis, National Co-Chair, as mentioned in her yearly review and mission statement.

"The work we do in the reparations movement will transform the toxic society in which we live. We most also transform the toxic effects this society has on us."

Her hate-America venom flowed freely but Lewis' history is an interesting one, that must be brought out because of her ties to Rev. Wright and his church.

Among the groups that she credited with being predecessors of N'COBRA were the "Self-Determination Committee, Black Reparations Commission, Africa People's Socialist Party, African National Reparations Organization and the Republic of New Afrika, to new a few."

Well, the APSP pretty much describes itself as "socialist" or marxist, while the Republic of New Afrika has been a terrorist organization responsible for the killing and wounding of several police officers as well as having some of its members involved in terrorist acts across the country. They follow the old Communist Party plan of establishing an independent black nation consisting of about five states in the Black Belt of the southern U.S. (See: "The American Negro in the Communist Party", report, Dec. 22 1954, House Committee on Un-American Activities, for a short summary of the CP's plans for the south).

The African National Reparations Organization (ANRO) is very interesting because so little is known about it by the public outside of the black extremist movements. According to the authoritative publication "Information Digest" of Aug. 17, 1984, this group "was established in November 1982 by the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), an Oakland-based Marxist group that occupies a niche (and a headquarters) previously filled by the Black Panther Party (BPP). The ANRO chairman is Dorothy Lewis, formerly a leader of the National Black Independent Political Party (NBIPP). APSP chairman Joseph Waller, aka Omal Ye#&%!$ela, founded APSP in St. Petersburg, Fla. in the early 1970's."

[Note: the NBIPP was an attempt to unite many black leftist and ethnocentrist groups under one political umbrella, and it lasted for only a couple of years at the most. Leftist Ron Daniels was one of its leaders, in between his many stints with other marxist groups such as the CPUSA-National Lawyers Guild-created Center for Constitutional Rights].


Chokwe Lumumba

This brief report also mentioned that Waller, Ben Chavis (UCC, NAACP leader, CPUSA front leader, and now Black Moslem), and others set up an International Prisoners' Solidarity Committee (IPSC) and an International African Prisoners of War Solidarity Day rally (March 30-31, 1973) "in Jackson, Miss. in support of the Republic of New Afrika(RNA)" which was "initiated by leaders of the RNA" in "support of both
Eldridge Cleaver, then living in Algiers and 11 RNA members arrested after an August 1972 shootout with police and FBI agents during which one officer was killed." "Cleaver's BPP faction had given rise to the terrorist Black Liberation Army (BLA) during the 1971-72 period. Among the principal RNA organizers of the protest were Chokwe Lumumba (BRC Sessions), Leroy Boston, and Cynthia Boston (aka Fulani) - all prominent in the investigations and prosecutions following the October 1981 Brinks armed robbery and murders of two Nyack police officers and one Brinks guard), in Nyack, NY."

[Chokwe Lumumba was listed as the RNA Minister of Justice in the 3/18/83 issue of "Information Digest"].


Joseph Waller, aka Omal Ye#&%!$ela

A much longer piece on Waller was found in the "Information Digest" of March 9, 1984 in the section " "Burning Spear: African Peoples Socialist Party." It gave more information about his past ties to violence-advocacy groups, crime, domestic terrorist support groups and even foreign terrorist groups in Ireland (IRSP), Palestine (PFLP), South Africa (PAC), El Salvador (FMLN), and Nicaragua (FSLN). Domestic marxist and terrorist support groups included the mixed marxist Mass Party Organizing Committee, led by marxist attorney Arthur Kinoy (CPUSA fronts, NLG, CCR), which later became the National Coalition for Independent Political Action (NCIPA) and the Weather Underground Organization's Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC).

Waller/APSP also set up a "white" members support group known originally as the African People's Solidarity Committee (APSC) which later became the Committee in Solidarity with African Independence (CSAI), a telephone booth-sized organization. The CSAI set up a front group for themselves called the African National Reparations Organization Support Committee (ANRO-SC).

This information on the ANRO/APSP and its ties to both the RNA and BLA are important because they also tie these marxist extremist groups into the white Weather Underground Organization of Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn. The old WUO morphed into the May 19th Communist Organization, led in part by Kathy Boudin, whose son Chesa has been raised by the Ayers while his mother serves a long sentence in jail for her part in the Nyack killings (his father is serving life for this crime).

The Nyack robbery was one of several done by a joint group of M19C and BLA/exRNA members in New York and possibly other states. While this has some distant connection to Sen. Obama thru the Ayers (whom he did not know at that time), it also connects him to the Rev. Wright and his church who had direct ties to some of these people in the reparations movements, especially Lewis, Lumumba and others who either were participants and/or members of the Black Radical Congress (Cole - Venceremos Brigade, an SDS/CPUSA project; Maulana Karenga - US; Imari Obadele - RNA); and Ron Walters - too many groups to list), as well as the "Sessions" partici-pants of June 1998 (Lennox Hinds - National Conference of Black Lawyers, the US affiliate of the Soviet legal front, the International Association of Democratic Lawyers which operates thru a sister front known as the Association of American Jurists headquartered in Cuba, and who was married to Jennifer Dohrn, Bernadine Dohrn's sister); Adjoa Aiyetero - black lawyer, N'COBRA NCBL; and Tim
(Timuel) Black, a Chicago political power and friend/supporter of Obama (ACLU board member and supporter of an effort to put the CPUSA on the Illinois ballot in 1974, ("Daily World", 8/24/74, "Illinois Communists press court fight for ballot status").

According to one interesting article on Imari Obadele, entitled "Imari Obadele: The Father of the Modern Reparations Movement" by Robert C. Smith, June 2000, Obadele formed the RNA with "his Malcolm X Society associates in 1968."

From the House Committee on Un-American Activities report "Guerrilla Warfare Advocates in the United States", May 6, 1968, we find the following information on the Malcolm X Society on page 24.

"On the weekend of March 30, 1968, a convention of black nationalists was held in Detroit under the sponsorship of the Malcolm X Society. Fifty delegates to the convention signed a declaration of independence calling for the establishment of a separate Negro nation in the territory encom-passed by the States of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina.

Robert Williams (ed:an avowed Maoist and one-time federal fugitive from kidnaping charges) was elected president of the group. H. Rap Brown, chairman of SNCC (ed: now a Black Moslem, is serving a life sentence for the murder of a law enforcement officer) was elected as the organization's 'minister of defense.' The widow of Malcolm X, Mrs. Betty Shabbazz, was elected a vice president."


Betty Shabazz

Shabazz has been a steady supporter of both communist and black moslem groups, as well as the RNA, and has accused Rev. Louis Farrakhan of having a role in the slaying of her husband, Malcolm X, the leader of a Nation of Islam faction in 1965.

Many of these names will keep appearing in other groups and causes through the years, from a few innocuous groups to those on the hardcore marxist left and/or in the black extremist arena].”

“I am certain Crash has Violently opposed these groups...he just keeps his opposition under wraps until he can use it as a support for opposing freedoms.”
