proper treatment.....
Manifesto for The Proper Treatment of Poor, Disenfranchised, Hard-Core
Unemployed, Unemployed, Left Out and Homeless People The World Over, Especially
in Africa, Argentina, Asia, Russia, Europe, South America, The United States,
Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela, South America and Latin America…
Written by A Proud Representative of the African People.
1] All Poor, Disenfranchised,
left out, unemployed, hard-core unemployed, disabled and Homeless People are to
be treated with respect and dignity by other poor, Homeless, unemployed, hard-core
unemployed, left out and Disenfranchised People and by the rest of the world
also including government officials, social workers, the wealthy, business
owners, and Presidents of so-called powerful nations such as The United States,
China and the Soviet Union, and smaller Nations as well including African
Nations.....
2] When serving a so-called
``free meal’’ to the poor, the Homeless, the hard-core unemployed, the
unemployed, The Left Out and the Disenfranchised, These People [Our People] should
ALWAYS be told what the food they are eating is and the salt and sugar content
in case they are hypertensive or diabetic or have a religious or social
aversion to pork, fish, chicken, beef, or Turkey… To do anything else may well
be a health risk to the communities being served by the distributors of food
and said distributors and servers may be offending a legitimate religious
belief or causing a health risk...
3] When giving out so-called
``free clothing’’ to the poor, the hard-core unemployed, the Left Out, the
unemployed, the Homeless, the disabled and the Disenfranchised, the distributor
of the clothing should always tell the receiver of the items if they were
produced under severely economically exploited or severely economically strained
conditions, such as but not limited to poor working conditions, low pay and or
sweat-shop conditions…or produced and or manufactured by children illegally. Ultimately, such clothing should be either new
or clean so as to not spread germs, fungus, bugs and dirt.
4] We, as just regular ole
everyday Black folk, need to learn how to treat one another with more
RESPECT—just like our good sister Aretha Franklin said some 40 years ago. There is a seriousness that needs to be brought
back into our struggle. That does NOT
mean we can’t joke around a bit. If you
REALLY listen to some of Minister Farrakhan’s speeches He almost always has a
good thing or two to say that is funny and uplifting about Black People. What we have been through is no joke and
there are culprits, but often we ourselves are our own worst enemies. My Mother used to tell me I have to stop
being my own worse enemy and be my own best friend. This is something we ALL could learn from. I
strongly suggest we go to the Black book store and look through the self-help
section and find something interesting to read. I always say we need to just go
there with about $20.00 and you will find something pop out at you. GOD Will show you something to read that Will
be helpful. Remember to have a good sense of humor when we struggle, but don’t
be callus or cruel and make fun of others unnecessarily.
5] Now I know this is
controversial because I am an out homosexual, but I want you to read for free
some of my own writing. You can pick and choose some of my writing at: http://ThePoliticsOfReal.Blogspot.Com
Or you can read movie reviews at http://amatterofmovies:reviewsbybrothertracygibson.blogspot.com
TURN OFF THE TV for a while TURN
OFF the game and read some Black history and some of my writing or I think
there are several CD’s by Minister Farrakhan and I think Reverend Al Sharpton
also has a new book out. Any of these
things are great to read. I also have a
book list with over 400 books on it. If you write me, you Will get a book list
if you request one. There is also a good book list at www.AvengingtheAncestors.org
I am also working on bringing out two works of
literature myself: ``Writing in Wet
Cement,’’ and ``Let the Children Gather,’’ both of which are dedicated to
helping our youth, especially Black males,--but the rest of us as Well-- follow
a more constructive and responsible path and live more ethical lives.
6] Also: don’t be afraid to read
something from outside of your comfort range.
Read something by a Cuban author; an African writer; a Brazilian writer;
a Venusian writer; or a writer from specific parts of Africa such as the Congo,
Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya—where our President is from; or Cameroon
or Niger—which is from where my own People are from. Don’t be fearful of
opening your mind and thinking a bit and don’t get too caught up on having so
many ``things’’ like you think your neighbor has. He or She may be looking for the next hot
meal like you and I are doing. Be real with yourself, Be honest with yourself.
GOD LOVes you no matter what you have done or who you are.
7] If I am not mistaken, to be a
Muslim is just to be a person who works for and or believes in Peace. I am a
traditional Christian, I attend The Unity Fellowship Christ Church in
Philadelphia, which is a gay and lesbian and transgendered friendly
church. However, I must, going by this
definition, I must also be a Muslim. GOD
knows I LOVe Farrakhan and what He and other Muslim ministers have done for our
people. Minister Rodney Muhammad has always been one of my favorite People
in the world. Not only because He is
articulate, and Well-spoken and mannerly, but because I know He really cares
about Black People. Many of us have to
work through a lot of mental anguish and pain and hurt to be able to say we
really LOVe our people—Our Black People...
It takes real work and effort to get there. Don’t be scared to talk to a
therapist or Pastor or Minister or Counselor, or a good family friend or a
relative who has a mind to be able to help you if that is what it takes to get
to a more positive place of self-acceptance.
It is worth the journey. I was in
therapy for 30 years, but the end result has been magnificent. Being a Person
who LOVes Black People and Poor People and the oppressed is a gift from
GOD. You Will work towards Real Peace,
Real Justice and Real Freedom when you get to that stage where you LOVe your
People. It is a natural progression.
8] People who do have or who once had what
many people call a deviated sexual background, such as child molesters,
perverts, homosexuals, transgendered people, rapist, people into sado masochism
or other sexual deviations have often found themselves victims of sexual child
abuse when they were children or victims of sodomy, rape or other sexual
intimidation or other forms of abuse.
Such kind and character have become more prevalent in Africa over the
last decade or few decades. As African
people of the Diaspora we must find Ways to study and understand these
behaviors and phenomena and not try to root out such behaviors by way of force,
extermination, further abuse by the state, or un-due punishment, victimization,
solitary confinement or other abuses of such people, but must as an African
society, make sure that such people are given all due fair treatment as deemed
by the New African Convention. Root
causes of such behaviors, if they are legitimately found to be totally
disruptive and a threat to our African children and our African society—there
must be Ways found and discovered to root out such behaviors in future African
societies. Deep psychiatric study,
historical study and cultural relational study must be made of these
subjects. Meanwhile our children and The
African Family MUST be protected. A fair and impartial trial must be allotted
to each and every person accused of these behaviors before any punishment can
be imposed or implemented and punishment CANNOT be death, but should fit the
crime and be non-violent and appropriate such as losing out of economic
advancement; confinement away from our children and families; and or labor
agree to by the village or community in which the accused, the offended and or
the person or persons found guilty resides but only if that labor benefits the
community that was offended and must NOT last for too long or too undue a time.
Finding actual guilt is crucial in all cases. We must also take into account
that in the case of homosexuality, world-wide community standards, within our
African Diaspora must be accessed, judged and taken into consideration in
determining what African community standards are and what, if any, punishments
are to be devised and implemented. If a
certain country, part of a country or village is a danger to Black homosexuals,
such dangers must be well posted and made clear to ALL families, residents,
guests and visitors. It must be noted that this writer is beginning to see
homosexuals as not a threat to the Black community or the world, but may in
fact be utilized as an assistant in stabilizing Black communities. Black homosexuals tend to have more usable
incomes and can invest in our people and communities in a positive Way more
easily than other sectors of the community who might have children and the
financial responsibilities that come along with children. Also: The Black
homosexual can re-create and create African culture in their own communities to
help stabilize, identify and establish themselves as a separate community from
homosexuals in other cultures. Such other cultures may have a more destructive,
self-gratifying and twisted idea of what homosexual culture is and may need to
be shunned by Black homosexuals who want to be part of the Black family and the
Black family structure. Such other
homosexual cultures have obviously been found to be a threat to our Black
families, Black people and especially Black children. Black society may well be lumping Black
homosexuals into the same category with ALL other homosexual cultures and
societies, which may well NOT be fair, or conducive to the conducting of
justice. It is also crucial and appropriate
to take on the consideration of and the issue of overpopulation when
considering and judging Black homosexuals, Black homosexual populations and
their behaviors. In many Black
communities and Black villages there is an abundance of children and having a
population of people who don’t have children can and, I believe in the future,
will be looked upon as an advantage both socially and economically. In the
United States, for example, there are many Black children who reside in foster
homes, day care centers and adoption homes who have no stable homes and stable
families. Such children should be
considered viable candidates for adoption by stable, financially able and
willing adult Black homosexual couples or homosexual individuals with similar
backgrounds. Full background checks and full behavioral and psychiatric studies
must be included in ANY successful adoption. This writer feels that Black homosexuals
should NOT be victims of discrimination, hatred, resentment, or chastisement
especially if they take part in Black cultural events, the establishment of
Black culture, Black political events—especially if they are deemed to be
moving our Black People and our Black society onward and upward in a positive
motion. We may well need such Black homosexuals to help create some of the very
culture that has always existed and that is very beneficial to our Black
People. I have friends and associates
who are transgendered, but I am generally unaware of the issues faced by Black
transgendered people. I do feel,
however, they MUST be judged fairly and adequately and NOT necessarily shunned
and discriminated against. Torture and
death for such people MUST be totally out of the question of and realm of
acceptable behavior on the part of any Black state or any thinking Black
individual or individuals. We all know
that such people, Black homosexuals, Black Transgendered people etc., may have
excessive sexual behaviors that need to be evaluated and accessed if they
become a proven threat to other Black people, especially children. All members of the Black community should
work towards being more ethical, moral and decent people as we work towards the
development of our Black world into a more wholesome, sane, healing,
sustainable, environmentally sound and loving social order.

Manifesto: The Proper Activity
for Black Businesses and ALL Businesses Operating anywhere on the World.
Written by A Fair-Minded Proud
African Activist Working for the Working People of the World.
1] Businesses should be open and
accepting of their employees being unionized as the Workers see fit and should
NOT work to stop or under mind unionization.
2] Unions must be accepting and
open to all people joining the union, including all faiths, colors, skin
colors, religions, creeds, sexual orientations, sexes, gender identities etc.
3] Businesses should NOT exploit
or super exploit Workers, but instead must offer full and complete mental
health benefits, health benefits and dental benefits and offer Workers full
time hours at a good working wage at least $13.00 an hour in the United States
according to living costs [it may need to be higher in places like Chicago, New
York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.].
4] Businesses Must Do Their
honest best NOT to pollute. Waters and streams and the air must be kept as
clean as possible, when utilized by industry—and that includes China and
anywhere else business and industry does business in the world including United
States and India.
5] Businesses must put forth a
stable and public policy that allows open and fair representation of employees
wishes, needs and desires at every level of operation.
6] ALL these positive changes
MUST be implemented in a timely and on-going fashion.
7] Businesses must provide
adequate heat and or air conditioning for the vast majority of workers,
customers and administrators to feel comfortable.
something rather funny... A Special note to Black Parents.....
I LOVe your children more than you do. Now right off the bat, you are saying that such a proposition is preposterous and ridiculous, but it is simple: I don't really know your children like you do so it is easy to just LOVe our Black children and want the best for them and want them so survive and thrive as healthy, well-read, educated, well-rounded Black human beings with positive futures..... Good nutrition and no candy much and no sodas much is a must. However actually providing all this for them is another matter. This is a really Big Job and I am leaving this to you. I will help by saying a Blessing for them each and every day. I know I LOVe your children more than you do because I don't have to put up with them like you do. That is YOUR job. You had them, not I. If Bill Cosby is reading this, and a Little Birdy told me He might, I am hoping He will take this for HIs routine.Kokayi..

police brutality statement
Brutality at the Hands
of the Police in Philadelphia and More...
Black People have undeniably been
brutalized in their own communities in Philadelphia at the hands of police
officers acting in a criminal manner.
There have been books written about the MOVE confrontations, for
example, [I will list some of them at the end of this article], and ALL of us
who are Black and older remember how the police actually stripped the Black
Panthers in Philadelphia to humiliate, embarrass and dehumanize them right in
front of the cameras for the Daily News.
If you go back into the archives of the Philadelphia Daily News you can
probably still find the pictures. But
there have been individual cases of out and out police brutality in more recent
years as well. I remember going to a
rally right in North Philadelphia for a Black male youth who was murdered in
cold blood by police officers in Philadelphia....
There is a deep feeling in me, at
the same time, that wants to bring some balance, fairness and equality to this
issue. Many Black people and Black
Grass-Roots political activists have made police brutality a Hot Button issue
to rally support for not only that issue but other issues as well. I totally understand this and understand the
frustrations of the Black activists whose job it is to bring together the community
for a particular seminar or teach-in, but find a community asleep and unwilling
to come out because ``the game is on,'' or ``we ain't serving no food'' or
``that's dem radicals--I don't necessarily agree with those radical views of
theirs.'' I don't like to be blunt, but
we need to do more listening to WURD and Michael Coard and listen Up when He
has Pam Africa or Ramona Africa on talking about Mumia Abu Jamal. [I have only
followed the Mumia case in a light manner because I feel He should be
retried--not set free. Amnesty International also feels this Way... I feel it is when He is re-tried that, it
will release to public information the totally rotten core of our political
system and how it needs to be dramatically overhauled. If Mumia is freed this Will NOT happen. At the same time, I do agree that it is a
political travesty and a sorry state of affairs that He is still in jail.]
I have some thoughts to share
that are more in line with some other thinking that is also widely held in the
Black community about the Philadelphia police.
I feel, for example, that the Three officers who have had murals
depicting them placed on the Wall at Broad and Compost [not far from Broad and
Olney] in North Philadelphia because they were killed, I feel this is a shame
and something We as Black people should NOT feel proud of. I haven't done the research, but some of
those officers were killed by Black people.
But it doesn't only matter that they were killed by Black people who may
or may not have been found guilty. They
are humans and as such their lives should NOT have been taken, just like the
lives of ALL of the victims of crime in our community should not have been
taken, or those among us who are beaten, raped, robbed, or otherwise
criminalized, should NOT have been so victimized either.
That Wall has an impact on
me. It haunts me when I pass by and I
have two friends who live near there so I'm near there sometimes to visit them.
There are a host of issues that come to mind here. First of ALL: there are just too many hand
guns in our community. Interestingly our
so-called Black President only took up the issue of hand guns--if I'm not
mistaken—as he lobbied Congress after the fatal incident of mostly White little
children at Sandy Hook Connecticut being injured. We need a lot of help in
getting those hand guns off the street.
But there are other systemic problems that I don't think were even
addressed by the President and some others concerning the inner city crime that
is taking place in our neighborhoods across the country. Not at least by the
President in the manner he should be talking about it. Jobs are a real and present deterrent to
criminal behavior. It has been
scientifically proven that if the Brother down the street has a good job at a
good wage, He is less likely to rob His Brothers and Sisters who live up the
street and around the Way. Mo Later....

agree to disagree on certain points or even work together on certain items,
issues or points. There are thousands of other men and women doing such work
who you can support. I am not the only Path or the only Way to achieve healing
and make things correct or better for yourself, your family, your loved-ones
and the good people in your life {and myself as well}. I am, myself, learning
to be a better person, dealing positively with major drawbacks and applying the
salve of help and healing, but I am also not waiting to be perfect to do what I
perceive of as GOD’s Work. God, I feel, works through people and always has
since the earliest of times. Yes, He or She does need your help. Don’t be a
stand-byer. Be a positive doer. GET INVOLVED in the positive work that needs to
be done. Being fearful or negative in your thinking will not help us or you.
I thank you for your help in lending assistance to the
most needy and those in need of help in the Black and formerly oppressed
communities in Philadelphia and elsewhere. Such people
are NOT necessarily poor, because the rich themselves are some of the most
lonely, needy and pathetic of souls and in need of help, LOVe & healing.
The question is: do they have the courage to get such help? **Anyone who would steal from this grass-roots, self-help
venue will be treated in the most LOVing of ways, but we can’t stop the force
of positivity of what we are engaged in. Hopefully such People are taking
information and encouragement away from us, if this is what they so choose to
do, to use it right away to help as many people as they can also reach a higher
level of success, Peace and decency. I ask these Brothers & Sisters to end
run their own negativity and return some of the source money they create for
themselves and re-invest in what our original plans are. We can all help many,
many of the poor, the disenfranchised, the left out and the differently abled
[but not necessarily only those categories of people]…. We have friends in high
places, middle places, low places and in-between places. Peace In!!
