    History of the Black Holocaust

    If history teaches us one thing its that our-story is different fromhistory and we only find out the truth long after that information is of

    any use in dealing with our current reality, unless of course, we gethip to their pattern of deception and out-right lying.

    Consequently, we look at all news and data to find out wuzup. TheKatrina deadly episode screams for us to learn and prepare as theyaccelerate their genocidal progams.

    Who are these people, where do they come from and how can theydo the things they do and have done with no shame, no humanism?Our-Story cant totally be reviewed here, instead we must alwayskeep in mind who these people are and what they have done and notwho we just want em to be, seen? Lets reach to Afrikan wisdom tosupply some perspective on our enemy.

    Talking about our yesterday that has been hidden from us, Cheikh

    Anta Diop put it this way:

    When we talk of racism in antiquity, it is important to

    understand that racism as we know it, could not have

    been expressed in the same way vis-a-vis Blacks, for

    the simple reason that it was Blacks who had

    monopolized technical, cultural and industrial know-

    how. The other races had to pattern their technological,

    cultural and religious developments after theaccomplishments of Egyptian technology, science

    culture and arts. The Greeks were forced to come

    humbly and drink at the fountain of Egyptian culture...

    It was to Egypt that all of the Greek scientists of the

    Helena's period came in search of knowledge. Hence,

    racism in the modern sense of the word could not have

    been exercised by whites against Blacks in the sameway during antiquity.

    Our illustrous Afrikan historian Dr. Josef ben-Jochannon had this to

    say in his classic work Blackman of the Nile and his Family:

    The Black man (indigenous Afrikan and his

    descendants) must once more write about himself, his

    culture, and his continent (Alkebulan, Afrika, Ethiopia,

    Libya, etc.); for no one cares about another's history.

    Moreover, when a man's history is written by hisenslavers or captors, regardless of his master's religion

    or economic philosophy, such a history is always

    distorted to suit the master-slave relationship; which

    is the only possible result from such an enforced union.

    In the Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey he explains

    education in a new light, one that would disarm the Culture Banditsand place them exposed naked before you:

    You can be educated in soul, vision and feeling, as

    well as in the mind. To see your enemy and know him

    is a part of the complete education of man; to

    spiritually regulate one's self is another form of the

    higher education that fits man for a nobler place in

    life, and still, to approach your brother by the feeling

    of your own humanity, is an education that softens

    the ills of the world and makes us kind indeed.

    Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, in her Cress Theory of Color

    Confrontation,travels through the white psychic with a laser focus

    on answering the question of the ages. Why are these people so

    barbaric toward the 90% of the population of this earth who are termed

    people of color? She concludes that their fear of genetic annihilation

    leads them to enact a very paranoid love/hate relationship with Afrikan

    people. She views their castrations of Black men, over-protection of

    the white female, tanning of skin to achieve color while risking skin

    cancer, as just a few of the symptoms dripping like a pusy sore onhue-manity. She writes:

    Psychiatrists and other behavioral scientists frequently

    use the patterns of overt behavior towards others as

    an indication of what is felt fundamentally about self.

    If hate and lack of respect are outwardly manifested

    towards others, hate and lack of respect are most often

    found at deeper level toward the self.

    On this our Elder Neely Fuller writes in his Textbook for Victims ofWhite Supremacy:

    Most white people hate Black people. The reason that

    most white people hate Black people is because whites

    are not Black people. If you know this about white

    people, you need to know little else. If you do not

    know this about white people, virtually all else thatyou know about them will only confuse you.

    If you think that is bad, those who hated themselves put in work to

    make us hate ourselves. Their methods of brainwashing and the use

    of anti-Afrikan propaganda were the work of Amerikkkan Nigger

    Factories, which were executed by its two components education

    and the mass media. Add a heavy dose of TERROR (lynchings, policebrutality, privatized prisons etc.) as the knock out punch and its all a

    cocktail for genocide. Malcolm X taught us that:

    You know that we have been a people who hated our

    Afrikan characteristics. We hated our heads, we hated

    the shape of our nose, we wanted one of those long

    dog-like noses, you know; we hated the color of our

    skin, hated the blood of Afrika that was in our veins.

    And in hating our features and our skin and our blood,

    why, we had to end up hating ourselves. And we hated

    ourselves!

    Our color became to us a chain - we felt that it washolding us back. Our color became to us like a prison

    which we felt was keeping us confined, not letting us

    go this way or that way. We felt that all of these

    restrictions were based solely upon our color, and the

    psychological reaction to that would be that as long

    as we felt imprisoned or chained or trapped by Black

    skin, Black features and Black blood, that skin and

    those features and that blood holding us back

    automatically had to become hateful to us. And it

    became hateful to us."

    Ill give the last word to Samuel F. Yette. In 1971, in his ground

    breaking work The Choice, he offered this to clarify Amerikkkas

    intent. Take heed:

    Genocide is a political decision. It can be made by a

    town, city, state, nation or group of nations. It is apolitical decision... We cannot let those patterns, which

    have been applied so successfully around the world

    and which are already in motion in this country be

    carried out to their logical ultimate conclusion. These

    pattern must be halted now.

    And we must be the ones to do it. We cannot expecthelp from anyone but ourselves... This is not a problem

    of civil rights - it is a problem of Black survival. The

    concept of civil rights is pitifully insignificant when

    our very lives are at stake.

    It is time to put childish political immaturity aside. The table should

    now be set to study the impact of Katrina, the governments inaction

    and slow reaction. The historical importance of it and its genocidal

    implications.

    Was Katrina a man made weather-war attack or was it just an

    opportunity used to kill and drive out Black and poor people? After

    this study make up your mind, but it may require further research.

    Genocide in 1927, Genocide in 2005

    Our-Story teaches us everything we need to know about our enemies

    and their hatred of us, which leds to our victimization at every turn.

    Lets review the great flood of the Mississippi Delta in 1927. Theseare the official figures on the books supplied by Pete Danails, the

    world expert on the flood.

    The human and geographical extent of the 1927 Mississippi River

    Flood speaks for itself:

    16.5 million acres flooded in seven states

    637,000 people dislocated

    $102 million in crop losses

    162,000 homes flooded

    41,000 buildings destroyed

    6,000 boats used in rescue

    250 to 500deaths.

    At some points the flooded area measuredover eighty miles from

    east to west. It is important to note that other experts and witnesses

    challenge the official version and said thousands lost their live and

    almost everyone lost everything they owned. More than 50% of our

    people left the Delta forever citing the flood as the last straw in their

    segregated reality.

    They didnt even bother to count the Black dead and many cases

    never gave their people a chance to identify them and claim their

    bodies. Pete Daniel had this to add:

    In 1927 Southern life was segregated, so there were

    problems along the color line.The NAACP and otherblack leaders charged that planters were holding their

    workers in peonage (debt servitude), for the National

    Guard patrolled the camps and in some cases would

    not allow workers to leave without permission from

    the planters from whom they worked.Hoover

    appointed a "Colored Advisory Commission," headed

    by Robert R. Moton, the president of Tuskegee

    Institute, to investigatecomplaints about peonage and

    discrimination.Commission members visited manyof the camps and found peonage and discrimination

    in the facilities provided for African Americans.

    Racist whites had us on lock and we couldnt move. Meanwhile, the

    National Guard was used as the military was used in Katrina and

    2005 to oppress, to control and maybe even kill. The water was every

    where he went on:

    It couldn't go to New Orleans, panicky city fathers

    told the Army Corps of Engineers; it would devastate

    the regional economy.

    To save New Orleans, the leaders proposed a radical plan. South of

    the city, the population was mostly rural and poor. The leadersappealed to the federal government to essentially sacrifice those

    parishes by blowing up an earthen levee and diverting the water to

    marshland. They promised restitution to people who would lose their

    homes. Government officials, including Commerce Secretary Herbert

    Hoover, signed off.

    [ Holocaust ]

    On April 29, the levee at Caernarvon, 13 miles south of New Orleans,

    succumbed to 39 tons of dynamite. The river rushed through at

    250,000 cubic feet per second. New Orleans was saved, but the misery

    of the flooded parishes had only started. The city fathers took years

    to make good on their promises, and very few residents ever saw any

    compensation at all.

    [ Black Holocaust ]

    The suffering and dying was a horror delivered by greedy businessmen

    who cashed in on our peoples pain. We wandered outta the

    Mississippi Delta with no place to go but anywhere was better than

    there. Fast forward to 2005 and listen to an eyewitness account of

    the events that were not Katrina but the white man at work.

    Joe Edwards, Jr. told ABC News that:

    I heard something go BOOM!!... My house broke in

    half. My mother's house just disintegrated. It was a

    brick house. All the houses down there floated down

    the street like somebody's guiding 'em...

    When the reporter attempted to put words in his mouth Edwards stoodfirm:

    I know this happened, they blew it!

    Another witness and participant in the Katrina carnage is Jordan

    Flaherty and on Friday, September 2, 2005 at 4:03 PM he entered

    his observation in a written record and called it Notes From Inside

    New Orleans.

    If anyone wants to examine the attitude of federal

    and state officials towards the victims of hurricane

    Katrina, I advise you to visit one of the refugee camps.

    In the refugee camp I just left, on the I-10 freeway

    near Causeway, thousands of people (at least 90%

    black and poor) stood and squatted in mud and trashbehind metal barricades, under an unforgiving sun,

    with heavily armed soldiers standing guard over them.

    When a bus would come through, it would stop at a

    random spot, state police would open a gap in one of

    the barricades, and people would rush for the bus, with

    no information given about where the bus was going.

    Flaherty described how they were treated and told that once they

    were on a bus with a destination they would not be allowed off, even

    if they had relatives in the town they were passing thru.

    has been several high profile police killings of unarmed youth,

    including the murder of Jenard Thomas, which has inspired ongoing

    weekly protests for several months.

    Obviously, the high illiteracy rate (50%), Louisianas pitifuleducational system and low teacher salary has brewed a gumbo of

    despair and hopelessness. He points out that:

    Far too many young black men from New Orleans

    end up enslaved in Angola Prison, a former slave

    plantation where inmates still do manual farm labor,

    and over 90% of inmates eventually die in the prison.It is a city where industry has left, and most remaining

    jobs are are low-paying, transient, insecure jobs in

    the service economy.

    Race has always been the undercurrent of Louisiana politics. This

    disaster is one that was constructed out of racism, neglect and

    incompetence. Hurricane Katrina was the inevitable spark ignitingthe gasoline of cruelty and corruption. From neighborhoods that left

    most at risk, to the treatment of the refugees, to the the media portrayal

    of the victims, this disaster is shaped by race.

    The rich fled New Orleans and those with no way to get out and no

    where to go were locked in a struggle of life and death while the city,

    state and federal government sat on their hands and let them suffer

    and die. The New Orleans survivor goes on:

    Adding salt to the wound, the local and national media

    have spent the last week demonizing those left behind.

    As someone that loves New Orleans and the people

    in it, this is the part of this tragedy that hurts me themost, and it hurts me deeply.

    No sane person should classify someone who takes

    food from indefinitely closed stores in a desperate,

    starving city as a "looter," but that's just what the

  • 8/3/2019 Katrina and Black Holocaust Del Jones e Book Preview

    13/13

    13

    media did over and over again. Sheriffs and politicians

    talked of having troops protect stores instead of

    perform rescue operations. Images of New Orleans'

    hurricane-ravaged population were transformed into

    black, out-of-control, criminals. As if taking a stereofrom a store that will clearly be insured against loss

    is a greater crime than the governmental neglect and

    incompetence that did billions of dollars of damage

    and destroyed a city. This media focus is a tactic, just

    as the eighties focus on "welfare queens" and "super-

    predators" obscured the simultaneous and much larger

    crimes of the Savings and Loan scams and masslayoffs, the hyper-exploited people of New Orleans

    are being used as a scapegoat to cover up much larger

    crimes.

    The echo of the words of Samuel Yette will bounce around until we

    take heed and act in our own behalf:

    Genocide is a political decision. It can be made by a

    town, city, state, nation or group of nations. It is a

    political discussion... This is not a problem of civil

    rights - it is a problem of Black survival. The concept

    of civil rights is pitifully insignificant when our very

    lives are at stake.
