CIVILIZED AMERIKKKAN CITIZENS

I hope that his message reaches you...

I am one of Amerikkas Black captives. A Black man. A Black son. A Black father. A Black brother. A Black uncle. A Black nephew. A Black cousin. A Black friend. And, supposedly, one of Amerikkas Black citizens. Though, from my birth, I have been treated as Amerikkkas sworn enemy due to my skin color and a drug war that was launched, by u.s. presidents, against me and my kind before I was even able to go off the porch without permission or even know what drugs were and that my living area was a war-zone.

A war that I never initiated but grew up in as if I was born in the occupied Gaza Strip. This war has created dysfunction in the Afreekan descendant "communities" of the u.s., if we can really call them communities. As products of this war-zone environment that the u.s. government created, it has landed me, as well as other Black and Brown people, in prison and others lie in graves.

The Seminole and Vietnam wars are known as the longest lasting wars the u.s. government has been involved in. (Seminole war 1736—1848) (Vietnam war 1954—1975). But the Drug war, (started in 1971 with nixon and revitalized with reagan in the 1980's), a war that most people aren't aware of, is now the second longest lasting next to the Seminoles 112 year run, which too, was a war that was launched by the u.s. government against Blacks in the Florida frontier. Amerikkka's general, Thomas Jessup, wrote to the war department about the Seminole war stating, "Gentlemen, this you may be assured, is a Negro and not an Indian war."

Though this is 2011 and we are in the age of color-blindness, the u.s. government is still up to its old tricks. This war, that the u.s. government launched on drugs is really a war that was deliberately launched on Black communities and its people.

A people that are disfranchised can not feel like citizens of a country but enemies. The system that the u.s. so-called forefathers and present politicians have made and continue to perpetuate, is not civilized. A civilized people do not enslave their people or intentionally create a trap or dysfunctional situation for their fellow citizens. But that is the key. The traps were not created for the white "citizens" of this country. They were created for the non-whites, Black in particular, who were not considered to be citizens when the Declaration of Independence and u.s. Constitution was written.

Just as the trap of a Drug war as a means to get Black and Brown people into prison (slavery again) was set for Black and Brown people. There has been many amendments to both documents to say Blacks etc. are all citizens of this country now. But the actions of the u.s. government shows otherwise. The actions of the government are that of the uncivilized. And the actions of the Black and Brown people in dysfunctional communities are the product of those uncivilized people in government. By looking at a country's people, its minority groups, its prisons and its laws, you can determine who is really uncivilized and who is a product of that environment.

Hello Marvin, hopefully one day someone will hear your logic, and understand your point of views. If only more people were to stand with you than against you then you would have a movement towards successfully transforming these harsh realities into something more positive for the nextt generation.... Being between the bars with a limitation of outside resources can be a challenge within itself, but in order to get anywhere you have to start somewhere.... Utilize all of your resources and free time to work on a change for the future.... Mrs Wilson-Wilson
