Why does the National Associated Association of Colored People still physically color-code themselves into a rival color? What if they renamed the last two letters of NAACP as "Cooperative Peace" instead? The word "cooperative" is like a breath of fresh air. It means willing or wanting to work together with others–in this case to dispel discrimination, not promote it in its title.
Dear Ones,
When any organization attempting to bring about reform against color-coding humanity, it seems rather hypocritical, if not silly, to use this divisive word in its name. The very label sounds racist, even though the term "human race" is bogus.
Two men in the 1700s (Carl Linnaeus and J. F. Blumenbach) decided to separate people into classes –a massive hierarchy of color, with so-called "white" on top of the pyramid and so-called "black" on the bottom of the pile. And we wonder why we still are killing one another in 2014 in racial religious wars.
Bigoted cops give good policemen a bad name by picking on American Africans. If you don't remember or know about Johnny Gammage, he was smothered to death by a group of thug cops who had the reputation of abusing and calling American Africans derogatory names in the Pittsburgh area.
He had nothing in his hand but a cell phone when he was pulled over by this gang. They knocked away his cell phone in his hand. He was driving a Cadillac that belonged to his cousin–a prominent Steeler football player. Every one of them got away without any litigation charged against them. At one time American Africans were guilty if driving an expensive car.
W.E.B. Dubois wrote, "The problem of the twentieth-century is the problem of the color line." Now we're living in 2014 and the same problem is still rampant with rage.
