I want to share portions of a book by Earl Ofarai Hutchinson, Ph,D. It is titled The Assassination of the Black Male Image.
"The image of the malevolent black male is based on a durable and time-resistant bedrock of myths, half truths and lies. The image was created during the European conquest of Africa, nurtured during slavery, artfully refined during the nadir of segregation, and revived during the Ronald Reagan-George Bush years. To maintain power and control, the plantation masters said that black men were savage and hyper-sexual. To strengthen racial control, late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century scientists and academics concocted pseudo-theories that said black men were criminal and mentally defective. To justify lynching and political domination, the politicians and business leaders of the era said that black men were rapists and brutes. To roll back civil rights and slash social programs, Reagan-Rush Limbaugh type conservatives say black men are derelict and lazy. The corporate controlled media defiantly drops the words "racism" and "economic injustice" from its vocabulary. It pounds, twists and slants all of these stereotypes into sensational headlines and sound bites, and dumps them back on the public as fact. The plot to assassinate the black male image has deep roots in America's sinister racial past."

"The Reagan-Bush administration's slash and burn of social programs was not just mean-spirited. It tapped the huge reservoir of racial know nothingness that has always slinked beneath the surface of American society while legitimizing and elevating racial scapegoating to national policy. In the era of scarcity and declining resources, the search for enemies is ruthless. Blacks are the oldest and most visible enemy. They are the logical target."

"If Americans think that black males are inherently stupid, there's no need to build more schools, hire more teachers, provide advanced materials, state of the art equipment and a college prep curriculum for them. If Americans think that black males are gang members, drive-by shooters, and dope dealers, there's no need to spend more on job skills training or entrepreneurial programs for them. If Americans think that black men are absentee or irresponsible father, there is not need to overhaul and strengthen welfare and income maintenance programs to insure greater family support systems for them."

"If Americans believe that young black males are a menace to society they will pay for armies of police, fortress-like prisons, repressive laws and shrilly call for sending the National Guard into the ghettos while gutting social programs and bankrupting cities. Many police and public officials in saner moments privately admit that none of this has made a dent in crime or the streets any safer.

"But they can't stop. So blacks are caught in a Catch 22. When they complain, they are told to stop yapping about racism and poverty and start cleaning up their own communities. When sympathetic whites complain, they are told that liberalism is dead or that when they get mugged they'll be talking about "those people" too."

"The assassination of the black male image has transformed black men into the universal bogeyman. The trick is to transfer them back into universal human beings. "

All Rise!

Tonights Lesson:

The Proud White Tradition of a Racist Lie

In August of 1896 a book titled, “The Race Traits and Tendencies of the American Negro”, written by Frederick Hoffman, hit the streets of America. Hoffman was a statistician for Prudential Insurance. He wrote the book to justify higher life insurance premiums charged to African Americans at that time. Here is the reason:

"All the tables for various states and cities confirm the census data and show without exception that the criminality of the negro exceeds that of any other race of any numerical importance in this country."-Frederick Hoffman

In this book Hoffman used the racial proportion argument to base his claims of black criminality. His claim was that due to traits inherent to blacks that the black race was dying off faster, were more violent, committed more crime and had a higher rate of illegitimate birth rates than whites. Now remember that his study was published in 1896 and in 1896, black codes, vagrancy laws, and convict leasing were in full effect. But that didn’t matter to Hoffman, blacks just simply had a natural propensity for crime and immoral behavior. He presented what is now the age-old claim of high black violent crime and rape. Never mind that in 1896 a black person could get accused of crimes they did not commit, get arrested, tried, and found guilty even when evidence showed they were innocent of the crime. He even denies that race had anything to do with lynchings. His findings were almost immediately criticized by black leaders at the time.

W.E.B. DuBois wrote a scathing critique of Hoffman’s work in a review published in the January 1897 volume of “Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.” Dubois found serious errors in Hoffmans work. He begins by questioning the source Hoffman used for his analysis, the Eleventh Census of the United States. "In the Eleventh Census, Mr. Hoffman expresses great faith, and thinks it as reliable as any of the previous enumerations. There nevertheless exists in the minds of many scholars grave doubts as to the accuracy of a large part of this census, and a disposition to base few important conclusions on its results. To this extent, therefore, many of Mr. Hoffman's conclusions will be discounted. The anthropological material collected at war-time is of undoubted value, if, as Dr. Gould himself points out, the student remembers that they relate to one sex only, and to the most healthful years. Finally, in all deductions drawn from the vital statistics of large cities, the student must know that only in recent years are these figures reliable, and that they give little or no clue to conditions in the country where over three-fourths of the Negroes live."

In his review Dubois found numerous errors in sampling and logic. He points out Hoffmans errors in understanding the impact of slavery on blacks as well as the response young blacks had at that time to the obstacles put in front of them due to white racism. Hoffman argued that what was happening to blacks was due to traits inherent in the black race. Dubois argued that circumstances and conditions were the cause. His argument boiled down to this: the root cause of the problems blacks faced was white racism. Dubois contrasted the death and illegitimacy rates of American blacks presented by Hoffman to rates in European cities. Dubois debunked Hoffmans claim in this regard by showing that the death and illegitimacy rates of blacks in the American cities Hoffman used for his study were lower than, Paris, Rome, Munich, Vienna, Stockholm, Paris and Brussels. Like some in the white community today, Hoffman ignored the systemic racism of that time as a causal factor. DuBois concluded:

"To comprehend this peculiar and complicated evolution, and to pronounce final judgment upon it, will take far greater power of analysis, niceness of inquiry, and delicacy of measurement than Mr. Hoffman brings to his task. In the absence of such an investigation, most persons will persist in seeing in the figures which Mr. Hoffman himself adduces, grounds for great hope. Rome, Munich, Vienna, Stockholm, Paris and Brussels have all shown in recent years more startling percentages of illegitimacy than the Negroes of Washington; while the Negroes of Rhode Island showed a rate of only five per cent of illegitimate births in 1890. The criminal statistics raise the whole question as to how far black and white malefactors are subjected to different standards of justice. The record of poverty is not startling for a people who started practically penniless a generation or two ago. On the other hand how much of toil, self-denial and patience does the fifteen millions of Negro property in Georgia represent, or the 833,000 acres of Virginia soil?

To sum up briefly, the value of Mr. Hoffman's work lies in the collection and emphasis of a number of interesting and valuable data in regard to the American Negro. Most of the conclusions drawn from these facts are, however, of doubtful value, on account of the character of the material, the extent of the field, and the unscientific use of the statistical method."

Kelly Miller another black leader of that time, also evaluated Hoffmans study and had similar criticisms. Again, he cites that the major error in Hoffmans work was that he assigned the cause of the problems to an inherent racial trait in blacks rather than the circumstances and conditions blacks faced at that time. Miller made the following conclusions of Hoffmans work:

The author’s conclusion will not stand the philosophical tests of a sound theory.

1. It is based upon disputed data. The accuracy of the eleventh census is not acceptable either to the popular or the scientific mind.

2. It is not based upon a sufficient induction of data. The arguments at most apply to the Negroes in the large cities, who constitute less than 12 per cent of the total population.

3. It does not account for the facts arranged under it as satisfactorily as can be done under a different hypothesis. The author fails to consider that the discouraging facts of observation may be due to the violent upheaval of emancipation and reconstruction, and are, therefore, only temporary in their duration.

Hoffman’s findings are part of a long tradition of denying the overall impact of racism by whites upon people of color, specifically blacks. His claims sound eerily similar to “black culture” claims made by today’s white racist subculture. Hoffmans racist views on blacks further mainstreamed a belief that crime and violence are inherent traits in black people. Today the remnants of such madness continues in books such as “The Bell Curve,” studies such as, “The Color of Crime,” or in the belief that all black men are violent and dangerous. While they continue teaching their children the same racists beliefs as their grandparents, we hear the wailing primarily from the right about how they should not be blamed for what their grandparents did. This belief has been maintained for so long that information such as what Males discovered remained outside of the so called liberally biased mainstream media. For example, when Males published his findings in 2013, he wrote: “FBI clearance and arrest tabulations now indicate black youths under age 18 account for just 2% of the nation’s homicides.” The data was basically ignored, even by then President Obama. But the implications of this study were so important that it was a dereliction of duty to not make this information widely known to the American public. “How did America miss this?” You would think this would be cause for celebration.

I find it laughable what so called “conservatives,” claim the media does not cover. While most of the right wing were letting sounds flow from their mouths that reflected long held racist opinions, young blacks were described by Mike Males in this report published in 2013:

Mike Males, “Why the Gigantic, Decades-Long Drop in Black Youth Crime Threatens Major Interests,” The Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, August 15, 2013, Why the Gigantic, Decades-Long Drop in Black Youth Crime Threatens Major Interests — Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice

“Today’s young African Americans display the lowest rates of crime and serious risk of any generation that can be reliably assessed.”
​

Meanwhile 600 more blacks will die by the end of this day due to hypertension caused due to the stress of living with white racism. In one day, white racism will kill more people than died in Chicago last year.

Mindless Mike wants to talk about Pastor Brooks, But Pastor Smith, Johson, Williams and everybody else is trying to stop the white racism that's killing 5-10 times more blacks than gang violence.

Face the truth Mike. Because you're going to look at it until you can. You wanted to make a thread about black deaths. But black children are not the only ones dying and while that is sad and makes for spectacular race baiting, it doesn't happen as much as you try exaggerating. What I am presenting is more frequent and it ain't caused by drugs and gangs. It's caused because of racist whites like you.

Racism is killing black people. It’s sickening them, too.​

By Michelle A. Williams and
Jeffrey Sánchez

Michelle A. Williams is an epidemiologist and dean of the faculty at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Jeffrey Sánchez, a former Massachusetts state representative, is a lecturer at Harvard Chan.

“I can’t breathe.”

That was the one of the final pleas uttered by George Floyd last week before he was killed by police officers kneeling on his neck and back — the same plea cried out by Eric Garner before he died six years ago in a police chokehold. These words have become a rallying cry for protests across the nation.

To those of us in the public health community, they are also a visceral reminder of a reality we have come to know all too well: Racism is a public health crisis.

Nowhere is that reality more gut-wrenching and visible than in the police violence that kills black Americans at nearly three times the rate of white Americans. It is also apparent in the legacy of slavery and discrimination that persists in modern medicine and across the many social determinants of health.

Indeed, it is cruel and somewhat ironic that some are now pointing to “underlying health conditions” as a contributing factor in Floyd’s death, which has been ruled a homicide. That line of explanation, of course, is intended to deflect blame from the officers whose actions ended his life — and goes against what millions saw plain as day on video.

But it also illuminates another way in which racism is deadly. Across the country, black Americans suffer from higher rates of diabetes, hypertension, asthma and heart disease than white Americans. They are more likely to be obese and get insufficient sleep, which can contribute to such health issues. The role of racism in these underlying conditions cannot be denied.

A growing body of literature shows that social determinants — otherwise known as the conditions in which we’re born and in which we live, work and play — are key drivers of health inequities. For generations, communities of color have faced vast disparities in job opportunities, income and inherited family wealth. They are less likely to have housing security and access to quality schools, healthy food and green spaces. All these factors undoubtedly undermine mental and physical well-being.

In addition to the consequences of structural racism, it is well-documented that racism itself is hard on a person’s health. Chronic stress caused by discrimination can trigger a cascade of adverse health outcomes, from high blood pressure and heart disease to immunodeficiency and accelerated aging.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...004cc8-a681-11ea-b619-3f9133bbb482_story.html

So keep posting your disingenuous claim of concern about dead black children you want to see grow into black adults living with the racism produced by sorry motherfuckers like you, who then die at 45 from a stroke or heart attack due to the years of stress caused by your racism.
