Thanks to you and to ALL of the blogs that are participating in the “I Am A Community Organizer” day of blogging for justice on Monday, September 8, 2008!

What a great logo that is above! We’re going to post that logo over at the Afrosphere Action Alert blog, and I hope it encourages more AfroSpear and afrosphere bloggers to post the Afrosphere Action Alerts blog widget, so that all the crucial actions that are announced are automatically visible at blogs across the AfroSpear and afrosphere.

CityzenJane ’s last blog post..Karl Rove - Election Rigger - Time to Prosecute

Not sure if anyone here is interested in this conversation, but since it refers to this ‘Community Organizer’ blog and issues related hereto, I’m posting it as a matter of transparency and disclosure; for anyone whose interested in some radical honesty conversation, or not.

——

The toxic passive aggressive sycophantic hypocrisy of black (on black) racism by liberal progressive ‘Africanist community organizer’ black activists.

“Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.”
~ Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin ~

Blacklooks is a blog started by Sokari Ekine “primarily focusing on anything to do with African women – a very broad term for a whole continent” addressing human rights issues, ‘challenging stereotypes and discussing gender, sexuality and racism and how these are constructed and manipulated by culture.’

According to Ms. Ekine, these “are areas that can make people feel uncomfortable because they reach to our core, revealing the hidden truths deep within ourselves, because talking about racism, ethnicity and sexuality can be threatening, because they require people to consider the possibility that they may have racist or homophobic feelings and attitudes.”

Furthermore Ms. Ekine views the world as moving further and further to the right, and she wants to write from a radical and progressive standpoint challenging not only the right but also the liberal community. Black Looks contributors are ‘all progressive Africanists and activists with a strong belief in the power of the pen to bring about change.’

With this in mind Ms. Ekine wrote a blog tagged ‘Assault on Dissent’, I am a Community Organizer, as part of Slant Truth and the Obama Democratic ‘I am a Community Organizer’ bloggers in support of ‘the great work community organizers do.’

Briefly, Ms. Ekine’s blog focused on the vigils that have been held at various Brazilian Embassies calling for the safe return of the abducted Haitian human rights activist Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, and protesting Brazil’s failure to lead the UN Stabilization for Haiti mission (MINUSTAH). Ms. Ekine concluded with a quote from the Black British poet Benjamin Zephaniah criticising the UN, for his recent loss of faith in it’s work, and urging all caring people to shout Lovinsky’s name out loud at every opportunity.

I had originally visited Black Looks, following an eco-food blog post, Biofuels take over farmland, which documented how multinationals were rushing in to invest in Eastern and Southern Africa’s farmland, to produce biofuels. Local farming communities are being promised jobs, schools etc., and the realities with virtual certainty shall be far different, considering geopolitical population policy issues in light of peak oil and peak food and consequent fall in food production issues, which necessitates an urgent need for either a serious reduction in birthrates, or in the absence thereof, a serious increase in death rates.

Accordingly I responded with:

All part of the Committee of 300 plan Sokari:

“At least 4 billion “useless eaters” shall be eliminated by the year 2050 by means of limited wars, organized epidemics of fatal rapid-acting diseases and starvation.”

As Henry Kissinger said: ‘If you control the oil you control the country; if you control the food, you control the population.’

By the time the ‘useless eaters’ wake up — it will probably be too late.

Subsequent to posting my response, I noticed the ‘I am a Community Organizer’ post, and went to have a look. In response thereto, I posted:

Sad.

Benjamin Zephaniah unfortunately either won’t go to the heart of the matter; and speak up on root cause issues; or he has yet to confront his denial. Many ‘community organizers’ are yet to face these realities. Perhaps they shall one day wake up, and listen to those who have been where they are now, and if so, real change can occur.

What is real change? FTW said it best:

“From FTW’s perspective, as we have said so consistently, until we change the way money works, solutions to Peak Oil, food shortages, collapse and sustainability remain unreachable from a national or cultural level because it is simply more profitable to let people die and accelerate collapse through excessive consumption than it is to behave like a species that wishes to survive.

Like most who decide that something is really wrong and said, “I’m going to do something about this”, Aaron Russo has pulled one worm out of the can and is slowly realizing, even now, that with one worm, you get all the rest of its cousins, aunts, nieces, nephews and parents.”

Die-off is here, like a frog in a warm bowl of water, and it’s slowly being heated up, and by the time most wake up, they will be ready for the blood sucking parasites.

And subsequently the following exchange of comments occurred between myself and Ms. Ekine:
