Fw: Tell DMX: don't let Zimmerman keep victimizing Trayvon

 
 
ednesday — had his life not been violently cut short by George Zimmerman — Trayvon Martin would have celebrated his 19th birthday.
On what would have been Trayvon's 19th birthday, George Zimmerman inked a deal to profit from his murder.

Trayvon Martin memorial

Demand cancellation of Zimmerman's "celebrity" boxing match now:

Take Action

Dear Friend,

On Wednesday — had his life not been violently cut short by George Zimmerman — Trayvon Martin would have celebrated his 19th birthday. Instead, the day was marked by a grotesque new low in the killer's continuing efforts to capitalize on his infamy: the announcement that Zimmerman will face rapper DMX in a pay-per-view, "celebrity" boxing match to be broadcast online.1

Fight promoter and professional con man Damon Feldman is enabling Zimmerman to further victimize a dead young Black man for personal gain, cynically declaring that this exploitative commercial spectacle will substitute as "justice" for Trayvon.2 Real justice was denied by Florida's gun-lobby-written "Shoot First" law and broken court system3 — and we do not honor Trayvon's memory with more violence.

We certainly don't honor his memory by feeding into the stereotype of Black men as violent and belligerent that empowered George Zimmerman to take Trayvon's life without consequence.

The fight's details are set to be announced at a press conference this coming Wednesday, but DMX hasn't finalized his contract and corporate sponsors have yet to sign on. Please join us in urging DMX to do the right thing and pull out of this shameful stunt now.

Feldman, who lost his promoter's license — and was banned from promoting fights in his native Pennsylvania after admitting to court investigators that 95 percent of his matches were rigged4,5 — stands to profit handsomely from a fake fight designed to make money off anti-Black sentiment as much as from those of us outraged by Zimmerman's murder acquittal.

And Zimmerman's bizarre eagerness to fight a Black man, the more high-profile the better — in a fit of dissociation, Zimmerman announced on Monday he'd like to fight Kanye West because he "attack[s] defenseless people"6makes a mockery of his criminal defense claim that he feared for his life in a struggle with an unarmed 17-year-old boy. Indulging Zimmerman in his monstrous fantasy recreation of that night — at 5'11", DMX is ironically Trayvon's exact height, of which Zimmerman's defense team made significant issue at trial7 — serves no actual purpose beyond driving money and attention to a violent sociopath and his bottom-feeder promoter.

Rather than giving Zimmerman and his legions of racist supporters what they want, let's honor Trayvon's memory — and prevent future tragedies like his — by demanding a justice system that values and protects Black lives. Let's rid this nation of anti-Black policies like Shoot First and Stop-and-Frisk, and demand better of a media industry that demonizes Black men and boys, perpetuating the dangerous perception by people like George Zimmerman that violence against us is acceptable and necessary.8

Please take a moment to let DMX — and anyone else who might consider stepping in to fill his shoes — know that we're looking to him to do the right thing for all the other Trayvons in our lives that we can't bear to lose. Urge DMX to cancel the fight now.

Thanks and Peace,

Fw: [SOA~2013] Re: The Marcus Garvey Institutes, Weekly Telephone Conference Calls

On Saturday, January 11, 2014 10:58 AM, Shaka Barak <shakabarak1@yahoo.com> wrote:
The Marcus Garvey Institutes
First Weekly Telephone Conference a Success
The Marcus Garvey Institute (MGI) hosted a telephone conference discussion on "Jim Crow, a System of White Supremacy" on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at 8:00pm cst. MGI's President, Shaka Barak taught, that when the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA & ACL) was founded by the Jamaican, Caribbean born, Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, (born August 17, 1887-died June 10, 1940) 100 years ago in the year 1914, the major systems of white supremacy called Jim Crow was firmly in place. Shaka revisited Jim Crow in America, after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 13th Amendment, 1863 and 1865 respectively, to show for the next 90 years, until the 1950's, Jim Crow, kept African people living as one and in fear. He looked at anti-Africanism and terrorism such lynching, floggings, murder, and how these barbaric act's by whites, were coupled with laws enforcing "separate but not equal," created conditions of semi or modified slavery. To establish unity, pride, love, charity, economics, self-reliance and political independence, in Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, etc.. Marcus Garvey and the UNIA & ACL built Universal African Nationalism, the first mass movement in America, and racial consciousness worldwide.
The Mistress of Ceremonies for the conference was Garnet Hall, who is also the MC for the National Business Alliance Network's weekly conferences, and a member of the MGI. Prayer was by Dr. Gale Frazier, Director of the Evangelical Christian School, that has been the first elementary school to show the MGI's "Marcus Garvey Exhibit," the Black communities, largest collection of enlarged photo's, and documents on the UNIA & ACL. The overview of the 21 years of history, and mission of the MGI, was given by its secretary, and co-founder Qamar M. Mateen-Barak, wife of the President. The introduction of Shaka Barak was by, Washington, DC. based, Mwariama Kamau, International Organizer and historian of the UNIA & ACL, under the Hon. Cleo Miller, and a member of the MGI. In the one-hour conference, the listeners learned a lot, and shared a lot. The UNIA & ACL, # 429 President Clyde Banks, Maceo Thomas, and others, learned about Jim Crow, and Marcus Garvey's response to it. The listeners also net worked with each other, and exchanged contact information.
The MGI, being a research organization means that the next conference promises to be just as informative, as the MGI president Shaka Barak will discuss " Slavery, a System of White Supremacy." The call in number is 605-562-3000, Pin 1052837 #. We will begin Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 8:00pm Central Standard Time.

    Health Department Issues Report On Influenza Trends Showing One-Third of Children under Five Did Not Receive an Influenza Vaccine in the Past Year

    As influenza activity continues to increase in New York City, the Health Department reminds New Yorkers it is not too late to get vaccinated

    Influenza The Health Department released a new report today about influenza and pneumonia, which is the third leading cause of death in New York City, responsible for as many as 3,000 deaths each year. New York City vaccination levels are rising but remain below the goal outlined by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Only 65% of New York City children aged 6 to 59 months received an influenza vaccination in the past year, an increase from 59% in the 2011-12 influenza season, but well below the national goal of 80%.

    Fw: Reminder: Gardasil is not to be trusted

     
     
     
    We've covered this story before, but
    memories - including mine - fade
    with time.
     
    ....And this is far too important to ever
    forget.
     
    If someone says your kids or grandkids
    must be injected with the "anti-cancer"
    vaccine Gardasil just say "NO."
     
    The sciences is completely bogus and
    the harm this injection has caused is
    very real.
