*Obama, the Sean Bell Verdict: White Supremacist Overkill*

“Three detectives were found not guilty Friday morning on all charges
in the shooting death of Sean Bell, who died in a hail of 50 police
bullets outside a club in Jamaica, Queens. Justice Arthur J. Cooperman,
who delivered the verdict, said many of the prosecution’s witnesses,
including Mr. Bell’s friends and the two wounded victims, were simply
not believable. “At times, the testimony of those witnesses just didn’t
make sense,” he said. His verdict prompted several supporters of Mr.
Bell to storm out of the courtroom, and screams could be heard in the
hallway moments later. The three detectives — Gescard F. Isnora, Michael
Oliver and Marc Cooper — were escorted out of a side doorway. Outside, a
crowd gathered behind police barricades, occasionally shouting, amid a
veritable sea of police officers.” /3 Detectives Acquitted in Bell
Shooting

This has been a rough week for us psychologically. On Tuesday the
Clinton’s pulled off their mugging of Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania
primary in broad daylight using obviously racist overtones and Orwellian
illogic to paint Obama as an unpatriotic, un-AmeriKKKan elitist. Today a
New York Judge named Arthur J Cooperman ruled the three New York City
detectives who shot and killed Sean Bell, an unarmed innocent Black man,
were not guilty of all charges saying the prosecution failed to prove
their case. Once again police walk after shooting an unarmed Blackman,
this time fifty times!

Why are we surprised at this? Black life has always been deemed “less
than” in AmeriKKKa, which is exactly the message the Clintons have been
openly saying and implying about Barack Obama as a candidate. While I
have no delusions Barack Obama will effectuate any meaningful changes in
AmeriKKKa core values or policies if he’s elected president,
nevertheless is has been quite educational watching the Clinton faction
(with help from Karl Rove and his pals) of the plutocratic puppets work
their white magic on the masses. The Clinton campaign successfully
demonized Obama and in the words of one of their supporters “punked him”
with the willing assistance of the mainstream media. The race for the
Democratic nomination has gotten progressively uglier as the Clintons
fell behind in delegates and popular vote count. In utter desperation
the Clintons and the corporate media resorted to playing the tried and
true “race card”. They first attempted to link Obama to Minister
Farrakhan, but that failed. Next they dragged out videos of Reverend
Jeremiah Wright’s sermons, took snippets of his speeches out of context,
played them over and over and tied them to Obama. Their strategy was to
paint Obama as un-AmeriKKKan, suggesting both Wright and by extension
Obama were at least conspiracy believing kooks and at worst unpatriotic
terrorist sympathizers. Working in collusion with the corporate media
(the last “debate” between Obama and Clinton is a classic example) they
bum rushed Obama, effectively tarred and feathered him in the media
undermining his carefully crafted nonthreatening “Good Negro” image.
Usually a news cycle around a controversial issue lasts about two weeks
unless the corporate media wants to do a psychological-operation (mind
game) on the masses. If it is part of a psy- op propaganda campaign, it
is prolonged and becomes a protracted melodramatic circus played out in
the mass media. The Clintons and the media have been dragging the Wright
thing out for months using a “Chinese water torture method” the steady
media drip about Wright’s bigotry and Obama’s unpreparedness. This is
not just a Clinton thing, the Republicans are in on it too. Karl Rove
and other Republican strategists, have joined the fray ganging up on
Obama in a tag team approach. Rove the Doctor of spin and master of
deceit for the Bu$h propaganda machine wrote an Op-Ed piece in the Wall
Street Journal’s Thursday’s edition where he implied Obama wasn’t tough
enough and questioned if Obama was ready for what Rove called “Prime
Time”. What these folks are saying not so subtlety is Obama, a
half-Black man, is not “good enough”, not strong enough not one of them
enough to lead white folks or be in charge of the Euro-AmeriKKKan
financial neo-colonial empire.

What Judge Cooperman said by his decision today is, Black life isn’t
worth spittle even when it is snuffed out by non-white police officers.
In 2008 are we still surprised and shocked by a verdict like this? We
would not be if we fully comprehended the reality human beings are
creatures of habit. Our individual behavioral patterns and proclivities
are called habits, the long term repetitive patterns of our family
members and neighbors are called folkways, the habits of the larger
society are called mores, customs, traditions and culture. The history
and culture of AmeriKKKa is one of unrepentant violence towards people
of color, virulent racism and state sanctioned oppression. This state
sanctioned oppression was succinctly articulated in 1856 by Roger Taney
the US Supreme Court Justice who in his infamous opinion in the Dred
Scott case wrote “a black man has no rights (obviously not even the
right to life) a white person is bound to respect.” This long held
belief and value is the obvious thrust behind the Clinton’s campaign
strategy against Barack Obama and the underlying attitude behind Judge
Cooperman’s verdict today.

Our esteemed ancestor Dr Bobby Wright the brilliant psychiatrist who
helped us fathom the depths of white pathology in his classic work /*The
Psychopathic Racial Personality*/ said, “This presentation is based upon
a very simple premise; namely, that in their relationship with the Black
race, Europeans (Whites) are psychopaths and their behavior reflects an
underlying biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their
evolutionary history. The psychopath is an individual who is constantly
in conflict with other persons and groups. He is unable to experience
guilt, is completely selfish and callous and has a total disregard for
the rights of others. This premise is supported by overwhelming
scientific evidence ... One of he best methods that can be used to
measure the psychopathic traits of the White race is by observing and
analyzing their universal overt behaviors and attitudes toward Blacks.”

We are witnessing first hand, in real time the very examples Dr Wright
articulated in his essay. We’re observing the painful dynamics in the
relationship between whites and Blacks in AmeriKKKa as exemplified by
the treatment of Barack Obama and adding insult to injury the verdict in
the Sean Bell killing. I could add: the Bu$h administration’s callous
treatment of the Blacks in New Orleans, the rising prison industrial
complex, deliberate high unemployment and other relevant socio-economic
indicators but by now you get my drift. The question is, given this
clear indication how the white power structure really feels about us,
what are we going to do to strengthen, protect and save ourselves?

Right on, Bro. Junious!! And of course we can add to this inglorious week the parole denial of the MOVE women and, insodoing, the anticipated denial of the MOVE men as well, who they have all deemed as subhuman n******s who can rot in their hells!!!

[JRSWRITER]

Of course the denial of parole for the Move Sistahs is a continuation of the US government's legacy of COINTELPRO counter-insurgency meant to send a clear message, conscious, uncompromising, liberation minded Africans in AmeriKKKa must be intimidated, killed and/or incarcerated to keep the rest of the sheep cowering in fear and mindlessly obedient to the New World Order. Stay strong!
