Then Let Us Have That Conversation

13. “Whereas President Bill Clinton also acknowledged the deep-seated problems caused by the continuing legacy of racism against African-Americans that began with slavery when he initiated a national dialogue about race;

14. Whereas a genuine apology is an important and necessary first step in the process of racial reconciliation;  

15. Whereas an apology for centuries of brutal dehumanization and injustices cannot erase the past, but confession of the wrongs committed can speed racial healing and reconciliation and help Americans confront the ghosts of their past” (The Official, 2008 Apology Resolution HR #194 (Simple) For Slavery and Jim Crowism)

Note: That’s white and black “ghosts”

One of the factors that we must discuss is that of willing immigrants and unwilling chattel slaves whom were brought here African chains, and forced to serve the former as living, human property for 245 years.

In order to receive racial and national healing with reconciliation of repairs for past “wounds” between white and black, i.e., willing immigrants and chattel slaves; including between black and black, i.e., unwilling chattel slaves and unwilling chattel slaves, as well as white and white, i.e., willing immigrant and willing immigrant, this civil, honest, objective conversation must be had NOW.

This is one of the primary intentions of “Matters of Black Lives” campaign of national identity awareness in this Republican Form of Government nation as the conversation will try the souls of all of us.

Actually, the term, “nation of immigrants is highly offensive to everything that America desires to be, in that it denies the very existence black citizens, whom are not of willing immigration heritage, but rather its “backbone” substantive backbone.

Note: “Chattel slave” means, LIVING HUMAN PROPERTY, of which black lives of the ancient, African-continental, slave trade heritage, were of such for 245 years (1619-1865)

Another telling fact is: Of the 402 years of such, black lives in America have been free from two (2) legislated enslavement, they being that of the 245 years of Chattel Slavery, followed by 99 years (1865-1964) of Black Codes-Jim Crowism, thereby a total of 244 years of “legal” bondage, leaving a mere 56 years of actual freedom.

These slavery years were a combination of the British Empire’s 13 colonies from 1619 and succeeded by the United States in July 2-4, 1776, when they/we were transferred from that Jurisdiction of England into this present one of the USA, particularly under the federal governments, Executive Branch, the President being the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces to enforce their/our super citizenship of the 1866-68 Civil Rights 14th Amendment Act (The Act) based on the Abraham Lincoln, January 1,1863, Emancipation Proclamation.
