communities culture hip hop improvement music opinion truth sunday march 25 2012 trayvon martin and american racism kevin powell trayvon martin the fatal history of american racism by kevin powell i am trayvon martin so are you and so is any human being who has ever felt cornered in a dark and desolate alley between life and death add the grim reality of skin color in america and you have the disastrous spectacle of 250lb george zimmerman 28 pursuing 140lb trayvon 17 until that man child is screaming help and then gasping for air after a bullet from zimmerman s 9mm handgun had punctured his chest a majority white gated community became on 26 february the makeshift mortuary for a black boy who will not get a chance to live to go to college with his exceptional high school grades to make something of his life trayvon s fatal act a mundane walk to the nearby convenience store to buy a can of iced tea and a bag of skittles this is what racism the american version of it means to black boys like trayvon to black men like me that we often don t stand a chance when it has been determined oftentimes by a single individual acting as judge and jury that we are criminals to be pursued confronted tackled and yes subdued to be shocked and awed into submission the police authorities in sanford florida where the shooting occurred are apparently so mired in racial prejudice and denial that george zimmerman at this writing still has not been arrested nearly a month after trayvon was killed in spite of zimmerman being told on 911 police dispatch audio not to follow trayvon martin in spite of zimmerman being charged in 2005 with resisting arrest with violence and battery on a police officer in spite of zimmerman calling the police 46 times since january 2011 in spite of zimmerman according to neighbors being fixated on bracketing young black males with criminality in spite of zimmerman being the subject of complaints from neighbors in his gated community due to his aggressive tactics in spite of the officer in charge of the crime scene also receiving criticism in 2010 when he initially failed to arrest a lieutenant s son who was videotaped attacking a homeless black man in spite of zimmerman violating major principles of the neighborhood watch manual the manual states it should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles in spite of zimmerman not being a member of a registered group which police were not aware of at the time of the incident and in spite of the sanford florida police failing to test zimmerman for drugs or alcohol a law enforcement expert told abc that zimmerman sounds intoxicated on the 911 tapes and that drug and alcohol testing is standard procedure in most homicide investigations finally what was a man like george zimmerman doing with a gun in the first place and will florida s very controversial stand your ground self defense law prevent zimmerman from ever being prosecuted especially as he and his lawyers are claiming he was protecting himself from harm finally does any of the above truly matter if the shooter has white skin and the victim s is brown we ve heard since president obama came into office that we suddenly miraculously live in a post racial america that there now is such a thing as post blackness try telling that to the families of trayvon martin or ramarley graham or sean bell or oscar grant or amadou diallo or emmett till or the scottsboro boys and numberless others in modern us history racism remains the greatest cancer of american society and has been since the founding of this nation by men who owned slaves you cannot slaughter and push from the land native americans enslave black people harass and marginalize asians latinos and jews and scapegoat immigrant white ethnics and arabs through your long and tumultuous history then wonder how the killing of trayvon martin could happen in the first place the former is the context for the latter we most of us have been socialized to fear and demonize difference the other trayvon s murder is of a piece with hysterical and overzealous anti immigration policies and new voter id laws that recall the days of segregation and harsh american racial apartheid left unchecked as george zimmerman has been left unchecked and you perpetuate this ugly national tragedy american racism is not merely a distortion of human psychology that teaches the george zimmermans of our nation to see trayvon martin as nothing more than a criminal it is also the debilitating disease that allows us on the one hand to denounce the alleged atrocities of kony in faraway africa we ve seen in that ubiquitous viral video and on the other to overlook the trayvon martins just as we ignore the routine stop and frisk harassment of legions of black and latino young males we are trapped in the stereotyping that saw my friend s son being told by his teacher in fairfax county virginia recently as he reciited a langston hughes poem that he needed to read it blacker the stereotyping that allows us to cheer loudly for the majority black college basketball teams during march madness yet won t permit us to pay attention to trayvon martin s parents clearly shattered pleading for some shred of justice the justice department s intervention is welcome if belated but it is american racism that constrains our leaders like president barack obama and attorney general eric holder from speak forcibly and publicly about this destructive cancer for fear of alienating regular folks if the president could call on sandra fluke considering the insult she d received from rush limbaugh we should be able to expect him to offer his condolences to martin s parents for the grievous injury they have received for the sake of trayvon martin and the trayvon martins who never had this sort of mass outcry something must be done but if we choose to turn our ears and hearts away from his parents and his community then trayvon martin s blood will be on the hands of this entire nation will we ignore that call for help as trayvon s went unheeded subscribe imanifoundation

family freedom humanity media opinion pop culture the african diaspora truth monday june 6 2011 harvard student says blacks genetically inferior by lavoisier cornerstone ladies and gentleman of grow the heck up i d like to introduce to you stephanie grace the third year harvard law student who recently came under fire for sending out a mass email emphatically asserting that black people were genetically inferior to white people while out at dinner with friends one evening a heated race debate ensued in which ms grace took the position that blacks were genetically inferior and less intelligent than whites after the dinner ms grace wanting to clarify her position sent out a mass email reaffirming her stance this email made its way to a member of the harvard black law student association hblsa and in turn made its way to the media here is the email in its entirety i absolutely do not rule out the possibility that african americans are on average genetically predisposed to be less intelligent i could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables we would see that they are in fact as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances the fact is some things are genetic african americans tend to have darker skin irish people are more likely to have red hair now on to the more controversial women tend to perform less well in math due at least in part to prenatal levels of testosterone which also account for variations in mathematics performance within genders this suggests to me that some part of intelligence is genetic just like identical twins raised apart tend to have very similar iqs and just like i think my babies will be geniuses and beautiful individuals whether i raise them or give them to an orphanage in nigeria i don t think it is that controversial of an opinion to say i think it is at least possible that african americans are less intelligent on a genetic level and i didn t mean to shy away from that opinion at dinner i also don t think that there are no cultural differences or that cultural differences are not likely the most important sources of disparate test scores statistically the measurable ones like income do account for some raw differences i would just like some scientific data to disprove the genetic position and it is often hard given difficult to quantify cultural aspects one example courtesy of randall kennedy is that some people based on crime statistics might think african americans are genetically more likely to be violent since income and other statistics cannot close the racial gap in the slavery era however the stereotype was of a docile childlike african american and they were in fact responsible for very little violence which was why the handful of rebellions seriously shook white people up obviously group wide rates of violence could not fluctuate so dramatically in ten generations if the cause was genetic and so although there are no quantifiable data currently available to explain away the racial discrepancy in violent crimes it must be some nongenetic cultural shift of course there are pro genetic counterarguments but if we assume we can control for all variables in the given time periods the form of the argument is compelling in conclusion i think it is bad science to disagree with a conclusion in your heart and then try unsuccessfully so far at least to find data that will confirm what you want to be true everyone wants someone to take 100 white infants and 100 african american ones and raise them in disney utopia and prove once and for all that we are all equal on every dimension or at least the really important ones like intelligence i am merely not 100 convinced that this is the case please don t pull a larry summers on me stephanie hey i never would have guessed it she looks like a nice enough girl to me wouldn t ya say i m being facetious of course but that s part of the reason that i posted this piece of news this woman isn t wearing a white sheet with a pointy hat and she s not from the backwoods of the south fighting for the right to fly a confederate flag down at the court house she graduated from princeton in 2007 with a degree in sociology is on the harvard law review and will soon be headed to california for federal clerkship with ninth circuit judge alex kozinski who had to recuse himself because he caught an obscenity case for having cow porn on his personal website alrightythen i digress oh but she s only one person right gthu sure a few people think like that but it s not really that prevalent right wrong in october of 2007 world renowned molecular biologist and nobel prize james watson who co discovered dna and the double helix structure also asserted a similar belief the 79 year old geneticist said he was inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa because all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours whereas all the testing says not really he said he hoped that everyone was equal but countered that people who have to deal with black employees find this not true this is the guy that discovered that twisty dna thingy see most racists don t think that their racists they just think that what they believe about other people is the truth i tell you one thing though for anyone who s not white and not a christian evolution shouldn t even be something you consider as a possibility because according to those that make the science everything they see tells them that you re inferior the proof of your value as human being is only found in god and who he says you are in his word and for my white brothers and sisters who are christians i pray that god would break your heart for racism and those who are greatly hurt by it not just some ethiopian kid on a commercial that needs food but for racism itself that you would begin to be as outraged and offended by it just as much as any other evil see america and satan has spent much of its time convincing black people and other races but especially the former slaves who built this country through legislation media propaganda etc that they are inferior so while its not an excuse many of us are just playing out the only role that many in america feel is the only one that we are able to just ask the academy they only seem to only give out oscars to black people for playing thugs denzel washington in training day whores halle berry in monsters ball and pimps three 6 mafia for it s hard out here for a pimp can you understand to some degree why people were so excited about a black president sheesh and as for homegirl ms stephanie grace she needs to really grow the heck up for a related topic also check out the review on the book darwin s plantation
