Se Racism is on the forefront By Carla Batchelor WCnewsmagazine The effects of Hurricane Katrina have been more than economical; the hurricane has had major social effects for this country. With the levels of poverty that existed in New Orleans now getting national air time, people can no longer turn away from what is really going on. Kamau Kambon, an advocate for racial genocide, is now in the national spot light. On October 14, 2005, Kambon was part of CSPANs Black Media Forum: The Image of Black Americans in the Mainstream Media. In this three hour televised event, Kambon had the chance to speak, informing the audience that the solution to the problems faced by many blacks is the extermination of white people off the face of the planet. Kambon had been a visiting professor at NC State since 2003. His three-hour course last spring, Africana Studies 241, is described by the university as, Second in a two semester sequence in the interdisciplinary study of sub-Saharan Africa, its arts, culture, and people and the African-American experience. After the Kambons speech, the University issued a statement, Kambon sporadically taught at NC State on an as-needed basis. He has not been employed by the university since June 30, 2005. The remarks recently attributed to one of our former employees do not in any way represent the values and standards of the university. This type of speech is counter to any reasoned discussion on the issue of race relations, and is absolutely unacceptable in the NC State community. In addition to once teaching at NC State, Kambon has also written three books, one entitled, Black Guerrilla Warfare in Amerika: A Peoples Manual and Manifesto on Resistance and Survival : The Plan. He sincerely believes that white citizens are trying to slowly kill their African American citizens through the use of Retina scans, racial profiling, DNA banks, and theyre monitoring our people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea. On the other end of the racial spectrum, Primetime aired a segment about thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede. These young ladies are Rosa Parks: activist, leader, By Jennifer Scism * WCnewsmagazine There are certain names from history that all Americans recognize as familiar: Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and the list goes on and on. Rosa Parks is another infamous individual that most Americans know something about. Parks is known for her contribution to the American Civil Rights Movement and her involvement in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the event that historians traditionally label as the spark that ignited the famous Movement. In 1943, Parks joined the Montgomery chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Being the only woman present during the beginning stages of this chapter, Parks was nominated secretary under E.D. Nixon, the President. I was the only woman there, and they needed a secretary, and | was too timid to Say no, stated Parks when asked about her position. Her activism started years before the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Rosa Parks was not the first person to be arrested in Montgomery for refusing to give a bus seat to a white person. Claudette Colvin, a fifteen year old student at Booker T. Washington High School in Montgomery, had refused to give up her seat. She was arrested, and the NAACP chose to investigate her case. Colvin was an active member of the Montgomery NAACP's Youth Council. In fact, Rosa Parks was a mentor to Colvin. Soon after Colvins arrest, the NAACP refused to represent her. Colvin was impregnated by a man who was much older than her. The NAACP, especially E.D. Nixon, was afraid to represent her because of this circumstance. They were afraid her pregnancy would be manipulated by the judicial system and would thus result in a negative outcome. There are other theories as to why the NAACP chose not to represent Colvin. She was a feisty young girl and had the tendency to revert from being a lady in her language. She also was not a middle class citizen. Some say the members of the NAACP did not want to represent her because of this. Most of the members of this organization were average to upper middle class citizens. 19 WCnewsmagazine known as Prussian Blue, a white nationalist singing group, who have performed before all white-crowds since they were nine years old. Their parents began the indoctrination of these beliefs since their birth. Home schooling Lamb and Lynx is how their parents share their own unique perspectives on history. Their grandfather takes it to a whole other level with the Nazi swastika. According to Primetime, It appears on his belt buckle, on the side of his pick-up truck and hes even registered it as his cattle brand with the Bureau of Livestock Identification. The music, which is the effect of their upbringing, in the past has been used to draw crowds. David Duke, a former presidential candidate, former KKK grand wizard and white supremacist, regularly uses the twins to draw crowds at white nationalist events. It may sound like these girls of Prussian Blue and the White Nationalism Movement are successful, but most Americans do not accept their racist message. Last month, the girls were scheduled to perform at their local county fair in Bakersville, CA, but when members of the community protested, the girls were taken off the line up. Wanting to spread their message to more people, these girls even went down to the Gulf coast to help white hurricane victims. Their plan was to hand out donations with attached pamphlets to needy members of the community. After a day of trying, most of their donations were dumped at a local shop that sells Confederate memorabilia. While Kamau Kambon and Prussian Blue are extremists when it comes to their beliefs, the national media outlets are picking up their stories and spreading their message of hate even further. Our country, which already has many internal and external battles, does not need any more messages of hate! The citizens of this country should now open up their eyes to the problems at hand and do whatever they can to benefit their neighbor, not try to bring them down with words of hate and violence! never forgotten Mrs. Parks stated, People always say that | didnt give up my seat because | was tired, but that isnt true. | was not tired physically, or no more tired than | usually was at the end of a working day. | was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. | was forty-two. No, the only tired | was, was tired of giving in. Parks was not sitting in the white only section of the bus when she was arrested. She was seated in the colored section. When the white section became full, it was assumed that African Americans would _ stand and give their seat to a white person boarding the bus. This is what Parks refused to do. When he saw me still sitting, he asked if | was going to stand up and | said, No, I'm not. And he said, Well, if you dont stand up, Im going to have to call the police and have you arrested. | said, You may do that. With those simple words, Parks ignited a huge fire in Montgomery on December 1, 1955. While this was not the first action of African Americans resisting the laws of Jim Crow, the simple action of her refusal to stand, was a significant action that created a large support for the revolution of the era. Other events, such as the Emmett Till case, caught the attention of the masses and the media prior to the Montgomery situation. In fact, approximately 50,000 people attended Emmett Tills funeral in September of 1955, attracting the media and a large group of potential activists. Rosa Parks body was placed in the Capitol Rotunda. She was the second African American, the first woman, and the only American non- government official, to have this type of memorial. Parks also lay in repose at St. Paul AME Church of Montgomery and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan. Her funeral was at the Greater Grace Temple Church in Detroit. Parks, no matter the circumstances, will always be remembered as the mother of the American Civil Rights Movement. Her actions, although simple in nature, took an enormous amount of courage and were fundamental steps in the achievement of equality in our nation.
