Black People... A Cyber Reading - Dr. King's Burning House



“I sit here deeply concerned that I suspect 
we're leading our nation on an integration trip 
that has us integrating into a burning house.” 
Dr. Martin Luther King to Harry Belafonte

"I don't think we quite understood 
how prophetic that remark was."
Harry Belafonte to Congressional Black Caucus 9/22/05

BPATPIWH - Page 133

Today's dedication of Dr. King's Memorial was profound. I found myself as an old gray haired lady still screaming, JOBS NOT JAILS.  The only difference is the president is Black, like he was at least five times before President Obama.  

Since we've all been integrated into a burning house, it's best to focus on putting out the fire. One of the flames is war, another is lies told as truth, like the federal reserve is federal (NOT). Folks would not be acting like fools before God if they understood their history, what is the mission of life, their personal mission. Hint: Love & Truth.

We're having a cyber reading on 11/11/11 - 11/13/11 of the book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY by Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA, Historian, Humanitarian and Honorary African Chief consisting of many souls, like a spoken word choir. 

If you would like to participate in the reading claim your free copy of the ebook, by going to http://www.tinyurl.com/bpatpiwh  Paperbacks are for sale and available on amazon. The work is a breathtaking journey through many Black history highlights with a lot of supporting documentation, like the extensive bibliography copied at the end of this article.

The initial call is for folks who want to upload sub-sections of the book to do so to YouTube and send the links to bpatpiwh - gmail by November 5, 2011.  Some will be included in the on line reading. If participating artists do not yet have amazon associates accounts, get one and sell the books and other products, like computers, on top of videos. Promote via social media (spin the Twitter). 

Details are still being worked out so check back for more information. 

This dialogue is being opened with an off book piece that reflects where we are now, and how far we have to travel just to break even.  Black history is human history so this is a story about all of us, wherever we are in or out of the matrix.

One more note on why this reading is important that was touched on earlier. When I see the Jerry Springer show, it makes me sad after I stop laughing. No way folks could act like that if they understood their history.  Yet, those actions are a clue of how far we still have to go in human evolution.  Truth can set us free.

If you wonder how far Black people have progressed since the early 1960's in the United States, the days when Dr. King strode across the planet with his dream, I urge you to read the article below by Charles E. Richardson BACK WHEN WE WERE NEGROES. My father sent it to me. In a million posts, I could not explain the need to create a choir of readers on line, presented in order, of the excellent research found in Dr. Vaughn's book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY

Let me know what you think.

There was a time until the early 1960s when the terms to describe those of African decent, like me -- African-American or Black or Afro-American -- were almost unheard of.

I remember a distinct conversation with a friend discussing descriptive terms for ourselves in 1963 or ’64.  The term “black” was just coming into vogue and he didn’t like it one bit.  “Call me a Negro,” he said, “but don’t call me black.”

Now, the word “Negro” (publications used a lower case “n”) has almost become a pejorative, so I was a little surprised when my pastor, the Rev. Willie Reid, used it during Thursday’s revival.  “Back when we were Negroes,” he said, and listed several things that were different about black life in America back then.

That got me to thinking.  Back when we were Negroes in the 1950s, “only 9 percent of black families with children were headed by a single parent,” according to “The Black Family: 40 Years of Lies” by Kay Hymowitz.  “Black children had a 52 percent chance of living with both their biological parents until age 17.  In 1959, “only 2 percent of black children were reared in households in which the mother never married.”  But now that we’re African-Americans, according to Hymowitz, those odds of living with both parents had “dwindled to a mere 6 percent” by the mid-1980s.  And check this, in Bibb County, more than 70 percent of the births in the African-American community are to single mothers.

Back when we were Negroes and still fighting in many parts of the country for the right to vote, we couldn’t wait for the polls to open.  We knew our friends, family and acquaintances had died getting us the ballot.  Dogs and fire hoses were used to keep us away and still we came.  But now that we’re African-Americans, in a city of 47,000 registered -- predominately black voters -- more than 30,000 didn’t show up at the polls July 19.

Back when we were Negroes, we had names like Joshua, Aaron, Paul, Esther, Melba, Cynthia and Ida.  Now that we are African Americans, our names are bastardized versions of alcohol from Chivas to Tequila to C(S)hardonney.  And chances the names have an unusual spelling.

Back when we were Negroes, according to the Trust For America’s Health’s “F as in Fat,” report, “only four states had diabetes rates above 6 percent. ... The hypertension rates in 37 states about 20 years ago were more than 20 percent.”

Now that we’re African-Americans, that report shows, “every state has a hypertension rate of more than 20 percent, with nine more than 30 percent.  Forty-three states have diabetes rates of more than 7 percent, and 32 have rates above 8 percent.  Adult obesity rates for blacks topped 40 percent in 15 states, 35 percent in 35 states and 30 percent in 42 states and Washington, D.C.

Back when we were Negroes, the one-room church was the community center that everyone used.  Now that we’re African-Americans, our churches have lavish -- compared to back-in-the-day churches -- community centers that usually sit empty because the last thing the new church wants to do is invite the community in.

Back when we were Negroes, we didn’t have to be convinced that education was the key that opened the lock of success, but now that we’re African-Americans, more than 50 percent of our children fail to graduate high school.  In Bibb County last year, the system had a dropout rate of 53.4 percent.

Back when we were Negroes, the last thing a young woman wanted to look like was a harlot and a young man a thug, but now that we’re African-Americans, many of our young girls dress like hootchie mamas and our young boys imitate penitentiary custom and wear their pants below the butt line.

If I could reverse all of the above by trading the term “African-American” for “Negro,” what do you think I’d do?
