America's white supremacists think the lies that create historical myths shield them from their oppression past. But what was done in the darkest recesses of racism and hate eventually comes to light. I think Marcus Garvey, once said that the sad truth revealed may take 200 years or more to come to light, but eventually, history will unmask the stained history that supposed esteemed families attempted to hide. The facts will be uncovered because of our persistence to reveal the wrongdoers and now with available digital technology and organizations assisting our communities with those facts, we will unmask your crimes of racial abuse. Yesterday, Johns Hopkins supposedly a highly regarded abolitionist was revealed to be a slave-owning white bigot. His family attempted in 1922 to paint a glorified picture of Johns Hopkins but that picture was only a myth. Listen as I read that article that appeared in yesterday's Baltimore Sun, Johns Hopkins was the founder of both Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. Not only did Hopkins own slaves he also profited in the transaction of slavery.

What real chance do you truly have to survive? Well, 51 years ago the forces of oppression converged on an Apartment in Chicago with the sole intention of assassinating Fred Hampton and Mark Clark. They both had been targeted by the highest political and police forces of this nation. The tactics used to put these two African American men in the killing zone included the use of African American infiltrators disguised as Black Panther Party supporters who sold out race for the right to be acceptable to white oppressors. Today, I remember the incident that lead to these remarkable black men’s death on that awful day. We should never forget that the war on our race has has always been fought on the land of our ancestors birth.
