Dear Carl, Frank and others, I hope you are well. Frankly, this story
reflects in intensest terms the longly dissonant racial crisis in
America. Despite who started it, each team chanted negatively at his
rival. The problem, however, America is incessantly depicted as the
invincible figure. Allegedly, it's the ultimate paragon of racial
equality and integration. While factually what happens now has direct
affiliation to the past, the wall, the government shutdown, the
immigration, all of that is just another replenishment of America's
ancient crises. Be that as it may, there are many fraudsters who're
willing to counterfeitly promote the numerous prerogatives of being
greencard bearer. It's not so easy to deceive outlanders now. The
world saw what Kentuckians did and we also bore witness to how their
black counterparts responded. Both were tremendously uncivil and
disrespectful. The white versus black conflict is as old as the United
States. Abraham Lincoln emancipated slaves. Nevertheless, he
unfortunately delt with the symptom and disposed the disease. Slavery
is the symptom and racial disparity is the disease. The white in many
instances disdains the black. He somewhat disparages him.
Consequently, the latter reacts in a substantially rebellious manner.
He's malcontented because he perceives he's maltreated. This trouble
is based on vicious cycle ever since. Thereof, due to white dominance,
black movements have emerged. Well, take for instance, a cult element
called the nation of Islam. This is a group of black Americans who
advocate independence for themselves and falsely claim Islam is a
religion for only those who have darker skin. This is demonstratively
fallacious. Malcolm X was affiliated with them. After he went to Haj,
he abandoned the group. He learned that Islam professes racial
equality and it enjoins human fraternity. A pastor of Jefferson
Baptist Church prejudiciously presumed I am attempting to imitate one
of their leaders called Louis Farrakhan in my writing style. He
assumed so just because, he noticed I am Muslim, named Mustafa and I
am from Egypt. I responded to him, that I am as white as snow can be.
Unless, that is not the motive of my pride. I am proud of being
Muslim. I do not base my judgement on complexion. The nation's capitol
faces a major chaos with the government's continuous impasse. In my
humble opinion though, if America doesn't take the racial
discrimination crisis so serious, it'll be the factor by which the
nation will ultimately be fractioned. I do not call white or black
Americans guilty. Both are mutually indicted. I never heard anywhere
in the world about Churches or Masjids for black congregants and vice
versa. America's longly unresolved racial crisis has been resembled in
even houses of worship. This is insane and morally unacceptable.
America isn't the ideal place of free expression and racial equality
as it's falsely promoted to us. The rhetoric currently exercised by
its president and many of his cabinet's staff reflect in the clearest
way possible what America is and what it stands for. Yes, I knew this
insolent behaviour is declined by many. But unfortunately, the vast
majority doesn't seem to have problem with this immensely impudent
conduct. The culture seems to breathe discrimination in its various
phases. It scarcely respires verbally promoted but never enforced
human rights tenets. If you do not practice what you preach, you will
basically lose integrity. This is exactly the reputation of the United
States now as we speak. Its allegedly long chanted but never enforced
racial equality principles are disreputable worldwide. Therefore, I
call all sensible individuals to find a way to gather themselves to
advocate for illegalising racial discrimination in any manner
throughout the country. If a crime has no capital punishment in the
law, the proposal is just useless. This ambition may demand years of
relentless advocacy and perseverance to be eventually reached. People
must base their assessment of others on excellence and common decorum.
Racial favoritism shouldn't be tolerated and a critically legal action
must be instantly proceeded toward the offender. Procedurally, there
is no specific penalty to be directly imposed on those who
deliberately commit racial disparity offences. This couldn't last in a
nation plumes itself for being allegedly the pioneer of human rights
principles worldwide. As long as we hear white versus black, the
problem remains. I hope I am not bashed because I dared to criticise
Her Majesty, the United States of America. I apologise for this
thorough but crucial response. I needed to speak in details about the
cultural roots of this longly unsolved prob. Mustafa

Dear Frank and List Members:
You and I heard quite different accounts of the events involved here.
It
is my understanding that the catholic school students were on a trip to
D.
C. and most were wearing caps with a pro-trump initials which drew the
attention demonstrators in the area and that is was the demonstrators and
a
few under the influence who aggressively challenged the students. The
mainstream reporters initially put the same spin on this, which is
reflected
in your statement. It appears that school age children are targets of
the
media, if they dare to wear a cap with, MAGa on their caps.
These are trying times and the "mainstream" media are a large part of
the
problem
News should be factual and not simply anti Trump spin.
Yours Truly,

Subject: [acb-chat] Hatred, intimidation and make America white again
Now that the hour plus long video has surfaced of a group of Catholic
School
students engaging in multiple confrontations in our nations capital the
picture is clearer and worse than ever. There was a group of black
Hebrews
loudly protesting the president's policies, namely the wall. The group of
teens and their chaperones, wearing MAGA hats loudly counter protested
with
build the wall and go back to Africa chants. At this point the
confrontation
was mostly peaceful with the teens staying about 15 feet away from their
intended targets. At that point 3 native Americans started playing their
drums and chanting. This is where things took a turn for the ugly. The
teens
surrounded them and started to close in their circle around them,
blocking
their exit or retreat. Taking it a step further one of the teens, in a
threatening move, took off his shirt and got directly within inches of
the
native Americans who were powerless to retreat. While the apologists will
be
quick to point out that no
assault occurred, lets look at another crime that doesn't get as much
air
time. It is called menacing. Yes, in many locales that is a felony. It is
to
act in a manner which would make the victim believe they are in jeopardy
of
injury or death. Evidentially those lads were willfully ignorant of the
legal consequences of their actions. If a group of black, Hispanic, or
Muslum males surrounded a member of the privileged class or a police
officer
in the manner these lads did they would have been shot. Let's look at
another example that occurred on this list. There was a theory set forth
by
some here who believe their status as members of the privileged class
allows
them to forego tipping a wait staff. Those folks are willfully ignorant
of
something known as "theft of service", which is a very real crime in many
places. What these two aforementioned examples teach us is that when you
are
a member of the privileged class you can be as willfully ignorant of the
law
as you choose to be; be cause in the end the laws don't apply to you. So
like it or not, those fine lads from their wealthy, plaid tie, blue
blazer,
embroidered breast pocket private school have become the face of the new
privileged class and an icon of everything that is wrong with the
ever-increasing socio-economic divide.
Frank
