Re: My Take on the 14th Amendment and your fixation on the oppressed becoming the oppressor
TheOne, I agree with Maestro in this framework. Oppressed people should not be lashing out at other oppressed people. The system, systemic issues, such as media suppression is what needs to be addressed. Most people get their views and values from the media framing they grow-up within. If the mass media framed the biblical peoples like the Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, etc., like they really looked, we'd have a different cultural flow to draw from. Currently, the media teaches that any group that has ever done anything were pink colored. So Arabs, Latino's, Asians, etc., imbibe the status quo. That's why we need you guys to realize that whatever you post results in negative or positive PR, essentially, by default. The 14th Amendment needs to remain as it is. The Neo-Confederates would love to chip away at it.
Photo: Above: The progenitors of civilization -- The Assyrians and Hebrews were Black folks.
This photo (above) is from a public school textbook, a primary source depiction of Arabs, riding camels, with the braids (Black folks), fighting the Assyrians, (Black folks). But the textbooks don't point out the clear distinctions that the people in the depictions above were not pink people. The West has the world in a matrix, as if using the term pink is a bad thing. This is a clear example of white supremacist PR, fed to our children every day, through omission.
