Chilling ad depicts bulletproof vests for children of color in Florida (VIDEO)

Greetings,

(Note: One must remember that we live in the very shadow of death. Politics of the enemy won’t solve this problem. We must unite and demand that the American government honor their commitment and give every descendant of slavery their dowries.

They must pay up. They paid Japanese internment victims. They did it for jews. They are doing it for our native American brothers.

Now it’s time for them to divide up this land that we helped them to conquer and secure. This is only justice. If they refuse, she will pay with the goal loss of her society.

Separation is the only solution. Integration has been our greatest obstacle towards uniting with our own and building something for self! Remember that prophecy teaches us that separation is the only way and even if you refuse, God is under a prophetic oath to force a separation between the two peoples!

Commonsense must prevail in this day. Regardless of your wants, we must remember that….”We cannot set up a better government for our people by using the corrupt political activities of this people – the arch deceivers. All of their work was based upon deceiving the nation, not to bring them into friendly brotherhood and prosperity for the Black man.

Even today, after a hundred years of so-called freedom, he is still against you going free. This is your trouble today. You are deceived, and deceived by the enemy you think is a friend, but take note of what he offers you. He is offering you only temporary enjoyment – and not a permanent enjoyment for your people. We want some earth, and not a temporary room in the house of our enemy.

Let the political and spiritual leaders unite on such a stand as getting some earth for the people, and not getting just a job and a chance to loll around, sleeping and allowing the enemy to protect our responsibility for self. We must bear our own responsibility.

This the God of justice and truth will force you to do, before He will be defeated, His purpose and aim is to reunite us to our own. He will fight the arch deceiver with the forces of nature and with His own wisdom, which has no equal, to make you and the enemy bow to His will.

This is the judgement of the world and especially of the white man in America, who has been here for 400 years, living between the two oceans – the Atlantic, and the Pacific – to do as he pleases. The slave is deprived of the freedom to do as he pleases, but to do as the slave master pleases.

Our great misunderstanding of self and of others lies in the deceit of the arch deceiver of us. They will never teach you and me to do good for self, only under their own power and dictatorship.

What we need is to unite, not demanding and marching all over the country to live near the white man in his home – but demand a separate place for us in this country and help us with the means of civilization, as he had to get started, limiting the time to get started within the next twenty or twenty-five years.“–pgs.53 & 54(tfoa)

Chilling ad depicts bulletproof vests for children of color in Florida (VIDEO)

A public-service ad campaign in Florida, which depicts African American children in bulletproof vests, is urging voter participation to encourage the election of candidates who support repeal of the state’s stand-your-ground gun law.

The “Vest or Vote” campaign, pushed by social justice organization The Dream Defenders, includes a billboard in Tallahassee, the state capital, and online ads that will appear on Facebook and Twitter. Dream Defenders said the campaign wants to put the state’s loose gun laws – and their impact on communities of color – front and center.

“In November, Florida’s voters will be faced with the question first posed by Malcolm X, ‘the ballot or the bullet,’” Ciara Taylor, political director for Dream Defenders, said in a statement reported by Ad Week. “That dichotomy is what this election is ultimately about.”

The billboard mimics a clothing ad such as those one might associate with H&M or Gap, according to The BRPR Group, a Miami advertising agency that worked on the campaign. In the ad, an African American child is shown with arms outstretched, showing off a black bulletproof vest, called in the ad “The Dream Vest.”

The online ad can be seen at The Dream Defenders website. A mother pleads with her son to wear a bulletproof vest, because she needs to know he will be safe when she’s at work. He agrees, and the mother puts the vest on him as if she was helping him into a winter coat.

The ad ends with a statistic in text: “Every 28 hours an African-American is killed by a police officer, security guard or vigilante.”

The message is accompanied by audio from news clips announcing the deaths of young black men in America, including Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri; Oscar Grant in San Francisco; and Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, gunned down in 2012 by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of second-degree murder and of manslaughter charges last summer based in part on the state’s stand-your-ground law.

The controversial law, which Florida pioneered before similar legislation spread across the US, allows someone, in a place they are legally allowed to be, to use deadly force if they reasonably believe they face an imminent and immediate threat of serious bodily harm or death.

The intentionally eye-catching video is designed to spark conversation, according to The BRPR Group, and to encourage young voters to “contest fear and insecurity in communities of color.”

Others have said while the ad is catchy in its controversy, it might send an offensive message to African Americans, and that voter participation can be encouraged in other ways.

“You should be voting because it’s the moral thing to do, not because you’re voting out of fear,” Dr. Irving Cohen, a community organizer at Edward Waters College in Jacksonville, told CBS 47.

Speaking about the ad, activist Solomon Comissiong told RT’s ‘In the Now’ that those fighting for social justice are seeking new and varied ways to raise awareness of police brutality, especially in minority communities, whether it means challenging local political structures or appealing to international organizations like the United Nations.

“These things are happening over and over again,” Comissiong said. “Parents are trying to figure out how to protect their children from an outfit, an organizaiton (the police) that … is allegedly supposed to be there to protect the interests of the community, but that’s not the case when you look at those communities that are black and brown.”
