Historical Revisionism and Selective Memory in America<\/strong>
\nSo it is today that political and human rights activists such as Reverend Edward Pinkney (no relation) of Benton Harbor, Michigan, Cindy Sheehan, Cynthia McKinney, etc. are despised by many, largely ignored or marginalized by the corporate media, and are the targets for mockery, derision, discreditation, imprisonment and\/or worse by local, state, and national U.S. Government authorities and its corporate allies. This is why empire ‘America’ unendingly repeats the cycle of imperialistic wars abroad and corporate bloodsucking at home. This cycle can and must be broken, but this will not be done by the vampiric corporate elite (both White and Black) who in fact perpetuate it. It will only be done by everyday people who are fed up with being corporate chattel and political \/ military cannon fodder, and who are uncompromisingly organized to break this cycle once and for all. It must be with determination and a deep sense of justice that we involve ourselves in this dialectical and protracted struggle to break this cycle. We cannot expect to be loved or even respected by those against whom we struggle or their mindless minions. We can however expect to fiercely fight for the ideals of a truly free society, unfettered by corporate domination, disinformation, and control. – Larry Pinkney<\/p>\n

Silence: The Fifth Column of Complicity<\/strong>
\nBy Larry Pinkney
\nDecember 4, 2009 (BC Issue 353,\u00a0December 3, 2009)<\/p>\n

Larry Pinkney was also\u00a0quoted in <\/strong>another article in the same worldproutassembly.org December 4, 2009\u00a0issue entitled,\u00a0Dr King Spanks Obama: Part 4<\/em> by David Kendall.<\/p>\n

Quotes:<\/p>\n

According to Larry Pinkney, “the underbelly of this nation is the black underclass. Instead of becoming smaller and moving out of poverty and disenfranchisement, the black underclass has grown much, much larger and become even more impoverished and disenfranchised”.<\/p>\n

In chapter 5 of his book, Dr. King implores the American black population to educate themselves and to become more actively involved in politics. [2] While some have successfully heeded this call to action, Pinkney further observes, “The relatively small black elite has shamelessly, in complicity with the elite of its white counterpart, helped spawn an insidious new form of racism and economic apartheid. Moreover, members of the black underclass are themselves chastised and blamed by this insidious black elite and intelligentsia for being the economic and social victims of a callous, avaricious, capitalist system which now finds itself in deep trouble nationally and globally”.

Time to ACTUALIZE A People’s Vision of the Future<\/strong>
\nThe growing joblessness, home foreclosures, burgeoning prison population, bloody wars abroad, environmental degradation, and a de facto national police state in this nation deeply affects everyday people everywhere, and it did not simply happen—, it was brought into being by the avaricious corporate \/ military elite who are the scourge upon this nation and planet. We must always remember that capitalism is by its very nature,–systemic terrorism against the poor and everyday people. We \/ you, hold the key to real systemic change, and it is we who must bring it about! Each one teach one! Onward then my sisters and brothers! Onward!…. – Larry Pinkney<\/p>\n
