The Birmingham Times received four letters to the editor from Kamau Afrika; unfortunately due to space, we were not able print them in their entirety.
1) Alabama Legislature refuses to allow Alabama voters to vote on a fair lotto that will help our young struggling citizens further their education. They’d rather see white women having to result to selling themselves on Backpage.com, Adultstrips.com and Erosguide to make ends meet to pay for their college tuition.
2) They raided and closed down Bingo Halls in Green County last week putting 1,264 (I was one of many) Alabamians onto the welfare roles for taxpayers to foot the bill (encouraged with Wetumpka Indian’s kickback money paid to the Alabama Speaker of the House and AG’s office) that have been opened legally with an Alabama Legislative Act.
It is time for another bloody American Revolution !!!
Haiti paid France reparation in the amount of $17 billion for the loss of its slaves, plantation and production from 1804 – 1994. Haiti paid the full amount for 34 years then the amount was reduced by France to 17 million. All white powers continued their racist economic onslaught against Haitian Blacks that dared to fight them for 12 years until they freed themselves. The Spanish, British and Americans under the hypocrite and pedophile (child rapist of 13-year-old slave Sally Hemmings) President Thomas Jefferson who wrote the U.S. “Declaration of Independence set up blockades and imposed embargoes against Haiti. The U.S. Marines invaded Haiti under President Woodrow Wilson on July 28, 1915 and occupied Haiti for 19 years until Aug 15,1934 after setting up a puppet oppressive regime to serve only the White Corporate Power interest which gave nothing back to the infrastructure. The “Corpratocrity” or what is commonly known as the Greedy Global Corporations i.e. U.S. Military Industrial Complex (Pres. Dwight D Eisenhower warned us against) is a $57 billion entity. All white western powers’ wealth came from the murder and oppression of Blacks in particular and others of color that did not have the means to fight back. The Natl Urban Leagues new “State of Black America” report says that Blacks in America are fastly losing all of the economic gains made and even the middle class will be impoverished within 10 years if we do not unite here as well as globally. That means you, your children & your grandchildren are dead. Pan Africanism is the only way !!! Obama is not gonna help !!!
I have been struggling in Real Estate some 20 years, now unable to gain additional employment to finish my masters. I was offered a managers job at Rivers Edge Casino that the State of Alabama just raided. Some 1,299 other employees are affected and an entire impoverished Greene County will continue to suffer. Years ago before I became computer literate, I’d often go to Kim Rafferty’s home and pay her to post my ad for property rentals on www.Craigslist.com. By the time www.Backpage.com came along I learned how to post myself. Both sites had a huge variety of categories of which I viewed. Over the last 12 years I noticed after the Craigslist killing of the “Call Girl” by a medical student, a lot of attention has been given the power, influence and the profit of these two as well as the new Angies List. I noticed however, due to the bad economy, one category grew exponentially: the Escorts, Call Girl and Prostitutes. Before Bob Riley, one would rarely find seven postings in Alabama. Those sites, as well as others like Adultstrips.com and Erosguide, are proliferated with desperate women trying to support drug habits, get thru college, raise children or just pay bills and survive. We have no leadership in City, County nor State that has any vision nor one that thinks out of the box to eliminate illiteracy and bring low skill, high pay sustainable industry to Alabama citizens.
I am writing about this because it came so close to me to learn of at least seven women that I knew that had posted on the escorts sites. One I had dated prior to her turning to escorting and another whose number I had recently gotten with the intent to date and I was simply experimenting with Googling numbers and guess what popped up ? An ad in West Palm Beach, Florida with her picture. When I confronted her that ended the relationship before it got started.
