DETAINMENT AND INTERNMENT
"Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
Recently, a six-year old Indiana boy was arrested after kicking his principal in the leg and threatening to kill him. The child, who had been suspended before for kicking and biting, was taken to a local police station and charged with battery and intimidation.
Instead of calling the child's parents when he began to act out, school officials called the police, claiming that putting him in the system was the best option.
Unfortunately, for some students - especially males of color - their "acting out is often judged more harshly than their peers and they are not only suspended at higher rates (for the same offensives), but they are also incarcerated at higher rates as well.
To those of us still living with our heads stuck in the sand this phenomena is something new, however, the seasoned among us, realize that detaining and confining people of color is a practice that this country has always excelled in.
Some might remember that in 1942, the United States government herded thousands of Japanese Americans into "War Relocation Camps". Law abiding, tax paying, American citizens were removed from their homes and sources of livelihood into segregated internment (prison) camps.
Decades later Congress issued legislation that said the government's actions were based solely on 'race prejudice and a failure of political leadership".
President Ronald Reagan apologized for the internment on behalf of the U.S. government and eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion in reparations to Japanese Americans who had been interned and their heirs.
Makes one wonder what happened to reparations for African Americans who had been subjected to slavery and their heirs?
Still, a few others may re-call that in 1984, Readiness Exercise 1984 (Rex 84) was written by Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North. While working in his capacity as National Security Council White House Aide and (FEMA) liaison, the United States Government developed a plan to suspend the United States Constitution, declare martial law, and to detain up to 21 million, law abiding, and tax paying American Negroes.
And last, but certainly not least, is the King Alfred Plan, a plan thought to be, a CIA-led scheme supporting an international effort to eliminate people of African descent.
Specifically, it defined how to deal with the treat of a black uprising in the United States by cordoning off black people into concentration camps in the event of a major racial incident.
A major racial incident might be something similar to an incident fueled by an innocent verdict for the murderer of Trayvon Martin.
Needless to say, our children are under siege. Satan and his imps are busy. The sad part about the war on our children is that while
contingency planning readiness exercises and programs are being implemented across the country, we that claim to know God are sitting idly by waiting, I imagine, for a savior to come floating out of the sky to rescue us from the mayhem that is sure to come.
God works through people.
People that are not afraid to act like Christ and stand up for righteousness and justice.
Marvel not; ye must be born again.
