Haitians challenge the rich and the rulers
AHP - Activists from the Bel-Air neighborhood in Port-au-Prince are
putting pressure on the interim authorities to release Haiti's
revered folksinger, Annette Auguste, known fondly as So Anne, who was
brutally and illegally arrested May 10 by U.S. Marines. They say her
arrest and detention is part of a campaign of persecution
orchestrated by the Latortue government against Lavalas supporters.
These activists, who had organized the demonstration of May 18, say
they may organize another demonstration soon if all the members and
supporters of Fanmi Lavalas who have been arrested and detained
illegally are not released.
In Haiti's Artibonite Valley, peasants threatened to come to blows
with the large landowners who made outright seizures of parcels of
land that had been granted to peasants under a land reform program.
"The large landowners have the support of Provisional Prime Minister
Latortue. And if Mr. Latortue continues down this road, blood will
flow in the Valley", they threatened, adding that they are not
prepared to stand by and let themselves be exploited.
Exiled Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who began his
activism as a Catholic priest preaching liberation theology,
delivered the sermon at a church in the "Dark City", a low-income
neighborhood in Johannesburg Sunday. He thanked South African
President Thabo Mbeki and first lady Zanele Mbeki, who accompanied
the Aristide family to the church, for welcoming his family to South
Africa. Speaking on their arrival in South Africa May 31, Aristide
had reminded his hosts that "a good number of the slaves who fought
in the (Haitian) Revolution were born here in Africa and had served
in African armies prior to their enslavement and arrival in Haiti."

Subject: Re: God Called The Birds Away - A Tribute to President Reagan
I was deeply appalled and saddened to read the misguided and misinformed
poem, "God Called the Birds Away - A Tribute to President Reagan," on "The
Black List."
What troubled me most was how the author showed so little cognizance of
just who Ronald Reagan was in reality.
For that reason, I am recommending to the readership of "The Black List"
generally and to the author of the poem specifically two excellent and
informative essays on the real Ronald Reagan in the current issue of "The
Black Commentator, "10 June 04, Issue 94: Glen Ford's "Reagan: The Great
White Redeemer" and Tim Wise's "Reagan, Race and Remembrance: Reflections
on the American Divide." These essays can be found at the following link:
http://www.blackcommentator.com/
Finally, I would also strongly recommend that the author of the poem read
Carter G. Woodson's classic study, "The Miseducation of the Negro."
Remember, if the oppressor controls our mind and shapes our perceptions
[read: misperceptions], then the battle is hopelessly and irredeemably
lost.
Why chose such a tragic fate?

Subject: Reagan, Race and Remembrance
Reagan, Race and Remembrance
by Tim Wise
If one needs any more evidence that whites and people of
color live in two totally different places, politically
and psychically, one need only look at the visual
evidence provided by the death of Ronald Reagan.
More to the point, all one needs to know about this man
and his Presidency can be gleaned by looking even
haphazardly at the racial and ethnic makeup of the
crowds flocking to his ranch, or his library to pay
tribute. So too will it be apparent from the assemblage
lining the streets of DC for his funeral procession, or
gathering in the Capitol Rotunda to pay respects to
their departed hero.
They are, and will be -- in case you missed it or are
waiting for the safest prediction in the history of
prognostication -- white. Far whiter, one should point
out, than the nation over which Reagan presided, and
even more so than the nation into whose soil he will be
deposited within a matter of days.
While persons of color make up approximately 30 percent
of the population of the United States, the Reagan
faithful look like another country altogether. As they
gathered in Simi Valley -- home of the 40th President's
library, as well as the jury that thought nothing of the
police beating of Rodney King -- one wonders if they
noticed the incongruity between themselves and the rest
of the state in which they live: a state called
California, where people like them are slightly less
than half the population now.
Doubtful. Most of them, after all, are quite used to
never seeing black and brown folks, since the vast
majority of whites live in communities with virtually no
people of color around them.
That the mourners wouldn't notice the overwhelming
monochromy of their throng is no surprise. But it has
been more than a little interesting that no intrepid
reporter - or at least someone pretending to be such a
creature -- has thought to ask the obvious question
about the racial makeup of those losing sleep over the
death of Ronald Reagan, versus those who frankly aren't.
After all, there are really only two possible
interpretations of the sanguine reaction by people of
color to Reagan's death: namely, either black and brown
folks are poster children for insensitivity, or perhaps
they know something that white folks don't, or would
rather ignore.
The former of these is not likely -- after all, millions
of black folks actually forgave George Wallace for God's
sake when he did a partial mea culpa for his racist past
before his death -- but the latter is as certain as rain
in Seattle.
What white folks ignore, but what most black folks can
never forget, is how Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act
at the time of its passage, calling it an unwarranted
intrusion on the rights of businesses, and never
repudiated his former stand.
Or that as Governor of California, Reagan dismissed the
struggle for fair and open housing, by saying that
blacks were just 'making trouble' and had no intention
of moving into mostly white neighborhoods.
Perhaps they have a hard time forgetting that of all the
places Reagan could have begun his campaign for the
Presidency in 1980, he had to choose Philadelphia,
Mississippi: a town famous only for the 1964 murder of
three civil rights workers. And perhaps they recall that
the focus of his speech that day was 'state's rights,' a
longstanding white code for rolling back civil rights
gains and longing for the days of segregation.
Maybe they have burned in their memories the way Reagan
attacked welfare programs with stories of 'strapping
young bucks' buying T-Bone steaks, while hardworking
taxpayers could only afford hamburger, or how Reagan
fabricated a story about a 'welfare queen' from Chicago
with 80 names, 30 addresses, and 12 Social Security
cards, receiving over $150,000 in tax-free income. That
Reagan picked Chicago as the site of this entirely
fictional woman, and not some mostly white rural area
where there were plenty of welfare recipients too, was
hardly lost on African Americans.
Perhaps black folks and other people of color remember
the words of former Reagan Education Secretary Terrell
Bell, who noted in his memoir how racial slurs were
common among the 'Great Communicator's' White House
staffers, including common references to Martin Lucifer
Coon, and 'sand niggers.'
Perhaps they recall that Reagan supported tax exemptions
for schools that discriminated openly against blacks.
Perhaps they recall how his Administration cut funds for
community health centers by 18 percent, denying three-
quarters-of-a-million people access to services; how
they cut federal housing assistance by two-thirds,
resulting in the loss of about 200,000 affordable units
for renters in urban areas.
Or how Reagan opposed sanctions against the racist South
African regime, and even denied that apartheid, under
which system blacks could not vote, was racist, noting
that its policies were 'more tribal than racial.'
And it isn't surprising that few if any Salvadorans or
Guatemalans who came to the U.S. in the 1980s, fleeing
from violence in their countries, were to be seen
placing flowers outside Reagan's library either.
After all, the former were forced to seek refuge here
precisely because Reagan was so intent on funneling
money and arms to the murderous death-squad governments
who were responsible for killing so many of their
countrymen and women; and the latter no doubt recall how
Reagan brushed off the genocidal policies of Guatemalan
dictator Rios Montt -- whose scorched earth tactics,
especially against the nation's indigenous resulted in
at least 70,000 deaths -- by saying he was getting a
'bum rap' on human rights, and was instead a man of
'great personal commitment,' who was dedicated to
'social justice.'
That whites would view much of this as irrelevant, even
whining or sour grapes on the part of communities of
color, is only proof positive that for many if not most
such folks, the opinions of, and even the humanity of
black and brown persons with whom they share a nation is
of secondary importance to the fact that Reagan - as
many have been gushing these past few days -- 'made them
feel good again.'
But how can healthy people feel good about a leader who
does and says the kinds of things mentioned above?
Obviously the answer is by denying that racism matters,
or that its victims count for anything. Even more
cynically, it is no doubt true that for many of them, it
was precisely Reagan's policy of hostility to people of
color that made them feel good in the first place. By
1980, most whites were already tiring of civil rights
and were looking for someone who would take their minds
off such troubling concepts as racism, and instead
implore them to 'greatness,' however defined, and
'pride,' however defined, and flag waving.
Whites have long been more enamored of style than
substance, of fiction than fact, of fantasy than
reality. It's why we have clung so tenaciously to the
utterly preposterous version of our national history
peddled by textbooks for so long; and it's why we get so
angry when anyone tries to offer a correction.
It's why we choose to believe the lie about the U.S.
being a shining city on a hill, rather than a
potentially great but thoroughly flawed place built on
the ruins and graves of Native peoples, built by the
labor of enslaved Africans, enlarged by theft and murder
and an absolute disregard for non-European lives.
As Randall Robinson points out in his recent book,
Quitting America, when such subjects are broached, the
operative response from much of the white tribe is
little more than, 'Oh, that.'
Yes white man, that. That exactly. That thing we were
raised to gloss over, to speak of in hushed tones, as if
by our diminished volume or failure to audibilize it, it
will go away; that perhaps they will forget about it,
and instead join with us in praise of our country, since
that is most definitely how so many of us envision it.
White people, especially those who are upper-middle
class and above, have no reason on Earth to be aware of
the truth, let alone to dwell on it. The truth is, after
all, so messy, so littered with the bodies of dead
Nicaraguans, and dead Haitians murdered by Duvalier
while Reagan stood by him; so soiled by his support for
Saddam Hussein. Better to ignore all that, and to go
mushy before the pictures of Reagan in his cowboy hat,
to remember a President who, for all of his murderous
policies abroad and contempt for millions at home, at
least never got a blow job in the Oval Office.
This is the twisted psychosis of growing up privileged,
as a member of the dominant group: a group that must
view their nation as fair and just, as a place struck
off by the literal hand of God, as a place where
'average' guys like Ronald Reagan can become 'great
leaders.' As a place where an 'aw shucks' smile, and a
profound lack of knowledge about the details of public
policy -- or even the names of foreign leaders -- is not
only not cause for embarrassment, but yet another good
reason to vote for someone; where refusing to read up on
important policy details prior to a key international
meeting so one can watch The Sound of Music on TV, is
seen as endearing rather than cause for a recall.
This is why we get people like George W. Bush, for those
who haven't figured it out yet. Oh sure, vote fraud and
a pliant Supreme Court help, but were it not for the
love affair white Americans have with mediocrity posing
as leadership, things never could have gotten this far.
It's why a bona fide moron like Tom DeLay can brag about
not having a passport (because, after all, why would
anyone want to travel abroad and leave 'Amur'ca,' even
for a day) and not be seen as the epitome of a
blithering idiot, and why he could probably be elected
again and again in thousands of white dominated
congressional districts in this country, and not merely
in Texas.
Having to grapple with the real world is stressful, and
people with relative power and privilege never know how
to deal with stress very well. As such, they long for
and applaud easy answers for the stress that
occasionally manages to intrude upon their lives: so
they blame people of color for high taxes, failing
schools, crime, drugs, and jobs they didn't get; they
blame terrorism on 'evil,' and the notion that they hate
our freedoms: a belief one can only have if one really
thinks one lives in a free country in the first place.
In other words, delusion is both the fuel that propels
people like Ronald Reagan forward in political life, and
then makes a rational assessment of his legacy
impossible upon his death.
I think this is why so many white people remember him
fondly, and are truly crestfallen at the thought of his
physical obsolescence: simply put, much of white America
needs Ronald Reagan; a father figure to tell them
everything is going to be O.K.; a kindly old Wizard of
Oz, to assure them that image and reality are one, even
when the more cerebral parts of our beings tend towards
an opposite conclusion.
With Reagan gone, maintaining the illusion becomes more
difficult.
But knowing white folks -- I am after all one of them,
and have been surrounded by them all of my life -- I
have little doubt that where there's a will to remain in
la-la land, we will surely find a way.
Reagan has been released from the lie, finally, and may
his soul find peace among the millions of dearly
departed victims of his policies around the world.
Meanwhile, the rest of us must pull back the curtain on
all phony heroes, Reagan among them, lest we create many
millions more.

Subject: LATE NIGHT CONVERSATION IN VIENNA
June 12, 2004
On the question of African nationality and identity,
Malcolm X once said, and Kwame Ture often repeated,
"Just because a cat has babies in an oven you don't
call the babies biscuits!"
Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
I hope that you are well. I am back in Paris now for a
few days before I depart for Denmark next week. It
will be my first visit to Denmark and I hope also to
be able to travel to Sweden. My major goal is to see
the large antiquities collections, especially those in
the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen (said to be
especially good), but I am there for three days and I
am sure that I will get around and see all that I can
and do all that I can to see what needs to be seen. I
am equally certain that it will turn out to be another
interesting adventure in the search for and
documentation of the African presence globally.
I left Austria yesterday morning a bit reluctantly.
If I had been able to stay there for one more day I
would have seized the opportunity to visit Budapest,
Hungary. Who knows when I will get that way again?
Well, it is always hard to do everything.
Before I left Austria, though, I was blessed to engage
in an interesting but all too short late night
conversation with a small group of dynamic Africans in
Vienna named PAMOJA: Movement of the Young African
Diaspora in Austria. From the Pamoja organization
that night came, first of all, Araba E.
Johnston-Arthur. Araba is the sister who arranged the
gathering, who gave me the most information on the
African presence in Austria and who acted as the major
spokesperson for the organization. Sister Araba, the
senior citizen of Pamoja at age twenty-nine, was
joined by another beautiful and powerful twenty-six
year old African woman raised in Germany but of
Ghanaian origin, and an articulate and energetic
twenty-seven year old African man of strong views and
Nigerian-Austrian parentage.
Although the session was somewhat short due to the
lateness of the hour (I had been in the Czech Republic
all day) it was most interesting and I am happy to say
that in addition to seeing many of the finest art
collections in Europe I have also, on this trip, been
able to have very healthy interactions with
representatives of conscious African organizations in
Paris and Nantes in France, Amsterdam and Rotterdam in
the Netherlands and now Vienna, Austria.
Among the things that Pamoja told me is that there are
about 20,000 Africans in Austria, with about half of
them "Black Africans" and the rest from Egypt. About
1.6 million people live in Vienna out of a total
Austrian population of approximately eight million. So
Africans are not all that numerous there. They also
told me that there are rapidly growing numbers of
Turks and people from the former nation of Yugoslavia
in Austria. Most of the Africans in Austria are
scattered over Vienna's twenty-three administrative
districts. While there is a sense of community
amongst them there is nothing that could be
justifiably called an African neighborhood. Many of
the Africans in Austria are refugees.
The Pamoja members told me about rampant racism in
Austria and the scarcity of African businesses and
social institutions. They told me that white people
in Austria felt that they should be able to refer to
African people as "niggers" without Africans taking
offense. They told me about the limited opportunities
for Africans for successful careers in Austria and of
the Vienna nightclubs that they were refused entrance
to. They told me about the graffiti sprayed on city
walls and buildings saying "niggers out" and "niggers
go home." And they told me about some of the cases of
anti-African police brutality that conjured up for me
images of Rodney King and Ahmadou Diallo and Abner
Louima. One such case of extreme brutality involved a
Mauritanian brother taken into police custody. A
number of police officers were video taped actually
standing on top of the man until he stopped breathing.
In spite of the video tape and the vicious nature of
the incident none of the cops were convicted of a
crime. Sister Zawadi Sagna, of the Black
Consciousness organization here in Paris, has told me
similar stories of widespread anti-African police and
civilian brutality in France. Does any of this sound
familiar to you? And one gets similar stories about
anti-African violence from police and skin heads and
neo Nazis in many parts of Europe, with some of the
worst cases reported in Germany and Russia. I repeat,
does any of this sound familiar to you?
The Pamoja organization also told me the story of
Angelo Soliman, an African who managed to become
something of a kind of court secretary in Austria
about two hundred years ago. There is a color photo
of him in Henry Louis Gates' Africana encyclopedia and
a sister in the California Bay Area has been kind
enough to present me with a book in German with the
same photo on the cover.
Well, apparently after Angelo Soliman died, in spite
of his distinguished career, or pehaps because of it,
his body, along with two other Africans, was actually
stuffed like an animal and put on display. A bitter
struggle ensued, led by Soliman's daughter, to gain
possession of at least her father's skin. It was a
struggle that she would not win. Soliman's body was
housed in a museum which was burnt down in the March
1848 Revolution.
Such is the case of the African presence in Austria.
In love of Africa,
Runoko Rashidi

Urban suffering grew under Reagan
BY PETER DREIER
Peter Dreier is director of the urban and environmental policy program at
Occidental College and co-author of "Place Matters: Metropolitics for the
21st Century." James P. Pinkerton's column will appe
June 10, 2004
As some Americans mourn the death of Ronald Reagan as if they'd lost a
friend, let us recall that the two-term president was no friend to America's
cities.
Politically, Reagan owed little to urban voters, big-city mayors, black or
Hispanic leaders, or labor unions - the major advocates for metropolitan
concerns. His indifference to their problems was legendary. Early in his
presidency, at a White House reception, he went up to the only black member
of his cabinet, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Samuel Pierce, and
said, "How are you, Mr. Mayor? I'm glad to meet you. How are things in your
city?"
Reagan not only failed to recognize his own HUD secretary; he also failed to
deal with the growing corruption scandal at the agency. Indeed, during the
Reagan years, HUD became a feeding trough for Republican campaign
contributors. Fortunately for Reagan, the media didn't uncover the "HUD
Scandal" until he left office. It resulted in the indictment and conviction
of top Reagan administration officials for illegally targeting housing
subsidies to politically connected developers.
Reagan also presided over the dramatic deregulation of the nation's
savings-and-loan industry, which allowed S&L's to end their reliance on home
mortgages and engage in an orgy of commercial real estate speculation. This
ultimately led to a federal taxpayer bailout that cost hundreds of billions
of dollars.
Reagan's fans give him credit for restoring the nation's prosperity. But the
income gap between the rich and everyone else in America widened. Wages for
the average worker declined. The homeownership rate fell. Despite boom times
for the rich, the poverty rate in cities grew.
Reagan is often lauded as "the great communicator," but he used his
rhetorical skills to stigmatize poor people, which laid the groundwork for
slashing the social safety net - despite the fact that Reagan's own family
had been rescued by New Deal anti-poverty programs during the Depression.
During his stump speeches, Reagan often told the story of a so-called
welfare queen in Chicago who drove a Cadillac and had ripped off $150,000
from the government using 80 aliases, 30 addresses, a dozen Social Security
cards and four fictional dead husbands. Reagan dutifully promised to roll
back welfare. Journalists searched for this welfare cheat and discovered
that she didn't exist. Nevertheless, he kept using the anecdote.
Overall Reagan cut federal assistance to local governments by 60 percent. In
1980, federal dollars accounted for 22 percent of big-city budgets, but when
he left office, it was down to 6 percent.
Reagan's most dramatic cut was for low-income housing subsidies. Soon after
taking office, he appointed a housing task force dominated by developers,
landlords and bankers. Its 1982 report called for "free and deregulated"
markets as an alternative to government assistance. Reagan followed their
advice. Between 1980 and 1989, HUD's budget authority was cut from $74
billion to $19 billion in constant dollars. The number of new subsidized
housing starts fell from 175,000 to 20,000 a year.
One of Reagan's most enduring legacies is the steep increase in homeless
people. By the late 1980s, the number of homeless had swollen to 600,000 on
any given night and 1.2 million over the course of a year.
Defending himself against charges of callousness toward the poor, Reagan
gave a classic blaming-the-victim statement. In 1984 on "Good Morning
America" he said that people sleeping on the streets "are homeless, you
might say, by choice."
President George W. Bush, who often claims Reagan's mantle, last month
proposed cutting one-third of the Section 8 housing vouchers - a lifeline
against homelessness for 2 million poor families. In this and many other
ways, the Reagan revolution toward the cities continues.
We've already named a major airport and schools and streets after Ronald
Reagan. But perhaps a more fitting tribute to his legacy would be for each
American city to name a park bench - where at least one homeless person
sleeps every night - in honor of our 40th president.
