Read his "human rights" is "existing laws." The same laws of war criminals are tried. African American you are an accredited member of the international community. We are not an island. That's what they do not want you to know.

Our so-called "civil rights" leaders only want to look to them for leadership. So you can continue to receive payment. They have a real job. And some preachers who claim to be unchurched. They hide behind their Bibles and continue to sing and march for freedom for all Americans and have been since 1948!

After reading your "human rights" tell me why you ever need the "civil rights" movement. All I ever needed these rights were to be met. Our university is called education and traveled the world civil rights leader are aware of it now, and they knew it then.

But our so called leaders do not want us to think of our true rights as human beings. The "civil rights" movement has been profitable for them. Plain and simple. They never "rock the boat."

They have become rich and famous patronizing our struggle. guest of honor to speak shows and in the White House. But our situation has not changed.

We have a U.S. president in Africa who can not even seem to be overly concerned about the injustice that was launched against African-Americans every day. If he did do the right thing would be accused of being "too Black."

I do not think that our leaders want any of us regardless of race or nationality should be aware of our human rights. Why? Because we have all been violated. Ebony & Ivory alike.
