Open Letter to Sis. Amala.....


        Just a few words to let you know that I received your message.  Glad to know that you are ever evolving.  I am still striving to do the best that I can in this state of  hypocrisy that we exist in.  But I know that one day we shall be free of all the bulls----  that we are currently under.
 

      As long as we stand together (tha Blakman and  blak woman) we shall never be defeated.  It's when we let outside influences that are not in our "house" dictate our future----that's when we have to take a step backwards. And knowing the type of  Lioness that you are......you're like me......I ain't stepping back for no one!
 

        Well, the KLu KLux KLowns were here this weekend.  Of course I went.  First of all, we have a "blaque" mayor (note the spelling of blak) who gave up his queen to marry a devil...built up downtown for the "white, Rich &  famous"....rolled out the carpet for the Klan, allowing them to dress in the Justice center (the main courthouse)...gave  them a police escort to their demonstration site...then impeded the opponents of the klan by denying them a right to voice their opinion because of silly rules like .....you couldn't enter the rally if you had a wallet, more than one key on your key ring, a tie or chain, rings on your finger, purse, a watch, etc.. anything to lessen the number of participants in the rally.
 

      They even  refused entry to a catholic priest citing that the rally was "overcrowded"!
 

       Secondly, they never advertised these rules  beforehand, so, you were caught by surprise when you got there.  Then they turned off the lights in the "blak family expo" and made people go home during the time the klan spoke.   They cited "POWER  FAILURE....right...the only power  failure was the mayor who said he had to divorce himself of his true feelings regarding the klan, who thanked the  mayor for his support and stated the mayor was one of them!!!!
 

       This has to be the first time a blak man was ever endorsed by the klan.
 

      I could go on...but, the fire inside me is starting to rage. Over 700 police, it was partitioned off by gates that segregated opponents & supporters, it really resembled nazi germany, the complete  issuance of martial law in the downtown area...there was even a tank there!
 

      The next day the mayor stated, "there was peace in the city".....bull---! He rolled the red carpet out for them and impeded the progress of those who would oppose them.  This same mayor refused to issue a "men's only" meeting to Min. Farrakhan, but gave the klan a permit in 20 minutes!  He has built stadiums while homeless people are sleeping on sidewalks and school children have no books.
 

Let me end this letter by asking you to print this letter in the Gazette so others may know the situation in KKKleveland.
 
 

Your Friend,
The Watcher

 P.S. May God Bless us all.
