The Former African Colonizers In The Libyan "Humanitarian Mission" - Float By A Boat Full Of African Migrants - Allowing 61 Of Them To Die Of Thirst

UK Guardian: French and Italian Vessels Ignored The Distress Calls From A Boatload Of African Refugees - 61 Died Of Thirst At Sea

• UK Decides To Not Open Borders To Libyan Refugees
• Libyan Government Accused Of Exploiting Incident Of Refugee Boat

The worst part about these times were JingOism has infected the minds of many Negroes is what it has exposed that had been clandestinely within them.   In the model that I am working on called "Matter / Anti-Matter" their "dark matter" as represented by their SILENCE and COMPLICITY is as reprehensible as the "matter" that they can be heard attacking.  The only difference is that "matter" is labeled as racist, imperialism and exploitation.

Those who believe they have exclusive control of the labels applied quickly accepted that the US Military bombing of Libya (in Africa) in coalition with France, The United Kingdom - and Italy - the former colonial power in Libya was due to HUMANITARIAN REASONS.

As rhetoric pours out regarding America's new policy direction in the Middle East - many recall Israel's bombing of Gaza a few years ago and believe that it should have been sanctioned by the United Nations for its excess.  Few of these same people are watching attentively as Libya is being bombed except this time it is being bombed WITH THE COVER OF the United Nations' resolution about enforcing a "No Fly Zone" to protect the sovereign government of Libya..............from massacring its own citizens.

We'll look past the fact that to date the government of Syria has shot dead over 800 of its own citizens yet none of the former colonizers have expressed interest in dropping bombs there to curtail the government.  Instead I choose to pick apart that claim of HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION as a preemptive cover.

I realize that while the notion of "Africa" is fused within the minds of many Black Americans as a point of pride but we still have to focus on paying the rent that is due in a few weeks over here.   At the same time if we run the scene of a boat full of refugees but transplant them to the Caribbean Sea - where they are Haitian Refugees - the notice of a US Navy or Coast Guard vessel having looked the other way would have triggered angry protests on the streets of America.   It would have been connected to the present angst about "Immigration Reform".

Instead - we hear COMPLICIT SILENCE.

A  'Great Unraveling' might occur if this incident in which a great lack of compassion for people in distress shown by the Italian and French vessels caused those who accepted the claim of the "Libyan Humanitarian Bombing Mission" to be reinspected.  Since they are "going with the flow" on Libya - they rationally choose to stay silent on this news about the refugee boat.

Credit To A Few Unbound Progressives Heard On The Radio

I would be remiss if I did not expressly applaud some people who I heard on the radio yesterday as the "West vs Sharpton - RE: Obama" debate transpired.

Several people with their eye on the chess match around the world rejected the Humanitarian Bombs upon Libya by Commander in Chief Obama and his 3 former colonizer conspirators.

In their view:

• Libya was seeking to strengthen the African Union for greater economic strength
• Seeking to control its own oil reserves without Western intervention

While I do not accept all of the glowing accounts of the Libyan government - the people in Libya had it better than the large majority of people on the continent who have limited infrastructure to speak of.

The watch as the (supposedly) conscious panel of Black people tell us "All That Obama Has Done For Black People" - with NOT A DAMNED ITEM pointing to AN INCREASE IN ORGANIC COMPETENCY FOR BLACK PEOPLE - it is none too surprising that they are forced to be SILENT.

Libya is as ARBITRARY a point of outrage as are the alms that they lay at the feet of Obama - looking past our Black 16.1% unemployment rate and other issues in order to save face.
