Striving Under A State of Extreme Insecurity
By Dr. Ridgely Abdul Mu’min Muhammad
"The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews, Volume II” (TSR-II)
documents how the Southern Jews helped the Southern white Gentiles to put Black
people back in a form of “slavery by another name” using a set of laws
called the “Black Codes”. Presently I will share with the reader a number of
these “laws”, however there is another set of facts that are not widely
broadcasted about a period of American history where Black people just up from
slavery not only survived but grew in population and wealth even under the
burden of these “Black Codes”.
On Sunday, July 11, 2010 Minister Farrakhan stated that Black people are a
“broken people”. The high divorce rate and abandonment of their children by
Black men today certainly points to a state of being “broken”. However,
although slavery had greatly afflicted Black people they were not yet “broken”
when chattel slavery ended in 1865. It took another full century to complete the
breaking process and the TSR-II begins to document that dark patch of history
where Black people moved from a plantation of physical fences to a more
sophisticated legislated captivity under an atmosphere of complete insecurity of
life and property for the newly freed slave.
In particular for a group or society to grow in wealth and allow people to
invest, that society must have a certain level of “security”. Let me quote
from The Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank) lecture by Conrad Burns
on March 28, 2003 called "Beyond the Middle East: In Search of Energy
Security." He states: "Private capital investment requires political
stability and the rule of law. Contracts must be honored, corruption must
disappear, and the regulatory regime must be favorable to attract
investors."
Another scholar, Keith S. Rosen, puts it another way in his analysis of
"Suggested Principles for Regulating Foreign Investment" done for the
Consulting Assistance on Economic Reform (CAER II) on April of 1998:
"The guaranty of fair and equitable treatment covers both personnel and
property. Investment requires security, and it is people, rather than things,
that feel secure or insecure. It is essential people feel secure not only with
respect to property rights but also as to their own persons."
Therefore, both white Gentile and Jew know the importance of a secure
environment for the development of capital within a capitalist system of which
America is the great promoter and example of. After 1865 Blacks thought that
they were free and full citizens of the United States. And for a while as long
as the North kept troops in the South, Blacks exercised a measure of freedom and
economic mobility. However, according to TSR-II there was a Jewish congressman
from Louisiana named William M. Levy who on March 1, 1877 persuaded the U.S.
Congress to remove the troops from the South and let the Southern whites have
their way with the defenseless Blacks. By enacting these Black Codes both
Gentile and Jew intended to thwart any economic development by their former
slaves. Here are some of the laws that were actually put into practice during
the Jim Crow era according to “The Secret Relationship Between Black and Jews,
Volume II”:
1. Blacks could not be employed in any jobs other than plantation labor
without a specific license granted by a judge, and the employer had to be
white.2. All Blacks had to make binding one-year contracts with planters within
the first ten days of January, after which written permission was required
if Blacks wanted to leave the property. If a Black worker had a dispute and
left his job, he could be arrested and put on a public works project until
he agreed to go back to his original employer.3. Blacks were prohibited from buying or renting farmland except in
designated all-Black (but white controlled) areas. Blacks could be barred
from entering whole towns, or allowed entry only at designated times with a
pass stipulating specific activities.4. So-called vagrancy and “idle” laws were established specifically
to ensnare any Black man who was not on a plantation or headed to one.
Blacks in the process of seeking work could be assailed, incarcerated,
whipped, and then auctioned off into peonage to any white man who paid their
fines.5. Every contract required at least one party be a white man for it to be
valid. One state decreed that having “one-eighth or more of negro blood”
was adequate cause to void contracts.6. Black testimony was prohibited in court, so a contract made by a Black
person could not be enforced if a white man chose to dishonor it…:“All negroes, mulattoes, Indians, and persons of mixed blood,
descended from negro, or negro and Indian ancestors, to the third
generation inclusive, though one ancestor in each generation may have
been a white person, shall be incapable of being witnesses in any case
whatever, except for or against each other”7. Blacks were not allowed to bear arms for their own use, so hunting
(with guns) was off-limits, as was basic self-defense.8. South Carolina required that any Black man entering the state had to,
within twenty days, have two white men post a bond guaranteeing his good
behavior.9. Blacks were forbidden to sell farm products like flour, cotton, hay,
rice, peas, wheat, etc., without the written permission from a white man,
thus disallowing Black agri-business and eliminating Black competition.
Now let us dissect some of these codes. There were more Black Codes than
these, however even among the nine that we listed here there are four (5,6,7 and
9) of them taken together basically would eliminate Black people from legally
owning land and going into any type of business. In “5” contracts could be
voided just because you were Black. How can you do business where anyone can
void their contract with you? According to code “6” you could not even take
them to court and with “7”, you could not even own a gun to protect you,
your family and your property. And code “9” basically made it illegal to
sell anything that white folk did not want you to sell. Therefore, if a Black
person wanted to participate in normal business relationships in this capitalist
country he had to do it at his own risk, under an umbrella of complete
lawlessness and insecurity.
Now if we couple this with other information presented in TSR-II about how
the Southern Jews grew from peddlers to store owners to bankers, then we can see
that the Black codes (4) made it completely illegal for Blacks to move up that
economic ladder of capitalism. And on page 232 of the book it is pointed out
that the Jews followed Blacks around as peddlers and grew rich whereas laws in
states like South Carolina prohibited Blacks from “vending, bartering or
peddling any articles or commodities.”
Now add to these laws the atmosphere created by the free lynching of Blacks
that took place in the late 1800s and early 1900s, it is a wonder that there was
any Black land ownership, businesses or institutions at all. Between 1889 and
1930 at least 3,000 Blacks were lynched. And contrary to popular belief only a
small fraction, one out of five, were even claimed to be related to raping a
white woman according the TSR-II. However, in this same period Blacks still
had the fortitude to establish several all-Black towns and bought 16 million
acres of land by 1910, an area the size of New England. Their population had
increased from an estimated 4.4 million in 1860 to 8.8 million in 1900. So under
these very insecure circumstances, Black people were striving to participate in
the American dream. Jim Crow and the Black Codes were not enough to stop the
rise of Black people after slavery. More sophisticated methods had to be
employed to keep the Black man down. One of the most effective tools, which we
will deal with in later articles, was the institution of “sharecropping”
which TSR-II so eloquently and completely exposes from its root in Talmudic
law to its devastating implementation in the cotton South, Black Belt.
Before leaving this aspect of the Black Codes, information presented in the
TSR-II brings up two points: 1. The Southern Jews knew what they were doing
when aiding the Gentiles on the establishment of these Black Codes and 2. They
had the power to get these laws passed.
Many of the Jews in America from 1865 to 1910 were recent immigrants from
Russia where a form of discrimination against Jewish business practices were
established because the Gentile Russians felt that “…the Jews must be
discriminated against because the Russians are not able to compete with them on
equal terms.” (p. 418) So the immigrant Russian Jews instead of insuring the
freedom for Blacks to participate on an equal basis with whites, they opted to
promote the disenfranchisement of the Blacks in politics and the crippling of
Blacks in business.
We quote now from the TSR-II page 110 entitled “The Speech That Ended
Black Rights in America”. This speech was given by a Jewish Louisiana
congressman, William M. Levy on March 1, 1877 to Congress:
He said that Black emancipation caused “despair and danger” and
further claimed that Louisiana’s “innocent maidens” and “helpless
infants” were in imminent peril. “I hold it my sacred duty,” he said,
to save Louisiana’s whites “from the ruin and degradation which threaten
them” and to “reliev[e] my beloved State from the bondage which
oppresses and enslaves her.” (p. 110)
Mr. Levy later became a member of the Louisiana State Constitutional
Convention that in 1879 enshrined Jim Crow discrimination as the law of the
land. To call someone a “racist” you must first prove intent to harm and
then ability to do so. Mr. Levy showed intent and had legislative power. He was
indeed a racist and very anti-Black. “The Secret Relationship Between Blacks
and Jews, Volume 2” does not stop with Mr. Levy as proof of the Jewish
involvement in the breaking of the spirit of Black people. It goes on to site
many other cases of this type of behavior which has been kept a secret in the
history textbooks that cover this era of America’s continued terrorism against
the psyche of a whole people.
Minister Farrakhan has correctly identified these wise Jews as sentinels
stationed at the grave or burial place of Black people to warn the other whites
when the “dry bones” begin to stir in the Black community. Many whites may
actually believe that Black people are inferior, so whites would not need to
discriminated against them to win. However, Minister Farrakhan has pointed out
that these wise Jews know the history of the Black man and therefore know that
they were not dealing with an inferior but a superior, who must be kept down at
all costs. Therefore we can now say that the white Jew taught the white Gentile
that “…the Blacks must be discriminated against because the white Americans
are not able to compete with them on equal terms.”
