spiritual connection to God. (MAAFA information supports this claim).

2. For displacement and wars being forcefully taken from their homeland causing them to lose their identity, and made to fight in wars for democracy abroad only to face brutality and injustice upon their return. Both events caused them to lose more than 600 million people and contribute to prolonging the African Holocaust. (The honorable Elijah Muhammad's, "Message to the Black Man" supports this claim)

3. For psychological abuse caused by experiencing centuries of outright repulsive acts, lies and deceit, which goes all the way back to the Nicean Conference and includes the whitewashing of church literature, reflected in the Myth of the Curse of Ham. (Dr. John Henrik Clarke's work supports this claim)

4. For the role the white church played (in aiding) and did not play (in speaking out against) the African Slave Trade. (Mr. Peoples documentation supports this claim)

5. For taking their African culture including their names, languages and families due to suppression and assimilation.

6. For slavery in terms of economics, by withholding their wages and denying them access to the wealth they created, and in terms of legalities, by passing slave laws, codes, policies, restrictive covenants and papers like the Willie Lynch letter and the Bell Curve, causing functional and emotional damage.

7. For environmental racism which left them vulnerable to hazardous conditions in their towns.

8. For discrimination in the practice of preferential treatment upheld by protocols of the status quo.

9. For their stolen legacy, where the rightful people never received credit or compensation for their contributions, which facilitated gross poverty and left them without structure or representation.

10. For the Freedmen's Bank Theft in which millions of dollars and acres of land were stolen from African-Americans back in the 1800's.

11. For the attack on Black Churches from Nat Turner's; to the church in Alabama where they lost four beautiful young girls; to the recent string of church bombings in America.

12. For institutional racism which kept them from establishing a proper infrastructure with ample resources and excluded them from equal access to public services preventing any form of progress.

13. For segregation because most Blacks resided in overcrowded, rodent infested inner-cities that were near toxic areas. They were also victimized by a system building public facilities that were separate but not equal.

14. For dividing and conquering African-Americans using strategies that create and perpetuate a socially and politically disenfranchised people. Constantly infusing social means to keep Black men and women at odds.

15. For violating their Civil Rights, like the last two presidential elections, being forced to accept jobs below their ability to support their family and having distress from unsolved deaths and missing persons in jails and in cities.

16. For the inception of Cointelpro and other government-funded programs that operated out of government agencies that were designed to destroy Black Politicians, Leaders and Organizations.

17. For Genocide by creating and allowing Drugs and Viruses to spread while concealing the cure. Population control aggressively induces devastation through Experiments, Aids, Cocaine, Psychiatric Treatments and other types of legal and illegal acts that harm Blacks. These terrorist acts are also used as fear tactics and for profit.

18. For gross misappropriation of their tax dollars; where billions of dollars are spent annually on military, NASA and international affairs particularly Israel, in addition to unfair allocations for law enforcement agencies and research programs, raising issue with the three branches of government.

19. For the negative image of black and Black people in general created by literature, taught in our schools and evident in society. African-Americans are also misrepresented by motion pictures, music and every other form of mass communication. They should produce works to promote positive images.

20. For the attack on Affirmative-Action and loss of other social programs that came as a result of long hard fighting and sacrifice for equality. This caused gangs, hopelessness, violence and criminal activity to increase.

21. Because concerned White Americans formed two groups, first CURE Caucasians United for Reparations and Emancipation, and second the National Council of Churches who will assist in getting justice for Blacks.
