USE OF MILLION MAN MARCH $FUNDS
USE OF THE FUNDS RAISED WITH THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILLION MAN MARCH
by H. Khalif Khalifah
Dr. Ron Walters is right to call for us Black men, women and children to contribute $100 each to a Fund for use by the National Black Community - or Black Nation. He is wrong to suggest that the fund be diffuse amongst a variety of groups, and other civil rights organizations.
With the great issue of Reparations squarely in the body politic of the United States of America - and to a limited extent, throughout the world, the only thing needed at this point to get Black reparations is a focused effort by the some fifty million black people in the United States. A war chest of $100 million dollars concentrated and targeted for maximum effect would do the be used to underwrite the cost to prosecute our case for Reparations for “The Crime Against Humanity.”
Such a "war chest" will be used to mount a serious attack against ignorance - not the ignorance of school children who are not learning in the public school systems, but targeted against the mounting ignorance regarding the true definition of what reparations really is.
There are many ignorances that could be addressed with such a "war chest for black reparations." But the true definition of what Reparations really is, is the paramount ignorance that threatens our efforts to secure the resources to heal ourselves for our victimization in the “Crime.”
Other targeted programs for the "war chest for black reparations" would be to fund the N'COBRA (The National Coalition of Blacks For Reparations in America)." As the leading advocate in the prosecution for this Great Issue, N'COBRA would use the funds to continue to build the structure and model institutions that must be in place, for maximum effect, when the Reparations is, in fact, paid.
N’COBRA WILL BE FUNDED & STAFFED
Presently, N'COBRA is still a volunteer staff of individuals, working part-time to carry forth this major effort. With funding from the "war chest for black reparations" it could be staffed with dedicated individuals whose sole source of income would derive from the service it renders to the building of the structure that will receive our reparations. Of course, this structure consists of independent black institutions.
N'COBRA would be paid the lion’s share of funding for its work. But there are other lesser known advocates for reparations that also need funding so they can focus their efforts. These are groups like the newly formed NBPRA (The National Black Reparations Alliance).
The NBPRA is an alliance of individuals and groups whose service is within the structure of N’COBRA. But like other individuals and formations under this vast ‘tent’ called N’COBRA, NBPRA has its own voice and mission. NBPRA is more narrowly focused on the groupings within the great issue. That is, they are advocates for the three choices that must be offered to Black people who receive their reparations (1) The Black people who will receive their reparations but will elect to remain in the United States as full citizens (2) The Black people who will elect to take their reparations and move back to Africa of elsewhere and (3) Black people who will take their reparations and move into the deep southern states, within the united states and form the Black state IF the plebiscite of the people living there decide that is what they want to do.
The above words are my feeling regarding how money collected at the 10th Anniversary for the Million Man March should be used. It should be concentrated and focused on the needs of the Great Issue of Reparations.
During the 1990's, N'COBRA leaders, like myself, used our own personal fortunes to "build a movement that cannot be ignored. To champion a cause too important to be forgotten." We did the job using our own resources. But the requirements to move the Great Issue to the action stage require more effort and resources than volunteers, part time at that, can render to this great struggle to heal ourselves, in this generation.

Since blacks were the ones who originally enslaved their own people, I believe reparations are due. Africa should be made to pay all blacks (still living) who were enslaved by their African cousins.
Another problem is the black I.Q. which currently stands at an average of 85. Blacks should be given free reading lessons, learn what the word "ax" really means.
Whites should also be paid for the cost of the Civil War which freed the blacks. Not sure what to do with the blacks who owned slaves during the Civil War... you figure that one out.
You have got to be joking or brain dead. If you want some thing sugar is better than poison. You must trick the non blacks into thinking you are a reasonable human how cares for the plight of all mankind. It you kick in global warming then Al Gore will be on your side (of course he will not like giving up his state to the reasonable black peoples. Just a thought!!!
