PRECISE SCIENTIFIC INQUIRIES NEEDED

PETRI DISH PRECISION INQUIRIES The United States of America 's 50 unique states represent 50 singular opportunities for interested groups or persons to experiment, to investigate--using "petri-dish" scientifically precise methods--the viability of certain aspects of American democracy, trade, commerce , arts, crafts , health, education , religion, law, as applied to still-deprived African Americans. African Americans would be the focus, not the subjects, nor objects, of these demonstrative undertakings. Previously, a series of marketing researchers, political parties, government agencies, universities, companies, had cursorily investigated how best to dominate, to exploit, to sell items to our long captive, long-befuddled, but blessed, people. What they looked for, fissures, deficiencies, they invariably found, given the nation's slave-history. Rather than what lies above, what lies below the sociological surface of the majority of African American people, may best reveal the most ameliorative means to cure, to rehabilitate, to resurrect the toughest cases of socially despondent African American "remnants", now-called criminal ,"at risk" other names. Tougher stains require stronger astringents beyond popular name, common brands. Hence, I call for socially scientific inquiries, investigations by those whose aims are redemption! 

HOMER G. PHILLIPS AND LLOYD GAINES

https://blackpast.org/aah/phillips-homer-g-1880-1931 This prominent black man, a Howard University, Bison brother, Homer G. Phillips, Esq., was murdered in broad open daylight on a street,in June 1931, in St. Louis. No one was ever prosecuted although two men (race not specified) were quickly arrested and released for lack of evidence by prosecutors. He had successfully steered a $1 million dollar bond issue that he had promoted toward the construction of a black hospital, as originally promised, rather than for a white one, as certain others had wanted. His yet unsolved murder reminds me of the "disappearance" of Lloyd Gaines in 1939, after his U.S. Supreme Court-ordered admission to segregated, University of Missouri School of Law.

UNIVERSAL CHRIST

Night and day are not limited to Christians, nor sun and rain; neither is Jesus Christ.

REV. DR. CAIN HOPE FELDER

OVER 20 YEARS AGO, I HAD VISITED AN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF BIBLE SCHOLARS HELD HERE IN KC. AS I WAS LEAVING, WALKING UP THE SIDEWALK, I ESPIED A GROUP OF BROTHERS WALKING TOWARD ME, STUDYING ME AS INTENTLY, AS I HAD BEEN THEM. ONLY LATER DID I REALIZE THAT THE GROUP I PASSED HAD INCLUDED THE GREAT DR. CAIN HOPE FELDER, EDITOR OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN BIBLE, PUBLISHED BY DR. JAMES W. PEEBLES! I HAD THAT VERY INIMITABLE BIBLE IN MY BRIEF CASE AT THAT VERY TIME, AMONG SEVERAL OTHERS. THE SPIRIT HAD URGED ME TO SPEAK OUT! BUT I REPRESSED THE URGE TO MY DETRIMENT AND SHAME. I HAVE IMPROVED THAT DEFECT, NOW, BY GOD'S GRACE AND MERCY.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cain_Hope_Felder

REALPOLITICK

AMERICAN REALPOLITIK Not only has American realpolitik historically extracted the worst of Roman slavery, the worst of Greek democracy, the worst of Egypt's ancient civilization's values to make American politics and culture: but it has invented, perfected, its own brand of racism that is encoded in its religion, trade, and constitution to assure suppression of Africans, even to the point of deputizing individual non-"slave holders" as accomplices, expediters, at the pain of legal monetary sanctions.

ALMOST A NONPROFIT

I ALMOST BECAME A NONPROFIT During the latter period of my law practice , I was sorely tempted to convert it into a not-for-profit, public interest-type of law firm, given the character of my cases. I had been largely a lawyer of last resort, anyway ; which means that those with the money sought those with money, before seeking me, in the ordinary course of things, but there were exceptions! Praise God! It also means that the costs of my small plaintiffs' law practice had so steadily increased over my 23 years' of private solo practice that, literally, the earth had moved from beneath me. When one throws in the changes in the law, costs of litigation, and in the insurance companies' underwriting and settling dispositions, what had once been lucrative, then profitable then became unprofitably unwieldy drudgery, not exciting nor uplifting. But, before I could carry it out--my nonprofit law firm transformation--I stroked out, became permanently disabled, and was rescued by God from the practice of law, and into the realm of public comment and reflections, which, truth be known, I much prefer to the law practice !

"CURSE OF HEAVEN"

"Slavery was the original sin in which the nation was conceived. Gouverneur Morris and Rufus King knew it, and said so. John Dickinson and William Livingston knew it; they freed their slaves. The delegates who belonged to abolition societies--Franklin, Hamilton , Livingston --certainly knew it. Oliver Ellsworth , who steadfastly stood by his Southern allies, reminded the delegates that if the matter were viewed 'in a moral light,' then every slave should be freed; he knew it. Roger Sherman called the slave trade iniquitous; he knew it. Each of these ambivalent Virginians --Mason and Madison and Randolph and the General himself--all knew it. The men from South Carolina surely knew it. Charles Pinckney said he would vote against the slave trade within his own state; John Rutledge would not discuss the morality of slavery, an argument he knew he could only lose .... "When southern guns fired on Fort Sumter in April 1861, a grandson of John Adams wrote in his diary, 'We the children of the third and fourth generation are doomed to pay the penalties of the compromises made by the first.'" P. 204, 206, "The Curse of Heaven ," THE SUMMER OF 1787 by David O. Stewart (2007)
