November 2nd Black Out
2007-10-18
WARREN BALLENTINE “THE PEOPLE’S ATTORNEY” IS CALLING FOR ALL AFRICAN AMERICANS TO PARTICIPATE IN A NATIONAL BLACKOUT”
WHO: Warren Ballentine “The People’s Attorney” and radio “Truth Fighter” is calling for a National Blackout throughout America, on Friday, November 2, 2007.
WHAT: Attorney Ballentine is calling for a National Blackout that is necessary for African Americans, and is long over due. Especially with all the present injustices that are being allowed and accepted in America right now. From the situation with Mychal Bell and the Jena 6, Genarlow Wilson, Megan Williams, and all of the nooses being hung all over America lately. Until we have federal legislation in place regarding these hate crimes, as African Americans we need to band together to show our “Economic Power” by refusing to spend ANY money that day from fast food restaurants to gas. More on Jena 6 www.JENA6TV.com.
WHY: As African Americans we spend an estimated 715 billion dollars a year, and if we were to stop spending for one day that is 2 billion dollars that will not in the system.However, we ask that you don’t make a mad dash to the stores days prior or on the days following. If the stores have a major increase in sales right before or right after the Blackout than we will not create the impact we are striving for.
WHEN & Friday, November 2, 2007

You call yourself "Truthfighter"... does that mean you are fighting against the truth? You want the truth? Here is is:
Black people (men, women, and children) make up ONLY about 12% of the USA, which logically makes "crime-age" black men ONLY about 6% of the US population, but somehow only 6% of the population commits over 50% of all murders, over 32% of all rapes, over 56% of all robberies, and over 34% of all aggravated assaults in the USA.

When viewing the stats linked above, be aware that the FBI and USDOJ count "latinos / hispanics / Mexicans / etc" as being WHITE, which unfairly raises the reported "white crime rate" much higher than it actually is. Most Police Departments in the USA also do the same thing. Don't believe me? Check out the Sex Offender page of the Grand Prairie, Texas (a large suburb of Dallas) Police Department. Every "latino / hispanic / Mexican" is categorized as being "white".

"Black Americans accounted for 13 percent of the U.S.
population in 2005 ...but were the victims of 49 percent of all homicides. Among single victim-single offender homicides, about 93 percent of black victims were murdered by black offenders."
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/bvvc.htm
"Blacks were victims of an estimated 805,000 nonfatal violent crimes and of about 8,000 homicides in 2005."
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that 93% of those 8,000 black people killed in 2005 were killed BY OTHER BLACKS.
------------------------
Much has been made about the percieved threat that blacks feel from whites regarding noose-hangings lately.
What do you make of these following facts? This comes from "The History of Lynching In The United States", a class at The University of Massachusetts.
http://www.umass.edu/complit/aclanet/ACLAText/USLynch.html
"There are "2805 [documented] victims of lynch mobs killed between 1882 and 1930 in ten southern states. Although mobs murdered almost 300 white men and women, the vast majority - almost 2,500 - of lynch victims were African-American."
----------------------------------
I certainly think that any kind of violence is evil and that racist lynchings are particularly awful.
I do find it intersting that according to the US Government, at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/press/bvvcpr.htm
and
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/bvvc.htm
that at least 8,000 black people were murdered in 2005 alone, and that 93% of the murderers of these black people were black people themselves.
In light of the recent "Jena 6" situation, and the threat that black people have claimed to feel from whites because of it, what do you think about the fact that more black people were murdered by other black people (7,440 people, which is 93% of 8,000) in one year alone, 2005, than were murdered by all the white lynch mobs during the 48 years of 1882 through 1930 combined (about 2,500 people)?
This means that, in only one year, blacks killed almost 3 times the number of blacks than were killed by all the white lynch mobs during the 48 "peak-lynching years" combined!
Therefore, it stands to reason that the real, most dangerous threat to black people these days is not from racist white people or lynchings, but from black people themselves.

OK, since we have examined black-on-black murder, now let's examine interracial murder:
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/tables/ovrelracetab.htm
Total Homicides by Racial Composition of Victims and Offenders
Year - Black on White - White on Black
1996 864 342
1997 760 269
1998 661 293
1999 648 223
2000 640 228
2001 628 220
2002 644 255
2003 673 269
2004 646 284
2005 692 254
------ ------
Average: 686 261
-----------
Using the inter-racial murder stats above, blacks are SIXTEEN TIMES MORE LIKELY to kill whites than whites are to kill blacks, (and also that there is a 93% chance that if a black person is murdered, that his murderer is also black.)
