In 1963,
Governor George Wallace stood at the entrance of the University of Alabama to
impede 2 Black students from attending their first day of class, and in that
way making good on his pledge of “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and
segregation forever!” Click on the following link to watch him say that: https://youtu.be/6C-kBVggFrs

Those were
among the many challenges that the United States (US) faced when formal legal segregation
ended in the South due to its Supreme Court decision in the Brown vs. Board of
Education Case. Those segregation laws were known as Jim Crow Laws. They
existed from the end of the Civil War to the court’s decision and the birth of
the Civil Rights Movement.
In Professor
Daniel Immerwahr’s new book, “The hiding of an Empire”, he says that US
imperialism did not begin with the American – Spanish War of 1898. The United
States Government’s (USG) had already embarked in colonialism through its
Northwest Ordinances. These ordinances required that every new territory must
be populated with a majority of Whites before it could be admitted into the
Union. Therefore, from the very beginning, the USG was on a premeditated path
to becoming an empire. Click here to watch an interview with the author of the
book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvlUGYvLg0s
All nations
that become empires believe that they are superior to others. If one listens to Dr. Martin Luther King’s
speeches, you will notice that by 1967 he realized that US racism was more
ingrained into its national fabric than he thought at the time of his historic
“I have a Dream” speech in Washington DC.
The only
thing people of good will could do is to engage in permanent resistance to
force the USG to comply with the United Nations’(UN) Charter that prohibits
colonialism since 1945 (9 years before the US Supreme Court prohibiting racial
segregation), and the 37 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto
Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
Get involved,
because those who willfully become a hidden empire, don’t believe in LIBERTY AND
IN JUSTICE FOR ALL! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1697349163904877/
