	<description><![CDATA[<div>NO GOVERNMENT PROGRAM IS COMING TO SAVE US! It&#039;s time to take ownership of one&#039;s own life. This is still the land of opportunity. People sit around puzzled when immigrants come to this country and prosper. There is no magic potion and its not simply tax breaks, it has more to do with mindset. For those that tune their eyes it is obvious the opportunity that we&#039;re all surrounded by-perception is everything. There are mechanisms in place where people combine their resources and as they duplicate this process they create WEALTH! These are things that Dems and Repubs lightly touch on, if at all, but it&#039;s a proven process for helping people become Financially FREE while in my company people are getting wealthy and healthy at the same time. DON&#039;T WAIT UNTIL YOU NEED YOUR WELL BEFORE YOU START TO DIG! Today your job is secure and tomorrow you could get a pink slip but if you build supplemental residual income now it won&#039;t matter what your boss does--invest 3-5yrs doing what others won&#039;t do and then you&#039;ll be positioned to do what they can&#039;t do for the rest of your life.

	<description><![CDATA[<p>When people understand the Internal Solidarity Statement they will immediately recognize that as a group OccupyHouston has begun a legitimate process of Truth and Reconciliation for all of the catagories listed, including  Discrimination based on Age, on Class, on Culture, on Disability, on Experiences with the Justice System, on Gender, on Hetero-Normativity, on Homo-Phobia, on Immigration Status, on Race, on Religious or Non-religious Intolerance, on Trans-Phobia, and Discrimination based on Weight.</p>
<p>However, if I had introduced any of the other catagories as a topic of discussion would I have received the same sort of vehement opposition as was seen when I introduce the catagory of Race and specifically addressing how White Supremacy impacts each particular catagory?</p>
<p>I have been told how the subject of White Supremacy is divisive, over-broad and offensive by many White People while many other White People agree that we should understand what White Supremacy is and how it works in all areas, including Economics, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex and War.</p>
<p>My sister asked why would I bring up such a topic in the OccupyMovement.  As an attorney she believe that the topic is inflammatory and not conducive to a peaceful dialogue given the nature of our fragmented society.  My only thoughts were "If not now….when.  Why put off for tomorrow that which needs to be done today?"  My sister&#039;s concern was mostly for my personal safety but not the safety of the nation as a whole.  In a way, she was suggesting to me that discussing White Supremacy as the only functional Racism in America could be dangerous.  Her emotions may had blinded her sense of logic and reasoning abilities even though I may be incorrect.</p>
<p>Yet, how many people thought about the injustices  produced by the occupation of indigenous people&#039;s land, by the enslavement of generations of children and  by the restrictions of civil rights before people finally acted to produce Justice in those areas?  Should those pioneers of Liberty have waited for a more appropriate time or did they prove that times appointed by themselves were essential to those paradigms?</p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>As long as the injustice produced by White Supremacy Racism exists, any White Person who is ABLE to practice White Supremacy Racism is a Racist Suspect.</p>
<p>How can people resolve problems in areas such as Economic, Education, Entertainment, Labor, Law, Politics, Religion, Sex and War by undermining the greatest effects from the practice of White Supremacy Racism in all of those areas? Such an attempt is a waste of time and resource.</p>
<p>“Burning The Race Card”, means to do away with the social meaning of skin color, thereby abolishing RACE as a social category.  A few hundred years ago, people with ‘fair’ skin classified themselves based upon lack of color or ‘white’ skin. Those newly defined or self-proclaimed “White People” then went on to classify ALL OTHER People as not White or “Non-White” People. Also the smartest and most powerful of all White People {White Power Racist Elite} began the historic practice of subjugating people based upon color or lack of color which has led to the production of the greatest injustices and mistreatment of ALL people that the world has ever known under White Supremacy Racism {the only functional practice of Racism}.</p>
<p>White Supremacy (Racism) is an incorrect system that promotes injustice. Any person who willfully helps to establish, maintain, expand , and/or refine a condition of White Supremacy, and/or, who does, does not, at all times, strive to speak and/or act against this condition, is a CRIMINAL, and/or and AGENT of criminals.</p>
<p>All “comforts” that come to any white person as a direct or indirect result of the practice of White Supremacy (Racism) are “comforts” UNJUSTLY RECEIVED.</p>
<p>All persons who directly or indirectly practice White Supremacy are EQUAL TO EACH OTHER in that practice. This is true because each individual act of Racism is interrelated with all other acts of Racism. This means that all White persons who practice Racism in ANY form are equally as guilty as those White persons who practice Racism in ALL FORMS. Racist Man and Racist Woman, by functioning as the White Nation (White Supremacists, collectively) and by acting to maintain, expand, and/or refine the existence of Racism, have, more than any other creature in the known universe, “violated” the “natural” Law of Compensation. By doing so, they have deliberately forced and/or directed all other creatures---particularly non-white people---to do the same.</p>
<p>To put away this valid suspicion by Victims of White Supremacy, some would suggest a Truth and Reconciliation Process as utilized in post-apartheid South Africa should also be used en route to a point in the American experience where and when the divisiveness created by the Power Elite of Racism White Supremacy might be extinguished. The precedent of “Burning The Race Card” should be set today.</p>
