OccupyHouston is a leaderless group. However, issues of People of Color has been and are being marginalized by the concerns of other participants.  People of Color have been asked to go back to our respective communities and request from those communities more participation from  Asian, African American, Latino, Native American and Hispanic people.

We can not, however, do this as long as we feel that we are being marginalized by others.  That would be disingenuous and disrespectful to the legacies all of our communities.  The People of Color Caucus will encourage open dialogue and sincere debate to express our concerns democratically.  We reserve the right as did other Groups to meet privately if we are concerned about any further marginalization.  As People of Color, we refuse to be relegated or confined to the lower or outer limits of OccupyHouston.

To the moderators and administrators of this OccupyHouston Forum please assign People of Color Caucus to an appropriate venue similar to way that the Women's Group has been presented on the OccupyHouston Forum.

Thank you and keep up the good work,

Don't let the Blue People (or "Bluey" as Shitsata collectively refers to them) participate, they suck.

I am not understanding all this code talk

bobdelfino, I have never referred to anyone as tonyiomma announced.

when tonyiomma states, "Shitsata ", this is an exhibition of the Anal-fecal phase of development.

ANAL  phase.  This stage is of the greatest significance to our study. Certain nuclear ideas, such as those revolving about the concepts of dirt and property, take hold of the personality during this stage of development, and remain throughout life associatively linked to the idea of excrement. Thus, to the child, dirt corresponds to that which is hated in his excremental activities. This becomes symbolically generalized to include anything which can be associated with what comes out of the body, and which hence should not return back into the body. On the other hand, property is considered to be the loved part of his excrement, the part he wishes to take back into himself or to give to those he loves, Excrement becomes the unconscious link in later life between these notions;  hence filthy lucre.

The anal phase is so important in discussing racism because anality is the form of drive behavior which predominates during that time when a child is painfully detaching himself from his mother and establishing himself as a separate person. In this light, excrement —what is expelled from the body—becomes symbolically associated with the ambivalent feelings a child has about his separation from his mother and the establishment of himself as an autonomous person.  Dirt becomes, then, the recipient of his anger at separation; while the love of what has been separated from him. Since racism involves the ‘separate’ ness of people, so must it become invested with anal fantasies.

If he is a white American, it is likely that he will then find an outlet for some of his infantile fantasies about dirt, property, power and sexuality, in his culture’s racism.  "—–white racism: a psychohistory by joel kovel.

promentalshitbackwashpsychosisenemasquad…….betta known as the doodoo chasers. Can't think of nothing but excrement.

Also, bobdelfino, the Katie 'character' is very interesting as well.  When it states:

"I would like a subforum supporting diversity….oh….well….guess we already have that, but there is not much interest there.",

the controlling, Katie 'character',  is defending the notion of "Left colorblindess is the enemy"

- Left colorblindness is the belief that race is a “divisive” issue among the 99%, so we should instead focus on problems that “everyone” shares. According to this argument, the movement is for everyone, and people of color should join it rather than attack it.

Albeit, none of the characters are bold enough to confront the issues that I bring forth publicly at the 'leaderless' General Assembly.

….Or any seperate but equal General Assembly that they would determine.  I would debate any of these 'messengers' anytime but I would prefer their puppetmasters instead of puppets.

All of the negative respondants are afraid of the public process so they will continue to hide here from logic and reasoning. 

bobdelfino, the silly part of all of this is that they assume that I would consider them to be smart and powerful like the White Supremacist Racist even though they are not the smartest and most powerful. The are merely pawns in the Race Game like  most guilt ridden and internally oppressed people who classify themselves as White People.

White Supremacist Racist {White Power Elite 1%}would not waste time here or around people of color so they send their 'prison guards' {White People who are powerless to produce Justice} to look over the inmates {Non-White People}. 

Ask those prison guards just how often do they socialize with the White Power Elite or how often does the Queen of England accept their 'blood' transfusions/offerings?  What nerve they have to suggest to Non-White People that they are fighting the Powers that Be when they are only seeking to rearrange the 'bandwagon' of 'withe' privilege? 

The Good White People are RaceTraitor has it right when they proclaimed that "Treason to Whiteness is Loyalty to Humanity"………..but they call me a hater cause I'm a lover and not a fighter of their ways and means.  None of these characters can look me in my eyes and front like they are fronting here.  I am waiting……..for The Leaderless Movement that is willing and able to OWS, OccupyWhiteSupremacy.

Du Bois used the term "the talented tenth" to describe the likelihood of one in ten black men becoming leaders of their race in the world, through methods such as continuing their education, writing books, or becoming directly involved in social change. He strongly believed that blacks needed a classical education to be able to reach their potential, rather than the industrial education promoted by the Atlanta compromise which was endorsed by Booker T. Washington and some white philanthropist. He saw such an education as the basis for what, in the 20th century, would be known as public intellectuals.

In his later life, W.E.B. Du Bois came to believe that leadership could arise from many levels, and grassroots efforts were also important to social change. His stepson David Du Bois tried to publicize those views, writing in 1972: "Dr. Du Bois’ conviction that it’s those who suffered most and have the least to lose that we should look to for our steadfast, dependable and uncompromising leadership."

Du Bois writes in his Talented Tenth essay that black Americans must develop “the Best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst.” Later in Dusk of Dawn, Du Bois re-articulates this notion. He writes that “my own panacea of earlier day was flight of class from mass through the development of the Talented Tenth; but the power of this aristocracy of talent was to lie in its knowledge and character, not in its wealth.”

Katie, Dr. Martin Luther King was one of those "Talented" ones……..who should never bite the hand of the one who is feeding that 'talent'.  Control does have limitations.

See you at GA.

P.S. , Katie, what did I say to you specifically that offended you or are you just offended about the discussion of White Supremacy Racism?   Others may wonder so please explain yourself.

Katie said"And you are already fully aware we still can not see your face well enough to identify you, so you are basically disguising yourself as an Olmec avatar….with apparently as primitive of ideas.

Perhaps we can simply call you Olmec."

We???????

Lol

I just 'reported' the above post, so you don't have to

Oooo you're tough girl! You reported him! lol Please stop talking you debate like a 13 year old girl. I agree that seshata's post are a little discrimative to white people but there are more mature and effective ways of addressing this. And Im sure if this post wasnt attacked from the moment it was posted we could have all had a more open discussion on how white people are as well discriminated against. I dont think he posted this to say 'fuck whitey' but to address that there are incidences that needs to be address. I just dont agree that it should be address in a sub group for the race issues AND the womens issues. If there is a problem with race at the occupations then there should be meetings for this were whites, blacks, spanish, arabic, etc can express openly with each other how they feel and give there opinions on what we can do to create a greater bond so we can work at these problems TOGETHER not seperatley. Going off into our own little groups and voluntairely segregating ourselves is not going to bring us together. The more open we are with each other about being against racism the more the racist individuals you speak of will feel isolated.
