Believe it or not, Jesse is not the only black person who feels this way, deep down. Forget about white folks, we're afraid of ourselves. And as far as I'm concerned, the amount of fear and distrust we harbor in the black community towards one another is justified to an extent (i.e., black-on-black crime).

And you don't know how much I hate saying what I just said, but it's true.

Like I said earlier white folk turned the world upside down. It was just 40-50 years ago that it was white folk we where supposed to be scared of because they would do all types of horrible things to us including lynch, whip, beat, mutilate, burn, and kill us and that is not even the end of it. But somehow it is no longer white people we are supposed to be scared of it is each other. Never even wondering what the caused the sudden change and letting this whole system that is constantly attacking us in more ways than just violence off the hook.

In the South, blacks still are deeply on guard against white folk. This is why blacks are more together back South than in the North & the West.

The North was and is even more so today, more mafia like. Verty racist but very covert about it: accidents, railroading, games, etc. The north smiles in your face and pretends racism is just about a few nuts over there. The South runs around waving Confederate flags & honoring Confederate "heroes" (meaning: pro-slavery), moaning about "the good ole days," talking about "we" need to get a rope, etc.

Every Soutern brother knows, if Hitler had taken over here and wanted to exterminate black folk, white people in Louisiana would pour in the money to build the gas chamber and openly proclaim it to be "The Lord's will."

Of all the slave states, Louisiana seems to be the one trying the hardest to turn back the clock. It is no mere coincidence that the slave states happen to be the red states which also happen to be the Bible Belt states. Anytime you stir up racism, politics, and religion in the same pot you end up with a hot steaming mess of pure evil.

I forgot what that sign meant. Please reinlighten me.

Before you take this comment and run with it, let me state, for the record, that I am by no means saying that it is ALL GOOD for black people in LA because racism is alive and well everywhere in America--just take a look at the Rodney King, LA riot situation or the current crop of LAPD officers who invade our neighborhoods. My point was that a lack of exposure breeds ignorance.

BTW....I don't even like oreos...or camping.

I live in Los Angeles and have lived in the South. I know exactly what you are talking about.

The guy could barely even get the words out straight (I'm positive he wasn't suffering from some sort of speech impediment). I looked him in the eyes and asked what he was afraid of. He turned red in the face and almost choking, he said "nothing" although fear was all over his face.

It's more than likely thinking in stereotypes that causes this, but common sense should tell people that not everyone will fit their race's respective stereotypes. After all, when I see a bunch of white people I don't think "He's a racist, she's a racist and that one over there is quite possibly a KKK member".

What are people afraid of? Do they think we're going to eat them or something? FYI I'm 20 and this isn't the first time this has happened but it frustrates me to no end everytime it does.

First, you are talking about an individual at EB Games and not an entire race of people. You said this has happened to you before, but you never said that it happens EVERYTIME you are out and about which leads me to believe that not everyone you encounter hates you.

Maybe that individual was just a scary person.

Helen Keller came up with the idea that the two extended fingers should be used as the deaf sign for I Love You. But, turn it around 180 degrees and you get the F-you sign. One has to wonder where Keller was really trying to go with that ...

Long before Keller made it part of deaf sign language, the same sign was being used in satanic worship rituals. The two extended fingers are symbolic of the horns which various myths claim are on the head of Lucifer. Notice the horns in this picture of Satan from 13th century Europe's Devil's Bible which is now stored in the National Libray of Sweden:



Long before the 13th century, pagans had cooked up various myths regarding a deified goat. Hence, the two extended fingers are a throw back to ancient European myths associating the horns on a goat's head with the devil.





Some say the same sign is also a secret Illuminati signal.

Go to any rock concert, and at some point, you will see head bangers flashing the same sign. They have no idea what they are doing, they are just mimicing what they have been programmed to do -- such is the power of suggestion upon weaker minds.



A disclaimer on my part is required here, I think. The devil, Satan, Lucifer, is NOT a sentient being who hangs out in a subterrean furnace. The devil is the spirit of wickedness in our world which draws man away from embracing his intrinsic divine nature. Beasts such as Bush use the sign so often, not because they necessarily literally worship Satan as a being, but because such unenlightened men perceive the ways of war, hate, racism, torture, and religious hypocrisy as "to be desired to make one wise".

to my understanding, the 2 finger sign meant the bull horns of texas. since bush is from texas and he supports the texas longhorn team, he and everybody else that lives in texas throws up that sign to support texas.

And, white preachers have a looong history of being at the heart of the bigotry.

I am going to cover a lot of ground in this message, But, for those who endure until the end, I am going to suggest a possible reason for why they are afraid of us which has not yet been discussed.

Yes. It is also a sign for Longhorn fans. But, what are the odds that Ahmadinejad is into Texas sports?



And, remember clueless Dan Quayle? He was from Indiana, not Texas. You know, once I started writng in this flow, I realized that I see white people making this sing all the time.



Be forewarned that there is a whole other, hidden, mystery to much of what goes on in the world around us. Anyone who has sat thru a few roman catholic rituals, with their third eye open, knows exactly what I am talking about. There is what we are told a symbol is supposed to mean. And, then, there is the real meaning which often dates back to long before the first century AD generation of the historical Jesus.

The back of a US one dollar bill has several of these dual meaning symbols. Again, it is worth repeating, there is a whole other world behind and beyond what most mortals perceive to be the real world.



The Rise of a Black Messiah
Since this thread is supposed to be about why people are afraid of us, let's talk about the particular anti-black fear of one particular white guy -- J. Edgar Hoover:

"Prevent the RISE OF A "MESSIAH" who could unify, and
electrify, the militant black nationalist movement. Malcolm X might have
been such a "messiah;" he is the martyr of the movement today. Martin
Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and Elijah Muhammed all aspire to this
position. Elijah Muhammed is less of a threat because of his age. King
could be a very real contender for this position should he abandon his
supposed "obedience" to "white, liberal doctrines" (nonviolence) and embrace
black nationalism. Carmichael has the necessary charisma to be a real
threat in this way."

Where did this fear come from of the rise of a black messiah? Well, that goes back to the aforementioned mystery of many of the symbols all around us. Take the book of Revelations, for instance. When white folks taught us christianity back on the plantation, they gave us many symbols of Jesus, Mary, and Father God. And, all of those images were as white as the driven snow.

But, those who study world religions and myths know that hellenic christianity is a corruption of myths which date back to before the birth of the historical Jesus. Hence, every now and then, in the bible, you run across verses that white folks forgot to whitewash. For instance, when you read the first chapter of Revelations, you find that the coming messiah is described as having hair like wool and feet like brass burned in a furnace. Now, I have seen a few white folks with hair like wool. But, I ain't never seen one with feet that looked like brass burned in a furnace.

The Evil Doers of Armageddon
Me, personally, I think it is a mistake to take Revelations literally. But, literally is exactly how Europe does takes their religion. White folks are a lot of things. But, most of them ain't stupid. They know their current reign of white supremacy can not last forever. And, it does not take a PhD to figure out that the Babylon, the one world order, spoken of in Revelations bares a stunning resemblance to the current age of Euro-dominance. Even white evangelists know this, even though they aren't admitting it in public. Hence, for years now, TV evangelists have been saying that Russia, perhaps aligned with China, is going to be leading the armies of the Antichrist during the war of Armageddon.

But, look at a map of Europe and what you will find is that the possible birthplace of white folks, the Caucausus steepes, borders Russia. It is the sons of Japheth, Europeans --- not Africans, not Latin Americans, not Asians, and not Muslims -- who biblical prophecy, taken literally, IDs as the forefront of Satan's armies during the war of Armageddon.

Rev.20:7-8
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Ezek.39:6
And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ezek.38:2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him ...

Gen.10:2
The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.

Is He the One?
So, perhaps, maybe, subconsciously, deep within their cultural asili, whites fear black people because they are wondering which one of us is going to end up being the Messiah, with hair like wool and feet like burnt brass, who their bible says is going to destroy the armies of what Daddy Bush, as the Leader of the Free [code for White] world, from the grounds of the White House [yet another of those symbols with dual meaning], called the New World Order [Babylon --- aka, the Great Satan].

Now, does all this not cause one to rethink the possible hidden meaning behind a sign, commonly used in Satanist rituals, being so often flashed by the leader of the Free/White World, George W. Bush, an initiated member of Skull and Bones, a man who has ordered more people to their deaths than any other man currently walking on two legs, a man who once bragged about being a war president, a man who, as governor of Texas, once grinned and made a joke out of the lethal injection death of a female inmate, a man who, as would the Father of Lies, thought nothing of lying to the entire world to wage one of his wars, and a man to whom, I am sure, Satan, appearing as an angel of light, speaks to all the time:

"George, my son in whom I am well pleased, invade Afghanistan."
"George, disciple whom I love, occupy Iraq."
"George, Prince of Persia, bomb Somalia."
"George, Azazel, make sure you nuke Iran before that black guy takes your job."
