    May I suggest boycotting Alpine Bank at Union Station?  This way you slingshot two businesses, of which one is more worthy of the slingshot than the other, regarding support of the "Urban Camping Ban" as members of the Downtown Denver Partnership.  It stands to reason that if Tattered Cover is a dues-paying member of the Downtown Denver Partnership, Alpine Bank would be too, though I don't know for sure.  I believe both have branches of their business housed in Union Station.  Viola! Slingshot of two businesses supporting the camping ban.
    Alpine Bank makes me wanna puke nonstop when their never-ending commercials intermittently show up on the airwaves.   The most recent one is DPD Chief Robert White spewing about Alpine Bank Prez who the f___ ever giving kiddos no less than 10$ for an A and 5$ for a “B” at school?  WTH?  How 'bout educating the children for education's sake alone.  F___  the cash baiting for good grades at home.

The fifteen-year anniversary of September 11, 2001, is a good time to reflect on the wanton loss of life – American, Iraqi, Afghani, etc. It is also a good time to reflect upon the calculated use of a “state of emergency” to broaden state authority at the expense of civil liberties. This September as President Obama extends provision 7463, the state of emergency declared by George W. Bush granting him sweeping powers over the military without the consent of congress, civil liberties are also in danger right here in Denver with the city’s recent Temporary Directive. Just as President Bush used the idea of an ever-present terror to push forward his administration’s hawkish agenda, the city of Denver is using the idea of a “heroin epidemic” to justify an unconstitutional directive aimed at keeping homeless people out of public parks.
Last month Denver City Parks and Recreation unveiled a temporary directive that is being rightly called out as a flagrant violation of the United States Constitution. The directive states that a police officer may suspend a person from the Cherry Creek Greenway or any Denver city park if the person is engaged in illegal drug activity. It sounds reasonable; however, upon further investigation the directive reveals itself as an unconstitutional back alley where police can discriminate against whomever they choose. Using the language of emergency, the Parks and Rec department calls for this directive in response to an “epidemic of heroin use.” The city then notes that “[t]he Cherry Creek bike trail and several of our Downtown parks have become hot spots for drug sales and use.” In response to this supposed epidemic, if a police officer deems that a person is engaged in illegal drug activity, they may ban them from the park via a suspension notice. That person does not need to be guilty of any crime in order to be suspended from the park. The city writes, “The person subject to the Suspension Notice need not be charged, tried or convicted of any crime, infraction, or administrative citation in order for the Suspension Notice to be issued or effective.”
Essentially, an officer may for any reason and at their discretion, issue a suspension to certain people who may not thereafter enter the park. The penalty for violation of this directive can be up to $1000 and one year in jail. What this means in practice is that a police officer may ban any person from the park that they decide looks like they are using drugs. If they return they could be put in jail. At that point they would never have been convicted or found guilty of drug use nor been given due process for using illegal drugs. Instead, through this duplicitous “directive” they will be found guilty of trespassing on public property. By issuing a “directive” and suspension “notice,” the park avoids due process and the presumption of innocence, two of the sacred principles of our criminal justice system. Many, such as Henry Grabar from Slate, have pointed out that banning certain activities from parks is constitutional, while banning certain people is not. Because Denver is using civil order to discriminate against people, they avoid the unconstitutionality of banning people from parks through punitive or criminal orders. It is a very slimy way to get out of an ethical shitstorm.
The ethical and constitutional ramifications of this directive are many, none of them palatable. First and foremost, it gives the police absolute power to determine who is and is not allowed in our public parks. As has become clear over the last few years, the police force are often deeply biased against minorities and the poor. Instead of implementing policies aimed at mitigating this bias, the city of Denver has decided to arm the Denver police with the tools to discriminate at will. The Denver police, in fact, are being asked to discriminate against people who look like illegal drug users or drug dealers. The city of Denver, in contempt of the constitution and basic equality, and after the shootings of Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, and many more, has given the Denver police the role of judge, lawyer, and jury.
So why would the city issue a temporary directive to ban drug use from city parks? Is it not already a criminal offense to use illegal drugs anywhere in the city? What is, of course, not legal is to ban certain people from parks based on their race, ethnicity, gender, or socioeconomic status – that would be discrimination. Banning homeless people from the city parks is neither legal nor constitutional, however, Denver is trying to do just that. Which leads us to the crux of this ordinance. Of course anyone following Denver city politics can read the subtext here, the police are being asked, again, by the city of Denver to clear away people who do not have homes. This is not the first such directive in United States cities. Both Portland and Seattle have similar laws aimed at keeping certain people out of parks. They are popularly called “park exclusion laws.” According to the ACLU, half the people who were actually banned from Seattle parks were homeless and almost half were people of color. Denver spent a good part of 2016 removing homeless people from visible places in the city in the so-called “homeless sweeps.” When they asked the police officers “move on to where?” the answer was often and unofficially, go to the river. Now they are being told again through a different policy – move on. The sweeps caused national attention and calls of discrimination, therefore, it is no coincidence that the city of Denver is looking for a different way to target this group – this time under the guise of “drug users,” a term which the average civilian has even less sympathy for. The city of Denver’s policy is to use every legal means to persecute the homeless population by criminalizing their survival, continuously confiscating their belongings, and shuffling them from one location to the next, all the while never seriously considering any long-term housing plan. The message is: Denver is for the affluent. If you are not affluent, you are not a citizen and public space does not belong to you. It doesn’t matter where you go, but leave Denver.

by Gonzo Gates 

​    Many I'm sure don't remember that phrase. Times have changed. We are not hobos we’re homeless. We are no longer considered the bums of old, sticks w/ bandana bundles over shoulders. But we are here.
It is different now.
    Understand this: We do not like our lives to be this way. It depresses us beyond measure and above strength. This is not really an existence: it’s survival, but just barely. Bologna as a daily sustenance. Raise your children on that.
    Some of us and I say “us” as I've been in this environment long enough to call many friends or family. Some chatter wantonly, making sense to no one but self. God only knows; “touched”, as it were.
    We have vets in our population, men and women who risked their lives to protect our constitutional rights. Sadly, the “Right to Rest” is not one of those. It used to be, but the city of Denver robbed us of that. Easily.
And we have cripples. Handicapped.
    And yes, we have ex-cons. The standing joke is: “Come to Colorado on vacation, leave on probation.” It may well soon come to the point where most people here have been introduced to the Colorado Judicial system, one way or another. I am not trying to be funny.
    This is your state.
    You approve of this.
    Or you are ignoring it?
So where is the crime in all of this?
    We all want homelessness fixed. You don't want us in front of you, and I for one don't want to be in your face. Seriously. I love life, it's people I can't stand. People come with opinions. Judgments. Currently, those who are blessed with housing have a tendency to look down their noses at those of us who are homeless. I have to admit that there are many homeless who trash their environment, though, who are constantly drunk and disruptive and think the world owes them everything. Many of us though, we are not that way. We want to rise out of this mire.
But we have become an industry.
    There are so many local, state and federal projects and programs that are ongoing, yet they do not talk to each other. That's a true statement. Rather, a true bank statement. All these programs get as much funding as they can. Yet no accountability.
   There is no communication between programs. There is no accountability for any of them, of what they take in, in donations of any form, and how it's all dispensed. It is a “free for all.” And yet this tourist community supports this. They not only support it, the City of Denver spent $8.1 million to allow the Denver Police Department (DPD) to violate the homeless in a variety of creative ways. We keep getting “tickets” for resting, jaywalking, miscellaneous BS, that we can't possibly afford, crowding the jail and clogging the courts.
And this community approves of this.
    At DRM, you are not allowed to have a water bottle during the night. You have to use the drinking fountain out front if the door is open, which isn't always, even if you're handicapped and can barely get up off your bunk or mat, much less walk. No food is allowed, even if they give it to you during a meal. You are not supposed to carry food. Being street staff, a PC, a mat volunteer, is different: They can eat, drink and be merry, whenever or wherever they want. If a homeless person gets caught with food or a water bottle, they are “barred” for seven days. Into the elements. I know of a homeless man who was ejected for seven days by a PC for a RUMOR that he had eaten food in the dorm, while other PCs were on their bunks eating in the open.
    Dostoyevsky said: “You can judge a civilization by how it treats its prisoners.” How is all this any less? All these public and private donations with absolutely no accountability. Where is all the money going? You will not be able to end homelessness in the next ten years because you have too many people coveting all those donations, and no one is even trying to communicate.
    The answer is simple. If you all work together and cooperate, we might make progress and solve the homeless problems.

    Oh, but then you would lose funding.
         
              Don't you just hate that?        Oh you do.

    The Educator is back and I Mr. Calvin C the said and known triple O.G. have solved the riddle that every human entity has heard of, read, believed in, or spoken of since it (the riddle) was first implemented and promoted and/or promulgated for public cultivation. And that riddle that I Mr. Calvin Calloway aka the Prince of Obfuscation have solved and properly clarified is the one that states Jesus died for your sins.
    Jesus was known as the King of the Jews during the time of his existence. Jesus was the King of the Jews from the standpoint that his significance and intellect was of more value than all other said Jews at the time of his existence in life. Also Jesus’ intelligence was more advanced and substantially creative in value as compared to all other human beings that lived and existed in the time that he (Jesus) died. 
    During Jesus’ time the people asked the said King of the Jews what was truth? (He) Jesus didn’t answer because he (Jesus) knew what he felt was truth and said was the truth then during his existence in time might not be the cultivated truth tomorrow. But what Jesus was trying to change was the culture and trend of the character and views of the whole human race during his time--especially the unethical conduct of the city, county, state and federal governments and the people of the time--which was very similar to that which we find today in the 21st century. 
    Jesus died for your sins, yours meaning the populace that existed during his time from the standpoint that (he) Jesus was fighting against the teaching of the rules and standards and principles and laws which the Roman government implemented for themselves (the government) and all citizens to comply and conform to. Jesus also died for fighting the unethical acts of the citizens by which the Roman government was governing per se at that day and time of his existence--for allowing themselves to be governed unfairly and unjustly and unethically by the then Roman governmental officials. 
    The Educator, Mr. Calvin Calloway aka the Prince of Obfuscation aka the Governor of all Legislatures is going to continue to defy all odds and demonstrate that (he) the Educator as Mr. Calvin C can and will teach all of humanity as the said old dogs new empirically creative types and kinds of tricks both traditional and cultural. Which is what (he) Calvin C the Educator calls his specific methodical and consistent behavior recipe known as a constant reminder that the one cosmic toss of the dice will leave the human structure at large puzzled and non-puzzled at the same time.
    Jesus died for your sins by trying to give you the proper character and views to commit acts and omit acts that are coupled with and paralleled with the essence of what is equal, fair, just, and impartial for all individuals on earth, despite whether this individual is directly involved with your committed acts or omitted acts and whether this individual is a witness or hears tell of your committed acts and omitted acts per se.
    Jesus did not die for your sins for you (the humans) to continue committing sins, crimes and wrongs or for us human beings to just consider ourselves as sinners and just let that concept be the reason for being negligent in our conduct of not being equal, fair, just and impartial when involved with our fellow citizen as if such a way of life and to life is equitably acceptable. 
    I myself Calvin C and the knowledge, wisdom and additional wisdom that I can still acquire is what I have confidence, faith and trust in only. To me there isn’t nothing other than knowledge and wisdom that any human being can truthfully call supernatural. I Mr. Calvin C. aka Mr Anti-bullshit is not one to apologize for statements I make or philosophies which I believe in. But if the former and latter statement offends any human being who reads it or hears of the philosophy in which I am a true believer, please forgive me for being innovative, empirically creative, fanatically disciplined and expanded in thought, like that of the time clock. 
    Please readers, reflect on the nature of those who govern the people in America, and comprehend that today’s circumstances that the people who are being governed are in and experiencing in the 21st century 2015 coincide with the time in which Jesus lived. In other words, the governmental officials’ culture and traditional ways of governing the public at large aren’t equal, fair, just or impartial, which express and imply that (they) the American city, county, state, and federal governmental officials want their cake at the same time desiring to eat it as well. 
    If a citizen commits a crime or social-political ill (they) the general citizen is sanctioned and held accountable and responsible. But if one of the city, county, state or federal governmental officials’ colleagues commit a crime or socio-political crime, their colleagues condone their unethical conduct and be steadfast and loyal to their transgressions and sins by ignoring punishing and sanctioning their colleagues--which doesn’t constitute law enforcement. 
    This is the culture and trend in the 21st century that I Mr Calvin C. aka Prince of Obfuscation is intending to convert and change in order to emerge America’s form back to having true democracy which constitute all of the commonwealth in America is treated equally, fairly, justly and impartially in all circumstances.

    My life was a total mess when I was on the streets of Denver. I had given up on my own will to live, but I decided to keep marching forward because my higher power told me not to give in to the demons of old. So I decided to get off the streets and enter the New Life Program at the Denver Rescue Mission. The whole process I thought was going to be very beneficial for me, so that way I could get back on my feet again. It turned out the Denver Rescue Mission was a sweat shop, a cheap slave labor force I should say. And the people in the program are a cheap “slave” labor force that keeps the place running smoothly. I felt as though I was being taken advantage of, working every day, hardly getting any sleep or help. The help that I received from them was basically a five dollar a week stipend and indoctrination type of teaching telling me and other people how Christianity is the only way, and I can’t question anything about that specific religion.
    I notice a lot of non-profit organizations are corrupt. The funds that go into the mission are a lot, but it seems as if most of it will disappear and vanish in thin air. And then after a while when certain people get suspicious, they invest a small substantial sum into a building or an added room to keep federal officials from investigating corruption within the facility. 
    Getting back to the religion part at the Denver Rescue Mission, The religion aspect gets run down your throat. The Christian religion is taught to the participants in the New Life Program and average Joe who regularly attends the mission. For me and a lot of other people we felt as though the Christians who would give bible lessons were very hypocritical when it came to being open-minded about the Christian God. A lot of other people came into the program with a different religion. Some Muslim, Some Hindus, some Atheist, and some who were Buddhists like me. People who had these different types of belief systems were always told to pretty much give it up because we were being lead by deceiving spirits, and it was choices like that (religion wise) which led us down to the “BROADWAY” of destruction.
    In their rules and regulations it is written that you need to be open-minded about Christianity, and even though I renounced it months before, I was still going to be respectful because these people took me in when I had nothing. But when they began to judge my spirituality which I do believe is the key to true righteousness (and Nirvana), I stopped being open-minded to them, because they stopped being open-minded towards me. 
    So I left because the rules and structure of the place were not helpful to me whatsoever, and also I saw the mistreatment of others within the facility as well. The graduation rate for the program is one percent. Gee, I wonder why. Maybe if they revamped its whole program so that more people would graduate and then leave and die on the street…
    By the way lots of people who graduated either returned to drugs or homelessness or as I said they just die on the street). The reason why I believe this happens is because the whole program functions like a prison, a miniature concentration camp. Once that person or persons get institutionalized for a year or two years (that’s how long the program usually is), they don’t know how to function once they leave the program. They get so used to being in a prison-like setting that they don’t want to leave, so they end up messing up their lives, and doing the whole program over again. It’s like a vicious cycle.
    Another tragic thing is having handicapped people doing certain jobs that they can’t do. The greatest example that I can find is when a person who had one arm and automatically stopped doing meth (who was in the program) was put on “SECURITY.” Let’s just say he didn’t last too long. 
    After I left the program I completely understood that I had been in an economic con game. The so-called Christians were making it seem like they were helping people in the program, but in actuality the people with problems were either kicked out or left because of the “Slave Therapy” that they were receiving. Bible study classes connected us with teachers who had schizophrenia and eating disorders. Bible studies and even the program as a whole does nothing but brainwash people. Religion will not stop a person from wrong-doing. It is that person’s choice to choose what is right and what is wrong.
    Another thing the NLP program overdid was their workouts. Even if we had a day off we would still have to go to devotions to hear more things about Christianity being drilled into us, then after that we would have to work out for an hour, and then help out at churches by doing chores on a rest day. What is the whole point of calling it a day off, you might as well call it a work day.
    The whole NLP program within the Denver Rescue Mission needs to be revamped or changed. Their whole program will be shut down, if things are not changed, because somebody is going to get mad and ticked off and will cause a great disturbance. I’m not instigating anything, I’m just foretelling what will probably happen if a lot of changes are not made for the better. If a person from the mission is reading this, please listen, and take heed and critical thought to what I am saying. Make a positive change to this negative state.

  I have found that the homeless epidemic is... Let's say epic. Our (Colorado State) representatives and senators have no problem touching and talking about the problem. What no one is realizing is neither of these things are a solution to the problem.
    I don't just blame our house and state. A lot of this blame goes on the homeless themselves. As the homeless we complain about how we are treated, yet few to none of the homeless stand up for themselves. When I say stand up, I am meaning speak up. Who knows the pain and strife of the homeless life better than the homeless.
    This is just some food for thought... Did you know that the homeless had a bill of rights?
    Were you aware that when the temperature reaches 20 or below, the state of Colorado has agencies (PATH, The Gathering Place, and most police stations) that will provide you with a motel voucher until the weather is bearable? [See page xx for information about motel vouchers.]
    There are things we can do for ourselves. Think about it. Within our own community we have a computer wizard, a home fix-it man, a few cooks, children and highly educated people. Groups such as these survive because of not only physical food, but also the mentality of each other.
    As one unit, I'd like to see everything that you've read above come together for the greater good of ending the homeless epidemic.

    The Educator is back! Mr Calvin Calloway aka the Prince of Obfuscation--whose intent is to express and imply his views with the hope that you the reader will cultivate them in order to make your understanding of all and everything that you see take place become clear and transparent with an in-depth comprehension of all you observe.

    Listen to me Mr. Calvin C, aka the Governor of all said Legislatures: I must keep intensely dwelling on a most substantiated factor as to what we citizens of the City and County of Denver and State of Colorado have at hand to digest: And that factor is that our government and private leaders operate their functions with an oppressive makeup and nature that totally disrespects America’s original and true meaning. 
    You see readers, Mr. Thomas Jefferson, Mr. Benjamin Franklin, and Mr. John Adams created and structured the most beneficial doctrine of all time. And that doctrine and its qualities coincide with the said and known natural laws of society. They formulated the Declaration of Independence which states that all and everything human, material or otherwise have the same rights, privileges, duties and obligations independent of an agreement and/or contract per se.
    Now I must render an example of how governmental administrative leaders conduct their business with an oppressive nature and with qualities, standards and principles consistent with those of a dictator, an absolute ruler, slave driver and worst of all a terrorist who is in charge of and oversees the citizens in American daily life. This example involves our governor John Hickenlooper’s subordinate portion of his administration which is the corrupted Colorado State Board of Parole.
    On June 9, 2014 I was arrested per orders of my then parole officer Michael Pasko because my whereabouts were briefly unknown from May 30 to June 9, 2014. Parole Officer Michael Pasko received an anonymous phone call stating I wasn’t staying at the Crossroads Salvation Army shelter which led him and his coordinator Matthew Cooper to issue a warrant for my arrest. 
    But I studied volumes one and two of the West Reporter Law Books on probationers’ and parolees’ rights in revocation parole hearings. There I found a Florida case in which a judge ruled that because a probationer moved from his precedent address and his probation officer briefly did not know his whereabouts, this constituted a minor, petty and excusable offense--and his probation was not revoked.
    But when I read this case--which was very similar to my own--to Hearing Officer John O’Dell during my hearing in July, 2014, the hearing officer nonetheless found me guilty of this “minor, petty and excusable offense” because he could. Even if I had appealed this decision, I know the Board would have ratified the hearing officer’s act of subjecting me to the drastic sanction of revocation, condoning and being loyal and steadfast to John O’Dell’s action.
    You see, a large amount of these government administrative leaders sadly act like less than human beings in order to keep their jobs. This applies to private leaders as well who also have a duty and obligation to oversee the conduct of the subordinate members of their administration. All too often, when the supervisor requests his or her subordinate employee to do something deceitful, the subordinate employee complies with the request, knowing that the committed or omitted act breaches an individual’s or a group of individuals’ civil rights, human rights, socio-political rights--because of fear of maybe being terminated from their jobs.
    Michael Pasko and his supervisor received confirmation and backup on their claim against me by Hearing Officer John O’Dell and chose to imprison me even after I read them the similar Florida case of the “minor, petty and excusable offense”--clearly making Parole Officer Pasko and Hearing Officer John O’Dell dictators, slave drivers, and absolute rulers over my life. I knew that the other portion of the Colorado State Board of Parole would only concur with Mr. Michael Pasko, his supervisor, and John O’Dell’s decision--which express and imply that we in the cities, towns, counties and villages in the state of Colorado and all other states in America have terrorist government officials who are governing our everyday life situations. This culture must be quashed immediately. 
    I believe that my parole officer Michael Pasko’s DNA wasn’t like that of an absolute ruler, slave driver or oppressor when he first took a job as a parole officer. I believe he later was compelled to develop the character of an oppressor in order to keep his job and eventually liked his new-found character and demeanor just like most other city, county, state and federal governmental officials. An initiative to reverse this dreadful trend must blossom.

(AKA) The Governor of All Legislatures

An introduction of the book of Calvin C. 

    First and foremost my sovereignty is my intelligence. This expresses and implies that my authority, strength and power come from what knowledge I possess. In other terms I don't put my problems into any other source’s hands but my own. 

    I believe that if any human entity cultivates the belief system to put their problems into an unknown source’s hands--which in most cases is Jesus or Allah (God’s hands)--then these human beings who utilize such a method will not be thinking for themselves. During the span of time I've lived, I’ve observed that, when one puts their problems in the unknown source’s hands, their trials and tribulations will remain for weeks and even centuries on end. 

    For example, everyday administration in America is inconsistent--especially all city, county, state and federal governments and administrations which are composed of these individuals who govern every society in America. These people who govern us apply themselves and their duties and obligations in an inequitable and close-minded manner. All city, county, state, and federal government officials or employees are in alliance with the big producers and controllers, which transparently shows that these government officials at all levels don’t have the interests of all the public in mind.

    Such a mindset by those officials constitutes the rape of democracy. When democracy is raped there is no law, because when those who govern us 
Americans are not held accountable for not giving proper due care to the underdogs, the lawlessness of the private interest groups consisting of the big producers and controllers prevails. When American society is not governed by accountable and responsible leaders, then that makes the cross in America crooked and these governmental officials are nailing all Americans to their crooked cross. 

    These government officials and their administration are the first to tell the general public to pray on the problems that we Americans are faced with. Yet these same officials and leaders have created the problems--thus causing all Americans including themselves undesired grief. These problems must be cured or treated speedily through quick remedies or reform, radical reform, revolutionary reform to address the socio-political problems we American people and all other nations are facing. Praying to Jesus or Allah God will not cause our problems to disappear radically, revolutionarily and speedily, because the ones who are the primary sources of all of humankind’s problems are the human beings who we the general public elect to govern us. They make up the administrations in America, whether they are said to be private or public.

    Most if not all members of city, county, state, and federal governments have an oppressive nature--by which I mean that their egos are inflamed. They cultivate themselves as the secondary identity that they use to define their job titles: such as mayor or governor or lawmaker--totally forgetting that they the government officials are human beings first. So this expresses that their decisions must benefit all humans from the underdogs to the big producers and controllers.. 

    These secondary identities that are used to describe us humans is another core problem we have that makes it difficult for us to live harmoniously. For example, this word God when used by the believers is such a terrible myth. These believers in this God call this he/she or it--whom they believe to have created all and everything human material or otherwise--a “he” which is closed-minded and prejudiced toward females. 

    One said human entity cannot really explain how all and everything--human, material or otherwise--actually came into existence. In the beginning, when humans tried to determine that which is enigmatic--how the wind, sun, moon, stars and everything on earth arrived and came into fruition--they could not explain these things. At first they called this unknown creator force the supreme worker. Later they decided to call the creator of everything god (written lower case). 

    When we humans decided to call the creator of everything God, this decision led to the problem of we humans submitting to objects. Now today--meaning subsequent to the American so-called revolution--that is when the so-called modern man just replaced subjects with objects, such as the white race, the American, the Iranian, the Christian, the Muslim and so on. 

    So now most if not all humans cultivate these secondary identities as their primary identity. These secondary identities are objects, such as Negro, Caucasian, American, and Iranian, that were used to replace the identity subjects, who had to submit to the will of the king. And in today’s time, when we humans have a job that has a lower status in the hierarchy than that of the supervisor, the subordinate employee as an object has to be less than a human being to keep their job. This lower employee at this function has to submit to the will of their supervisor. More often than not, this human in a lower status will lose their job for challenging their supervisor even if the supervisor is wrong. 

    The bottom line to Calvin C's story and book is that the ethics of all administrations in America, public or private, must become equitable in their decision making. And secondly, one existing human being who has a secondary identity, such as black, white, American or Iranian, must only play politics with this secondary identity--which isn't their primary human identity--when it is time to be a black human in favor of black.  Which means if one is treated bad because they look black or white, then and only then is it time for this black or white human being to be justifiably pro-white or pro-black or pro-American or pro-Iranian. Then and only then can any human being or group of human beings share peace and harmony among themselves.
