THE OPPRESSED WOMEN OF AMERICA

Sad statistics compiled by the United States Department of Justice report that a woman is raped every 2 minutes, somewhere in the United States of America, alone, and according to the American Medical Association, sexual violence, rape in particular, is considered the most under-reported violent crime.

US: Women in NY, NJ forced into sex 25 times a day

NEW YORK (AP) — The young Mexican women were driven to rural New Jersey, U.S. authorities said, where their handlers used threats to make them have sex with 25 farmworkers a day. Or they were confined to dingy brothels in the New York City area that advertised their services with "chica cards," business cards passed out on street corners to attract customers. They were paid very little, or nothing at all.
Their ordeal was detailed in a criminal complaint charging 13 people with smuggling dozens into the United States and forcing them into prostitution. Some of the defendants were to appear Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan to face multiple counts including sex trafficking and interstate transportation for prostitution.
The ring "lured their unsuspecting victims to the United States and then consigned them to a living hell," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.
The investigation was among several aimed at "blockading the repugnant sex trafficking corridor" used to exploit victims from Tenancingo, Mexico, said James Hayes, head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York.
Tenancingo, an impoverished town in Tlaxcala state, has long been a notorious haven for pimps who use a combination of threats, abuse and broken promises of marriage and jobs to put innocent victims, some only in their teens, on a path to sex slavery in Mexico City and in large cities in the United States.
Most victims eventually manage to escape, authorities say in court papers. But, they add, "without legal status in the United States, without family and friends for support, without employment opportunities and as a result of the trauma they suffered, victims sometimes return to prostitution."
In interviews with investigators, one unidentified woman described how when she refused to work at brothels located in apartments in Queens and suburban Yonkers, she and her child were locked out of their home on a cold winter night. She also told authorities that her pimps, believing she was pregnant, forced to take drugs intended to induce a miscarriage, and that she was beaten when she once tried to withhold some of her earnings.
Another woman recounted becoming romantically involved with a man who smuggled her into the United States, only to learn he made a living delivering prostitutes to New Jersey to have sex with farmworkers. She said he used threats to force her into the sex trade for two years before he was deported.
According to the complaint, the ring provided its victims with condoms and birth control pills while making them have sex with up to 30 men a day. The men paid $30 for 15 minutes. The women sometimes got a $15 cut but that usually went to the traffickers.
If convicted, some of the defendants face a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The evidence includes wiretaps of customers and pimps haggling over prices, the complaint says.
"What girls do you have?" one customer asked.
"From Salvador and Mexico."
"How do they look?"
"They both look good."
The pimp quoted a price of $70.
"Can you do it for 60?"

"GEORGE JEFFERSON" : A ROLE MODEL FOR BLACK LEADERS

     The passing of Sherman Hemsley brings to mind the main character he portrayed, George Jefferson. At first we think of George Jefferson as sort of a buffoonish character. But if we examine George's character we find:



  •  George Jefferson was an entrepreneur and self made millionaire;
  • He took care of his woman;
  • He never cheated on his woman:
  • He was fearless in the face of whites;
  • He was straight forward and not two-faced.  If he didn't like you you'd know it!;
  • He was clean and well dressed;
  • He advocated race loyalty and pure Blackness;
  • He had a strong aversion to Uncle Toms;
  • He said what he meant and meant what he said;
  • He had no time for foolishness;
  • He was prudent and wise with his money;
  • He knew who his enemy was and wasn't afraid to name him;
  • He knew who his friends were;
  • He'd slam the door in your face if you weren't his friend;
  • He hired Blacks;
  • He got rich and did NOT chase white women:
  • He didn't smile when nothing was funny and he didn't scratch when there was no itch:
  • He was unashamedly pro-Black;
  • George Jefferson had SWAG!
If only today's Black athletes and politicians were more like George Jefferson!

NON-VOTING: A TOOL OF EMPOWERMENT

Stop! You are not a Manchurian Candidate! If you are a Muslim, listen! If you are a Black man or woman, pay heed! Whoever you are, if you live in America, you may benefit from these words! "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ear." Before you repeat the same old mantras that have been programmed into your subconscious like - "if you don't vote you don't count", and "our ancestors died for the right to vote", and "you have to participate in the system to change the system" or "it's irresponsible to tell people to not vote" - before you say it, please consider the following:

1) If you are a Muslim then you know that all man made political systems are "taghoot" (false gods that rule by other than Allah's command). Regarding Taghoot Allah says that Muslims have been ordered to shun Taghoot :
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN THOSE (HYPOCRITES!) WHO CLAIM TO BELIEVE IN WHAT WAS REVEALED TO YOU (MUHAMMAD) AND WHAT WAS REVEALED BEFORE YOU (PREVIOUS SCRIPTURES) - YET THEY WISH TO REFER LEGISLATION TO TAGHOOT WHILE THEY WERE COMMANDED TO REJECT IT, AND SATAN WISHES TO LEAD THEM FAR AWAY Qur'an 4:60

Also:
HE WHO REJECTS TAGHOOT AND BELIEVES IN ALLAH HAS GRASPED THE MOST TRUSTWORTHY HANDLE WHICH NEVER BREAKS... Qur'an 2:256

Also:

WE HAVE SENT TO EVERY NATION A MESSENGER PROCLAIMING 'SERVE ALLAH AND SHUN TAGHOOT" Qur'an 16:36

2. Moral power is superior to political power. Moral power changes behavior and challenges political power. Political power does not change behavior. Also, laws do not have to be repealed in order to be rendered ineffective. There are countless laws on the books that are virtually dead because the public would not tolerate its enforcement.

3. It is not possible to "clean up the system from within." The system itself is corrupt. You cannot clean up a brothel and leave the business intact.

4. Our ancestors did NOT "die for the right to vote." Our ancestors thought voting was a tactic that would make a difference. Voting does not and has not changed the economic, educational, medical or social standing of our people. If our ancestors had known this, they would have adopted another tactic.

5. It is argued that non-voting is a type of apathy. Actually, voting is apathy! By voting you are throwing in the towel and going along with the flow. Voting means you refuse to challenge the system. Voting means you do not have the courage or fortitude or endurance to implement the Qur'an. The non-voter shows far more courage than the voter because he refuses to go along with patriotic slogans and illogical rhetoric.

6. The time, enthusiasm and money that many of our youth spend on "political organizing" could be spent on "nonpolitical" alternatives. It is the duty of Muslims and all people who desire freedom to develop private alternatives to government services to weaken the public's dependence on taghoot.

7. Democracy is a religion that teaches that the majority can even overrule Allah Himself! Democracy has a scripture: the Constitution. Democracy has "prophets": the "founding fathers". Democracy has rituals: voting.

8. Voting reinforces the legitimacy of the Taghoot.

9. Asians and Indians have made remarkable strides in America with little electoral empowerment.

10. Elections silence any revolutionary fervor. Potential "malcontents" are sucked into the safe activity of "participating in the system." For instance, Black radicals of the 1960's were "cooled out" by giving them "a piece of the action."

11. Most of the "political organizers" of today are pimps who organize our vote to sell to the highest bidder for their own personal gain.

12. Most Americans have abandoned the ballot box because they recognize it as an exercise in futility. So you, as a Muslim come to the people an offer your solution to their problems. And that solution is: vote. Why should they embrace Islam as a way of life when the Muslims all calling people to adopt the same system that has failed our people???

13. Non- voting is a declaration of independence from the taghoot and it may free us of blame before our Lord.

Someone said recently, "we've tried non voting and it didn't work." I must disagree. What we have tried is apathy and that has not worked. Non voting does not mean sitting on the sidelines. Non voting means that you have decided as Black men and women, as Muslims to make your own way and to empower yourselves. Non voting means that you are going to prove that your Book is a living Book. Non voting means that you are going to show the world that the modern Arabs have messed up their practice of Islam and you are going to show the world the greatness of Islam that was displayed by the Moors, and the Songhai Empire. Non voting means you going to show the world that you can rise above a European system of oppression that has robbed Africa and Asia and has made the whole world tremble before its aggression.
