Talk about Audcaious— Famie Lou Hamer. Wasn’t she the bold ex-“sharecropper” of cotton who has the audacity to start a political party in Mississippi despite being threatened and harassed by white supremacist, in addition to being severely beaten by racist police for daring to ask for equality? I know I’m a white man, and should ask this, but isn’t is better to say slavecropper to show the reality about what really happened during Jim Crow? I mean, perhaps not by business, but the cotton plantation she worked on from the time she was six year’s old starting in 1923, shouldn’t that be called a “slave” plantation for the brutality of making a little girl starting at the age of six pick cotton all day long with 19 siblings and parents? Would it be highly advisable for the federal government to seize all that current land, liquidate it at auction and turn over all the proceeds to everyone and all their descendants who forced to “slavecrop” that land? Maybe my suggestion sounds a bit audacious, especially when compared with her outstanding bravery and courage in the face to true white male savagery that tried to silence her, but isn’t it the least that can be done, a decent start, for violating all her and her family’s, and her fellow “sharecropper’s” constitutional rights, violently repressing their humanity, stealing all their labor and keeping the profits? I mean, this was a system of slavecropping that went on until the 1960s (maybe 70s). Why can’t we make this simple and reasonable demand if Ms. Pamela can demand reparations for the British?

Audacious request number two: Put up a statue of Ms. Hamer in place of the current one of seditious slaver-owner Robert Lee in Lee county Mississippi. She was fighting for the inalienable rights of her fellow Americans and recognition of those inalienable rights present in her heart and theirs, while Robert Lee was a domestic terrorist fighting the USA to repress those same inalienable rights that were an affront to him. I’ll sign that petition.
