The message is clear: You dare to de-colonise your child's mind and you will pay the price!




On Tuesday January 30, 2007 at 9:15 AM in New Rochelle, NY, Judge Nilda M. Horowitz will be presiding over a hearing to decide whether to take young poet Autumn Ashante from her Dad in a custody case. The media has accused of him teaching his daughter hate. Her poems reveal she has actually been taught to recognize and resist hate (white supremacy).

Download the attached word file below to see why you must come to the Family Court on Tuesday, Jan. 30th at 9:15 Am at 420 North Avenue in New Rochelle New York, to support this African family.

The attached file is a 2 page word file with incredible (literally unbelievable) photos with captions from the next CEMOTAP DRUM Newspaper. The photos provide a context for understanding the January 30th legal proceeding


http://www.michellemalkin.com/archives/004772.htm
Autum, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., has performed at HBO's Def Poetry Jam, The Cotton Club in L.A., The Apollo Theater in Harlem, the African Street Festival, Caroline's on Broadway, the Russell Simmons Phat Farm Fashion Show, Steve Harvey's "Big Time," a prestigious Grammy Foundation event, and at universities and other venues across the country. She recites her radical verses not only in English, but also in fluent Swahiili and Arabic (she attended the Islamic Darul Arkam School in Mount Vernon).
Autum has appeared at a tribute to black nationalist Marcus Garvey, America-bashing 9/11 conspiracy-monger Amiri Baraka's annual family cookout, and the extremist New Black Panther Party's Million Youth March. The city of New York honored her with a proclamation for inspiring "her peers, as well as adults, while also demonstrating the power of a father's love, the importance of education and the limitless boundaries of the human mind." New York City councilwoman Yvette Clark called her "one of the most precious young talents that this world has ever known."
Most recently, as New York Post education reporter David Andreatta reported this weekend, she was invited to perform at public middle and high schools in Peekskill, N.Y., for Black History Month. After asking white students to remain seated while she led black students in a recitation of the Black Panthers' Black Child's Pledge, Autum (now home-schooled by her single father, a Nation of Islam member and poet) angrily read this original poem:
White Nationalism Put U In Bondage
White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The mis-education of she and Hegro — leaves you on your knee2grow
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm
Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look at our streets.
Complaints from shocked students and parents led to a tape-recorded apology sent to all parents apologizing for the performance. Autum's father condemned white district officials as "racist crackers." Autum defended her poem by explaining to the Westchester Journal News that white people are "devils and they should be gone. We should be away from them and still be in Africa."
She defiantly told the NYPost today:
"I feel good about the response," Autum said of the firestorm engulfing the Peekskill City School District, where her recitation of a poem at a high school and a middle school offended students. "I know it was the right thing."
Autum has the backing of NYC councilman and former Black Panther Charles "I want to slap white people" Barron and king of racial demagoguery, Al Sharpton.
My conclusion:
Who is surprised? If you set aside a separate holiday for Black History Month in the public schools, if you set aside separate graduation ceremonies, college dorms, academic departments, recruiting programs, and government contracts and subcontracts by race, you send a message that hardcore racial separatism is not only acceptable — but desired.
Autum Ashante' is the natural offspring of militant multiculturalism and government-sanctioned identity politics. We reap what we sow.
So here's the experiment. Google "Lamb and Lnyx Gaede," the names of the white nationalist teen singers who have ignited a continuing media firestorm. Now, over the next few days, Google "Autum Ashante."
Will the MSM dare to call Autum and her father's racial hatred what it is? Will pundits and investigative journalists condemn Autum's spoon-fed racism with the same conviction as they did in response to the white nationalist teen stars?
Or will they make excuses and hide behind "diversity" double standards?
And will someone in the MSM have the nerve to ask Sharpton pal Hillary Clinton (who is very outspoken about some kinds of racial extremism) what she thinks about the controversy in her backyard?
Stay tuned.

I would like to know if they will prosecute the mother of these two little pigs:

ABC News:
They may remind you of another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.
Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.
They're now thirteen.
Those with Germanic heritage have much to be proud of. This sort of thing is not it. It's very saddening.
I found the pic with those adorable T-shirts at a prussianbluefan blog. I cannot bring myself to link to it, but it's out there and I feel obligated to note it since I took one of their pics.
This falls under what Murdoc calls "unpatriotic". I'm sure that they and their fans believe their cause to be patriotism, but it's not American patriotism. They might be patriots to their own cause, but they are not allies of what makes America great.

LYRICS
http://writesong.blogspot.com/2005/0...ctory-day.html

VICTORY DAY"
Words and Music by:
Hawthorne/Latvis


VERSE # 1:

Well sit down and listen,
To what I have to say.
Soon will come a great war,
A bloody, but holy day.
And after that purging,
Our people will be free,
And sing up in the bright skies,
A sun for all to see.


Times are very tough now
For a proud White man to live.
And although it may appear
That this world has no life to give,
Times are soon changing,
This can't go on for long.
And on that joyful Summer’s day,
We’ll sing our Victory song.


CHORUS:

The women, they’ll smile,
On Victory Day.
And the children, they’ll laugh
And they’ll sing and they’ll play,
And the forests will echo our grace
For the brand new dawn of our Race.


VERSE # 2:

You are my brother
And in war we proudly sing.
Our Cause shall never tire,
Our gift to you we bring:
A Holy Creed of Racial Purpose,
A mighty Race to defend,
And when we fly our holy flag
Their oppressive reign shall end.


CHORUS:


VERSE # 3:

And when we finally conquer,
Our people will be free.
And all across this great land,
The bold Truth we shall see.
So as we march together,
To avoid catastrophe.
Let’s remember always
Our sacred Destiny.


CHORUS:

**********

What do you thing bro?

You see they haven't been taught hate, just the natural order of things - i.e. for whites to detest blacks and see them as inferior.

On the other hand, for Ashante to be taught that whites are not her masters and superiors.....that is pure hate.

Respect


There are those who feel that the only way to ‘prove their own worth’ is by ‘devaluing the worth of others’. You will often find that a man who is compelled to measure his substance against the substance of another, has little of substance in the first place!

BATIM’S DILEMMA










By Mary Alice Miller

African-American families come in many forms.
Batim Asante is the proud custodial father of child prodigy Autum, a bright, happy, well- mannered 8-year-old well- known to the tristate community for her poetry.
Batim has had legal custody of Autum since she was 18 months old. Dissatisfied with the current condition of public education, Batim homeschools his little princess. As a result of weekly visits to the library and taking advantage of the myriad cultural institutions in the Greater NYC area, Autum is tested on a 5th-grade reading level instead of the 2nd grade her tender years would warrant in public school. Autum plays cello at the Harlem School of the Arts, is a member of a Rites of Passage program and is the youngest child to earn a scholarship at the Schomburg Scholars program.
Batim Asante, well aware of popular culture and the dictionary, uses icons in a creative way.
At a recent CEMOTAP forum, Batim gave a presentation entitled Uninvited Vampires. Aware that vampires prey on others by sucking their life blood, he anthropomorphized the fictional character, referring to the surprise attack on his family.
Batim announced to those in attendance that Autum's mother is suddenly suing for custody. Armed with documentation, Batim produced a notarized letter from Autum's mother giving him custody of their daughter.
Having been legal custodial parent of Autum since April 1999, Batim shared his "deep and profound appreciation of motherhood". According to Batim, Autum has never had a baby-sitter- he did not want someone who listens to gangsta rap, watches The Young and the Restless or drinks 40 ounces watching his child. If he could not take his child somewhere with him, Batim felt that was not a place he should be.
Batim is pursuing a career as a producer. As a result of watching her father negotiate contracts, conduct presentations, write poetry and produce shows, Autum was attracted to poetry at three years old. He never coaxed her to go onstage to present her poetry; Autum approached her father expressing interest.
After Autum's appearance on Like It Is, Batim received 2 different orders to appear in New Rochelle Family Court, one delivered by marshal to his home, the second by mail.
The original order stated Batim "failed to make the child available for visitation". Batim considers this odd, considering Autum has recently been filming a new Van Peebles movie, and her mother was there. According to Batim, the mother travels with Autum. It also states the father is "using the child as a tool against me". Meanwhile, the mother has been ordered to contribute $97.00 a week towards Autum's support, a sum Batim says the mother does not pay.
More insidious is the second order, dated the same day. It states the father allows visitation only when he feels like it, the daughter is unhappy and father makes her do things she doesn't want to do. Batim feels this allegation is particularly dangerous in the hands of "vampires", because of its vagueness and because he is a male raising a daughter. Although Autum's law guardian did a home visit, she did not seem to notice that Autum has her own bedroom and bath. Batim reports that Family Court Judge Nilda Morales- Horowitz stated that a man shouldn't be raising a girl.
(Interestingly, Batim had a copy of a report from the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct regarding allegations against Judge Morales-Horowitz. This report alleges Morales-Horowitz interfered with another judge who was harsh towards a friend of Morales-Horowitz in court regarding her own child custody case.)
Batim feels his family is under attack. He alleges Autum's law guardian stated in court that Autum is in danger of being raised a racist.
Batim feels he is being accused of child abuse for keeping Autum out of a school. He chooses to live in Connecticut because homeschooling is legal there. He told family court authorities that he wants Autum to take the GED in the 9th grade. When asked if Autum would be deprived of the high school experience, Batim replied "No, public schools are Frankenstein factories: a system where fashion, debauchery and foolishness are God". Batim does not want his daughter walking around with her belly uncovered and a "string up her butt".
As a part of this whole process, the family had to be "assessed". He had to submit himself to a psychological examination where there are no "right" answers. During a word association, Batim was given the word "calendar". He reportedly said, "Which one? Gregorian, Egyptian, Aztec, Jewish, Chinese…"
When asked does Autum celebrate Halloween, Batim said no. He paid attention to recent financial markets that reported Halloween generated $9.2 billion. Every costume and piece of candy bought contributes to this bonanza. Batim says he bought candy around Halloween- where is his return on investment? He was told he was depriving Autum of her childhood.
Asked if Autum is in the Girl Scouts, Batim said Autum participates in a Sisterhood Rites of Passage. He was told that is not good enough.
Throughout her father's presentation, Autum behaved like a normal, happy child. She played quietly with a furry white bunny rabbit, tying a blue and white scarf around its ears. She easily moved among the other children in attendance, coloring with several girls her age. Autum was happily smiling throughout the event. She addressed adults with appropriate reverence and respect.
The family's next court appearance is January 30, 2007 at New Rochelle Family Court, 420 North Ave., New Rochelle, NY.

@Auset



Thank you for that article. The whole thingis just a bloody farce. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious, not to mention downright pathetic.

He sound slike the perfect father, and he is raising her on his own.

1. The child has never had a baby sitter, he won't goto place he can't take her.

2. The child is academically advanced for years.

3. She has been raised with social awareness and cultural pride.

4. She interacts with other children and attends a rites of passage programme, how dare the judge say it is not good enough, that she should be attends girl scouts.

On what grounds could he possibly lose custody. This is blatantly a set up and as usual they use us as puppets in this case the mother. I won't be surprised if they start fabricating witnesses who say that the dad is a drug dealing pimp who has a n adiction to crack cocaine or the police conveniently stop him and plant drugs on him, some kind of sinister plot will emerge these ppl are evil. I can't believe the mother is letting herself be used if he was such a bad father why did she allow him to have custody for so many years. I hope he has a good lawyer.

They like to talk about us when they think we are 'deadbeat' dads, but when a parent is actually raising an Afrikan child the way they should it is a great threat, because this child could grow up a become a revolutionary. And the greatest fear of the white man is that one day we will wake up and take back what is ours.
