Murder of Black "gay" activist is receiving no attention

"...with all of the father/uncle-daughter/niece incest and prostitution that has and continues to plague Black and all other cultural/social groups of women in America, why are African Americans so uptight about people who call themselves “gay”? "

Dear friends,

An African American man named August Provost was murdered while on guard duty at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California. He was an openly active fighter for gay rights. Was he killed because he was an African American only? Was he killed for being a “gay” activist? Or was he killed for being both? Provost, 29, of Houston, was shot, multiple times, to death at the Navy's landing-craft compound adjacent to Interstate 5. His body was found about 3 a.m. June 30.

Thus far, only the “gay” community is protesting this horrible act. This all happened only five days after Michael Jackson died not far away in Los Angeles. It’s interesting that so many opportunistic “Black” leaders who are still trying to cash in on Jackson’s passing have not uttered a word about an event that presumably Michael Jackson himself would have, at least, denounced.

And where are the headlines? There has not been a lot of coverage on this around the nation. Why is that?

By the way, regarding gay rights, Barack Obama promised that he would get rid of the “Don’t ask-Don’t tell” policy of the two previous administrations during his campaign, but did just the opposite once he was in office. Additionally, Obama’s administration, just as his immediate predecessor did, intended to get rid of the nationwide “Free Breakfast Program” for some 120, 000 schoolchildren just last month (June), before being convinced to keep the program. Of course, it was the Black Panther Party that originally started providing the “Free Breakfast Program” for children nationwide twenty years ago. The US government later made that program part of the overall educational budget.

Still, we have a 29 years-old African American Seaman of the US Navy dead. While it was the overwhelming support of African Americans that killed the right for gay people to be married in California on the same as Obama’s election victory, at what point do Black folks decide that all members of the African American experience should be supported on the basis of their being individuals who lead a wholesome life.

For example, Al Sharpton continues to receive media coverage and support from Black folks, even though back in the Eighties, while he was Reverend Al Sharpton he was arrested by FBI agents during a drug sting where he had promised an undercover agent that he would supply the latter with a large amount of cocaine for $100, 000. What preacher do you know who can provide yopu with a quantity of drugs like that? Additionally, where did he expect those drugs to be sold? Who would be the addicts? White folks? Nevertheless, in a deal to stay out of prison, he then wore “wires” for the FBI, supposedly to help them catch other drug dealers.

The New York Post originally ran the story about Sharpton’s drug-dealing escapades, then just stopped it abruptly. Why were they not so politically correct when they ran the cartoon about Barack Obama being murdered, earlier this year?

Also, why have Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan continued to stand with and identify with Sharpton? Does the FBI have something on Jackson and Farrakhan? It makes me wonder.

Moreover, with all of the father/uncle-daughter/niece incest and prostitution that has and continues to plague Black and all other cultural/social groups of women in America, why are African Americans so uptight about people who call themselves “gay”? Besides, who knows what anyone has been doing sexually that is considered “deviant” with others or about what sexual act(s) anyone has fantasized? It is all a sham!

Michael Jackson’s sexually dysfunctional family, of which Michael too was a part, are now parading around with tear-stained faces, while the father, Joe Jackson, is bragging about his new record company, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson following the Jacksons around.

Meanwhile, a fine young man who, in the spirit of so many Black activists before him, has been murdered and the three people who have been “endorsed” by the racist US government- and corporate-controlled mass communications media as America’s “Black leaders” are silent, while Obama is throwing baseballs at the All-Star game. Wow! We sure are progressing.
