Jackson said he spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, who repeated the Bush Administration position that it will not negotiate with the Taliban, but did not urge Jackson not to go to Afghanistan.

Well, Powell should have. According to the U.S. Constitution, Jackson traveling to Afghanistan to "negotiate" with what has already been labeled a hostile regime, and referring to the Taliban as "religious leaders," is the book definition of "treason"--giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Jackson's comments are just the tip of the iceberg. There have been numerous Leftwing Black-American publications across the country spreading "the chickens have come home to roost and America simply got what it deserved" propaganda line. In the major media, it seems the black community has been silent on the matter of what direction the country should take. Jackson's recent statements (and others) cause me to suspect that the black community may be receiving the wrong message from self-appointed black leaders.

I have heard very few people, whether government officials, the media or socalled black leaders themselves, discuss how this coming war may directly affect the black community. The black community should be asking questions. They deserve answers.

There is no stopping the comming battle in the Middle East. We are going to war, people. The world watched over 6,000 people killed on American soil. That's one percent of the fatalities during the entire Civil War of 1861-1865 wiped out in one day. Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, many Americans have dropped any prefix from the word "American" when describing themselves. We are all Americans. This Islamist enemy has proven that he is willing to attack on American soil, indiscriminately. We may, in fact, face more attacks in the near future, Let me explain how this will affect America's black population, possibly more so than any other Americans.

Any additional terrorist strikes that would follow on American soil would probably be targeted at major metropolitan areas for a maximum kill ratio, and these metropolitan areas are where most blacks reside. The blast from a small, low yield nuclear weapon unleashed in the downtown area would cause immediate destruction. But most black neighborhoods would suffer the firestorms to follow. A disruption or attack on utilities would affect urban residents more than anyone else.

What's worse: There have been those Americans who, for quite sometime, have been preparing for such contingencies, although in limited fashion. They have been relocating to safer areas. They have been purchasing the proper items necessary for survival. Influenced by the propaganda disseminated by self-appointed black leaders, many blacks perceive the survivalists as being "racist," anti-Semitic, anti-government, etc. Thus, blacks tend strongly to shun the survivalists and their message. Today, when blacks may consider purchasing gas masks for their own protection, they will find themselves shunned--not due to skin color, but due to lack of availability.

In the past, there have been many complaints of racial and ethnic profiling. Today, such profiling has become common when talking about and dealing with Middle Eastern residents in the U.S.A., although few of the profilers will admit it. The American nation took a painful hit on Septerber 11, 2001, and our sadness has turned to fear and anger. This message is to prevent "political disfranchisement," which is an "industry" in the black community, from causing the black community to fall on the wrong side of American anger.

Black-Americans, now is the time to become unified with America. This means losing any prefix before the word "American" when describing yourselves. The enemy has already removed it for you. Their mission, or "Fatwah," is to kill all Americans, regardless of race, color, or ethnicity. This is not Islam. This is evil. Beware of those among you siding with anyone supporting what happened on September 11, 2001.

As in any war, one strategy is to divide and conquer. I suspect that, if the tendency is not checked, there could easily be attempts to use and manipulate persons who feel disfranchised in this country--to exploit them as a method of causing civil unrest here in the United States. Black America must not let this happen. Beware of those who support what happened in New York and Washington. Beware of those who seek to meet and greet such supporters of anti-American terrorism. They are not with us, but have their own agenda.

Instead of listening to the propaganda of self-appointed black leaders who seek to meet and greet the supporters of terrorism, begin to look to outside sources and resources for news and information. Get involved in community policing, keeping your eyes and ears open for warnings of the next attack. As we know, criminals often hide in black neighborhoods. There is no reason to assume terrorists won't do likewise. Lastly, prepare yourselves. Do not be led down the wrong path, or led out into the streets for the wrong reason.

Any man wishing to reach out to a hostile regime that vows to kill Americans should be discarded without discussion. For such a man does not speak for America. Nor does he, or should he be allowed to, speak for black people in America.
