The Ariafya Universe's first official position on the matter to later be turned into a "Sepia Paper"
Arrests are a constant occurrence in the African American community. It is the biggest fear that many have, especially by those who have been afforded the opportunity and luxury of an esteemed education. Moreover, African American involvement with a municipal law enforcement is always perceived and viewed as a threat, coercive, divisive and subjugating, regardless of the act. Whether that has been proven to be true through a crime in progress or a perceived illegal action. With the whisperings of a nearly 50 year old segregation Jim Crow laws and how law enforcement enacted it as witnessed by countless African Americans, and "the overseer" vestiges once from a bygone era of involuntary enslavement that reparations will NEVER fix, it is The Ariafya Universe's position that the severe psychological trauma inflicted and never healed in the cultural consciousness of African Americans is perpetual from generation to generation.
Some groups of people demand us to forget that horrid past. Well, that is neglecting our ancestors reality and history. If one fails to know one's past, s/he is doomed to repeat it. Humanity has little use for slavery. It is barbarian, antiquated and a relic. Psychologically it is the position of The Ariafya Universe that is a form of psychosis similar to that of a "serial killer". Much like vicious great white sharks hunt for their prey, the small fish that attaches to sharks do so that they are not consumed. Slavery and all the accoutrements does not advance or grow human intelligence. With our human sights to the stars, how do we expect to get there when the mentality of our officials who impose the law behave no better than "the overseers" of yesteryear?
Dr. Henry Louis Gates' behavior represented a man in distress. He got home from China, jet-lagged and had to maneuver his door to access his rented residence. A nebulous neighbor called police making a false accusation of two "Black Men carrying backpacks", who then investigated the "alleged active burgerlary". Dr. Gates was in his house speaking to his landlord until the police, using the new rules of "probable cause", spoke to him with a strong forceful tone. Now, how many Cambridge, Massachusett's police officers actually catch a "suspect" in the act? It comes to police training and experience.
Unfortunately, the exhausted, stressed Dr. Gates responded angrily and rightfully so. But that is what got him arrested. As everyone in the African American community knows, yelling at the police gets you nowhere and you do get arrested for it. So one of the greatest historians at Harvard was arrested because he had to get into his house?
Later, the charges were dropped by the Cambridge, Massachusett's police department. Because once they determined who they just arrested, the long hot summer would commence. It was likened to a Rosa Parks in Montgomery, Alabama.
But what this really does is indicate to those of us who are highly educated, that is does not matter if we obtain the pinnicle of high academia, if we are Black we are no more than servants quarters. Then, to our young people, it further instills, why get an education?
As for Dr. Gates, why should he have held his tongue after an exhausting 20 hours flight from a foreign country? Why should he justify his actions in his own house?
Finally who is this subhuman ignoramous neighbor that had the audacity to lie to the police with false accusations reminiscent of a white woman being raped by a black man? What was her interaction with Dr. Gates' and should it matter?
What it does in the professional opinion of The Ariafya Universe is ask people of African descent in America to suppress their legitimate welling up of feelings, humiliation and frustrations, force them down to parts that no longer hurt--much like a physically/sexually abuse victim does--which that pain later turns into a severe chronic health condition, like hypertension, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer--key chronic diseases that particularly affect large swaths of African Americans and is the largest health disparity seen between African Americans and caucasians.
The issue does not dwell solely on how a person undergoing this issue "handles it". This issue is about institutionalized bigotry and racism. Serial killer rapists who seek power over humans attempt to fabricated, fanatically fanaticize, and outright lie to get their "thrill ride" of subjugating and perverting a human being. What hurts from the victims standpoint is not only the offending horrendous act-rightfully so--but all the all the wonderings, of "why me", "did I ask for it", "how do I move forward". Moving forward positively takes a long time to recover after the offensive act-which usually is perceived in the brain as severe trauma, such that like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)--and the handling of the incident is unique from one individual to another. What makes racism toward African Americans so horrendous that recent genetic data clearly shows that non-synomynous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have evolved in key chronic diseases that enable survivability upon full adulthood, but no longer effective during aging. As time goes on and racist acts fail to change, behavioral genetics, especially those systems involved in anger, will be further selected.
It is the formulating professional opinion The Ariafya Universe that anyone enacting, promoting and promulgating their abusive delusions are no more than serial killer rapists and deserve to be placed under tribunal and grand jury violations, arrested and placed into terrorist supermax prisions. Once there, they need single confinement. Treatment will not change these perversions. Only imprisionment or possibly capital punishment.
