Writers Note: Does one have to be a political scientist, and a historian to know that most Black organizations and Black leaders profit from the on-going oppression of the Black and poor? Therefore, is it just common Sense to know that many people bid for leadership positions to Help Themselves? MEANWHILE THOSE WHO HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF STRUGGLING FOR HUMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS ARE THROWN TO THE DOGS, THE DEMONS AND DEVILS OF MATERIALISTIC GREED. Peace, Carl A.

Part 9: The Black Caucus of Precinct Chairpersons: An Example of Machine Politics
The economic motive of Black organizations and Black leaders is a crucial aspect of Dis-Unity in the Black community. Therefore, many political analysts have concluded that Black Vote Selling is a leading conspiracy ingrained in the on-going Black Holocaust in America. A review of the literature and an investigation of Black political organizations and Black voting in Chattanooga reveal very critical and disturbing facts. This investigation also reveals that Black vote selling is accepted and has become a way of life for the participants. Thus, the FreedomJournal as governed by the Creator has a responsibility to expose Black Vote Selling as a Crime against Humanity. (See Chapter 8: The Court Challenge: The Black Conspiracy unpublished manuscript previously rejected as a doctoral dissertation by Atlanta University Political Science Department.).
THE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF BLACK ORGANIZATIONS IN CHATTANOOGA
Hugh Douglas Price in his study “The Negro in Florida Politics, 1944-1954″ gives his observations of Black political organizations using Florida as a case study. Price argues that, in Florida the effective Black organizations are local. The Florida Political Leagues that endorse candidates are quite similar to the Black Caucus of Precinct Chairpersons in Chattanooga. The Black Caucus of Precinct Chairpersons, like the Political Leagues in Florida, meets with the various candidates. The Caucus reviews their past records, examines their positions on pending issues, and sometimes even submits a questionnaire on specific issues. The marked difference between the Florida Political Leagues and the Black Caucus in Chattanooga is gleaned from the following quotation by Price:
“The subject of money may or may not become important. Some groups are so sensitive on this point that they refuse any contributions from candidates even for expenses; others operate on a fee basis with endorsements going to the candidates they believe best, provided they pay the minimum assessments.”
The evidence reveals that Black political organizations such as the Black Caucus of Precinct Chairpersons in Chattanooga have a definite economic motive. I would argue, that in Chattanooga the Caucus endorsements have very little to do with the political realities of the Black community. Often, the Caucus Chairperson will steer the Black Caucus toward endorsing the candidate who gives the Chairperson the most money. The money paid to the Chair of the Caucus is distributed among the Precinct Chairpersons, the amount depending on how loyal the Precinct Chairpersons are to the Chair of the Caucus.
As a Precinct Chair of the Eastdale Precinct (1977-1979) and a member of the Black Caucus I gained first hand knowledge of the payoffs made to the Caucus Chair. This money allegedly came from the state and local Democratic Party. Thus, the conclusions I am making regarding the economic system within the Black Caucus are based on interviews and more specifically upon my personal observations. (Additional data on how the Caucus functions can be gained from a review of “Chapter 7: Black Organizations,” Taken from “The Black Conspiracy: The Rise and Fall of a Commission Form of Government:” unpublished manuscript previously rejected as a doctoral dissertation by Atlanta University Political Science Department. )
The study by Hugh Price, argues another point that differs from Chattanooga Black politics. The Price study reveals that “a few groups have endorsements for sale to the highest bidder, but such organizations quickly lose their position in the Negro community and are seldom able to swing many Negro voters.” Black political organizations have not lost favor in Chattanooga. The political socialization process has evidently caused Black voters to accept their particular political circumstances without question. The interviews with individuals that have been active Precinct chairpersons (Walter Tate, Carl Jackson, Edward Burkeen and Newton Scruggs) over time were all explicit on this question.
Black political organizations have a long history of advocating for the rights of the Black community. Often Black organizations that have not carried the banner of politics have had an indirect political involvement. Lennox S.Yearwoood edited a book entitled “Black Organizations: Issues of Survival Techniques.”
There are four articles in this book that are beneficial in understanding issues related to Black Vote Selling: Lenneal J. Henderson, “Black Administrators and Politics of Administrative Advocacy,” R. O. Hope, “Patterns of Black Leadership,” C. Delores Tucker, “The A.B.C.’s of Black Organizational Survival,” and Lee P. Brown, “Black Organizations: An Agenda for Survival.”
Yearwood in the introduction notes the circumstances that produced Black organizations. Dr. Yearwood argues that Black organizations in America developed in the midst of discrimination and segregation. Yearwood explains that the definitive aspects of Black organizations are broad enough to include colleges and universities, the church, civic and community groups. Social clubs, professional organizations, athletic conferences, hospitals, lodges and clubs segregated by sex, such as women’s clubs, black businesses, and welfare organizations are also examples of Black organizations. Essential also in Yearwoods’ introductory statement is the question of survival.
Henderson’s paper has added utility because it places elected and appointed officials in non-Black organizations in an analytical framework. Thus, do Black administrators “advocate for the interests of civic, community and professional organizations external to the bureaucracies that employs them?” Henderson responds to the previous question with another question “how can such advocacy contribute to the survival of Black values and to the encouragement of organizations pursuing Black values?”
Relating these two questions to the Chattanooga experiences renders the following. Do Black administrators (elected and appointed) in Chattanooga advocate for the real interests of civic, community and professional organizations in the minority community? For the record Black leadership represent the interest of the White power structure first. The organizational interest is represented only in the promotion of personal goals that relate to organizational interest. It is difficult to detect if Black organizations in Chattanooga respond to the cultural value framework described by Henderson. However, the interview data does stipulate that these organizations traditionally move from a class perspective and are consistently motivated by economic gain.
In sum, Professor Henderson argues a point that is quite clear in view of the situation in Chattanooga. Henderson argues that “Black administrators do not automatically represent the interests of Blacks or other groups.” Also, in view of the previous mentioned factors Chattanooga’s Black organizations (Black Caucus specifically) do not automatically Represent the interests of Black voters. From Henderson’s theories, Chattanooga’s Black leadership and organizations should relate to well defined cultural values that concern the interest of the majority Black population.
Richard O. Hope notes the patterns of Black leadership in Black organizations. Hope’s thesis differs from Henderson’s, because he only views three leadership styles involved in Black organizations. In so doing, Hope does not consider cultural values in describing his leadership styles. Therefore, he argues for three leadership patterns within the Weberian framework. These leadership patterns are the charismatic, traditional and legal-bureaucratic leadership types.
Within these leadership models can be found the changing patterns of Black leadership. “It will also be observed that there are incongruities found in this Weberian model which fail to account for patterns of racism in this country.”
The unaccountability for racism in the Weberian model can be identified in the ever changing organizational and leadership patterns in the Black community. A key argument in Hope’s discussion is that White society seeks to control Black organizations. The essential nature of this argument is evident in view of the plight of Black organizations in Chattanooga. Black organizations are dominated by the White power structure on all levels, not only in Chattanooga, but throughout America.

THOSE THAT HAVE LIED ABOUT THEIR CALLING WILL BE JUDGED. WE WILL SOON SEE THE WRATH OF GOD EXTENDED TO THOSE THAT SERVE MAN AND NOT GOD.
ANY MAN WHO CLAIMS TO BE A PREACHER (RELIGIOUS LEADER) THAT FEARS MAN AND NOT GOD IS A FOOL- HELL BOUND.

CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE A CASE STUDY IN RACISM AND BLACK ON
BLACK DISCRIMINATION
Contemporary Sodom and Gomorrah: Vice, Infamy, Judgment
(Updated 11 August 2006. Editors note: all information in this series is taken from a Doctoral Dissertation that was rejected by the Political Science Department at Atlanta University now know as Clark AU in Atlanta, GA)
Part 10: Hypocrisy Personified: NAACP, Urban League, PUSH, SCLC, Unity Group, And Black Caucus
The two oldest Black Civil Rights organizations are the National Association for The Advancement of Colored People and the Urban League. Both organizations have a local office in Chattanooga. A brief description of the development of these organizations will allow us to draw interesting parallels. This evaluation will also benefit our understanding of contemporary Civil Rights organizations in Chattanooga and throughout the United States. A primary point to consider in analyzing Black organizations in Chattanooga is the argument made previously by Richard Hope. Hope argues in general terms, concerning the White control factor of Black organizations. Chuck Stone is more specific in critiquing the NAACP. Stone argues that “the NAACP is guided, financed and controlled by White people.”
Recently a veteran of the Civil and Human Rights struggle made the following assessment of the NAACP. Nathan Hare (Black Think Tank, San Francisco) in a message to the FreedomJournal regarding the willful and premeditated Censorship of Afro-Centric Black Publishers and writers argues: “beyond getting new jobs for Blacks in the media, the NAACP needs to deal with editorial and publishing restrictions and also limitations of distribution on the print side of the hill. Often, the addition of token Blacks to the managerial roster, though a good thing for other reasons, is nothing more than adding a powerless Black rubber stamp to what the book or magazine industry publishes.”
The NAACP was founded in 1909. Kenneth Clark in noting the role of W.E. B. DuBois in founding the organization argues that: “The NAACP, from its beginning, took a more direct and militant stance, in spite of the fact that its founders and its Board of Directors were always interracial.”
W.E.B. DuBois projected the militant stance of the NAACP. The evidence reveals that this stance is not a part of the NAACP’s program today. The Urban League was founded a year later than the NAACP in 1910. While the NAACP worked to solve racial problems through legislation and litigation, the Urban League was founded “specifically to ease the transition of the southern rural Negro into an urban way of life.”
The Urban League, as an interracial organization, seeks to secure equal opportunities for Blacks and other minorities through the economic sector. The local chapters of the NAACP and the Urban League in Chattanooga both follow the arguments assigned by Hope and Chuck Stone.
The NAACP and Urban League as allegedly nonpartisan organizations, often claim non-involvement in the political arena. However all of the Civil Rights organizations are political and have direct involvement in the political process. Therefore the NAACP, the Urban League, PUSH, SCLC all are controlled and financed by people outside the Black community. Thus, it does not take a brain surgeon to conclude that these organizations represent the interest of economic racism and mis-guided elements in the Black Middle-Class.
The Unity Group on the local level is an organization headed by Mr. Paul McDaniel. McDaniel is also a pastor of one of the largest churches in Chattanooga. Mr. McDaniel also served for many years on the Hamilton County Commission. Recently Paul McDaniel and his cadre of Uncle Toms: Johnny Holloway (also moderator of PUSH), Sherman Matthews, and Quenston Coleman harassed Psyche Publishing and rebuked the biography of the first Black Police Chief in the history of Chattanooga. (Chief Ralph (Big Ralph) Cothran). We will reveal a detailed discussion of the Crimes of Treason committed by these Negroes later in this series.
For the record The FreedomJournal Declares that Almighty God called Ministers to the Church for everlasting. God did not call part-time Ministers. God also did not call Ministers to lay down the cloth for the political arena or any other profession. Nor did God call Ministers to serve another Master. Mr. Ed. Burkeen in an early interview with this writer made some interesting comments with respect to religion and politics. Mr. Burkeen noted that “Ministers should stay out of politics; they should not be in the vanguard.” Mr. Burkeen clarified his statements by noting that ministers may run for political office, but only in cases where they are not holding a full-time pastorship at a church. “Religious minded people want ministers to preach. The concept regarding politics and religion is different in the South than in the North or East.”
In a direct reference to Paul McDaniel Mr. Burkeen notes: “Ministers that involve themselves in politics have their values mixed up. Ministers have sold out to the highest bidder just like other political figures. One would think that the duties of a minister would not allow him time to involve himself in politics.”
Despite the profession of Black leaders in Chattanooga, many observers’ view that Black leaders in Chattanooga (in the United States and the Diaspora) have serious problems. The main problem is that these leaders and organizations only serve to serve themselves and flunky for the White power structure. The Unity Group is an organization that is largely composed of members of McDaniel’s church. Most if not all members are Precinct Chairmen, appointed officials and community workers. Potential candidates for public office contact the Unity Group, but the organization generally functions as a source of revenue for McDaniel and his personal political base.
God will Judge Chattanooga (and the world) and especially those that have made claims to be Shepherds of His flock. The Scriptures make clear statements on the wrath of God for those that Mis-Lead His people. We pray for the so-called Preachers of Chattanooga and the world. If there is a Godly Preacher anywhere in Chattanooga Will He Please Stand Up? We call on the Godly Preachers to Stand Up For God and Stop the Tradition of taking Pay-Offs from the racist’s ungodly elements that seek to destroy the people of God.
