Uncle Tom's Uncle Uncle Tom’s Uncle Uncle Tom’s Uncle The Case for Reparations (And why I don’t want them) Ronald Dennis Chism Values Press All Rights Reserved Copyright © 2021 by Ron Chism First Edition Published in the United States by Values Press Created in the United States of America Acknowledgements edicated to my father, Nathaniel Spain Chism, who, by his example, taught me the power of steadiness, dignity, hard work, D and non-judgmental acceptance of others. To my mother, Azelma Dolores Chism, who, by her example, taught me to not wait until “didn’t.” (Don’t worry, you’ll read about “didn’t”), and not to ever, ever give up until you’ve won, or died trying. To my big brother-brother, Marcus Burnell Chism, aka, Yeshiah Ben Shaleak, who, by concrete example, taught me that nobody defines me, and nobody corrals me, because I’m “a man on the planet, unbound.” To my wife of 31 years, Morna, whose external life, every single nano- second, reflects her inner spiritual belief in, reliance upon, and love of The Divine and gives me a daily example to continue trying to emulate. Without her, I could do nothing. To Carl Ferrel, who taught me how “to chess.” To Leroy Hardy, aka, Chaka Ra, who, for many of us young “Black-consciousness” men of Chicago, back in the late 1960s, greatly extended my big brother’s man- on-the-planet perspective of self, and who refused to serve as an ear for excuses. To the awesome, tough-love, no-excuses-accepted, progressive Black community of pre-1960s America, which produced, all over the United States, strong independent Black institutions and economies, regardless of segregation. More on that throughout the book. Last, to all the super-cool, so-called “dead white male” heroes of 1950s TV Westerns, who, when I was a child, I didn’t know were “dead white males.” To myself, Ralph, Jimmy, Shakes, Warren, Fantroy, Shot, Nasty, Billy, and other boys in the neighborhood, they were just brave, noble heroes who had valor; who were strong; who thwarted the evil schemes of bad guys; who saved damsels in distress, and did it all with style. It wasn’t until I got grown that I was suddenly being “informed” by “revolutionary,” so-called intellectuals of the rarefied halls of Black academia that we Black men had been “brainwashed,” when we were shorties, by Hollywood. As our Jewish friends would say, Oy vey!! Well, anyway, I give a respectful and thankful shout-out to The Lone Ranger, Matt Dillon, Maverick, Paladin, Jim Bowie, Roy Rogers, Daniel Boone, Kit Carson, Wild Bill Hickok, The Cartwrights, Bronco Lane, Buffalo Bill, Jr., Cheyenne (Cheyenne Bodie), Davey Crocket, and all the other alpha-male-heroes who never wore lavender. HI-YO, SILVER! AWAY! One special shout-out to an awesome 1950s TV Western female heroin who could literally stand on top of a rapidly galloping horse [No trick filming back then], aim, shoot her gun, and hit, dead center, a tiny hand- held target that was 50 yards away, sit back down on the horse, catch the bad guy, kick his ass, tie him up, and take him to the justice of the law: Annie Oakley!!!

  • Doctrine of Discovery: Questions and Answers
    Doctrine of Discovery: Questions and Answers Q. What is the Doctrine of Discovery? The Doctrine of Discovery is a principle of international law dating from the late 15th century. It has its roots in a papal decree issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 that specifically sanctioned and promoted the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian territories and peoples. Hundreds of years of decisions and laws continuing right up to our own time can ultimately be traced back to the Doctrine of Discovery—laws that invalidate or ignore the rights, sovereignty, and humanity of indigenous peoples in the United States and around the world. Q. Why does the Doctrine of Discovery still matter when it is over 500 years old? It is still in effect and is written into settled US law since 1823 about a land dispute between two individuals (Under Chief Justice John Marshall). It forms the basis for “Manifest Destiny,” the expansion into Indian lands. It is used to justify legal and forcible takeover of indigenous lands, without just compensation. The Discovery Doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions, most notably Johnson v. McIntosh in 1823. In this Supreme Court case, Chief Justice John Marshall's opinion in the unanimous decision held "that the principle of discovery gave European nations an absolute right to New World lands." In essence, American Indians had only a right of occupancy, which could be abolished.” (Source: www.redlakenationnews.com/story/2017/06/15/news/doctrine- of-discovery-repudiated/61672.html) It is used to interpret Indian Treaties in a way that has undermined treaty rights.
