More DescriptionRacial prejudice of perceptionally appearing Black Americans is a function ofthe unique legal factors of Anglo-American servitude.The continental American slave trade was driven by the huge profits ofrefined sugar.In the 1600s, England implanted bi-racial slavery in its American colonies.Eventually, all the servants became perceptionally appearing black people.Thereby was fashioned the slave culture of the "Old Colonial South."In the late 1700s, the institution of slavery was dying in the new country -the United States of America.The advent of the cotton gin revitalized the institution of slavery in theSouth. The Antebellum culture "King Cotton" was formed.The United States Civil War of 1861-1865 destroyed the slave culture of"King Cotton."Upon the termination of the CivilWar, a struggle over control of the Southtook place between the Confederate veterans, organized as the Ku Klux Klan,and a coalition of perceptionally appearing white people and ex-servants. TheKu Klux Klan won the struggle.Thus was formed the culture called "The New South" - an unrecognizedculture of bi-racial, feudal, criminal servitude. Because the servitude was* bi-racial* and the word slavery was taboo,"The New South" was not recognized as a culture of slavery.In 1965, the culture of "The New South" was miraculously transformedpeacefully, overnight, by the following:* the internal combustion engine had made slavery non-utilitarian,* the United States Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education,of 1954, had made segregation unconstitutional,* the efforts of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,* the rock and roll television performances and records of Elvis Presleyin 1954-1957 had mentally conditioned perceptionally appearing young,white, southern lowland people to peacefully accept integration,* and the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.In 1971, Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson formed P.U.S.H. - People United toSave Humanity. In Saturday morning meetings, he* called perceptionally appearing Black Americans"Afro-Americans,"* directed them to focus on the bitterness of the past.This resulted in the hatred of perceptionally appearing white people.P.U.S.H. had another meaning, push white people.When some perceptionally appearing black people adhered to ReverendJackson, they turned their backs on their white deity. Now they had no G-d.When that happened, the gift of the divine chord of beautiful black Americanmusic was severed.What emerged was the "Afro-American" musical culture of pain and chaos.
