We're now into the swing of a new decade. As I expected, there is all this cream and sugar talk about new beginnings and great expectations. Then there's the milk and honey talk about peace, love and goodwill toward man.

Well, contrary to what President Bush would like me to believe, I am not better off than I was 10 years ago. Even if I were, it would be because of the law of averages, not the result of anything he or Ronald Reagan did.

All I see is a carrying over of problems from the 1980s. The biggest problem in America is the growing tide of racism. Racism is alive and well, believe it.

Those who think different would be best advised to wake up and take a look at Bensonhurst and what I call "Stuartgate" in Boston. In Bensonhurst last fall, a pack of white teenagers chased down a young black man and killed him.

"Stuartgate" is the current case where a black man was well on his way to the electric chair because he was framed by that deranged wildman Charles Stuart.

What gets me is even after the hoax was revealed, no retribution was given for the falsely accused. It's almost as if everyone said it was OK to frame him. He's just a black man anyway.

Also not to be forgotten is the recent wave of racial bombings in the South. The rationale is what really gets me. The perpetrators said they will send out a bomb for every white woman raped by a black man.

According to the national organization Men Stopping Rape Inc., 13 percent of all rapes are interracial, and the vast majority of those are white men raping black women.

If anyone should be sending out bombs, it should be us. The only reason I can think of for this resurgence in racism is simple: the subversive plot to kill all African Americans is slowly being played out.

Before I go on and this is by no means a disclaimer, let me just say not all white people are involved. In fact, such a small number of whites are involved, most of the rest don't know about this plot.

When I say subversive plot, I'm saying the government intends to see the destruction of every African American man, woman and child in America. I base this assertion on three things: drugs, AIDS and those "random" acts of violence perpetrated against African Americans.

Our government always says it can't stop the flow of drugs into this country. I say why would it, especially if drugs are serving their interests? I believe that whenever something bad continues to proliferate after so-called attempts to stop it, someone is profiting.

Officials don't want to stop the drug trade because too many people, including the government, profit from it.

So don't believe the hype. All this talk about drug wars and drug education is bogus. We, especially black people, know the government could stop the drug flow if it wanted.

I suggest we start calling the FBI the Federal Bureau of Importation and the CIA the Cocaine Importation Agency. These guys seem to be masters at covert operations and intelligence activities, but they can't stop a white, powdery substance from flowing into America.

AIDS, however is the biggest proof that the government intends to see our destruction. For a long time I had heard talk about how AIDS was created.

Common sense should tell you there might be some truth to this assertion, that killer epidemics don't just pop up. I saw a videotape called the Strecker Memorandum recently. I found what I heard not only shocking but scary.

I base the second part of my argument on two points that Dr. Strecker, a gastroenterologist who treats AIDS patients, made: AIDS is incurable and the virus was created.

The real story behind the disease, I believe, is that the government -- fed up with the amount of political power African Americans were gaining and fearful of a black revolution -- called for the creation of a virus that would wipe out the entire race.

I think the government paid geneticists vast amounts of money to create the second coming of the plague. To divert attention from the deception, a propaganda campaign was launched where the disease would be blamed first on Haitians and then on gay men.

Incidentally, Strecker said AIDS is not a homosexual disease. He argued the largest number of people dying of AIDS is in Africa, and that these people are not gay or drug users. Once the virus was created, it was dumped in Africa to spread death and destruction.

AIDS is now spreading faster among low-income blacks than any other segment of the population, including gays, according to a recent issue of Time.

Don't believe it can't happen because it already did with a Tuskegee syphilis experiment. In this "experiment," the U.S. Public Health Service working with Tuskegee and other agencies, deliberately withheld treatment from 400 black people in Alabama between 1932 and 1972 "to study the progress of a disease whose course was already well known" (Time, Jan. 22, 1990 p. 20).

Because the government will not protect us and intends to see the demise of the entire African American race, then we must do whatever is necessary to defend ourselves.

We will use any means necessary, including violence, to ensure that our African American women and children can live without fear on the planet. If the government continues to refuse to give us what is rightfully ours, like reparations, then ultimately we will be forced to make violence the rule and not the exception.
