Not Black or White, but God or Satan, Good or Evil

You know, as Christians and believers in an eternal God, we should be able to agree on what is Good or Bad or of Jesus or of Satan rather than what race we were born into. It is funny, that back in Segregation Days, the Bootleggers, Prostitutes and Money Lenders were always integrated, but the Churches and Houses of God were Segregated. If you wanted to be a Crook, there were always equal opportunities. Black city dwellers could drive to White Bootleggers up in the mountains and buy and bring back as much illegal liquor as their cars would hold. Whites Business Men would come to Black Houses of Prostitution without any fear of being harassed. The only color that mattered was the Green Back Dollar. At the same time Black Churches were being bombed and Christians who confessed the same Lord and God refused to worship with one another. So before you called me as Racist, make sure the things I say are from Satan and are Evil. If they are not, I may be what I claim to be, a follower of Jesus Christ and your Christian Brother. Judge me by the fruit I produce.

Community Access Television CAT-TV

Why is Community Access Television (CAT-TV) important to the African American Community? CAT-TV came about to give voice to the voiceless, where opinions and points of view out of the mainstream could be aired. CAT-TV was an opportunity for the People of Color to share information with their neighbors and friends. This was why CAT-TV was created. The following North Carolina cities have CAT-TV Stations; Chapel Hill, Charlotte (two Stations), Greensboro and Raleigh. All these cities have large populations of African Americans.

Why did CAT-TV go away? Was it because of lack of money or funding? Not in my opinion. It went away because the Powers That Be were being challenged. Sure, there were some very powerful personalities on CAT-TV, but remember, this country was founded and we still celebrate today, very powerful and outspoken people, we called them the Founding Fathers. CAT-TV was making the Minority Community aware of how Public Policy and Elected Officials could be held accountable and what actions needed to be taken to make Winston-Salem/Forsyth County for the people and by the people.

Looking at local media, both the Winston-Salem Journal and WSJS Radio Station should be made to register as auxiliaries of the National Republican Party. The CHRONICLE, (Black Owned Weekly Papers) is a business and must be aware that the same Powers That Be that removed CAT-TV could also remove their advertisements, which is the life’s blood of any newspaper. The Powers That Be could not threaten the CAT-TV Subscribers became, CAT-TV did not have to make a profit. CAT-TV is funded through Time Warner Cable’s monthly cable charges. This money is already being collected or a small monthly increase in local cable charges should be used to establish an independent CAT-TV Stations for the City/County. CAT-TV was becoming to popular in the African American Community, you know, it no longer knew its proper place, so it had to go. These same Powers That Be have promised to restore CAT-TV in some other form, if you believe that, I am sure you received your Forty Acres and a Mule. When the Powers That Be no longer want to hear from the people they supposedly represents and eliminate or control the people’s right to voice and express their opinions and concerns, we have lost more than just CAT-TV.
