When the Freedom Party was founded in 1994, the purpose was not for Blacks to replace the Democratic Party or the Republican Party but to create a political party consistent with the teachings of our revered ancestors. Neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party fitted the bill. Blacks need political options. It is too risky for us to be simply "political pawns". We must become "political mavericks".
The first step is to understand politics in the United States, because when political institutions were established in North America, our revered ancestors were still enslaved. They did not come to the United States on the Mayflower. Instead they came to the United States on slave ships and; therefore, Blacks, are still in slavery. Your ship would perpetually define your citizenship rights.
When the Europeans ratified the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, they ended the institution of slavery but continued all "badges of slavery". There has been very little litigation over the legal concept of "badges of slavery". Lawyers have skipped slavery and have focused on the Fourteenth Amendment. Thus, the legal foundation for citizenship rights, under the Fourteenth Amendment, remains weak."
