Questions for oralcle

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Anarchy 2 : One Thread

Dear Oral-clit,Bore-acle,Snore-acle,Ora-jel. Please excuse the delay, but unlike YOU, I DO have a life away from the computer screen, outside of Mommie's cellar. As strange as it may sound to YOU, I actually interact with other humans, out in the sun, enjoy the company of females, Black, White, Asian, blondes, brunettes, and redheads! I have some observations, and some questions for you. First, some basics, so we can at least TRY to understand that scary place between your ears. We can assume by your length and quantity of postings, that you rarely interact with human beings face-to-face, whether it is a fear of Blacks, a fear of females, a fear of rejection from homosexuals, or whatever fears your little mind conjures up. But on the rare occasion you DO interact, say with Mommie when she calls you up from the cellar, do you STILL refer to yourself as the Ora-jel, I mean, Oralcle, and do you still always refer to yourself in the third person? (For Ora-jel's fan club and like-minded dolts, that means he calls himself "The Oracle", or "He") By the way, do you know that in correct grammar, the only time "He" is used, capitalized and not starting a sentence, is when referring to God? But then, you don't believe in God, or consider YOURSELF to be a deity(that means God, fan club). Anyway, let me begin to dissect your confused, illogical theories. I could do it with one, short sentence, but some of the Dear and gentle readers(your fan club) would not understand. First of all, as in ALL other posts where someone asks you questions that the honest answers to will prove you wrong, you chose not to answer my most important question from my original post, choosing instead to make one of your patented,long, boring,uninformative circular arguments,trying to distract from what was asked of you. I asked, can YOU perform ANY of the scientific accomplishments(which you tried to imply to the Dear and gentle readers were not GROUNDBREAKING ACHIEVEMENTS, which is a lie, on your part) of the over 100 black Nuclear Physicists, Scientists who helped develop the telephone with Bell, the light bulb with Edison,etc., and developed their OWN inventions, Aerospace Engineers,Astrophysicists, Particle Physicists, Shuttle Pilots, Mission Commanders, etc., which you called a "handfull", ANOTHER lie. That's TWO lies so far. SO, I asked if YOU, thinking yourself superior to black men and women, can perform any of their historic feats, any similar contribution to our society. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm? Can you,oh wise and superior Ora-jel? Well, if you can't, then all the Dear and gentle readers of this forum would have to conclude that YOU are INFERIOR to EVERY ONE of those BLACK MEN and WOMEN. That those BLACK men and women are SUPERIOR to you. Will you admit that they are intellectually SUPERIOR to your WHITE self? If you cannot, then I submit you are a sham and intellectually DISHONEST, disqualifying you from further notice.

Now, you claim that we all belong to different "groups", and we must all be separated and judged, as a "group". How quaint. Well, I hate to burst your demented bubble, but "GROUPS" mean NOTHING, all that matters is individual achievement, when it comes to Human Beings. At least in the modern, civilized areas of this world, that has been recognized by SCIENCE, pathology and sociology for over 50 years. I shall demonstrate. The span of idiot to genius is in EVERY RACE, therefore "groups" ceased to have meaning in that context, once that was discovered. What ARE "groups", Ora-jel? You consider yourself part of the "white group". So that means that all members of your "group" are the same, compared to the "black group". So this means, that one of those white guys you see sleeping on the sidewalk, in a doorway, soaking in his own piss, shit, and vomit,holding an empty vodka bottle, is EXACTLY the SAME as YOU. All "whites" are the same, and all "blacks" are the same. Are Northern English, near Scotland, the same as Southern English, near London? Do they speak with the same accent, do they have the same bloodlines? Are Northern Italians, with blonde hair and blue eyes, the same as Southern Italians, with blak hair, brown eyes,? How about people with a Chinese mother and a black father, or a Mexican mother and a Swedish father, or an Aborigine mother and a German father? What "GROUPS" do THEY belong to Ora-jel, and how can we classify THEIR intelligence or "EQUALITY"? What's that, I can't hear you........ Did you say, we have to test, or judge them INDIVIDUALLY? Oh, that's remarkable! Are you starting to see how silly you have been, how all those years in a cellar have stunted your socialogical growth? Is a "group from the Bronx the same as one from Queens? Is a "white" family group that lives at 26 Elm St. the "same" as a white family group that live at 28 Elm St., right next door?

You poor, tortured soul. I've always wondered what makes guys like you tick. Even if I was black, I still wouldn't hate you. I feel only pity for you. What painful, scarring experiences have you been thru to make you waste time on such a subject? That's why it took me a week to respond, time is too precious for this on a regular basis. You consider yourself intelligent,yes? What is the difference between your stated opinions about people with dark skin, and Goebbles and company's opinions about Jews in 1939? Or better yet, the Muslim Fundamentalists opinions about non-Muslims, and Americans? We, the CIVILIZED people of the world, have outgrown your ideology. It's 2004. Normal people don't spend ONE MINUTE, let alone the months, maybe YEARS you have wasted sitting at a computer, writing circular arguments, most of it verbose, unneccesary words. Do you fancy yourself a writer, and you're stuck on one subject? Well, I can't waste too much of my time trying to figure out YOUR mutated little neurons buzzing around in your head, I'm not being paid $75 an hour couch fee for psychiatry. But I think all the Dear and gentle readers will find it instructive, that the large list of BLACK Nuclear physicists, astrophysicists,scientists,particle physicists, etc.,frightened you. You actually said, "These handful(which were over 100) of people, whose accomplishments you deem important"(which were Groundbreaking Discoveries, changing the world), like you could, with any intellectual honesty, dismiss or diminish their acheivements. Why such fear? So they're Black, and they're geniuses! So what! How does that hurt you? Only if you're stuck in this "group" mode. Like I told you, this is 2004. Groups mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Individual Achievement is EVERYTHING. I'll do you a favor, Ora-jel, and if you live long enough, you will see it too. I will tell you the only "group" that will ever matter. If someday a group of hostile aliens from another planet comes here to destroy us, and we have a slim chance to win and must fight for our survival, then you will see your folly, you will see the importance, and the equality, of the "Black group", the "Asian group, etc. I just hope the more backward sectors of mankind wake up before it's too late. Mike.

P.S. Ora-jel, PLEASE don't try that very lame, weak, and irrelevant bit about the Earth being flat before Columbus. He came out with a NEW theory, that challenged the OLD, SUPERSTITIOUS belief system. What you have been trying is the OLD, debunked, PRIMITIVE theory that has been replaced by the NEW, MODERN, and CIVILIZED one. Unless you've seen the light. And as promised, here is your list, this time I didn't cut it short. There is more names on other sources, but this will suffice. The Oral-Kill ALWAYS keeps his promises. Hahahahahahahaha!

The creativity and resourcefulness of African Americans were very much alive after the destructive period of the Civil War. There was a tremendous growth in industry during this period, and despite the hardships and nearly universal suppression, by the year 1913 black inventors had patented an estimated one thousand inventions. Their creative genius was felt in such diverse fields as electrical equipment, industrial machinery, rapid transportation, chemical compounds, and throughout many other areas of the industrial arts. These black pioneers were pressing forward with the zeal and excitement of the new era.

THEORETICAL PHYSICS

British physicist James Clerk Maxwell advanced the theory of the electromagnetic nature of light in 1873 in his thesis Treatise on Electric

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ity and Magnetism. Expanding on this thesis, Heinrich Rudolf Hertz discovered electromagnetic waves in 1887, which led to the development of wireless communication and the commercial success of radio in the 1920s. By 1900, many scientists were focused on unveiling the secrets of the electromagnetic spectrum that included light, heat, and radio waves.

Early pioneering black scientists were also eager to expand the knowledge of this spectrum of energy sources. The first African American to receive his Ph.D. was Edward A. Bouchet (Yale University, 1876) and his concentration was in physics. Dr. Elmer Samuel Imes (a brilliant African American physicist) received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Michigan in 1918. Dr. Imes' contribution in advancing the examination of theoretical physics is significant. Historian and economist, James G. Spady elaborates on this point as he writes:

Elmer S. Imes ... established definitely that the quantum theory could be extended to include rotational states of molecules. His doctoral dissertation, one of two known publications by Imes, appeared in the Astrophysical Journal, 1919. Measure- ments of the Near Infrared Absorption Spectra of Some Di- atomic Molecules initiated the field of high-resolution spec- tral studies. This alone earned for Imes a lasting place in both theoretical and industrial physics.3

DR. CHEIKH ANTA DIOP

Albert Einstein, the best known scientist of the 20th Century, began publishing his theoretical papers in 1905. His third major paper in 1905, The Special Theory of Relativity, left many scientists scratching their heads; in general, the mainstream scientific community did not understand or agree with his thesis. The principle of relativity and the principle of the invariance of the speed of light (the speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant) were the two main postulates of this

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age revolutionary theory. His most famous theorem, E=MC2 (energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared) is a symbolic reminder of his legacy and impact on the 20th Century. James G. Spady's comments on Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop's (1923-1986: the Senegalese physicist and African-Egyptologist, and a brilliant linguist, anthropologist, archeologist, historian and political activist) interest in Einstein's theories is fascinating.4 He tells us that, "At a time when only a handful of people in the world understood Einstein's relativity theory, Diop translated a major portion of it into Wolof, the language of his people." During a period of his scientific career, Dr. Diop worked in one of the most distinguished nuclear research centers in France. This particular center was established by Frederick Joliot-Curie, "son-in-law of Marie Curie who, with her husband Pierre, won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of radium."

As a Black African Futurist, Diop believed that as the world's oil reserves are depleted, nuclear fusion (thermonuclear), solar and other energy sources would be the best replacements. He envisioned the replacement of gasoline-fueled automobiles by hydrogen-fueled vehicles, a process that is being examined in research laboratories around the world. Diop felt that the continent of Africa has enormous natural potential for generating many forms of energy sources. In his book, Black Africa, he explored a number of possibilities for continental growth, unity and development.

Advances in Quantum Mechanics in the decades preceding the beginning of World War II, gave the world a mathematical foundation for describing the physical phenomena of electromagnetic waves and atoms. Further advances led to new fields of study in physics: elementary particle physics, superconductivity, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics and other specially defined areas.

BLACK NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS AND THE

MANHATTAN PROJECT

Near the close of the war, both the United States and Germany were in a race against time to develop the world's most destructive weapon in history; the atom bomb. In America, the people and institutions involved this project were under tight security. Scientists working on the Manhattan Project (code name for the atom bomb project) were under oaths of secrecy not to reveal its development. There was real concern in President Truman's Administration that the Germans might have been the first to develop this weapon. Thus, billions of dollars were secretly earmarked for this top secret undertaking. Some of the best nuclear minds in the world were focused on this project. The more popular and well known physicists associated with the Manhattan Project were J. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the Los Alamos Laboratory (the place where the bomb was being assembled), Ernest O. Lawrence of the Radiation Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley; and Enrico Fermi and Arthur H. Compton of the University of Chicago.

Dr. LLOYD QUARTERMAN

In recent years the world has come to learn that there were many black scientists that also worked on the Manhattan Project. Dr. Lloyd Quarterman of Columbia University, one of the black nuclear scientists that worked on the atom bomb, was specifically cited by the U.S. Secretary of War for "work essential to the production of the Atomic Bomb, thereby contributing to the successful conclusion of World War II." In a rare interview session with Professor Ivan Van Sertima in 1979, Dr. Quarterman revealed some little known facts regarding his life's work and the other black scientists that worked on the Manhattan Project and other research activities. In his words, "...the world's first nuclear reactor, which used the atomic splitting process in a peaceful way, was set up here in Chicago. It was under an Italian scientist, Enrico Fermi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age In 1948 I did all my quantum mechanics under him."

In addition to Quarterman, over 12 black scientists worked on the Manhattan Project. Dr. Ernest J. Wilkins and Dr. William J. Knox, who like Quarterman, played leading roles in helping to solve the riddle of the atom. The other scientists included Sidney Thompson, George W. Reed, Clarence Turner, Dr. Moddie Taylor, Robert J. Omohundro, Sherman Carter, Jasper Jeffries, Benjamin Scott, Ralph Gardner, Harold Evans and Clyde Dillard.5

As one of the leading black scientists on the Manhattan Project, Dr. Quarterman's brilliant career included a period of time working with Einstein at Columbia University, and a period of critical research at the Argonne National Laboratory, which he joined in 1946. At Argonne, major research and development of nuclear reactors took place. The team of scientists that Dr. Quarterman worked with developed the first nuclear reactor for the Nautilus, an atomic powered submarine.

DR. HENRY T. SAMPSON

African American contributions in the area of nuclear physics have been substantial in the 20th Century. Many of these scientists have labored in research laboratories around the world, receiving little or no recognition for their significant inventions, penetrating research and creative ideas. While researching this area, it was our good fortune to have made contact with Dr. Henry T. Sampson, the inventor of the Gamma-Electric Cell. Dr. Sampson received his BS degree from Purdue University, his MsC from UCLA, and a MsC and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. For many years he was the Director of Mission Development and Operations, Space Test Program at the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California, where a great deal of his pioneering work was developed. Continuing in the scientific tradition similar to Drs. Quarterman, Knox, Diop and others,

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Sampson's Gamma-Electric Cell device converts nuclear radiation from reactors or isotopes, directly into electricity without going through a heat cycle. The device was awarded patent number 3,591,860 on July 6, 1971. In the nuclear fission process, which involves the splitting of the atom, radioactive materials emit ionizing radiation that can cause serious damage to living tissues. Constructive methods to convert these powerful radiating energies into practical and safe energy sources, is the fundamental philosophy behind the development of Sampson's Gamma-Electric Cell. His device represents one of the peaceful solutions towards the use of nuclear fissionable products.6

In a completely different arena, Dr. Henry T. Sampson is best known as one of the most important black writers of this century. Sampson's area of concentration in this field has been the black presence in the film and entertainment industries. His extensive writings in this area are widely recognized as important source material for anyone researching this long neglected area of American history. In his now classic book entitled Blacks in Black and White: A SourceBook on Black Films (now in a newly revised and expanded 2nd Ed., 749 pp.), Sampson traces the history of the black film industry from its beginnings around 1910 to its demise in 1950, chronicling the activities of pioneer black filmmakers and performers who have been virtually ignored by film historians.

DR. SHIRLEY A. JACKSON

Following in the tradition of black scientists in physics, Dr. Shirley A. Jackson received her doctorate from MIT in theoretical physics. From 1976 until 1991, Dr. Jackson conducted research in solid state and quantum physics, theoretical physics and optical physics at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Since July 1, 1995, she has held the Chairmanship of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age BLACK PEOPLE and SPACE SCIENCE

Many African Americans have made very significant contributions to the space program throughout its nearly four decade existence. Colonel Guy Bluford, Dr. George R. Carruthers, Patricia Cowings, Christine Darden, Isaac Gillam IV, Colonel Frederick D.Gregory, Dr. Mae Jeminson, Dr. Ronald E. McNair, and Robert E. Shurney, are just some of the people who have made remarkable contributions to several branches of space science. It would take an entire book to describe their achievements, and we certainly cannot do that here. However, we would like to mention the significant work of some of these space pioneers.

¨ Colonel Guion S. Bluford: Colonel Bluford was the first black astronaut to journey into outer space. His maiden voy- age took place on August 30, 1983.

¨ Brigadier General Charles F. Bolden Jr., United States Marine Corps: Prior to his current assignment, Bolden was mission commander and space shuttle pilot for four space shuttle missions, including the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990. He has been one of the leading astronauts of this century.

¨ Dr. George R. Carruthers: Dr. Carruthers is a black astrophysicist and inventor of the Far Ultraviolet Camera/Spectrograph. Dr. Carruthers is one of America's most brilliant minds in the area of astrophysics and space sci- ence. He has written well over 60 articles for various scien- tific publications (Astrophysical Journal, Science, Instrumen- tation in Astronomy, The Interstellar Medium, and others) and was awarded patent number 3,478,216 on November 11, 1969 while he was still in his early twenties. The title of the patent

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- was Image Converter For Detecting Electromagnetic Radia- tion Especially In Short Wave Lengths, which clearly points to Carruthers burning interest in the electromagnetic spec- trum. His extensive research and his development of the ul- traviolet camera/telescope, broadened the scope and vision of the science of astrophysics.7

¨ Dr. Patricia Cowings: Dr. Cowings is a NASA scientist and researcher, specializing in Aerospace Medicine, Human Ves- tibular Physiology, Bioastronautics, and Psychophysiological Biological problems of long duration space travel. In her work at Ames Research Center ( at Moffett Fields, California), Dr. Cowings developed the Autogenic Feedback Training Exercise (AFTE) that includes the Autogenic Clinical Lab and biomedical monitor- ing system. In 1997, Dr. Cowings was recognized as one of the top 30 African Americans in science and technology in America.

¨ Christine M. Darden, D.Sc.: Dr. Darden is a NASA aero- nautics scientist and one of the leading thinkers working to solve the sonic boom factor, which one day will allow planes to fly at hypersonic speeds (about two to three thousand miles an hour). From 1989 to 1994, Dr. Darden was group leader of the Sonic Boom Group at NASA Langley's Systems Analy- sis Division.

¨ Colonel Frederick D. Gregory: Colonel Gregory is one of the first black astronauts, and as a test pilot of more than 40 different aircraft, he has played a major role in America's Space program. He helped to design the micro-wave instrumenta- tion landing system and has redesigned the cockpit for space shuttles in the 1980s.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age ¨ Dr. Mae Jeminson: Dr. Jeminson was the first black woman to make a historic journey into outer space. In recalling her experience aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1992, Dr. Jeminson stated that, "I felt a part of the universe, as much as a planet or the moon. That's what I remember most. Since then, I've always felt very comfortable wherever I was." A medical doctor and engineer, Jeminson had a double major in African American Studies and chemical engineering at Stanford University. After leaving NASA in 1993, she started Jeminson Group Inc. in Houston, Texas, a research organization that focuses on advance technologies, particularly those suitable and practical for developing countries.

¨ Dr. Irene Long: Dr. Long is the director of the Biomedical Operations and Research Office at the Kennedy Space Cen- ter.

¨ Dr. Ron McNair: Dr. McNair was a physicist and astronaut, and internationally known as a leader in laser physics techno-

logy. A man of many talents, Ron was also a fifth-degree black belt karate instructor and a jazz musician. Ron died aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger (in the company of six other astronauts) when it exploded in midair on January 28, 1986, one minute and thirteen seconds after lifting off from Kennedy Space Center.

¨ Benjamin F. Peery, Ph.D.: Dr. Peery is professor emeritus in astronomy at Howard University. His areas of research in- clude the physics of stellar structure, evolution and nucleo- synthesis, and the physics of interacting binary stars.

In the 21st Century there will be an enormous push to explore the vast potentials of our universe. The "Outer Space Connection," with its infinite

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- possibilities, has long been a subject of interest by black people the world over. From ancient African Civilizations, to the Dogon Cosmological System, to Benjamin Banneker of the 18th Century, to modern day astronomers and scientists such as, Benjamin Peery, the black mind has been pondering the mysteries of the universe. A great deal of excitement will be generated in the field of space science in the 21st Century, particularly as new discoveries are made and space travel becomes a practical experience through the telescopic eyes of unmanned space vehicles.

BLACK INFORMATION AGE PIONEERS

Black scientists and engineers have made significant contributions to the astounding technological advances of the 1990s. During the 1980s microcomputer revolution, many African Americans were on the frontlines, initiating major breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor technology, laser system designs, fiber optics, telecommunication system designs, and other related communication and scientific developments. Bell Laboratories, one of the largest research and development organizations in the world, provided the scientific workbench and employment for many of these innovative thinkers. In its staff of over 23,000 scientists, engineers and other types of technology experts, Bell has incorporated some of the most brilliant African Americans in these fields. Many of the approximately one to two thousand black innovators and researchers are involved in developing new scientific breakthroughs, while others concentrate on exploring the ways and means of applying the new scientific knowledge. The following is a brief chronicle of some of the leading black scientists and innovators in this arena:8

¨ David Blackwell, Ph.D: Dr. Blackwell is professor emeritus in mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley. His life's work has literally been in mathematics, and he is internationally recognized and honored for his work in statis- tical analysis.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age ¨ Brian Jackson: Jackson represents one of the most creative minds in the continuing development of semiconductor tech- nology. Working out of the Advanced Large Scale Integra- tion Development Laboratory at Murray Hill (the place where the transistor was born) during the 1980s, Jackson was one of the first scientists to experiment with using the X-ray litho- graphic technique to create designs for semiconductors. He specially designed and built a computer to automatically per- form the semiconductor inscription task, and creatively used mathematical and programming methods to fine tune the op- eration.

¨ Carolyn W. Meyers, Ph.D.: Dr. Meyers' primary research concentration is on structured property relationships in met- als, ceramics and their composites. She is the associate dean for research and interdisciplinary programs for the College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and asso- ciate professor of mechanical engineering. Prior to her work at Georgia Tech, Meyers was the director of the Center for Professional Success for the SUCCEED Coalition, which con- sists of eight engineering programs in the Southeast focused on developing engineering curricula. She is considered one of the most important professors in her field.

¨ Bartholomew 0. Nnaji, Ph.D.: Dr. Nnaji is a professor of industrial and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. His many responsibilities include his post as director of the Automation and Robotics Labora- tory at UMASS; founder and director of NEMESIS, The National Center for Computer-Aided Medical Imaging and Devices for Diagnosis and Surgical Intervention Systems; founder and chairman of Geometric Machines Corporation; and editor-in- chief of the International Journal of Design

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- and Manufacturing. Originally from Nigeria, Dr. Nnaji is an

internationally recognized expert and consultant on robotics and automation. As a robotics researcher, Dr. Nnaji has worked to develop robots that perform precision manufacturing with great efficiency. He is at the cutting edge of a revolution in robotics that is destined to fundamentally change the working environment in the 21st Century.

¨ William R. Northover: A brilliant chemist, Northover's pio- neering work at Bell Labs (from the 1960s to the 1980s) gave birth to some of the most important developments in fiber optics research. During a period of eight years of intense research, Northover and colleagues focused on the science of glass fiber lightguides that could transmit digitally coded information. In the 1990s, this technology is generally known as fiber optics, one of the most astounding scientific devel- opments of the 20th Century. Further advances in fiber optics have lead to some of this century's most incredible inventions, with the impact on the telecommunication industry being the most dramatic. Fiber optic laser systems are completely revo- lutionizing communication networks all over the world. The glass fiber lightguides that Northover helped to pioneer have expanded the entire breadth and width of the communications universe.

¨ Jesse E. Russell, Sr.: Mr. Russell's expertise and in-depth knowledge of microprocessors was applied to the telecom- munications industry in the 1970s. While working at Bell Labs in Columbus, Ohio, Russell designed a smart data terminal using Intel's first commercial microprocessor. As an innova- tive engineer, Russell came up with a new design for data terminals to monitor the frequency of phone call connections and similar types of network problems.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Black Futurists in The Information Age ¨ Earl D. Shaw: Shaw is a pioneer in laser technology and is recognized by some history books as one of the early deve-

lopers in his field. He is known as the co-inventor of the spin flip Ramon laser, "an important demonstration of lightwave turnability used for air pollution and other molecular mea- surements." Shaw's research developed a design to expand the range and complexity of laser technology.

¨ James E. West: Mr. West is a physicist and co-inventor of the foil electret, a device used to convert sound into electrical signals in hearing aids, portable tape recorders and lapel mi- crophones. Most of West's research has been conducted at the Bell Labs Murray Hill research center.

Throughout the 20th Century, the creative genius of black scientists, engineers and other technological professionals have played a major role in helping to define and invent the industrial and information age society. They have labored against enormous odds with infinite determination and perseverance to translate their dreams into reality. Despite the legacy of institutionalized racism, black scientists have remained committed to a firm belief in their ability to rise above the barriers and misinformation that would stop their progress. Superior knowledge has torn down the false images and presented a truthful reality: black scientists are very important in the struggle for overcoming the massive racism that exists in Western Civilization.

As we move steadily towards the 21st Century, let us be conscious of the need of raising up a generation of New Age black scientists that are committed to the truth and will help to ultimately work for a better tomorrow. We must encourage our young people to take on the challenge of science and technology, and to prepare themselves for the growing demands of the Information Age Revolution and the broad sweeping changes of the 21st Century. As we state many times throughout this

---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- publication, we are at one of those pivotal points in history when massive changes will sweep across the entire world and redefine how we work, play, study and interact with nature. If indeed mankind is on a collision course with nature (as some scientists have warned), then future black scientists may need to master their disciplines to not only help their people in the struggle to be successful in the new age, but also to save our world! Substantial participation by black people in the current scientific revolution will help to define the new paradigm and overall mission of science and technology in the 21st Century and beyond.

Hey, Ora-jel! One more thing. I couldn't help but notice that your sense of humor is very "underdeveloped", shall we say. Yes, I "got" your previous reference "Kent Fried Chicken" But I said to myself,"No, he couldn't be making THAT bad of a joke", so I just assumed it was a punctuation error, with no period after the "t" in Kent. I also noticed you seem to enjoy calling black people chimpanzees, correct? Well, now, I ask you. Are the above Physicists and Scientists, by far your superior in intelligence, are THEY chimpanzees? For I submit to you that if THEY are chimpanzees, then that would make YOU a......... THREE-TOED-SLOTH, maybe? A primitive marsupial, such as a WOMBAT? Or, possible your garden-variety ANTEATER! Hahahahahahahahahahahah!

Wow. You are just as long-winded and boring as the Oracle. Luckily, once I read a few comments questioning his sexuality, I had the good sense to stop reading.

To The Oral-Kill: Greetings from The Oracle. I will admit that I did not read your pathetic attempt at a post, as I am still busy trying to show some deluded Negroes in the UK the true state of their being. Isn't it amusing how these things believe that they're entitled to the same rights and respect that the White men have?

However, I am ready to admit a few things to you and the gentle readers of this board:

I have been coping with the fact that I have been infected with Hepatitis B. Through the 90's, I was ever traveling this great nation, having been thrown out by my episcopalian parents when they learned the embarrassing truth about my sexuality. To this day, I do not know if it was the intravenous drug use or the multitude of anonymous sexual encounters that gave me this "curse", if you will, but I'm not going to let it hinder my quest to change the world and help people see the truth.

Throughout most of my childhood, I was sexually abused by my father's friend, Jason Nihoff. When I came to an age of reason, I felt worthless and weak, and I often found myself feeling a bit suicidal. All of the memories of those nights, those horrible encounters, hours upon hours of rough fondling and forced sodomy... It was too much for a fragile little boy such as I was to deal with. My physical wounds have long healed, but the wounds of my heart are just starting to callous over. I trust that things will be better with time.

I have admitted these facts to the gentle readers of this board to share a little more about myself. Perhaps now, you will all feel closer to your beloved Oracle, and you shall see The Oracle as a human, and not a cold, faceless entity (I cannot imagine where this image came about).

Now I shall leave. These deluded Negroes will not help themselves.

...Humor in truth.

Dear ShutTheFuckUp- I see you are a moron, by your inability to understand a concept we Humans call comedy.My name is Oral-Kill is NOT because I have an oral fixation, but because "Oral-Kill" SOUNDS LIKE "Oracle". I think given a few days, maybe you will understand what I just said. I'll understand if you can't, I know crack babies don't usually grow to be able to handle much more than mudpies, if they get oxygen deprivation. Oops, sorry, that means you're little brain don't work so good. Anyway, from now on, you might have better luck with a nice, easy website, Look for something with Barney the Dinosaur or Big Bird. Wave Bye-Bye, Now!

Greetings to Ora-jel: I was deeply saddened to hear my worst fears confirmed. But take heart. Hepatitis C is even worse. And if your asshole is not sore anymore, than all you have to worry about is your sphincter becoming flaccid, and messing your pants all the time. Well, there's always Adult Diapers! I saw in an advertisement Depends are on sale this week! Feel Better,

Still doesn't explain your oral fixation freak! Better up your electro therapy amperage or whatever it is you require to funtion in the real world and stop bragging about the amount of crack you smoke!

"Now I shall leave."

That's the best thing The Oracle has said in the last year. You won't be missed.

To Shutthefuckup: Hey asswipe, I still don't think you understand. I know its hard for you, so I'll try and make it EVEN SIMPLER. The name "Oral-Kill" is supposed to be FUNNY, HA-HA, A JOKE, GET IT NOW< DIMWIT? GEEZ, I SURE hope the brood sow that pushed YOU out didn't have any others. I mean, I realize prostitutes are not exactly picky when it comes to genetic superiority, but if you weren't a crack baby or strung out from birth, then the old saying "The best part of you dripped down your mamma's leg" REALLY APPLIES IN YOUR CASE! BWAHAHAHAWAAHAAWAAHAHAWAAAHAHAWAAAHA! Make sure you get yourself sterilized, OK? Just go to any Mental Health Center, they will let you see a nice Doctor who is just gonna make a little snip, and then give you a nice, big lollipop! Wave Bye-Bye!
