Indians One Day....

Negros The Next... Estates 'n Such.

The people of the land should never, ever forget how profit driven corporations, bureaus, agencies, districts, municipalities, and such can often run rough shod over the rights and fair dealing we are guaranteed in this nation's charter. It's just the nature of business, that “is” what business does, historically. Business is revenue and everything is for sale. Don’t believe me, research the term “The History of the U.S. Railroads” in the states united. It’s grimy.

Early on, foreign interests figured out the game. They figured out that they could set up shop on this land, legit, just by forming a corporation. They did. Once established the “corporation” was outside of “constitutional restraints” and thus they could do and act as they pleased, to a point.

THIS IS WHERE THE LINES ARE BLURRED. THE AVERAGE PERSON HAS NOT BEEN EDUCATED AS TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “STATE [ESTATES] AND CORPORATIONS.” THEY DO NOT KNOW THE LIMITS OF CORPORATE POWER. Thus they allow “private” corporations to masquerade as “government” and lord over them. They allow intrusion into private affairs, and they are powerless to seek legal redress. They never learned the “game.”

Such was the case in the with racial, or ethnic designations in the past, as it is today with information and data. It is utilized to “forward a position,” by corporations, for a certain class of people. They figured out that they could take the naive, uneducated, population into CORPORATE FAIRY TALE LAND, and play all sorts of dangerous games with the estates of indigenous American “Negro” Indians. Not just us, “Indians,” of all hues. From “white skinned Mulattos to copper brown, “Indians,” or Pre-colonials, with blood ties to the land, it didn’t matter, it does not matter, they want access to the estates, real estates from those with real standing.

One such evil, racist, forward thinking mastermind was Walter Plecker. A devil incarnate, I believe. Look for yourself?

“Walter Ashby Plecker was a physician and the first Virginia state registrar of vital statistics, a position he served in from 1912 to 1946. He was a staunch promoter of eugenics, a discredited movement aimed at scientifically proving white racial superiority and thereby justifying the marginalizing of non-white people. Employing Virginia’s Act to Preserve Racial Integrity (1924), Plecker effectively separated Virginia citizens into two simplified racial categories: white and colored.”

“The law, which remained in effect until 1967, when it was overturned by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Loving v. Virginia , required that a racial description of every person be recorded at birth, while criminalizing marriages between whites and non-whites. Plecker’s policies used deceptive scientific evidence to deem Blacks a lesser class of human beings, but they also targeted poor whites and anyone he or other eugenicists considered “feebleminded.”

“Asserting that Virginia Indians were, in fact, “mixed-blooded negroes,” Plecker also pressured state agencies into reclassifying Indians as “colored.” The policy’s legacy was effectively to erase “Indian” as an identity and has made it difficult for Virginia Indians to gain state and federal recognition.”

“Walter Ashby Plecker was born in Augusta County, Virginia, on April 2, 1861, the son of a well-to-do merchant and enslaver. In 1880 Plecker graduated from Hoover Military Academy in Staunton and earned his medical degree from the University of Maryland Medical School in 1885. Plecker worked as a country doctor in western Virginia and the coalfields of Alabama before settling in Elizabeth City County, the area that is now Hampton, in 1892. In 1902 he became the public health officer for Elizabeth City County.”

“He took a special interest in delivering babies; educating midwives; developing a simple, use-at-home incubator; and working to reduce by half the 5 percent birth–mortality rates among the poor. Plecker distributed silver nitrate to be administered to the eyes of newborns, a procedure that helped reduce incidences of syphilitic blindness. He also kept records to search for ways to improve birthing, a goal made more difficult by the fact that most people were born (and died) at home.”

“In 1912 Virginia lawmakers established the Bureau of Vital Statistics and designated Plecker to serve as its head. The bureau ensured that from 1912 onward, all babies born in Virginia received birth certificates and that the certificates included racial designations, usually supplied by the midwives who delivered the babies. Plecker’s goals as registrar were initially laudable: he kept midwives under close supervision to make sure their procedures were sanitary. When Virginia passed the Racial Integrity Act in 1924, however, the focus of his scrutiny changed from hygiene to racial classification.”

“During the 1920s, Plecker became an advocate of the pseudoscientific claims of eugenics. The word, coined in 1883 by Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, means “well born.” Eugenicists argued that racial and genetic purity resulted in a more stable society. The latter could be obtained by restricting the parental rights of the developmentally disabled, or “feebleminded,” as Virginia did when it sterilized Carrie Buck. (The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the state to proceed with the sterilization in its 1927 decision in Buck v. Bell.) To obtain the former, the state enacted strict segregation laws and a prohibition on intermarriage.”

“At its height of popularity in the first half of the twentieth century, eugenics was used by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany to justify the marginalization and, eventually, the killing of European Jews. In Virginia, it provided a scientific rationale for white supremacy, a movement that in part sought to restore the antebellum social order of white authority and Black subservience. To this end, eugenics conveniently “proved” that whites belonged to the master race and that race mixing would fatally undermine their authority.”

“Together with John Powell, a renowned pianist from Richmond who founded the Anglo-Saxon Clubs of America, and Earnest Sevier Cox, another white supremacist and author of White America (1923), Plecker successfully advocated for the Virginia General Assembly to pass the Racial Integrity Act of 1924. The legislation prohibited whites from marrying non-whites, and explicitly defined racial classifications: “The term ‘white person’ shall apply only to such person as has no trace whatever of any blood other than Caucasian.” All others were “colored.”

“In addition, the law asked people to voluntarily register their racial identity with the Bureau of Vital Statistics, making the falsification of one’s racial identity, or “color,” on a marriage license or birth certificate a felony offense punishable by up to one year in prison.”

“As director of the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics, Plecker was charged with enforcing the new law. He did so zealously, instructing clerks to “withhold the granting of the license until satisfactory proof is produced that both applicants are ‘white persons.'”

“Registration with the bureau was voluntary; it was necessary, however, in order to enroll in school, register for the draft, or marry. Birth certificates with a racial designation also became required.”

TIMELINE

April 2, 1861 Walter Ashby Plecker is born in Augusta County.

1880 Walter Plecker graduates from Hoover Military Academy in Staunton.

1885 Walter Plecker earns his medical degree from the University of Maryland Medical School.

1902 Walter Plecker becomes the public health officer for Elizabeth City County.

1912 Walter Plecker is named the state registrar for the Virginia Bureau of Vital Statistics. He ensures that all babies born in Virginia receive birth certificates.

March 20, 1924 Governor E. Lee Trinkle signs "An act to Preserve Racial Integrity," a law aimed at protecting whiteness on the state level. It prohibits interracial marriage, defines a white person as someone who has no discernible non-white ancestry, and requires that birth and marriage certificates indicate people's races.

March 4, 1930 Governor John Garland Pollard signs into law a bill that would redefine a "colored person" as having any "negro blood."

January 1943 Walter Plecker issues a letter to local registrars identifying surnames he claims belong only to "mongrel," or mixed-race, families. He suspects these families of being African American but passing as white.

1946 Walter Plecker retires from the Bureau of Vital Statistics after thirty-six years at its head.

August 2, 1947 Walter Plecker dies in Richmond after being hit by a car. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetery.

June 12, 1967 In Loving v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rules that Virginia's antimiscegenation statutes violate the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment. The decision effectively overturns the bans on interracial marriage in sixteen states.

1997 Fifty years after Walter Plecker's death, Governor George Allen makes correcting birth certificates easier for Virginia Indians.

June 3, 2009 The Federal Recognition Act of 2009 passes the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill, which would extend federal recognition to six Indian tribes in Virginia, must still pass the U.S. Senate, but this is the furthest the bill has ever gone.” id.

See, devils play long range. Walter Plecker, Francis Galton, Frank Boaz, inter alia, Melville Herkovitz and Charles Darwin were all hardcore eugenicists. They had a vision in their minds, I beieve, and they executed it, each person playing a different role.

Plecker handled the paperwork to erase the “Indian,” Galton, Boaz, and Darwin created the “science,” and Herkovitz created the ENTIRE AFRICA THEORY, to cover up the truth as to where all of these “dark people” in the states united come from. Erase the Indians on paper, send them to school to forget, and then place their ancestors in AFRICA “SOMEWHERE,” not the land, these lands, of our Grandmothers and Grandfathers. They “almost” stole the estates by fraud. They have expropriated trillions…

It’s not “reparations,” it’s “restitution.”
