Beckles, Jr., (a.k.a Vic "Iceman" Beckles) explore cold cases, and numerous civil rights violations in America through “The Injustice Files.” OTHER RECENT REVIEWS: Published: Feburary 14, 2011 Augusta, GA Disgraced Cop-- Deputy Jack Rackliff is being fired from the Augusta Richmond County Sheriff's Office for not being "truthful" during an interview process, and for the wrongful arrest of renown Firefighter, Military Veteran, Church Pastor, & ex-Cop; Rev. Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr. (Currently a Published Book Author and Independant Filmmaker), -Violating his civil rights, and telling jailers to keep him in jail, despite bail! Each time Rackliff was asked about the incident, his story would change, while he and the sheriff cohersed false statements alleging that Rev. Beckles was irate with the deputy, when Rev. Beckles secretly had witnesses listening to Rackliff being the one who was irate and hurling false accusations on his cell's speakerphone. Which all turned out to be case of mistaken identity, Rackliff arrested the wrong person, and he knew it. Rackliff belligerently confronted Rev. Beckles trying to get him to confess to something he didn't do; Rev. Beckles, had already called his wife, who was listening to the whole senario along with their son, and mother-in-law. Rackliff, realizing that he was busted, and when Dr. Beckles asked to speak to his attorney, the deputy got even more angry and put handcuffs on the pastor & firefighter. Needless to say, the charges was eventually dropped, followed by a civil lawsuit (one of many for uninfortunate circumstances like this which happens all too often in The South, and places like Augusta and Aiken County.) Against The Augusta Richmond County Police Department.

Despite the desire to bring closure to these crimes, the real value in "Injustice Files" lies in recounting that terrible history, through archival footage and first-person testimony. And while the program -- which comes from CBS News' CBS EYE Prods., under "48 Hours" producers Susan Zirinsky and Adrian Green-- features some of the same overproduced elements as that franchise, it's handled seriously enough to treat the material with the gravity it deserves. Although ID has boosted its ratings with tabloid titles like "Hookers: Saved on the Strip" and "Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?" -- and provided critics easy punch lines in the process -- to lump this show in with those wouldn't do it justice.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RacismEvolutionary theories about the origins of racism
See also: Ethnocentrism
Biologists John Tooby and Leda Cosmides were puzzled by the fact that race is one of the three characteristics most often used in brief descriptions of individuals (the others are age and sex). They reasoned that natural selection would not have favoured the evolution of an instinct for using race as a classification, because for most of human history, humans almost never encountered members of other races. Tooby and Cosmides hypothesized that modern people use race as a proxy (rough-and-ready indicator) for coalition membership, since a better-than-random guess about "which side" another person is on will be helpful if one does not actually know in advance.Their colleague Robert Kurzban designed an experiment whose results appeared to support this hypothesis. Using the Memory confusion protocol, they presented subjects with pictures of individuals and sentences, allegedly spoken by these individuals, which presented two sides of a debate. The errors which the subjects made in recalling who said what indicated that they sometimes misattributed a statement to a speaker of the same race as the "correct" speaker, although they also sometimes misattributed a statement to a speaker "on the same side" as the "correct" speaker. In a second run of the experiment, the team also distinguished the "sides" in the debate by clothing of similar colors; and in this case the effect of racial similarity in causing mistakes almost vanished, being replaced by the color of their clothing. In other words, the first group of subjects, with no clues from clothing, used race as a visual guide to guessing who was on which side of the debate; the second group of subjects used the clothing color as their main visual clue, and the effect of race became very small. [60]
Some research suggests that ethnocentric thinking may have actually contributed to the development of cooperation. Political scientists Ross Hammond and Robert Axelrod created a computer simulation wherein virtual individuals were randomly assigned one of a variety of skin colors, and then one of a variety of trading strategies: be color-blind, favor those of your own color, or favor those of other colors. They found that the ethnocentric individuals clustered together, then grew until all the non-ethnocentric individuals were wiped out.[61]
In The Selfish Gene, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins writes that "Blood-feuds and inter-clan warfare are easily interpretable in terms of Hamilton's genetic theory." Dawkins writes that racial prejudice, while not evolutionarily adaptive, "could be interpreted as an irrational generalization of a kin-selected tendency to identify with individuals physically resembling oneself, and to be nasty to individuals different in appearance".[62] Simulation-based experiments in evolutionary game theory have attempted to provide an explanation for the selection of ethnocentric-strategy phenotypes.[63]

Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr. (Currently a Published Book Author and Independant Filmmaker), -Violating his civil rights, and telling jailers to keep him in jail, despite bail! Each time Rackliff was asked about the incident, his story would change, while he and the sheriff cohersed false statements alleging that Rev. Beckles was irate with the deputy, when Rev. Beckles secretly had witnesses listening to Rackliff being the one who was irate and hurling false accusations on his cell's speakerphone. Which all turned out to be case of mistaken identity, Rackliff arrested the wrong person, and he knew it. Rackliff belligerently confronted Rev. Beckles trying to get him to confess to something he didn't do; Rev. Beckles, had already called his wife, who was listening to the whole senario along with their son, and mother-in-law. Rackliff, realizing that he was busted, and when Dr. Beckles asked to speak to his attorney, the deputy got even more angry and put handcuffs on the pastor & firefighter. Needless to say, the charges was eventually dropped, followed by a civil & criminal lawsuit against Rackliff and The Augusta Police Dept. (one of many for uninfortunate circumstances like this which happens all too often in The South, and places like Augusta and Aiken County.)

AUGUSTA, Ga. - An Augusta reverend and firefighter is doing his best to feed the homeless and serve his community from his Church. Reverend Dr. Franklyn Beckles, Jr. opened his Church doors to the homeless Sunday. Beckles already runs a day care, ministry and learning center out of his Church called the Children's Christian Center. Now he's decided a soup kitchen is the next best way to help the Augusta community. "They have to have a need and a wanting to participate in a Christian atmosphere. We give them food talk to them and we give them a little bit of the word, we pray with them," Beckles said. He'll also feed the homeless from his Church November 29th.

Authors such as Hannah Arendt, in her 1951 book The Origins of Totalitarianism, have said that the racist ideology (popular racism) which developed at the end of the 19th century helped legitimize the imperialist conquests of foreign territories and the acts that accompanied them (such as the Herero and Namaqua Genocide of 1904–1907 or the Armenian Genocide of 1915–1917). Rudyard Kipling's poem The White Man's Burden (1899) is one of the more famous illustrations of the belief in the inherent superiority of the European culture over the rest of the world, though also it is also thought to be a satirical appraisal of such imperialism. Racist ideology thus helped legitimize subjugation and the dismantling of the traditional societies of indigenous peoples, which were regarded as humanitarian obligations as a result of these racist beliefs.
However, during the 19th century, West European colonial powers were involved in the suppression of the Arab slave trade in Africa,[88] as well as in suppression of the slave trade in West Africa.[89] Other colonialists recognized the depravity of their actions but persisted for personal gain; some Europeans during the time period objected to the injustices caused by colonialism and lobbied on behalf of aboriginal peoples. Thus, when the Hottentot Venus was displayed in England in the beginning of the 19th century, the African Association publicly opposed itself to the exhibition. The same year that Kipling published his poem, Joseph Conrad published Heart of Darkness (1899), a clear criticism of the Congo Free State owned by Leopold II of Belgium.
Examples of racial theories used include the creation of the Hamitic ethno-linguistic group during the European exploration of Africa. It was then restricted by Karl Friedrich Lepsius (1810–1877) to non-Semitic Afro-Asiatic languages.[90]
The term Hamite was applied to different populations within Africa, mainly comprising Ethiopians, Eritreans, Somalis, Berbers, and Nubians. Hamites were regarded as Caucasoid peoples who probably originated in either Arabia or Asia on the basis of their cultural, physical and linguistic similarities with the peoples of those areas.[91][92][93] Europeans considered Hamites to be more civilized than Black Africans, and more akin to themselves and Semitic peoples.[94] In the first two-thirds of the 20th century, the Hamitic race was, in fact, considered one of the branches of the Caucasian race, along with the Indo-Europeans, Dravidians, Semites, and the Mediterranean race.
However, the Hamitic peoples themselves were often deemed to have failed as rulers, which was usually ascribed to interbreeding with Negroes. In the mid-20th century, the German scholar Carl Meinhof (1857–1944) claimed that the Bantu race was formed by a merger of Hamitic and Negro races. The Hottentots (Nama or Khoi) were formed by the merger of Hamitic and Bushmen (San) races — both being termed nowadays as Khoisan peoples).
In the United States in the early 19th century, the American Colonization Society was established as the primary vehicle for proposals to return black Americans to greater freedom and equality in Africa.[95] The colonization effort resulted from a mixture of motives with its founder Henry Clay stating; "unconquerable prejudice resulting from their color, they never could amalgamate with the free whites of this country. It was desirable, therefore, as it respected them, and the residue of the population of the country, to drain them off".[96] Racism spread throughout the New World in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Whitecapping, which started in Indiana in the late 19th century, soon spread throughout all of North America, causing many African laborers to flee from the land they worked on. In the US during the 1860s, racist posters were used during election campaigns. In one of these racist posters (see above), a black man is depicted lounging idly in the foreground as one white man ploughs his field and another chops wood. Accompanying labels are: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread," and "The white man must work to keep his children and pay his taxes." The black man wonders, "Whar is de use for me to work as long as dey make dese appropriations." Above in a cloud is an image of the "Freedman's Bureau! Negro Estimate of Freedom!" The bureau is pictured as a large domed building resembling the U.S. Capitol and is inscribed "Freedom and No Work." Its columns and walls are labeled, "Candy," "Rum, Gin, Whiskey," "Sugar Plums," "Indolence," "White Women," "Apathy," "White Sugar," "Idleness," and so on.

On June 5, 1873, Sir Francis Galton, distinguished English explorer and cousin of Charles Darwin, wrote in a letter to The Times:
- "My proposal is to make the encouragement of Chinese settlements of Africa a part of our national policy, in the belief that the Chinese immigrants would not only maintain their position, but that they would multiply and their descendants supplant the inferior Negro race" "I should expect that the African seaboard, now sparsely occupied by lazy, palavering savages, might in a few years be tenanted by industrious, order-loving Chinese, living either as a semidetached dependency of China, or else in perfect freedom under their own law." [97]
20th century
The Nazis considered Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other Slavic people such as the Russians, Ukrainians, Czechs and anyone else who was not an "Aryan" according to the contemporary Nazi race terminology to be subhuman (Untermensch). The Nazis rationalized that the Germans, being a super human (Ãœbermenschlich) race, had a biological right to displace, eliminate and enslave inferiors.[99] Some 6 million Jews were killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. In the longer term,[100] the Nazis wanted to exterminate some 30–45 million Slavs.[101] After the war, under the "Big Plan", Generalplan Ost foresaw the eventual expulsion of more than 50 million non-Germanized Slavs of Eastern Europe through forced migration, as well as some of the Balts, beyond the Ural Mountains and into Siberia. In their place, Germans would be settled in an extended "living space" (Lebensraum) of the 1000-Year Empire (Tausendjähriges Reich). Herbert Backe was one of the orchestrators of the Hunger Plan – the plan to starve tens of millions of Slavs in order to ensure steady food supplies for the German people and troops.[102] Heinrich Himmler speech to about 100 SS Group Leaders in Posen, occupied Poland, 1943:- "What happens to the Russians, what happens to the Czechs, is a matter of utter indifference to me... Whether the other peoples live in comfort or perish of hunger interests me only in so far as we need them as slaves for our culture; apart from that it does not interest me. Whether or not 10,000 Russian women collapse from exhaustion while digging a tank ditch interests me only in so far as the tank ditch is completed for Germany... We Germans, who are the only people in the world who have a decent attitude to animals, will also adopt a decent attitude to these human animals, but it is a crime against our own blood to worry about them and to bring them ideals... I shall speak to you here with all frankness of a very serious subject. We shall now discuss it absolutely openly among ourselves, nevertheless we shall never speak of it in public. I mean the evacuation of the Jews, the extermination of the Jewish race."[103]
Contemporary
During the Congo Civil War (1998–2003), Pygmies were hunted down like game animals and eaten. Both sides of the war regarded them as "subhuman" and some say their flesh can confer magical powers. UN human rights activists reported in 2003 that rebels had carried out acts of cannibalism. Sinafasi Makelo, a representative of Mbuti pygmies, has asked the UN Security Council to recognise cannibalism as a crime against humanity and an act of genocide.[110] A report released by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination condemns Botswana's treatment of the 'Bushmen' as racist.[111]
The mass demonstrations and riots against African students in Nanjing, China, lasted from December 1988 to January 1989.[112] Bar owners in central Beijing had been forced “not to serve black people or Mongolians” during the 2008 Summer Olympics.[113] Some neighborhood committees in Guangzhou bar Africans from living in residential complexes.[114] In November 2009, British newspaper The Guardian reported that Lou Jing, of mixed Chinese and African parentage, had emerged as the most famous talent show contestant in China and has become the subject of intense debate because of her skin colour.[115] Her attention in the media opened serious debates about racism in China and racial prejudice.[116]
In Asia and Latin America, light skin is seen as more attractive.[117] Thus, skin whitening cosmetic products are popular in East Asia[118] and India.[119]
Some 70,000 black African Mauritanians were expelled from Mauritania in the late 1980s.[120] In the Sudan, black African captives in the civil war were often enslaved, and female prisoners were often used sexually.[121] The Darfur conflict has been described by some as a racial matter.[122] In October 2006, Niger announced that it would deport the Arabs living in the Diffa region of eastern Niger to Chad.[123] This population numbered about 150,000.[124] While the Government collected Arabs in preparation for the deportation, two girls died, reportedly after fleeing Government forces, and three women suffered miscarriages.[125]
The Ethiopian Jewish community's integration into Israeli society has been complicated by racist attitudes on the part of some elements of Israeli society and the official establishment.[126][127] The Israeli media reported that residents of Pisgat Ze'ev, a large Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem, had formed a vigilante-style patrol to stop interracial dating between Arab men and local Jewish girls. In the 2007 poll, more than half of Israeli Jews said that intermarriage should be equated with “national treason”.[128]
The Jakarta riots of May 1998 targeted many Chinese Indonesians.[129] The anti-Chinese legislation was in the Indonesian constitution until 1998. Xenophobia against Chinese migrants is currently on the rise in Africa[130][131][132] and Oceania.[133][134] Anti-Chinese rioting, involving tens of thousands of people,[135] broke out in Papua New Guinea in May 2009.[136] The Fiji coup of 2000 has provoked a violent backlash against the Indo-Fijians.[137] Fiji citizens of Indian, European, mixed race or other island heritage have become second-class citizens.[138][139] Racial divisions also exist in Guyana[140] and Malaysia.[141]
Inter-minority variants
Prejudiced thinking among and between minority groups does occur, for example conflicts between African Americans and Korean Americans (notably in the Los Angeles riots of 1992), by blacks towards Jews (such as the riots in Crown Heights in 1991), between new immigrant groups (such as Latinos), or towards whites.[142][143][144][145] One particularly pernicious form of racism in the United States is racial segregation, which arguably continues to exist today.[146]
There has been a long-running racial tension between African Americans and Mexican Americans.[147][148][149] There have been several significant riots in California prisons in which Mexican American inmates and African Americans have specifically targeted each other based on racial reasons.[150][151] There have been reports of racially motivated attacks against African Americans who have moved into neighborhoods occupied mostly by Mexican Americans, and vice versa.[152][153][154][155] In the late 1920s in California, there was animosity between the Filipinos and the Mexicans and between European Americans and Filipino Americans since they competed for the same jobs.[156] Recently, there has also been an increase in racial violence between African immigrants and Blacks who have already lived in the country for generations.[157]
The Aztlan movement has been described as racist. The movement's goal is repossession of the American southwest. It has also been called the Mexican "reconquista" (re-conquest) whose name was inspired by the Spanish reconquista, which led to the expulsion of the Moors from Spain.[158] According to gang experts and law enforcement agents, a longstanding race war between the Mexican Mafia and the Black Guerilla family, a rival African American prison gang, has generated such intense racial hatred among Mexican Mafia leaders or shot callers, that they have issued a "green light" on all blacks. A sort of gang-life fatwa, this amounts to a standing authorization for Latino gang members to prove their mettle by terrorizing or even murdering any blacks sighted in a neighborhood claimed by a gang loyal to the Mexican Mafia.[159]
In Britain, tensions between minority groups can be just as strong as those between minorities and the majority population. In Birmingham, there have been long-term divisions between the Black and South Asian communities, which were illustrated in the Handsworth riots and in the smaller 2005 Birmingham riots. In Dewsbury, a Yorkshire town with a relatively high Muslim population, there have been tensions and minor civil disturbances between Kurds and South Asians.[160][161]
In France, home to Europe’s largest population of Muslims — about 6 million — as well as the continent’s largest community of Jews, about 600,000, anti-Jewish violence, property destruction, and racist language has been increasing over the last several years. Jewish leaders perceive the Muslim population as intensifying anti-Semitism in France, mainly among Muslims of Arab or African heritage, but also this anti-Semitism is perceived as also growing among Caribbean islanders from former colonies.[162][163]
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
UNESCO marks March 21 as the yearly International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, in memory of the events that occurred on March 21, 1960 in Sharpeville, South Africa, where police killed student demonstrators peacefully protesting against the apartheid regime.- http://www.myspace.com/civilrightsheroes
