US to declare domestic war on "The Struggle"?

I have reason to believe that American Blacks are running a secret organization called "The Struggle". You can catch bits of it in conversation and even hear references in music.

I have reason to believe that this loosely collective organization of Blacks have been secretly fighting this fight for over 400 years!!!

You can see the similarity to "Al Queda", which I have heard translates roughtly to - you guessed it - "The Struggle"

What can this all mean? Were Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Muhammad Ali in on it the whole time?

1. Hey MBF***are you racist or it a little late for you?

Apparently you are, certainly from whatever deluded point you are trying to create.

You may be amazed to find this out, but there are actually those who come from a DIFFERENT background other than your own.

Gasp!!

4. "al Qaeda" means "The Base" or "The Headquarters"

The Arabic word for "struggle" is jihad.

There is also a word in German that translates to "struggle" -- the word Kampf, as in Mein Kampf.

In Greek, the word is Agon, from which we get lots of words like agony, protagonist, agonistic (but not Pentagon or polygon).

Linguistics and language make fascinating study, but don't be fooled by false translations. As the Italians say, "Tradutore, Traditore! -- "Translator, Traitor!"

--p!
