Veteran, black community activist, Ted Hayes, challenges racial shibboleths employed to manipulate both black disenfranchisement and white guilt.

White people, he proclaims, did not enslave black people.  White people (for the first time in history) fought against other whites in order to give blacks freedom.

Hayes is launching a campaign in to rectify the matter, and begin healing the wounds of racism which he feels is paralyzing America.

Blacks, Mr. Hayes claims, must overcome their learned resentment for whites - and must stop inhibiting criticism of President Barack Obama's policies with allegations of racism. Mr. Hayes explains that his movement, America's Black Shield, intends to serve as the catalyst for healing - to overcome the stigmatizing of civil debate about policies of Barack Obama's administration.
