Politics, Priorities, Pathology and Hope WITHIN The Black Community

“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.

Clayton County Schools Working To Turn Things Around

As I had said previously - I have no problem in giving a shout out in support of the right thing just as I render criticism in response to dysfunctional behavior.

Two recent news articles from Clayton County Georgia give me the slightest bit of hope that they are moving in the right direction.

AJC: Uniform dress policy expands to all Clayton schools

All 50,000 Clayton County students will be required to wear “uniform dress” starting next school year.

Though not as stringent as uniforms per se, the new uniform dress policy will require students to wear khaki pants, skirts, polo shirts and sweaters of the same color, Jonesboro High School Principal Carl Jackson said. The policy prohibits blue jeans and T-shirts.

AJC: Clayton parents get help with math

School officials will teach parents how to help their children with math homework and prepare for standardized tests. The program, which is geared to parents of middle school and high school students, also will offer an overview about changes in the math classes.

The workshop will be held at the Perry Learning Center on Spring Street in Jonesboro.

With The Loss Of Black American Consciousness Comes This Detachment

The Rabid "Embedded Black Fox Confidence Man"

The Use Of "Slave/Jim Crow Images" In Black Political Debate - Evaluate The Agenda

The use of "slave imagery" is common in ideological discourse among Black people today. The best way to appraise the veracity of the agenda of the presenter is to distinguish between those images which are used to cajole Black people into "Ideological Unity" versus those images used to bring consciousness to the sad fact that in far too many cases today - the man holding the gun is a Black man, his disturbed consciousness allowed to fester because the balance of our community organizers are focused on external political affairs. They sell us on the notion that when our people assist their political/ideological external partners in their success that these individuals who suffer from BENIGN NEGLECT will be cured - no longer terrorizing us. In the circular reference that is their struggle - the more damaged individuals that matriculate through the local institutions that they now control per their struggle, the louder their call for continued UNITY and redirection lest our community's long time external adversaries start terrorizing us again. They successfully avoid community scrutiny of their stewardship of our key "Human Resource Development" institutions.
