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.

More Conflict On Clayton County School Board - This Time I Have To Credit Them

AJC: Clayton school panel votes to oust King over ethics

The Clayton County School board, freshly staffed with 9 new Democrats to replace the other 9 which caused the county to lose its accreditation has decided to aggressively boot a member of its august panel because of ethics violations.

This time I have to give them credit. Where as a room full of 9 people, be they of the same party and general ideology, are going to have conflicts and varying personal agendas - I can understand the presence of a slight bit of drama. It is the limits put upon the board via the enforcement action of SACS which has gotten them all willing to jettison one of their own for the sake of the mission. This is good news.

If anyone believes that absent the SACS action this would have happened - they are dreaming. So frequently certain people choose "a second chance" over lowering the boom. In this case SACS is to be applauded. They have put a sense of urgency and fear into a body which formerly did not believe that they were accountable to anyone in particular.

In the quest to hammer out the best interest for the children of Clayton County - SACS called it right and some of the operatives who attempted to make SACS' action into a racial thing got it WRONG for the children. They saw 3 White men representing SACS coming to town and stripping accreditation from a majority Black school board and school community. Just image had they been successful in turning this around?

Nothing would have CHANGED in Clayton County.

This is worthy of a slight bit of praise.

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.
