Can We Now Admit That Changing The Street Names Has Failed To Eliminate The Violence Within Certain Communities And Now Do Something More Effective?

First remove the white bubble window by clicking on the "X"

Then use your mouse to pan the map around the community and then note all of the streets named after national or local civil rights leaders in the Black community:

Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway
Joseph P Boone Blvd ( still labeled "Simpson Rd" in the map)
Ralph David Abernathy Road
Martin Luther King Jr Dr
Hamliton E Homes Dr

The Civil Rights operatives worked hard to strip away all streets named after "Confederate Generals" and replace them with "Civil Rights Heros"......now that THEY were in control of the key political instituions in Atlanta.

In changing the names from the people's former oppressors over to their heroes....the oppressed people living in these communites were going to have more pride in their own community and thus the violence was to decrease within.

I am waiting for someone to follow up with these "community leaders" to see if they have another brilliant plan to stop the murder and violence within these streets.

The one name that is missing on the streets is instead hanging on various campaign posters: JOHN LEWIS - US Congressman who presides over this "most violent zipcode in Atlanta".

I am only attempting to get some of you to a point where: When John Lewis dares to sponsor a bill to fund the FBI to review COLD CASE CIVIL RIGHTS MURDERS from 60 years ago..........you recognize that he and other establishment figures aren't doing much to address the "Warm Case Murders Of Black People" and you stop them from drawing upon the "magical" time of the Civil Rights Movement when a Black man who was killed by a White was killed by a person who is SUPERIOR to the people who are killing us right now.

What is the COST to the Black community for going along the path that the popular leadership would have us to without asking questions of them?

Here is another street that is problematic: Joseph E Lowery Blvd:

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.
