Politics, Priorities, Psychology and Hope WITHIN The Black Community: "What The Hell? Evan Bayh Is Retiring?"

"What The Hell? Evan Bayh Is Retiring?"

This is my exact words that I said upon hearing on the radio that Indiana Senator Evan Bayh is retiring. I have a bunch of respect for Evan Bayh. He is a moderate-conservative Democrat. I have only once heard him operate as a blind partisan for the sake of turning screws on his partisan enemies. Most other times he has been a reasonable and pragmatic elected official who called it like he saw it.

This is a tremendous loss for the moderate section of the Democratic Party.

(I can think of several other senators [on both extremes] who I hope will retire)

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.
