I have learned that the key to battling the entrenched progressive Black Establishment is to force them to accept that they are now the ESTABLISHMENT POWER within the Black community. They are no longer allowed to engage in permanent external chases against "THEY". (As in "THEY" don't want Black people having sh**)

Whereas I should be smitten with the words of Al Shaprton in this segment I realize that he is not going to go hard against the forces that reside within his Progressive-Democratic coalition on the subject of "School Choice" and "Charter Schools".

You can tell that something is brewing as of late.  I have listened to no less than 8 radio or television talk shows that have focused on Charter Schools.  The sides on the issue have made their loyalties clear.  I notice that the new faux opposition to charter schools is the claim that they are not "DIVERSE".  "Too many" Black and Hispanic students in charter schools are "stuck with" schools that lack diversity (reading between the lines: not enough White kids).

Just when we start seeing certain positive results from kids who are in environments that had been producing failure in the traditional government operated public school yet often with less money spent per child - the "special interests" that Reverend Sharpton speaks about have thrown up the red herring on diversity.  They fail to note that the lack of diversity in these school populations closely mirror the racial make up of the surrounding communities.

Rev Al Sharpton and others who are known to vacillate in the wind when it comes to going against the machine that they are ultimately a part of - instead choosing to support a key PERMANENT INTEREST of our community.  I will have more confidence in him if he were to layout a more transparent framework of what he can support and present this to these "Entrenched Interests" that he speaks of.    In as much as he knows that he will standing with them at the voting booth in 2010 and 2012 his willingness to go to battle with them as they remain obstinate against school reform he knows that he can't push too hard or be seen as "standing alongside their common enemies)
