What is the most important line of the story below?
Answer: "NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE".
What was the key news among the Black outlets from the Black Messaging machine yesterday - April 15th?
Per my review the observations of the "TEA PARTIES" and their "racist" intent was most popularly commented upon. No other issue came close.
This brings me to a question that I asked of myself yesterday "Is RACISM the most popular vector of attack upon Black America today?". The answer can be arrived at by making note of the key issues that plague us today and then inspecting for the presence of RACISM.
Today most charges of racism have a political and ideological motivation behind them.
"Racialism" is the reason for the silence behind that which impacts our community so abundantly only triggering a whimper as compared to the recent outrage over the "Confederates" from more than 100 years ago.
It appears that the year 2010 will register yet another "Bloody Summer" within the Black community. In as much as we have taken our "eyes off of the prize" more of the media voices within the Black community will be focused upon how they can find ways to praise President Obama rather than how they can take their own establishment machine to task for presiding over so much bloodshed within our communities - and the CONSCIOUSNESS that produces such death. The news that President Obama is planning to visit Chicago would trigger more of a response.
