The second point that must be mentioned from this story is the fact of how racial interest groups sought to retain their space in the employment market from newly cast immigrants. Sadly violence was used to get this point across in too many cases. None the less it seems counterintuitive that today's Black Establishment leaders who on the one hand are suffering through a Black unemployment rate of 16.5% are also eager to support illegal immigration despite the reports that Blacks on the lower end of the wage scale are most impacted by this influx.
In their question to preempt "racial profiling" they are not made to stand accountable for the deliriousness impact that their policies have on the Black Permanent interests of "Thriving Local Economies" and the organic employment that is produced from it.
The ability to project indictments outward has a stultifying effect on the policies that are ultimately supported by this political faction. As long as they see themselves as "struggling outward" for employment of Black people in their community, against a system which is denying them as such - they will cast themselves as the harvesters of jobs that are brought home.
In truth their policies often price the "consumers of labor" out of their local market, going elsewhere to a place where the cost of production is brought more into balance.
There is no question that the Black Rank and File must create a new relationship between itself and those who purport to be advancing their interests. Today they make use of various black and white video clips that tell of our people's past oppression. For me - when I see these films and match the information provided within with the fact that today the institutions that allowed the past oppression to remain resident are now occupied by a favorable individual. I am not willing to be drawn in by this past as fed to me by the operative with the power. Instead this increases my resolve to hold them accountable for the promised results.
