During my Monday morning drive to a client meeting I didn't have my normal audio information sources. I had my satellite radio in the trunk. My iPhone was not accessible to me. I could not listen to NPR, CNBC or Bloomberg.
I decided to tune into AM radio. As I flipped through the buttons I came across "1380 AM". I typically pause, knowing that there is a very high likelihood that the topic of discussion on "The People's Station" WAOK (or is that what their sister station WVEE calls themselves?) is going to be upsetting to my soul.
They indeed are "the voice of the Black Establishment". They fight against Republicans and Conservatives more than they can articulate the benefits that they have espoused upon the Black community.....now that their machine has control over all of the key institutions within. If you want to listen to "Black ideological bigotry" that is a mirror image of "White ideological bigotry" tune in sometimes.
Today I was very pleasantly surprised. In the absence of the morning show guest they had on Janice Mathis - of the Atlanta "Rainbow/PUSH" organization. They did a show called "Sisters In The Law". I believe that Mathis is a lawyer and she had a family attorney on as a guest. People called in with various divorce and child custody cases.
"For the First Time in My Adult Lifetime, I'm Really Proud of..... " this radio station. They were talking about issues in the "Community Cultural Consciousness & Competency Development Domain" instead of the "American Political Domain" on behalf of the progressives.
The Need For Cultural Regulation Of Male/Female Intimate Relationships
I was actually disappointed at the over-reliance of the external court system to force non-resident parents to pay child support for the children that they bore. The failure of the cultural constructs at the backend which should some cultural rituals necessary to insure that the male and female that are matriculating toward sex and/or a long term committed relationship fully know each other and are conscious about the importance of what they are on the verge of committing to.
We as a people have been focused for so long on the external struggle. It seems rather obvious to me that in the wake of this necessary external focus of the past many internal issues now suffer from benign neglect.
My personal opinion is that there is indeed a mutually exclusive aspect inherent in the belief by some that their mission is to relieve the individual from all undue confinements in a cultural orthodoxy and the present need to add structure to these relationships so that these toxic after-results are reduced.
I agreed with the one host who said that a parent who was physically attracted to a partner in the club and had sex with this person that same night had no intention at all in dealing with the proper parenting of a child that was produced by this exchange of body fluid which initiated the gestation process.
There is simply no running away from the connectedness of these challenges that we presently face. Those who stand on their moral high ground proclaiming that they cleared the way to allow absolute freedom for the individuals in the society should also be made to acknowledge the self-serving consciousness that was incubated as a result of this orientation.
A people or community that is on the move will look to manage their human resources in line with this motif. They will put forth messages which tend to promote the need for everyone to be conscious about the part that they play in the greater whole and that in failing to do so they threaten the ultimate attainment of the end goal by the group.
