Chicago Lady 216 Wants Obama To Make Her Feel Good Once Again - Just As She Felt While Standing In Grant Park......Prior To Her Son Being Murdered In Chicago - Which Brought Her Back To Reality. We Cannot Allow People With This Type Of Consciousness To Lead Our Way Forward Any Longer.(Click For Video)
I have to apologize to some of you.
You likely wonder why I am so fixated on this woman's words.
I upgraded my computer to Google Chrome 5 beta and it made the video to the left that is below the static picture show up as a video instead of a link, thus rendering it as I had intended. I watched this video one more time. It prompted me to yell out at the computer.
I decided to transcribe the words of this video clip. It just goes to the heart of the consciousness that some people possess.
Now granted - I attended the "Million Man March" back in the day. I have to admit that I too was smitten over seen so many Black people together in peace. I can empathize with "Chicago Lady 216" with respect to her emotions that were drawn up on the day that a large crowd came together in celebration of the election of a "Black President".
Unfortunately for this woman - and everyone else who was a part of the panel - each of them had a child murdered on the streets of Chicago.
For "Chicago Lady 216" the loss of her offspring after this glorious day in Grant Park was not enough to shake a bit of reality into her consciousness.
This video is important to me BECAUSE of the misalignment that is on display by this woman.
She lost her child to a Street Pirate on the streets of Chicago who was living an "I don't give a what" life. Her response to this unfortunate act is to rally a troop of Black people, 1 million strong - to fight for GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION.
The key point that makes me pull my hair out is that at a time when she is "winning" in the space that she clearly has vested her hope for salvation in - POLITICS - the loss of the being that once occupied her womb is not enough for he to think beyond her present confinements. Clearly a being that once gestated inside of some other mother's woman was inculcated with a set of thoughts that were destructive to the community and those who live inside of it. It is not the lack of GUN CONTROL that killed her child. Chicago continues to have one of the strongest gun control laws in the nation.
The force that killed her child was the force of inattention called "Benign Neglect".
I appreciated the words of "Rational Lady Who Ain't Buying It".
She expressed cynicism because, after losing a child of her own she was grounded to the fact that holding hands and singing "Kumbya" is NOT going to make the streets of Chicago and elsewhere safe.
For me as a critic of the Black and Progressive Establishment I have accepted the importance of having broken through this previous obstacle and having a Black President, regardless of my personal views of his policies and how much they have failed when applied locally. At the same time I realize that IF LEFT UNCHECKED - people with the consciousness of "Chicago Lady 216" are going to not allow the fact that their own UNREALISTIC expectations that were dashed as they achieved what they have invested in alter their plans to "rinse and repeat" in the next interval.
I am most fearful that the consciousness of "Chicago Lady 216" will one day have power over me, this after having yielded all of their individual powers to the government that will 'make it right' for them. She and others are not going to allow the facts of their past psychological misalignment cause themselves to do a gut check and possibly pursue a different course of action which might allow them to satisfy their grievances and hopes.
From the CNN Special "The Deadly Streets Of Chicago - 2009"
Tommie Bosley: Our President of the United States is from here. He knows. He's from Hyde Park. He knows what's going on here. And its time (sigh) for him to address this as a major issue.
Chicago Lady 216: Its a combination of all of the above. Everybody's got to band together
CNN: Do you agree with what he says though? Is this a national issue now?
Chicago Lady 216: Oh my God yes.
CNN: Would you like to see the President
Chicago Lady 216: He needs to say "No More! No more let's stop it!"
Rational Lady Who Ain't Buying It: "How" is the question? I mean realistically. Because I am still kinda cynical. I don't think that we'll live in a "Oh I love you, put the guns down" kinda world. We just won't
Chicago Lady 216: But weren't we like that the day that he became president?
Rational Lady Who Ain't Buying It: Yeah, we were
Chicago Lady 216: Didn't we band together and come to Grant Park? And it didn't matter if you pushed me or stepped on my foot or touched me. I had no fear of the city because WE FINALLY GOT AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT. We were a million strong in Grant Park. So why can't we be a million strong for gun control?
Its that last line that always causes me to want to jump out of the window.
If she would have said "So why can't we be a million strong and take back our communities from the Street Pirates, restoring law and order?"
Or even "So why can't we be a million strong but work as individuals to make sure that each of us is directly engaging these young people who are shooting up our communities, grabbing hold of them before they become net negatives for our community. The community will operate as the safety net to cover for the individual failures of the parents".
If she would have said either of those two concepts she would have been one of my favored people.
Instead her type of thinking is a threat to the attainment of the "Permanent Interests" of our people. She is prepared to outsource these community interests to the government, all based upon unrealistic expectations.
