Politics, Priorities, Pathology and Hope WITHIN The Black Community

“Take Back The Black Community Consciousness". It has been hijacked by embedded operatives who don't intend to develop the COMPETENCIES within. We once controlled this consciousness, focusing our activism directly upon our permanent interests. Today the "Malcolm X Political Football Game" has us as starters and some believe that this playing time translates into absolute progress for our people. My goal is to hold our permanent interests in their faces, forcing them to explain their actions.

Burger King - Praised For Diversity, Tagged For Dropping Minority Ad Agencies, Stock Price Soaring On Sale Rumors

This is far too much news in a short period of time in which a company's reputation is vacillating so dramatically.

Market Watch: Burger King Rated Favorably For Diversity By Black Enterprise - August 27, 2010
Atlanta Post: Jesse Jackson Pans Burger King For Dropping Minority Ad Firms And Minority Focused Advertisements (Says today's young people are integrated and don't need special targeting)
Wall Street Journal - Shares Of Burger King Rise On Rumors Of Sale
Forbes - Burger King Purchased By 3G Capital For $3.26B

Are they a company that values diversity?

Are they "racist" for dismissing their minority advertising firms and adopting an integrated marketing strategy?

Did they do all of this in order to tighten up their balance sheet in preparation for "the big pay back" of being sold?

That king looks kinda racist anyway. :-/

With The Loss Of Black American Consciousness Comes This Detachment

The Rabid "Embedded Black Fox Confidence Man"

The Use Of "Slave/Jim Crow Images" In Black Political Debate - Evaluate The Agenda

The use of "slave imagery" is common in ideological discourse among Black people today. The best way to appraise the veracity of the agenda of the presenter is to distinguish between those images which are used to cajole Black people into "Ideological Unity" versus those images used to bring consciousness to the sad fact that in far too many cases today - the man holding the gun is a Black man, his disturbed consciousness allowed to fester because the balance of our community organizers are focused on external political affairs. They sell us on the notion that when our people assist their political/ideological external partners in their success that these individuals who suffer from BENIGN NEGLECT will be cured - no longer terrorizing us. In the circular reference that is their struggle - the more damaged individuals that matriculate through the local institutions that they now control per their struggle, the louder their call for continued UNITY and redirection lest our community's long time external adversaries start terrorizing us again. They successfully avoid community scrutiny of their stewardship of our key "Human Resource Development" institutions.
