Cut #2: Rep John Lewis' Focus On Caulk-Justice Shows How Detached Many Black Americans Are From The Rest Of The World

Rep John Lewis is increasingly being allowed to operate as an "Activist Of Leisure".
This is defined by someone who is able to tap into his claimed "moral compass" to render indictments against some other while never having to worry about being called out for the plentiful things that they lock past because it would serve as a personal indictment against themselves.

Most recently I have called out John Lewis for having all 4 of the "Most Violent Zipcode Codes In The Nation" that the state of Georgia has contributed to this shameful list.

As we consider how Rep Lewis is marketing his "caulking for social justice" program as one step toward saving the Earth I saw the need to broaden his vision a bit.

There are few broad groups of people in America who have their very existence in jeopardy. Even the poorest among us receive some benefit from the infrastructure that we have available.

It would be grand if Rep Lewis and others were to expand their horizon and look to create "Green Jobs" by actually applying the skills and talents that Americans have for the benefit of people who don't have to worry about caulking their windows as they have no windows.

As the "Black Power Machine" has "removed their radical clothes in exchange for the radical end", thus entering into the halls of the legislature and the executive branch it seems that they have lost their vision. If there was ever a time that I would support "expansionism" for the sake of providing cover for the criticism that is deserved for the plot of land that they now control it would be in regards to connectivity with the places shown in the two videos.

Notice that the people in Benin have no sidewalks or roads or drainage systems that might protect them from the threat that water and its after-effects bear down upon them with. With all of the attacks on "contractors" in theaters of war - where is the grass roots program to leverage the power that is now present in the White House and the Congress to develop a program that trains up:

• Civil Engineers
• Urban Planners
• Epidemiologists 
• Geologists
• Hydrologists
• Heavy Equipment Operators

with the target of building up infrastructure in these places that have the most need?

This is not an attempt to negate the "Green Jobs" efforts of John Lewis or Barack Obama.  It is only an attempt to reprioritize the resources toward addressing the more critical needs of the planet.
