"Brick City 2" And "The First 48 Hours - Dekalb County GA" - The Cost Of The Hijacking Of Our Community Consciousness

"Brick City"
"The Flintown Kids"
"The First 48 Hours" - As Shot On In Various Violent Urban Venues

If we dared to assume that what was true during the "Civil Rights Movement" is still true today then an ecosystem in which:

Violence is rained upon Black people
Education is derailed for Black children
Black people are economically ground down

then whatever the location in which these assaults upon the Black Permanent interests is a place that is due for a radical upheaval in the SYSTEM that has dominate control over the place.

If you took this framework and applied it to TODAY then, unfortunately, you'd be mistaken in your attempts to extend this logic forward into a new set of circumstances.

I can't be sure that the person actually watched "Brick City" but - after seeing a person suggest that Newark Mayor Cory Booker deserves the seat of President Of The United States - this person DID NOT "GET" the message from "Brick City".

I am not faulting Mayor Booker. In fact - it is stunning to see that the person who made this comment can't see that POLITICS IS THE NEGATING FACTOR within THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

In Newark where "favorable people" control every seat in the city - absent the traditional ideological enemy - the "favorable people" began to fracture.

All the while - the "Key Performance Objectives" upon which the machine was elected to express upon the community have mostly been missed. Despite the preponderance of evidence and the dysfunctional politicking that comes with it - anyone who believes that POLITICS is the solution to the problems as seen on "Brick City" is a person who must never be given the "confidence" of our community. This is how they will drive us, regardless of how much the direction arrows are pointing contrariwise.

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.
