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.

The Attacks On Christian Churches - A Domestic Racial-Political Perspective - A Global Diasporic Perspective

Massachusetts USA - A White Man given 14 Years In Prison For Burning A Black Church In Response To A Black Man Being Elected As President Of The United States

White Man Who Placed Backpack Bomb Along "MLK Day March" in Spokane sentenced to 34 Years In Prison.

Nigeria West Africa - 5 Christian Churches Bombed In Christmas Day Coordinated Attacks And Massacre By Muslim Extremists - 32 People Reported Dead

The commonality of these two stories is that IGNORANT, HATE-FILLED PEOPLE have no respect for the institutions of religion. Though some claim affinity to their own religion, their actions show that they are an abomination to these principles.

These stories are different because - as a recent visit to Nigeria of a family member showed - the county of Nigeria is a virtual police state as the threat of inter-religious violence has many army checkpoints throughout the nation as a means of discouraging car bombers.

While the essential spirit of certain ignorant people in the United States who will to use violence to accomplish their ends has not abated - the presence of a regulatory framework by which they are punished if they do act has made such attacks in the United States that are based on race or religion a rare exception as contrasted with Nigeria and other places.

While it is common for Black Americans to make reference to "Europe" (ie: Industrialized nations) as a key index of how far we have to go in America - it is important that we include African nations into this comparison - NOT as a means of pacification of what we are experiencing here in America. I support harsh punishment for all who dare reign indiscriminate terror upon a community. Instead it should be done with the motivation to build more connected bridges to other diasporatic Blacks who live with fears that have largely been abated in America. These are the real "least of these" that we should be compelled to reach out to. Distance is not a sufficient disqualifer for consideration in this highly connected world.

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.
