A lot of what he states is repeating itself. Prisons are run for-profit businesses, and police seem to go out if their way to imprison Blacks for anything and everything. Instead of being united, we seem to be a society that cares only about ourselves. The lessons from the Civil Rights Era have become lost upon the young generation. Shamefully, we’re sitting ourselves up for failure. Thank you for posting the video.
In spite of all the media hype sports, acting and singing and dancing around on tv. Plus,all these black talk discussion shows.
A vast % of black people in spite of all this religion and education have been set up to be souled/sold out to an outdated slave like paradigm.
It’s obvious many are in denial and are suffering the effects of being dumbed down and brainwashed,miseducated by the white controlled media.
Overall,the whole scene is a massive disgrace
“WHO’S FUELING THE “NEW JIM CROW”MACHINE”?
Are African Americans unknowingly fueling the “New Jim Crow” machine? Are troubled black male youth & young adults the new commodity in the stock market, for shareholders who have invested in Corporate Corrections prisoners for profit agenda? Can the fact that the high unemployment rate for black males,not be by coincidence?Now let’s look at why African Americans are the primary fuel for the “New Jim Crow”machine.Unemployment of black males forcing some to choose crime,in order to survive.Uneducated black males coming from dysfunctional backgrounds,who are in Gangs. Perpetrators of Gun Violence & Drug dealing in African American communities.Black children being primed in schools,who’s staff diagnose them as ADHD. Which lead to ADHD meds being prescribed,that cause serious behavior side effects,which effect their thinking process.Poverty leading young black males into male prostitution.The lack of black fathers stepping up for their children.Black women who continue to have babies by men who abandon them and the child.What about black males who are listening to those on Urban radio. Thinking they’re being schooled by them,are really fooled by them.Attraction by distraction is how the “New Jim Crow” machine is being fueled. Separation by frustration.This is all happening by design.”Oh” did I mention the lack of African Americans paying attention.Time to catch on to what’s in effect as I write this blog.That young African American’s future across the nation is in a “State Of Emergency”………….No Violence-Know Peace

How many remember the song “We Shall Over Come”?It was the song sung by MLK and those who stood with him during the civil rights movement in the 60’s.This song was spiritually inspirational for those who were committed to overcome civil injustice,racial inequality,poverty,etc.This song was sung as rocks were thrown,dogs attacking,police beatings of marchers determined to overcome being treated less than human.Some marchers even lost their lives.Black folks had enough and were unconditionally committed to the movement to change their conditions & status in America.As a child I watched what was happening on TV and listened to the radio to the beginning of change for the oppressed citizens of America.The process had begun,no more sitting in the back of the bus.No more suppression of voting rights.Children of color could attend schools who’s policies forbid them from attending.”We Shall Over Come”,yes we were hopeful ,people of color were making progress towards equality.Then came the assassinations of prominent Black leaders,MLK,Malcolm X and others.This slowed the progression of the “Peoples Movement”,the singing seem to stop,the progress that was made was not being nurtured.Complacency seemed to set in by the people through the following years.Did some of us believed that we had arrived in society?Had we forgotten about what sacrifices were made for us,had we lost our way?How did we allow our self respect & pride,our love for one another slip away.What happened to us through the years,maybe it was the “Heroin & Crack epidemic.That swept through communities of color,leaving devastation & death.Has our courage been depleted through the years.It is now 2014,the era of “Sex & Violence.The biggest “Crisis” in America today is “Gun Violence”.This is the scourge & plague in America’s communities of color.There’s a aura of hopelessness coming from people of color today.Remember those who had less than nothing that started the process of change,though today people of color have more.Reality is we still have nothing as a people.No empowerment,no Unity,no real family structure or moral fiber.Children of color killing one another.Our passion to stand for what is right has diminished.We complain on our knees,still we won’t stand up for our children.Today we must “Overcome” ourselves,because we’ve allowed ourselves to forget.Living in denial about how we have a part in what has happened to us.In order to start the process,we have to be willing to be forthright in being diligent,accepting criticism from naysayers.Our children’s lives are in peril.We can no longer afford to stand by and let them kill each other.Time for a new “Peoples Movement”,still first we must “Overcome” ourselves.Then perhaps by God’s will,we will begin to sing our battle cry “We Shall Over Come” in the process to save our children’s lives and restore hope…….No Violence-Know Peace!

It gives me hope to read from young bros/sis of their knowledge and understanding of the Civil Rights Movement. The sacrifices that were made in blood that demanded our rights to be treated equally on this earth and in particular the US as any man or woman. The question was asked, what happened to the accomplishments made during that period such as the passing of laws for our civil, voting and housing rights. What happened? Drugs happened and that was the beginning of the end of any kind of movement. Weed made us lazy and un-engaged. The potency and varieties of drugs surged from that point on. What happened was a calculated plan to destroy our leaders and any other Black male or female who would dare to challenge the powers of this government. What happened? A few bros/sisters were given the “dream” and got lost thinking they were no longer apart of the struggle. In other words they never came back for us. What happened? Black people became complacent and became willing to accept less including their freedom, education and the future of our people. We need to recapture the spirit of the 60’s. Our lives depend on it.
I agree with all of the above, but not enough emphasis is placed on the fact that there is this hidden hand in all of this. The drugs comming into our communities.
So many guns comming into our communities . The illusion that a few rich African Americans are showcased to make it appear to those who have been bumbled into believing that all is well.
I believe that it is all stradagized. These methods orchestrated by a hidden hand causes the masses of us to loose sight on our plight, to loose guts/backbone and the spirit to fight back.
Where are the Black Church’s ,they could and should play a large part in recovery reg our youth and our communities,the citizens who can effect change ,come in the communities attend church an go back I guess to their comfy suburban homes,we left the inner city I guess to better ourselves,it’s ironic ,now we may buy homes anywhere and everywhere,but that’s not entirely true ,that’s a whole another story,so we left the less educated and less economically sound blacks to defend theirselves,community suffers,schools suffer,and guess what our entire race suffers.We must organize now,our youth and race are in serious peril,we all know what the problems are,we can effect change beginning with ourselves,what will you do? I know there is something we each can do in our own way to help our situation,
May we begin today……..again I believe the Church is key in recovery……we need to get out of the church and become more involved with the youth and community,and not a program once a year,ongoing efforts…..
