<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last month, Congresswoman, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, vehemently proclaimed that there will only be six (6) Democratic debates for the 2016 election. Many of Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters have made countless calls to the DNC demanding more debates, but Shultz is sticking to her guns. Monday morning, Sept. 28, 2015, Shultz appeared on the Morning Joe show to discuss the importance of delegates and how she's confident that Hillary Rodham Clinton will win the caucuses and primaries. Shultz's comments ring of rigging the Democratic primary in favor of Clinton. How else can one feel so confident about a candidate whose numbers are sliding South? To circumvent Clinton and Shultz's plan to sabotage the 2016 election, Sanders' supporters need to diligently fight for position because it appears that regardless to the calls made to the DNC, tweets made on Twitter, and/or posts posted on Facebook, Shultz's and her cronies are determined to cheat in this election. However, Sanders can win the caucuses, primaries, and the 2,250 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. Here's how: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">While reading through my news feed on Facebook, I ran across the following message: </span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.32px;"><span style="color: blue;">Yesterday I tabled for Bernie at the LA </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;">[Los Angeles] </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><span style="color: blue;">county fair</span><span style="color: blue;">. There was a booth for the LA county democratic party. They had NO information on Bernie and no merchandise for him either. We offered them some of our Bernie stuff and they declined saying that they and the state party would be endorsing Hillary and sending delegates for her to the national convention. I asked how they could know that 10 months before our primary and they said they choose delegates 4 months before the primary. When I said that was undemocratic and corrupt, they shrugged</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;">."</span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">After reading the post, my mind quickly shifted to lines from one of my favorite movies: "How High," starring Red Man and Method Man.</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Bart</b>: “That's against the rules!”</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19.32px;"><span style="font-size: large;">This strong-arm behavior from the DNC and Hillary Rodham Clinton's camp is the very reason Sen. Sanders' supporters have to dig in our heals and fight fire with fire. Clinton knows the importance of Delegates because they thwarted her 2008 bid for the Presidency. This time, it appears that the Clinton camp is perched to play hardball in the delegate race. </span></span><br />

As previously reported, the Clinton camp brags of having secured 440+ Super-Delegates, but Clinton also knows that Super-Delegates are not "pledged" delegates, and "pledged" delegates are needed most. Since some states have yet to roll out their delegate selection plans, it's baffling how the state of California has already decided to send delegates to the Convention in support of Clinton? For sure, if such is the case, there is something awry within the Democratic Party, and of this, we are well aware. The fact that there are only six (6) debates serves as proof that the Democratic Party is trying every trick in the book to win the nomination for Clinton, but we can stop the coronation of Hillary that the DNC is so hell bent on shoving down the throats of Americans. </span></span></div>

true, especially where the 2016 Presidential election is concerned. If we
listen carefully to the presidential candidates, we’ll discover that the planned
menu will serve Americans a healthy dose of militarized attacks: foreign and
domestic, mass incarceration, and privatized schools. Many know that the only
answer is sealing the democratic nomination for Sen. Bernie Sanders, but how
can that be done? For sure, those who support Sen. Sanders are aware that in
order to vote for him in the primaries they must be registered democrats.
However, the democratic, political process is a bit more complicated than
merely registering as a democrat and showing up on Election Day. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">It’s Time</span></b></h4>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s
time for a female president in America,” a friend adamantly stated. I agree,
and I would love to see Sen. Elizabeth Warren win the White House. Unfortunately,
Sen. Warren will not run in the 2016 campaign, so one who wishes to see a
female president in 2016 have but two options: Carly Fiorina and Hillary Rodham
Clinton. Fiorina’s disastrous tenure at <a href="http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/carly-fiorina-president-2/">Hewlett-Packard</a>
as their first female C.E.O. makes her an unlikely choice; thus, Clinton
becomes the flavor of the month, but is Clinton a viable choice? It depends on
whom you ask. However, as a Black, female, Navy veteran I cannot in clear
conscience vote for Clinton. Her position on various issues tend to change
directions like leaves on a tree moved by hurricane winds. For instance, in
1994, Clinton was a staunch supporter of her husband’s “tough on crime”
policies; today, she speaks out against such policies. Consequently, the damage
has been done, so to speak out against her husband’s policies now is the
equivalent of locking the barn door after the horses have escaped. In addition,
according to <a href="https://twitter.com/JesseFFerguson/status/593485081655832576">Jesse

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Therefore,
Clinton’s shift in position is the result of changing times, not because such
policies were wrong, so it’s apparent that she still believes that such
policies are needed. In conjunction, Clinton’s position on military spending is
much cause for concern, for we can pretend that she’s seen the light in regards
crime reform, but we cannot pretend that Clinton is against sending our
children to war. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On May
26, 2015, journalists David Sirota and Andrew Perez, in their article <i><a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/clinton-foundation-donors-got-weapons-deals-hillary-clintons-state-department-1934187">Clinton
Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals from Hillary Clinton’s State Department</a></i>
wrote, “Under Hillary Clinton, the State Department approved $165 billion worth
of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments had given millions to
the Clinton Foundation.” This comes as no surprise since Kelly Vlahos,
columnist for <i>The American Conservative</i>
had warned us in her November 2014 article that <i><a href="http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-military-industrial-candidate/">The
military-industrial candidate: Hillary Clinton prepares to launch the most
formidable hawkish presidential campaign in a generation</a></i><i>.</i> Nothing confirms this more than the
actions of Clinton while serving as Sec. of State and contributions made to the
Clinton Foundation by the military-industrial complex during her tenure. It’s
these deals that have the Clinton’s facing racketeering charges under <b><a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/clinton-foundation-hit-with-racketeering-lawsuit/article/2565069">RICO</a></b>:
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">“<a href="https://lorrab.wordpress.com/2015/06/23/law-suit-against-bill-hillary-and-the-clinton-foundation-trial-date-set-for-january/">Judge
Donald Middlebrooks of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
Florida scheduled a January 20th, 2016 trial date for the RICO lawsuit against
Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation (RICO stands for
racketeering, influenced and corrupt organizations and was originally created
to enable the Justice Department to convict organized crime figures)</a>.” Clinton’s
association with the prison and military-industrial complexes should leave a
bad taste in the mouths of Americans; it seems that her plan is to use
Americans as cannon fodder for either the private prison or military complexes.

or humane about the prison or military-industrial complexes. There is nothing
to suggest that members of these institutions support candidates who do not
share their “vision.” That would not make sense under any business paradigm. The
options offered by Clinton makes one feel trapped between two walls that close
in to squash Americans: “Between a rock and a hard place.” Let’s face it,
Clinton has already said we would attack Iran if she is elected. This is not
the future I envision for myself, my children, my grandchildren…America.
Therefore, although it may be time for a female president, it’s never time for
one willing to send our country into war, especially since tax payers are still
paying for wars fought during George W. Bush’s tenure.</span></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

candidate in the 2016 Presidential race who has been against war since the Vietnam
Conflict. That candidate is Sen. Bernie Sanders. As veterans, we can rest
assure that no other lives will be lost fighting in the interests of Corporate
America; maybe then, we can begin putting monies toward repairing the lives of our
existing veterans and the Veteran’s Administration, for it is sad that <a href="http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2015/09/04/died-awaiting-veterans-affairs-health-care/">307,000

Sen. Sanders is against attacking Iran. Sanders recently slammed his "Republican friends" who "seem to be itching for that war." The same is true of Clinton; the deals made while serving as Sec. of State bear witness to her intentions. The question is are "We the People" itching for war with Iran? If not, join the revolution that is taking the nation by storm. #FeeltheBern! </span></span></span><br />

and for <b>the basic
bargain of America</b>…<b>if you work
hard and do your part, you should be able to get
ahead and to stay ahead</b>,” said Baltimore's Mayor Stephanie
Rawlings-Blake in reference to two-time, presidential hopeful, Hillary Rodham
Clinton. Baltimore's mayor was "honored" to introduce Clinton
at <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">this year’s </span><i>Democratic
Nation Committee Summer Meeting</i>. It's not clear how many more decades
before 1985 Clinton has been fighting for "the basic bargain of
America" for Americans, but given the current condition of life among
American workers, the “basic bargain of America” is no bargain at all,
especially where Black lives are concerned. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“This election is about who best
understands the pressures facing the families of America...and who has the
skills and tenacity to tackle them,” Clinton said. Unfortunately, much of
what followed the first two minutes of her speech was reminiscent of an ex
promising to change, to do better, and to fight for "you," "with
you" while never addressing how you got there in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clinton chuckled and gave a
"shout out" to the "grassroots movements" working to help
build her campaign. I chuckled, as I envisioned the Black Lives Matter (BLM)
movement whom Clinton dissed in New Hampshire and had recently dismissed in <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/hillary-clinton-cleveland-black-lives-matter-tamir-rice-gun-violence-addressed-during-2071610" target="_blank">Cleveland</a>. For sure, she did not
include this grassroots movement in her shout out, for when Clinton began to
speak about race while in Cleveland, representatives of the BLM movement
started chanting and were escorted from the event. Clinton continued with her
speech on race;<span style="background: white;"> "We've got to come to
terms with some hard truths about race in America. We do have to stand up and
loudly and clearly say black lives matter." This is true, but we cannot
merely "say black lives matter."<span class="apple-converted-space"> For
no matter how loudly or clearly it was shouted at the event mere moments
earlier, Clinton’s minions silenced those voices that, in their way, demanded Clinton

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">It is no secret

increase in crime. Coincidentally, Clinton was quick to point the finger at the

have profited from the sale of bodies to the private prison industry complex? Thus,
when BLM questions </span><span style="background: white;">Clinton about her role in the private prison
industry complex, everyone should be concerned about her answer and/or
unwillingness to answer because not just Black families and lives are affected.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clinton continued,
like any bad ex would, to do just what BLM had accused her of in New Hampshire:
“victim blaming.” “If [we] work hard and do
[our] part, [we] should be able
to get ahead and to stay ahead.” Maybe Clinton’s campaign would do
well to purchase a copy of David K. Shipler’s, <i>The Working Poor: Invisible in America</i>, a collection of narratives
of hardworking Americans who can’t seem to get ahead, no matter how hard they
try or work, which brings us to Bill’s “<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1996/08/21/us/clinton-signs-a-bill-raising-minimum-wage-by-90-cents.html">Minimum
wage</a>” legislation that did more to keep working Americans in poverty than
lift them out. Ironically, Americans were outraged when, presidential hopeful,
Jeb Bush suggested working longer hours. Where is the outrage at the subliminal
suggestion that Americans are not working hard enough? Where does Clinton stand
on minimum wage? She says she’s for equal pay, but minimum wage hasn’t been
addressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Making sure she
hit every topic covered by her political rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, <a href="http://reason.com/archives/2015/06/15/hillary-clintons-disastrous-student-loan">Clinton
also mentioned affordable college tuition and student loan debt</a>. Like a
scorned lover, I scoffed, and thought, “Now, there’s an oxymoron if ever I heard
one: affordable and student loan in the same context. Consequently, Bill
Clinton’s legislation denies working Americans the opportunity to discharge
student loans in bankruptcy while offering methods of repayment that many
cannot meet. That’s why students are strapped with insurmountable debt after
college. Imagine, Donald Trump can fold on a multi-million dollar real estate deal
by filing bankruptcy, but the average working class, college student with student
loan debt has to struggle to repay loans with, often times, two or more low
wage paying jobs. In addition, the affordable college plan Clinton hints at is
a slap in the face compared to the plan proposed by <a href="http://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/recent-business/make-college-tuition-free">Sen.
Bernie Sanders</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In fact, much
of what Clinton mentions in her speech echoes the issues addressed by<a href="http://www.sanders.senate.gov/agenda/"> Sen. Sanders in his 12 Step
Agenda</a>. Moreover, Clinton is merely willing to mention these issues “loudly”
and “clearly,” thinking it will relieve her of addressing the issues or providing
a clear plan for helping Americans who work hard, thus, expecting to get ahead
and stay ahead. Unfortunately, Clinton can only hide for so long, but why wait for
her to change her position on the issues, yet again? She began her speech by
telling us that we need someone “who best understands
the pressures facing the families of America...and who has the skills and
tenacity to tackle them”; she’s right. Let's be done with basic, bargain basement, politics by supporting the one person in this race who is not bargaining with special interest groups: Sen. Bernie
Sanders, the real deal.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Black Lives Matter
(BLM) movement has made it clear: "This ain't Yo Mama's Civil Rights
Movement!!!" In the words of my friend Donna Rogers, "<span style="background: #F6F7F8; color: #141823; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">That is the one thing they
got right."</span> To many, the BLM
movement is "fragmented," "splintered," and "unorganized,"
and it's obvious that Hillary Clinton feels the same. What began as an attempt
to confront Clinton during her closed campaign event quickly turned into a
lecture on movement building. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As Julius Jones
eloquently droned on about the plight of Blacks in America, a history that
Clinton is well aware of, at the end of the day, his pressing question was:
"What in your heart has changed that will change the direction of this
country?" The fact that Clinton didn't directly answer the question
actually answers the question: NOTHING! However, Clinton did provide some
excellent advice, as she pointed to successful movements, past and present.
"...The people behind that consciousness raising and advocacy, they had a
plan ready to go...you're going to have to come together as a movement and say,
'Here's what we want done about it...'" This is exactly why the BLM
movement is not "Yo mama's civil rights movement." Those who led the
Civil Rights and other notable movements had a plan, a platform, and demands,
some of which were met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

what <b>you</b> plan to do, <b>what are your demands</b>?"
Language is a strange thing. One word can make a difference. Thus, when a group
of people demand something, they use the phrase "WE WANT":
"want" being the operative word, and a word that Clinton, herself,
used when instructing the group on movement building: "...come together as
a movement and say, 'Here's what <b>we</b> <b>want</b> done about
it.'" <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Bill Clinton, enacted?" Direct and to the point! The Black Panthers had a

The Fourteenth Amendment of the US constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the Black community from which the Black defendant came. We have been and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man” of the Black community.</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Panthers made their demands clear. They initiated the free breakfast program, taught self-defense to local residents, held weekly meetings to teach and keep the community informed, which is important to any movement that plans on longevity. How dare a movement ask for favors without outlining what they intend to do to help their condition. This is something else that is absent from the BLM movement: a program to help lift Blacks out of their situation. </span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Building programs is also important to any movement that plans on longevity. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yeah, I miss my
"mama's civil rights movement." It was organized, it had a clear
plan, a platform, programs, and demands. Many say that the BLM movement is
still young, and that is true, but Huey and Bobby Seale had their act together
within a year of being formed, and the <b>two </b>were about the same
age as those in the BLM movement, so that's no excuse for poor planning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.75pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In closing, the BLM
movement can learn a lot from my mama's civil rights movement because it's not
as though BLM has started anything new. However, that would require them to
actually look at movements that have worked and follow their templates. For sure,
it's not enough to wrestle mics from middle-aged men or stand and be lectured
to; there has to be more. BLM would do well to work towards building a
multi-cultural, multi-ethnic movement, but their actions have turned some
possible advocates off, but it's not too late to win them back. Again, I will
turn to Ms. Rogers, Start by seeking assistance from those with experience in
movement building. “Jesse Jackson's door is always open; Tom Burell is a great
strategist, and Vernon Jordan is a behind the scenes king maker. Rather than
reinventing the wheel, go to the source of knowledge and stop embarrassing
yourselves." Although the Panthers had a good program, their movement
was infiltrated and thwarted because it was not multi-cultural or multi-ethnic,
but my mama’s civil rights movement was, which is what made it successful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

racial profiling and police brutality resonated the loudest in the Black
community. Consequently, it was the beating of Rodney King that brought
attention to police brutality in America’s inner-cities, but the acquittal of
the four officers involved in King’s beating sent its own message: Black lives
don’t matter, for “regardless of the lofty ideas engraved on paper</span> in

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;">Human trafficking is a disturbing tale,
but human trafficking tale that goes untold involves the enslavement of Black
children in American homes and/or businesses. One such group of enslaved Black
children are known as <b><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anick-supplice-dupuy/tens-of-thousands-of-hait_b_5488431.html">restaveks</a></b>:
children brought from Haiti to perform domestic duties and run errands. According
to the article “</span><b><span style="color: #343434; line-height: 107%;"><a href="http://listverse.com/2014/01/07/10-horrifying-examples-of-modern-day-child-slavery/">10
Horrifying Examples Of Modern-Day Child Slavery</a></span></b><span style="color: #343434; line-height: 107%;">” by Kristance Harlow, “</span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;">There are an
estimated 50,000 slaves in the United States and an additional 17,500 are being
trafficked into the country every year. That is more people being enslaved
annually than during legal slavery in America’s dark history.</span><span style="color: #343434; line-height: 107%;">” </span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;">Unfortunately, the
damage done to young Black lives does not end in American homes. Black children are being brought to America to
work in the Black hair industry. In 2010, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/02/slave.labor.ring.busted/" target="_blank"><b>CNN</b></a> reported on the enslavement of
girls from West Africa who were brought to America on the promise of a better
life only to find themselves working in New Jersey and New York hair salons,
and although these girls are not restaveks, they suffer the same fate. </span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;">Many of these children were brought to
America under the guise of a better life, but such is not the case. These
children are treated poorly: inhumanely. Locked in cramped rooms with little
ventilation, they are not allowed to attend school, they’re medical needs go
unchecked, and many have to scavenge for food. Little is known or said about enslaved
Black children in America today because, like Tupac says, “</span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Unless

under the criminal justice system. Ironically, the system, as it is today, was
specifically developed with Blacks in mind. After the enactment of the 13th
Amendment, there was no system in tact to control the newly freed Blacks, so
the criminal justice system that had previously catered primarily to the
wealthy was revamped to also cater to the concerns of Southern whites. To
pacify Southern whites who had lost the Civil War, Black Codes were enacted to
keep Blacks in check under white supremacy, the new law of the land. Despite
various laws such as the 14th Amendment or the Civil Rights Act of 1866, Blacks
were, and are still, viewed as sub-human, second class citizens.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>The
chart illustrates the disparity faced by Blacks who fall prey to America's
justice system. Although Blacks make up a mere 12% of the total U.S.
population, they make up a great portion of the U.S. prison population, and
this is not because Blacks commit more crimes; this phenomenon was created by
design. According to noted civil rights
advocate and attorney, Michelle Alexander, "Mass
incarceration is a massive system of racial and social control. It is the
process by which people are swept into the criminal justice system, branded
criminals and felons, locked up for longer periods of time than most other
countries in the world who incarcerate people who have been convicted of
crimes, and then released into a permanent second-class status in which they
are stripped of basic civil and human rights, like the right to vote, the right
to serve on juries, and the right to be free of legal discrimination in
employment, housing, access to public benefits." It was President Nixon's former chief of staff, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/18/us/haldeman-diary-shows-nixon-was-wary-of-blacks-and-jews.html" target="_blank"><b>H. R. Haldeman</b></a> who

Blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this without appearing to.”
This gave birth to the rise of the new Jim Crow system that is in place today.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

"get tough" on crime initiatives enacted to fight the "War on
Drugs" that helped perpetuate a situation, which laid the ground work for the private prison industry. According to Alexander, policies enacted during Bill
Clinton's tenure as POTUS only served to exacerbate the destruction of many

<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Juveniles</b></span>: Authorizes adult prosecution of those
13 and older charged with certain serious violent crimes. Prohibits the sale or transfer of a firearm
to or possession of certain firearms by juveniles. Triples the maximum penalties for using
children to distribute drugs in or near a protected zone, i.e., schools,
playgrounds, video arcades and youth centers.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Three Strikes</b></span>: Mandatory life imprisonment without possibility of parole for Federal offenders with three or more convictions for serious violent felonies or drug trafficking crimes.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coincidentally, these three provisions focus on a particular subset of American society: young, Black males.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meet Brandon
Noble. Noble serves as an example of those who spend countless years in the
correction system as a result of Clinton's VCCA. According to HuffPost
Politic's, "Noble is serving more than 13 years behind bars in Jackson
Parish Correctional Center in Jonesboro. His crime: being caught with the
equivalent of two joints' worth of marijuana in 2010...The state used two of
the felony charges --1991 and 2003 convictions for possession of small amounts
of cocaine and marijuana -- in their branding of Noble as [an] 'habitual
offender' under Louisiana law. That allowed them to sentence him to the maximum
of 13 years and three months, no parole." Despite signing into
legislation decreasing penalties for simple marijuana possession earlier this
year, another candidate for president, Louisiana's governor, Piyush
"Bobby" Jindal, supports his state's "get tough"
initiatives. If not, why are there countless Blacks housed in Louisiana's
prisons for minor drug offenses? Sadly, Noble's case is not an anomaly;
it's a practice.<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

According to the prison population, close to 50% of those in federal custody are there on drug offenses, and most of them are Black. What's truly interesting about the chart, however, is the fact that it reveals that the "War on Drugs" targets Blacks as a population, for the best place to capture those in possession of drugs is our nation's college campuses, but law enforcement has yet to raid Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or any other college campus. However, should law enforcement </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For sure, not all Black boys and girls live under the conditions relayed in Tupac's tales, but many do, especially those whose fathers are/were incarcerated. Children whose fathers are locked away tend to grow up in poverty, often finding themselves incarcerated. When these fathers are released, many find themselves unable to provide for their families without having to revert to a life of crime, usually selling drugs. Any child coming up under similar conditions is fighting an uphill battle, and there are many. Such conditions have been legislated and mandated by those we've entrusted to work in the best interests of all Americans, and if you don't get that the enslavement of Blacks in America, is problematic for all Americans, it could be because your struggle ain't like mine. You've never feared being pulled over by law enforcement and having the landscape of your life changed in an instant. You may not know--unless a member of the <i>Mob Wives Club</i>--the struggles of having to raise children whose fathers are behind bars, and unlike Mob Wives, Black wives whose children's fathers are locked up are not living the same life-style as their Italian-American counter-parts. </span></div>

Fortunately, for Americans there is a movement that is uniting Americans across the nation. This movement seeks an end to discrimination, it seeks equal protection for all, it seeks an end to policies that serve the 1%. That movement is Sen. Bernie Sanders campaign for president; it's a POLITICAL REVOLUTION. Sen. Sanders has a 12-Step plan for reviving America.</span></div>

have been living on the edge for centuries, begging acceptance from a society
that view Blacks as sub-human. For sure, there are whites who empathize with
the plight of Blacks in America; many champion Black movements that seek to end
bigotry and discrimination. </span>It's number 11 of Sen. Sanders' plan that gives me hope: "Protecting the most
vulnerable Americans," and according to the data, that would be Blacks:
#BlackLivesMatters. However, Blacks cannot abolish any system alone. Just as
the abolition of slavery in the 1865, it's going to take that multi-racial,
multi-ethnic movement that Alexander suggests to abolish current day slavery, whether it be human trafficking or trafficking bodies through prison complexes. The movement is forging ahead
despite being shunned by mainstream media, but we must be cognizant of those we choose to support. I suggest that before voting we vet
those who are running for office. I have, which is why I support Sen. Bernie
Sanders for president. I've reviewed his record and have compared it to the
record of others in the race. His is consistent, a voice that has spoken out
against injustice for decades. The others, well, their records speak for
themselves, especially that of Hillary Rodham Clinton, so when people ask why I support Sanders over Clinton, the reasons are obvious. It was a Clinton who ordained mass incarceration, and although he has apologized, the damage has been done and it continues to be done. His policies stripped Blacks of basic civil rights, and Hillary does not plan to rectify the situation. Therefore, there is only one dog in this race, and that is: </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>U</b>nfortunately,
we will have to imagine because the Black Lives Matter movement missed its
moment to truly shine light on the issues of Black lives in America, and
they could not have had a better audience: a stage full of members of Congress,
seeking the GOP presidential nomination, whose job it is to write and enact
legislation. Instead, they settled for interrupting a small audience in Seattle where Sen. Sanders was scheduled to speak on an issue that concerns countless Black lives: social security and medicare. Consequently, avoiding the GOP debates and focusing on Sen. Sanders make some suspect the Black Lives Matter movement of purposefully sabotaging Sanders' run for the presidency. Some have even suggested that the movement is being paid by the Clinton camp to cause a commotion at various Sanders events. However, the problem appears to be the lack of guidance and organized leadership. How else can one explain such a missed opportunity? OR Are the five unarmed Blacks killed in Ohio not important?</span><br />

inequality</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> the same way he does economic
inequality. He seems to be pretty good at that, but when it comes to talking
about race, he hasn't been able to answer some of the questions that people are
asking for. And I look forward to him actually answering that question while
he's on his campaign. Because he is someone that is seeking the leadership of
our country, and if he can't answer that question about race as these young
ladies said, the question is: Why should I vote for you? And I think he's a
hell of a candidate. I like his issues on working equality, income inequality,
but I have yet to hear anything about race on hand. And if you don't do that,
this is going to happen all around the country, not just Seattle.</span><span style="background: white; line-height: 107%;">” Again, one has to wonder if candidates will be made to answer the question regarding racial inequality, why did the movement fail to show up where a good number of Blacks' lives have been taken without due process or equal protection and where their voices would have been loudest: the GOP debates? Subsequently, Sen. Sanders has consistently voiced his opinion about racial inequality. </span></span></div>

Bernie Sanders' positions on topics that affect Americans than any other candidate in the race, so one can't help but wonder where are they getting their information, or lack of, from?

It's easy to uncover information about politicians. <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/" target="_blank">The GovTrack.us</a> website contains the voting records of every member of Congress. If Black Lives truly matter, it is paramount that you bring something to the table; a little knowledge would help.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">T</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">he Black Lives Matter movement is making quite a ruckus in today’s “post-racial” America—and rightfully so—causing some to retort, “All Lives Matter,” which is true, but like the meme says, “We’re focused on the Black ones right now…because it is apparent that our judicial system doesn’t know that.” Ironically, however, the US government has been very concerned with Black lives, most specifically when drafting the US Constitution and its subsequent amendments. For example, Black lives mattered when deciding how to count slaves for the purposes of taxation and representation. Thus, the “<a href="http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/6/three-fifths-clause" target="_blank">Three-fifths</a>-(3/5<sup>ths</sup></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">) </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Compromise was born, reducing Blacks to 3/5<sup>ths</sup> of a person. Black lives mattered when fighting the Civil War and when penning the 13<sup>th</sup>, 14<sup>th</sup>, and 15<sup>th</sup> Amendments: commonly referred to as either the Civil War or Reconstruction Amendments. Despite legislation, Blacks still live like second class citizens across the U.S.A. Therefore, it is time to look at the legislation specifically written to address the Black condition in America and ask ourselves, “If the </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#%21/constitution"><span style="color: blue;">14<sup>th</sup> Amendment</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> guarantees EVERY citizen due process and equal protection under the law, why are Blacks still begging for and being denied due process and equal protection “under the law” in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century?</span></span></div>

words are a motherfucker; they can be great, or they can degrade; or even

assessment of Blacks in hoodies—I'm including all Blacks because history has
proven, time and again, that law enforcement makes no distinction between
male/female/young/old when it comes to administering their bigoted-brand of
justice upon Black folk, (but I digress)—managed to degrade, teach hate, and
promulgate a situation we can no longer tolerate: <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/01/black-americans-killed-by-police-analysis" target="_blank">bigotry on sight</a>. <br />

her words, Clinton manages to degrade not only “open-minded white people” but
open-minded people, period—I’m not sure what makes one a “well-meaning, open-minded”
white person, but one hopes that an open-minded person thinks for him/herself,
but, again, I digress—To suggest that open-minded people abandon Dr. King’s <a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/martinluth115056.html">dream</a>

out of fear, continues to separate and divide this great nation.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, U.S. Marine veteran, Richard Davis, Trayvon Martin--donned
in a hoodie, armed with skittles and tea--, and countless other unarmed Blacks
who died at the hands of law enforcement were all judged on sight. They were
viewed as "arrogant," "disobedient,"
"threatening," "thugs...” Their lives were viewed as worthless
when taken by those afflicted by "a twinge of fear." Through
Clinton's words, I envision Brent Staples' experience: <br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
"...a graduate student newly arrived at the
University of Chicago. It was in the echo of that terrified woman’s footfalls
that I first began to know the unwieldy inheritance I’d come into—the ability
to alter public space in ugly ways. It was clear that she thought herself the
quarry of a mugger, a rapist, or worse (<a href="http://brent%20staples,%20%e2%80%9c%20just%20walk%20on%20by%20%e2%80%9d/" target="_blank">Just Walk on By</a>).</div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">S</span></b>taples’
experiences mimic the experiences of many Blacks in America, not just Black
males. Clinton’s justification of fearing Blacks in hoodies propagates stereo-types
that validate violating Blacks of their Constitutional rights because, in
Clinton’s world, it’s more about making “well-meaning, open-minded” white
people comfortable than it is about protecting the rights of Blacks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/27UN687rYRXWe_aZevUhpQ--/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9MzAwO3E9OTU7dz0zMDA-/http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/glEAAOSwj0NUiH~V/$_35.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://s.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/27UN687rYRXWe_aZevUhpQ--/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9MzAwO3E9OTU7dz0zMDA-/http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFgxMDAw/z/glEAAOSwj0NUiH~V/$_35.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">U</span></b>nfortunately,
Clinton’s words leave me shaken. As a resident of the Chicagoland/Northwest-IN
area, my family, friends, and I own many hoodies; some are pull-overs, some zip
up. We wear hoodies to keep warm during the harsh Chicago winters. I recently
purchased a couple of hoodies from the high school for my grandson. He’s a
sweet kid; he still finds pleasure in watching “Hey Arnold” at 16yrs. old; he’s
small in stature: 5’2”, 125lbs. He doesn’t smoke, drink, or do drugs, but his
grades aren’t the best. His most prized possession, consequently, is the<a href="https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEVr85BLRVAqUAAKUnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTE5anQ2YWwxBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDRkZYVUkzNV8xBHNlYwNyZWwtYm90?p=the+north+face+hoodie&hsimp=yhs-004&hspart=mozilla&ei=UTF-8&fr2=rs-bottom&fr=yhs-mozilla-004">
NorthFace</a> hoodie he saved for and purchased himself for his birthday. Now, thanks
to the hateful words of Clinton, I and my grandson fear that some “well-meaning,
open-minded” white person may feel threatened by our gear and hastily violate
our rights out of preconceived fear at first sight. Isn’t that the bigoted mentality
that caused the death of 12 yr. old <a href="http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-tamir-rice-investigation-documents-20150613-story.html">Tamir
Rice</a>? Besides, if her concern is truly young Black males in hoodies, why does she sell hoodies on her campaign website? Is it that she does not see young Black males as a voting block worth courting?<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">B</span></b>igotry,
of any kind, cannot be tolerated if we are to grow as a nation. But when bigots
act on sight, all that is gained is violation of rights and, more frequently
than not for Blacks, loss of life. For those who believe Clinton’s words are
taken out of text, ask her what are her plans for undoing the damage done by
her husband’s Welfare Reform, Three Strikes Law, and Deregulation. Maybe then
we can truly put her words into context. Until then, spread words of love, not
hate. <br />

Imagine…it’s a holiday, you’re attending a gathering of family and friends. Someone yells, “we need ice,” and looks out about the drive way to see that your car is the most accessible for making the run. You, unwilling to make the run, think nothing of tossing your keys to the designated runner who scurries on to complete his task. While on the ice run, the runner runs through a traffic light fitted with a red light camera; the car is captured as the driver commits the infraction.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The red light ticket debate</span><br /><br />Three weeks later, you receive a red light ticket in the mail, displaying the rear license plate and your vehicle going through a red light; the ticket also states the date and time of the alleged infraction. You question the ticket because you neither live nor work in the area where the infraction occurred. Then, you realize you were not the driver because the infraction occurred during the ice run.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Who is responsible for the ticket?</span><br /><br />You confront the family member who made and ice run and committed the infraction; he laughs, “You can’t prove it was me; so, it wasn’t me; therefore, I’m not responsible for the ticket. The court sent the ticket to you, not me.” You point to the picture, trying to tie the accused to the infraction, but all you have is a picture of the rear license plate of your car proceeding through the red light. A bit steamed, you realize that you will have to pay a fine you did not incur for a moving violation you did not commit, which will be reflected on your driving record. Reluctantly, you pay the ticket and suffer the consequences of allowing others to drive your car. However, burden of proof says fight such tickets because their issuance places responsibility on the owner of the car, not the violator. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Flawed application </span><br /><br />Now, imagine making the ice run, but you’re riding in the passenger seat of your car; your nephew wants to test drive your new sports car, so you let him. He runs through a red light and is espied by a police officer who pulls the car over. Who gets the ticket? Get the picture?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466705468965848598.post-77178292778553565762010-08-22T12:06:00.000-05:002010-08-22T12:07:00.296-05:00When Will We Learn?Calumet High School was closed and converted into a Charter School, in Chicago Public Schools’ efforts to provide better education designed to leave no child behind. However, Calumet, located on Chicago’s Southside, was the only high school in the neighborhood, serving ten elementary feeder schools. Therefore, several children will be left behind or killed while crossing rival gang territory, in their pursuit of a high school diploma. <br /><br />Ironically, there was no mass protest by concerned parents or local leaders to block the closure; Oddly, the only protest at Calumet High School (1995) occurred when the school decided to ban the wearing of black and red Air Jordan’s: colors worn by one of the gangs that plague the community.<br /><br />If nothing else, the poverty level of the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood strongly vetoes closing Calumet. Closure forces community parents to find a school that their children can attend without venturing far from their neighborhood; this requires paying daily bus fare on a shoestring budget. As a result, many students will be forced to miss classes because their parents cannot afford the astronomical bus fare required to transport children to and from school. Calumet was closed, and parents’ of the community are left to fend for themselves in their quest to provide their children with a high school education. <br /><br />Sadly, parents of high school students in the Auburn Gresham community can only hope that as their children go to and from school that they do not meet the same fate as 16 year old Derrion Albert, who was beaten to death at Fenger High School. Albert, too, was forced out of his community of Altgeld Gardens because Carver High School, the only high school in the community, was closed and reopened as a Charter School. When will we learn?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466705468965848598.post-69322271673150023192008-11-16T15:40:00.004-06:002008-11-16T15:43:24.577-06:00Are We Moving Toward a Socialist Nation?Now that we have survived the Presidential election, and we have come to accept the fact that the next President of the United States is of African heritage, it is now time to clear up misinformation that has swirled around this great man during the campaign. During the campaign, President-elect Barack Obama has been called “everything except a child of God.” Ironically, the mud-slinging came from those who claim to be “Christians,” but that is not the issue of this writing. President-elect Obama has been constantly referred to as a “socialist.” Many believe that because of his “liberal” views our future President will turn our “budding” capitalist system into one of socialism. Well, for those who believe that we are headed towards a socialist system, let me put your fears to rest.<br /><br />It is important for the citizens of America to know and understand our history as a nation. That being said, we have been practicing socialism since former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt developed and implemented the “New Deal.” Roosevelt decided that government intervention was needed to bring the country out of The Great Depression. As a result, Roosevelt initiated various social programs, in addition to industry regulations, to aid suffering Americans. Roosevelt developed Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in 1935 to assist children in families with low or no income. Another program established under the New Deal was Social Security. Even those who have yet to reach retirement age benefit from Social Security programs today.<br /><br />In 1965, Medicaid, which provides medical assistance to low or no income families with children and Medicare, which provides medical assistance to those 65 years-of-age and older reared their socialists’ heads, taking hard earned monies from the gainfully employed to assist children and the elderly.<br /><br />Consequently, socialism has been alive and kicking in these United States for several decades. However, I agree with those who believe we are headed toward a socialist government, only difference is I have been aware of our socialist tendencies for quite some time. Thus, I propose a solution to ease our woes of becoming socialist and return America to its capitalist roots, which we love and miss.<br /><br />Those of us who believe it is time to stop the move toward a socialist government should take to the streets, write our Congresspersons, and demand an end to the madness. We should demand a move toward a solidified capitalist system. To that end, the following programs must cease immediately after the inauguration on January 20, 2009:<br /><br />Public assistance: why should hardworking, patriotic Americans contribute the wellbeing of the lazy and unfortunate who have nothing better to do than "be fruitful and multiply?" They had the same opportunities as any other citizen in America, to include birth control and/or abstinence, and should be left to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps instead of leaning on the middleclass for survival.<br /><br />Medicaid/Medicare: why should those hardworking, patriotic Americans concern ourselves with the health of children of low or no income families? They only our future, but isn't it best to live in the present? Why should be burden ourselves with the health care of the elderly? They have lived their lives, and many of them have lived unhealthy lives. Why must the middleclass be forced to care for individuals who are on their way out of existence due to their inability to abstain from indulging in a poor eating fare, overeating, drinking, smoking, and other equally as harmful practices in their lifetimes? It is ludicrous to say the least. They are the past, and it's time for us to move forward.<br /><br />Social Security: why should hardworking, patriotic Americans worry with retired workers who failed to plan better for their retirement. Should we be made to supplement the income of the disabled? Aren’t there jobs available for those who suffer myriad maladies? Doesn’t the government give tax breaks to those who employ the handicapped? Lately, there has been a trend towards hiring seniors because of their great work ethics; let's put them back to work. Disabled individuals should get in where they fit in; they should take advantage of the opportunity to work in industries that hire them, opposed to taxing those of us who are already taxed beyond belief.<br /><br />Unemployment Insurance: why should hardworking, patriotic Americans concern themselves with those who have lost their jobs? Of course, they have paid into the program, and that being said, they should only be allowed to take from the program what they have contributed. People should learn to budget better; saving for a rainy day is something that should be taught in every school and church across America. I can’t think of a damper situation than the loss of income. If people learned to save instead of attempting to keep up with the Joneses, they would find a nice nest egg readily available in case they lose their jobs. Let's bring back the adage of Benjamin Franklin: a penny saved, is a penny earned.<br /><br />These are just a few of the programs that should come under the axe in our attempts to restore America to its capitalist roots. By alleviating such programs, hardworking, patriotic American's can better enjoy the fruits of their labor. Those of us who work without health care can better afford the health care we need because our income will be void of taxes that support the above socialist programs. Those of us who work can better save for our futures because we would be able to put monies taken out of our checks for Social Security to better use in an individual retirement account.<br /><br />For sure, alleviating such programs will cause other problems: the homeless rate will rise; children of low or no income families will take to the streets in search of food; they may even resort to robbing, pick-pocketing, and stealing; the crime rate will surely increase, but that's why be built prisons; we must continue to lock criminals up for breaking the laws of this great nation.<br /><br />I implore those who are against our country moving toward socialism to stand up and demand that such programs end as of January 21, 2009. Our future President has promised that he will listen to the people. It's time for the people to speak up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466705468965848598.post-52575847559393527272008-11-08T18:56:00.000-06:002008-11-08T18:58:01.288-06:00Eight-year-old Arrested in the Shooting of his Father and another Man!While reading the account of the eight-year-old boy in Arizona charged with killing his father and another man, I could not help but think about five-year-old Tre Merrit from Arkansas who killed a 445 lb. Black Bear last December. For sure, some will argue that five-year-old Merrit was merely hunting with his grandfather while the eight-year-old committed premeditated murder. According to news accounts, the town of St. John’s, Arizona is “stunned,” “shocked” by the actions of the eight-year-old. St. John’s Police Chief asked, “Who would think an 8-year-old kid could kill two adults?" I would, and I am neither stunned nor shocked.<br /><br />Unfortunately, society sends mixed messages when applauding the actions of one child who kills and prosecuting the actions of another. Though we may want to argue that Merrit was hunting, the act was no less premeditated since Merrit and his grandfather sat in a stand and waited for their prey to appear. When the bear was spotted, the grandfather directed the five-year-old to “shoot.” The five-year-old did as directed and was proud of his “accomplishments,” as was his family and the media.<br /><br />As a result, Merrit and his family made the morning news circuit. During interviews, Merrit’s grandfather bragged about teaching the boy to shoot at the tender age of two. The boy’s father reportedly stated that tears ran down his cheeks when he learned of his son’s accomplishments. He continued by telling of another defenseless animal that his son had killed the year before: three deer. Merrit’s father continued to list the helpless animals his son plans to kill in the future: a turkey and an elk.<br /><br />Nevertheless, for a child to shoot and kill a bear that was merely passing by in the woods and not attacking him or his loved ones is just as heinous a crime as the crime committed by the eight-year-old in Arkansas. There is no difference unless one considers the differences in the treatment received and the way their behaviors are viewed.<br /><br />The irony here is thick, and I am stunned and shocked that no one sees the connection between the two acts or a problem with the actions of Merrit. Merrit was paraded by the news media and praised for his fearless killing of a harmless bear. The eight-year-old will be paraded before the courts to explain his actions in the killings of his father and the other man.<br /><br />According to Psychologists, children who kill animals tend to grow up and commit myriad crimes, to include spousal abuse. Again, some will argue that Merrit was hunting with his grandfather. Maybe the eight-year-old was hunting his father. The bottom line is children should not be allowed to handle firearms at any age.<br /><br />For a child to shoot and kill a bear that was merely passing by in the woods and not attacking him or his loved ones is just as heinous as the crime committed by the eight-year-old in Arkansas. There is no difference. However, there are exceptions to the treatment each has received and the way their actions are viewed. (Let us pray that Merrit's Turkey is not of Turkish decent and the Elk is not a member of the Elk’s Club).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466705468965848598.post-65279063249298174502008-09-06T21:16:00.002-05:002008-09-22T22:18:18.957-05:00A Waste of Time<span xmlns=""><p>Now that the 2008 Summer Olympics are over, I cannot help but reflect on what it actually takes to be an Olympic contender. For sure, one must train in his/her respective sporting event and compete with others for a spot on the team, but what does such training entail? I watched in amazement as Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in Beijing, surpassing Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals won in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. I am sure that both Phelps and Spitz made swimming their top priority, putting in endless hours of practice in their quest to be the best in the world of swimming. Phelps and Spitz proved that they were the best swimmers by competing with and defeating others from around the globe in Olympic competition. Imagine how the glory of Phelps and/or Spitz would have been derailed had they come in 18<sup>th</sup> during the Olympic trials or last in their respective events… Would they have won any medals, the least of all gold? Would they have graced the covers of the numerous magazines on which they have appeared? </p><p><br /></p><p>As Americans, we laud ourselves as being the best of the best. We are the number one world power. We have the greatest system of government, the greatest military known to man. We boast a heterogeneous society, unmatched by any other nation. We provide our children with the best we have to offer, and we see them as the brightest and the best in the world. In actuality, it can be said that Americans view themselves as the elite of the world, better than any other nation on the planet: "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Unfortunately, according to a study done by UNICEF in 2005, the United States ranks 18 out of 24 among other nations. Imagine if education were an Olympic event… The United States would not be able to compete in the Olympics, let alone win a medal. This may come as a surprise to some, but for college administrators, it is a sad known fact. </p><p><br /></p><p>Today, many colleges and universities find themselves having to offer developmental English and Math courses because students are entering college without the basic skills required to succeed and/or compete on a collegiate level. Some colleges have been forced to add to their curriculum "success strategies" courses in efforts to teach students the skills necessary to succeed in college. However, such courses do nothing to address the real reason students do not succeed in college. At the risk of offending some, the reason students do not succeed in college is that, unlike Phelps and Spitz, school is not their top priority. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen countless students enter college classrooms without books, pen, and paper. Students treat their syllabi as though it is a rabid dog: rarely do any of them read it. To add insult to injury, most enter the classroom without having read the required reading, which makes discussing the assignment impossible. Students expect their instructor to tell them everything they need to know to pass the class successfully, yet they sit in their seats as though education is a spectator sport, rarely, if ever, asking questions. They think research can be done by merely surfing the Internet for information. They have no idea how to get around in a physical library, and some have no idea where the local library is in their communities. Attendance at the school's library is virtually nil until the end of the semester when papers are due. Then, there is a mad rush to research, draft, write, edit, revise, and proofread a paper to submit for grading. For sure, this process does not work, especially when one is working with a deficit, but it is widely practiced, and those who practice it expect great results. </p><p><br /></p><p>As an educator, I can tell you that I have heard every excuse known to man as why students come to class unprepared. Students today rarely, if ever, submit assignments on time and are quick to miss an exam due to some unforeseen emergency, such as the celebration of their birthdays or the illness of their pets. Yet, students who exhibit such blatant disregard for their education believe they are entitled to an "A" or a "B." If they should fail to receive the grade they so desire, they instantly and emphatically complain to the dean about the instructor, as though it is the instructor's fault that they turned in inadequate work for assessing the grade they eventually earned. What is frightening is at times the dean sides with the student, not because the student is right but because today's student is viewed as a customer. What is funny is that even if they are customers they cannot see that such behavior in school not only wastes their time but their money, as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>What do these actions say about education in America? Well, military recruiters can tell you better than anyone can the impact of our failure to address, in a serious manner, our failed education system. Consistently, military groups have had to lower the required minimum scores on the ASVAB test in order to find "qualified" individuals to enter the military. It is the equivalent of lowering the qualifying time for competing on the Olympic swim team in order to find those qualified to send to the Olympics. </p><p><br /></p><p>College, at one time, was a proving ground, a place where one goes to exchange ideas and develop new ones. College used to be a place where one could freely voice his/her substantiated opinion and exercise critical thinking skills. College was once a place where one either sank or swam, and it was his/her responsibility to do whatever it took to grasp the concepts presented in class, to include reading the required text. Of course, there were, and continues to be, resources available to students who struggled with certain courses, but today's student has little time to seek out such resources. Their time is divided among friends, family, and work. Interestingly enough, today's students believe they are the only generation who has ever had to deal with such issues while attending school, and for this they should receive some form of sympathy. Grades should be based upon their efforts, not the results they produce. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ask Phelps what he would have gotten had he put forth the half-hearted effort in his swimming that many students put into their course work… I am sure we would have never heard of him had he, but because he gave his all, Phelps emerged as a gold medal winner, breaking many of Spitz's long held records. If students do not begin to take their education seriously, I fear, we as Americans, will be sent home, left out of gold medal and global completion.<br /></p></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2466705468965848598.post-68917081037113885552008-09-05T17:05:00.001-05:002008-09-22T22:21:07.284-05:00ENOUGH!I have enjoyed the political campaign of 2008. From the debates waged during the primaries by both Democrats and Republicans, I sat perched on the end of my seat, waiting for what was to come next. I watched the coverage of each candidate, listened to the political pundits as they spewed their respective objective or subjective views, read every piece of literature written by political analysts and bloggers in regards to the pros and cons of Senators Barack Obama and John McCain. I prayed that Obama would choose Sen. Joseph Biden and held my breath at the thought of whom McCain would choose. I knew McCain would choose someone who would help him top the performance of the Democrats at their convention, but never did I ever think he would choose Gov. Sarah Palin. Like many others, I thought he would choose someone who most of us were familiar with, but I also thought he would choose someone whom he was familiar with, but such was not the case. Instead of the old, familiar group of Republicans, McCain came out of left field and chose Palin.<br /><br />Palin is the mother of five who served as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and is now serving as the governor of Alaska, a position she has held for less than two years. Why did McCain choose her? Well, that depends on whom you ask. If one listens to the Republican viewpoint, one will hear a bunch of adjectives and adverbs, nothing of substance, to explain not only why McCain chose her but also why she is qualified to become the next Vice President, and possibly President, of the United States. Therefore, to discover more about the woman who has “graced” the Republican ticket, I visited the following websites: <a href="http://gov.state.ak.us/bio.html" target="_blank">http://gov.state.ak.us/bio.html</a> and <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Sarah_Palin.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ontheissues.org/Sarah_Palin.htm</a>. I must admit, her gubernatorial website is nothing compared to that of Gov. Tim Kaine of Virginia or Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, but I guess nothing much goes on in the state of Alaska.<br /><br />As I researched Palin, I discovered that she fought to have certain books banned from the library. This puzzled me, as she has been touted as “an intelligent woman.” I could not help but think, “Why would an 'intelligent' being want books banned? Isn’t education about the exchange of ideas?” When I ran across a list of books that Palin wanted banned, I was struck dumb:<br /><br />· Canterbury Tales by Chaucer<br />· Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller<br />· Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes<br />· Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain<br />· I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou<br />· James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl<br />· Lord of the Flies by William Golding<br />· My Friend Flicka by Mary O’Hara<br />· Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck<br />· The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger<br />· The Color Purple by Alice Walker<br />· The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck<br />· The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare<br />· To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee<br />· Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare<br />· Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster<br /><br />These are just a few of the books that Palin found offensive. For sure, there are high school students, as well as some college students, who would love to see the absence of Chaucer and Shakespeare in academia. In addition, there are many who espouse the notion that Mark Twain’s work is racist, which I guess would be the reason why Palin opposes “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, as well, even though such views are unfounded and clearly show a lack of critical thinking skills.<br /><br />However, I cannot imagine what Palin could find offensive about books such as Roald’s, “James and the Giant Peach,” Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, or “Flowers for Algernon” a book (one would think Palin would embrace given her family situation) about a mentally challenged man who was restored to full mental capacity through a series of experiments. Unfortunately, the character reverted to his original self, but it was worth it, at least to me, that he was able to experience some normalcy, even if the experience was brief. The underlying question remains, “What is offensive about the books on the list?”<br /><br />I viewed her acceptance speech on Wednesday night, with much objectivity. What else could one do to get a sense of who Palin is when she has been unreachable and untouchable since her appearance with McCain on August 29th when he announced her selection as his running mate? I found her speech rather puzzling though. My favorite line was, “You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.” I was left wondering, which of the two wears the lipstick. I have seen “hockey moms,” but I have yet to see any in lipstick, at least not at the hockey games I have attended.<br /><br />I listened as Palin introduced her family, provided scant information about her accomplishments, degraded Obama and Biden while praising McCain, and negated discussing any real issues faced by American citizens. This was all fine and dandy, considering she did not write the speech herself. Then, she did the ultimate; Palin offended every grass-root community organizer in the country with, “Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown…let me explain…what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”<br /><br />This woman is crazy. The American Revolution was encouraged and fought by community organizers. Working class Americans earned the eight-hour workday because of the efforts of community organizers. Women gained the right to vote because of the relentless battle of community organizers. How dare Palin belittle the work done by women such as Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Nation, Jane Addams, Ada S. McKinley, and Gloria Steinem, just to name a few. These women, these community organizers Palin has such distaste for made it possible for her to serve as governor of Alaska and to be considered for the office of Vice President.<br /><br />If it were not for community organizers, there would be no Red Cross, no Salvation Army, on Peace Corps, no AmeriCorps, no Habitat for Humanity…the list goes on। Maybe Palin has something against those who reach out to the broken and downtrodden in efforts to help them improve their quality of life. Maybe she believes she is above those who find themselves in a hopeless state at some point in their lives. Whatever the case may be, in the words of Obama, during his acceptance speech, “ENOUGH!” I am tired of being insulted by both McCain and Palin.<br /><br />For McCain to think that women would vote for a woman for the mere fact that she is a woman shows lack of critical thinking skills on his behalf. The fact that Palin allows herself to be used by the very “good ole boy” crew she says she has fought as mayor and governor is unfortunate, to say the least. Let us face facts, if Sarah Palin were Joe Palin, McCain would not have considered him (her) twice, for the same reasons Karl Rove believed that Tim Kaine was not a good running mate for the Democratic party. Intelligent women would not allow themselves to be used in such a blatant fashion.<br /><br />The McCain/Palin ticket may have the pizzazz that the Republican party needs and desires, but it has nothing to offer Americans who are for better education, better living wages, better health care, better regulation of businesses, and a better America.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241616219790405593noreply@blogger.com0
