THE BLACK “ME GENERATION” A FATILITY OF CIVIL NEGLECT

(Unedited/Unabridged 2013)

 

Today I was reading a very interesting and revealing article in the “Gantt Report!” It was providing some insight into this generation of young people. The article called them “The Me Generation.” This generation proceeding the era of active rights demonstrations appear to take little notice or interest in things other than those that of a personal quality. dads or moms home for free The “Me Generation” spend their time chilling, “X boxing,” shopping for such personal things as sneakers ($200.00 to $400.00 a pair/pop), mobil/cell phones, making “booty” calls, and being caught up by “Black Boy” round-ups, etc. When asked about discrimination (i.e. sex, race, ethnic) or civil and political issues they look at you as if you were some alien force taking up their valuable time! They may say, “That is old time. There is none of that now.” It is peculiar when you are looking at and talking to college graduates, who are unemployed, in fact never had more than a temporary job without benefits, and still living in their!!

            This started us to look for factors that have brought our children to this point. There seem to be several factors that come to mind.

 

1. Although our generation was having its problems over discrimination in education, getting jobs, promotion on the job, and just living while Black, we kept this from our children in order to spare them the stress of such a condition. We though that the next generation would have it somewhat better.
2.  This bit of living history was essentially kept from our children in our integrated institutions of education and so forth. Among the four families we know personally that had children (there were at least 12children considered) and having finished college, not one Black male had found permanent employment. They had all the ambitions and needs of any mature male but none of the working priviledges to support their needs.
3. Too many Black Religious Leaders have become “Predatory Vulture Capitalist” “Civil Rights Pimps” using the beliefs of Religion as leverage to good living and wealth while surpressing the facts!

 

I recall the incident when a cross was burned on my front lawn in Connecticut in the sixties, Instead of calling my family to witness this; I sent them to the basement and took a garden hose, put out the fire and placed the cross in the trash. What I should he done is involved the whole family and all took care this burning cross burning followed by a complete explanation of the reason the cross was burning.

In the school system where my children were attending, no Black student had ever graduated and attended college. In fact all the college bound courses were held on the third floor of the High School and no Black student was allowed to go on that floor. I decided to get on the Board of Education and try or change this situation. I was successful and all my daughters attended the college bound courses graduated with honors and attended Yale, Brandice, FAMU, and Taladegia. But again I never explained this to my family and today I am hearing that this condition of disparit treatment is old time and no longer important. They say this as they returned to their room in their family’s home!!            

            Moreover, clean non violent (submissive) view of desperate (racist) treatment is the mind set that the white institutions have provided our youth. They can ride the bus and sit anywhere, buy things of pleasure, but presently they do not have the resources to participte because of the continual lack of excess to resources! Presently 40 % of Black Boys are on lock down or probation, 70% have only temporary employment and not even aware of why. The facts suggest that Black “Me Generation” Boys are still subject to discrimination because of plain old ignorance.        

            Finally, These “Me Generation” Black Boys must be looked at as willing members of a classic “Cult!” They will have to be deprogrammed using a severe discrepant event of a medical or psycholocal nature nearing demise. Followed by a reprogramming using aggressive douses of truth and good information.

            As long as a people allow their oppressors to provide them their history they will always be slaves. Yes. the conditions of oppression remains today, however, it is disguised and institutionalzed for the consumption of the disenfranchised!

WHO IS YOUR JESUS=HOW DOES HE LOOK???

WHO IS YOUR JESUS=HOW DOES HE LOOK???

how would you decode the growin-up experiences that would cause a Black adult product of integratin, to look at another Black couple and say, "She should have married a white man, or at least, a man of lighter color to improve the children's looks and color.  Look how Black they (children) are.  They sure have

BAD hair, it must be greasy to look OK.  Look at my sister.  She got good hair.  It nearly like white hair.  She has to wash out the oil every day."  Or listen to what a Black migrant woman said to me in Homestead, Florida, in 1989 as she looked at a picture of Black Jesus in a copy of EBONY magazine; "These Black folks must be crazy making Jesus Black.  Let me show you what Jesus look like.  Pointing to a copy of the King James version of the Bible printed by Gideon.  See Jesus is a blue eyed, blond haired, white man. The Bible is always right.  These niggers have really gone crazy." The real tragedy was that her small children were looking on and listening.  Another generation was being lost at the very moment.

 

THE FIVE DEADLY SCENARIOS OF THE GULF OIL DISASTER OF THE BP OIL SPILL MESS!!!

THE FIVE DEADLY SCENARIOS OF THE GULF OIL DISASTER OF THE BP OIL SPILL MESS!!!
(WRITTEN June 3, 2010)
(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

BP OIL RIG EXPLOSION GULF MEXICO
There are at least five scenarios that are possible disaster that are equal in importance; (Michael T. Klare, Four Possible BP-Style Extreme Energy Nightmares to Come, Tomdispatch.com, June 22, 2010,http://www.alternet.org/story/147293/)

1. Scenario 1: Newfoundland -- Hibernia Platform Destroyed by Iceberg, (Michael T. Klare, BP-Style Extreme Energy Nightmares to Come, ToDispatch,com, June 23, 2010)
2. Nigeria -- America’s Oil Quagmire, Scenario (Michael Klare , The Coming Era of Energy Disasters, Tomgram., June 22, 2010).
3. (Michael T. Klare style extreme energy nightmares to come, Gristg.com, June 22, 2010)
4. Brazil -- Cyclone Hits “Pre-Salt” Oil Rigs,

5. East China Sea -- A Clash Over Subsea Gas ((Michael Klare , East China Sea -- A Clash Over Subsea Gas, Tomgram: June 22, 2010)
Methane gas explosions:

Methyl Hydride or Methane Bricks (Bricks is the label given by Oil men to the composites of methyl Hydride, ice, and sand found in the Oceans bottoms) is a particularly dangerous problem.
If this BP oil spill was not enough, our scientist must bring to your attention the possibility of disrupting the Methyl Hydrate pool in the Gulf of Mexico! This will cause a possible change in the equilibrium that holds many tons (850,000,000 METIC TONS) of the green house gases (METHANE) at the bottom of the seas, etc. A large irreversible charging/avalanche, of explosive, flammable, toxic methane gas into our world atmosphere will be a quicker and more devastating "Hot House/Green House” for the earth than that of Carbon Dioxide from the burning of fissile fuels!! (rough estimates of methyl hydrate deposits range from 2,800 tcm/metric tons to 8.5 million tcm, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.)


MEYHYL HYDRITE BRICKS
The use of these chemical oil dispersants or detergents that make oil and water mix, will profoundly affect the pool of Methyl Hydrate in the Gulf of Mexico to the detriment of our nation and world! It is alleged that these detergents will break the bonds between the methane and water releasing the methane into the atmosphere. If ocean-floor deposits are disturbed by poorly implemented extraction attempts, accidental addition of other chemicals or by earthquakes, it can cause the sea to "boil" as natural gas bubbles up from the bottom, flame, explode, or worst poison the very air we breathe! The resultant high waves and lowered water density can sink both ships and drilling platforms. (Stratfor Staff, Methyl Hydrates as a Potential in the Global Energy Industry, 01/03/2007)
Americans are dying and getting sick from the gases of the Oil Spill. If the fuse is lit the natural gases of Methane are in danger of exploding in a bubble that could move the earth on its axis or change its orbit. (Methane and Climate Change: From the Amazon to the Gulf of Mexico Commentary; by Nikolas Kozloff, special to mongabay.com , June 20, 2010)
308,885 gallons of dispersant have already been spread over the spill site as of Sunday. The two main chemicals being used in the clean-up effort are Corexit 9500 and Corexit(R) EC9527A. BP has reportedly ordered 15 million gallons of Corexit (and says it has stockpiled a third of the world's supply of dispersants) . . . The Coast Guard has posted the safety data sheets for both the 9500 and (R) EC9527A varieties online. These documents raise serious questions about the environmental impact on fish and humans of the chemicals being used to clean up the spill. . . . Chemicals such as Benzene, 2-butoxyethanol, Ethylene oxide, etc. The compounds contain 2-butoxyethanol, which can cause blindnedd, headaches, vomiting, reproductive problems and death at high doses. (Jason Leopold, How Bush's DOJ Killed a Criminal Probe Into BP That Threatened to Net Top Officials, t r u t h o u t, 19 May 2010)
The "Human Health Hazards" section of the document on (R) EC9527A notes:
ü Can cause moderate irritation.
ü Harmful if absorbed through skin.
ü May be harmful if swallowed. May cause liver and kidney effects and/or damage.
ü There may be irritation to the gastro-intestinal tract.
ü Excessive exposure may cause central nervous system effects, nausea, vomiting, anesthetic or narcotic effects.
ü Repeated or excessive exposure to butoxyethanol may cause injury to red blood cells (hemolysis), kidney or the liver.
ü There will be blindness from the methanol or wood alcohol!
In addition it will chnge the Methyl Hydrite crystal structure and releaes the methane in large quanities-disaster!! (Kate Sheppard, Is the BP Clean-Up Creating A Toxic Soup in the Gulf?, 1727/Wikimedia), May. 10, 2010)
Oh yes, there is a sixth “Deadly Serinio!’ When the resovior of liquid and gas has been empted the remainiong pit/hole at the Oceans bottom could clapse, Thus causing the Gulf waters, which are under extermely high pressures, to rush in to fill the caven. This action and reaction would cause a Tsunami.more devasting than any the world has seen to date.
