Dealing With Post-Traumatic Slave Disorder...
~Frederick Douglass
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
~Marvin Gaye from What's Going On?
~Dr. Carter G. Woodson
In less than two weeks America will quite possibly elect that skinny kid with a funny name to the most powerful position in the world, POTUS...However, in the words of MLK,"Where Do We Go From Here???"
Yes this is a monumental (and yes for some even scary) moment in our collective history, but individual achievement pails in comparison to mutual collective group progress...Our children are being left behind and poisoned by food and drugs...Our education system is dumbing down generations of kids who are inadequately prepared to compete in a highly competitive global Economy...The Prison Industry Complex Represents The New Plantation Politics Of Our Society...Our urban communities have some of the highest infant mortality rates in the world...The unemployment rate is doubled that of the national average in many Black & poor urban communities throughout the U.S....We are losing NUMEROUS entrepreneurs, visionaries, humanitarians and trail blazers one generation at a time to 'the soft bigotry of low expectations'...
What's Going On???
W.E. A.L.L. B.E. Trying To Address These Issues & More This Sunday Oct. 26, 2008...Let The Conservation Began Here, But Don't Let It End Here!!!
Our Esteemed & Wonderful Featured Guests Are...
1.) Human Rights Activist Bro. Rob Collins
On Saturday, September 27, 2008, at 7am, while walking shirtless in my own neighborhood (near were Bird Road and Red Road meet in West Miami), I was stopped by my neighbor, a police officer who was on his way to work and saw me. Acting fully in his role as a police officer (lights flashing, uniform, gun, badge), he told me, "you don't belong here." It was still dark outside, so I can appreciate that he was keeping the neighborhood safe from prowlers - it's my neighborhood.
I established that I lived right down the street and that I was out for my workout. At this point, he persisted to use the language "you don't belong here," which is my real problem. For a Hispanic police officer to tell his African-American neighbor that! "he doesn't belong" in the almost entirely-Cuban neighborhood is simply unacceptable. Unfortunately, I'd had another neighbor tell me "you don't belong here" a month before, and he'd followed me in his car while I was walking to the grocery store. Other police told me to tell the police about that, but now, when the culprit is a police officer, what recourse do I have?
No person should ever tell another person, "you don't belong here," when referring to taking up residence in an area, particularly if the person saying that is an officer of the law. It is demeaning and embarrassing and not something that can be tolerated.
The officer is Edwin Gonzalez, Miami-Dade Police Badge Number 2890.
In the immediate sense, I wish to protect and support other Black people who are accordingly accosted and degraded, but the ultimate goal is to have all people be safe to live and
move freely. I need to get the word out. This must not go unnoticed - if you've experienced something similar, then you understand. Thank you for any help!
