To: The Black Community of Chicago, stop complaining about school closings.....

Black People of CHICAGO, I am tired of hearing you complain about schools closing. Perhaps with all the money you collectively donate to the COGIC, the Missionary Baptist Church, the AME / CME Church, etc., etc., THEY could get together and PURCHASE some of those BUILDINGS and START SCHOOLS..ijs, most of you aren't Catholic and use their schools, how about the churches you all belong to INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF THE COMMUNITY? Smh....

APPLAUSE for saying what needed to be said. And if you don't mind, may add something further?

In light of the Paula Deen outcry --racial damages by someone of a different race IS NOT causing the contemporary types of harm and impverished communities being proliferated from people of OUR OWN RACE.

If racist conduct justifies outrage, there should be even more public outcry when OUR people utilize religion for human exploitation --and when OUR people become elected to offices, and carry out deeds that definitively harms and oppress --not only their Black race, but they utterly abuse positions of public trust, for their opulent lifestyles (and cronies). Instances? Sheila Dixon, Jesse Jackson Jr., Monica Conyers, Kwame Kilpatrick, former congressman Bill Jefferson & family members –and legions of people from my New Orleans hometown. **And yes, I do think that most of them are remorseful (at least the ones who are NOT from my hometown New Orleans).

Furthermore, attendance at many African-American churches demonstrates that prominent members “the haves” distance themselves from “the have nots”? Hence: Snobbish people are as bad or worse than racists in some regards.
I think if races had “brotherly love” instead of uniting on concurring issues, but if there’s hatred and killing –-NOT ENOUGH NEIGHBORS BOTHER SHARING CONFLICT RESOLUTION HINTS; and if more people exchanged recipes for building stronger households, they’d be an increases of wholesome families, and better getting along.


Ironically, indifference about one’s fellowman is THE awful social problem in scores of churches! AND ENDORSING THE PROVEN UNSCRUPULOUS POLITICIAN is church policy because trust in God is not necessary when has strong "political connections," with $$$$$$$$. From ALL APPEARANCES, the heaping of money at churchianity seems to be the equivalence of heaping money at that which entertains and provides people with gratification IN LIKE MANNER THAT people enjoy / are gratified, willing to pay to see Madonna or Beyonce or John Legend or Jennifer Lopez. It’s a good SHOW!

From marriages of religion and politics marriage for purposes of financial benefits, a type of PRESTIGIOUS SLAVERY evolves. I entitle it: "RESPECTABLE SOCIAL CAPTIVITY," with telltale evidences of impoverish communities, disintegrated households, and rampant homicides.
