You hear alot of talk (mostly rhetoric) these days about All the progress we as a people have made here in the united states. Yet every day there is another group of people speaking out about just how they are feeling disenfranchised, another person is being denied the American dream. From the nintey-nine percenters, to the LBGT crowd, to the legal and illegal immigrants trying to recieve amnesty, shit even the tea partiers trying to keep them out. Every week America is calling attention to the plight of a different group of its citizens and supporting its cause of the moment, while one group of people is carelessly overlooked as the systems biggest target. THE BLACK MAN. THE CHAMPION OF CIVIL RIGHTS, literally the founder of moral humanity in the United States, is actually being set back further now during the "progressive era" than he was during the Jim Crow era. according to a Huffington Post Article HERE there are more black men now either incarcerated or under the watch of the Government (probation, parole, etc) than were slaves prior to the civil war! The long term effects to this trend include absent fathers, and limited political power due to the amount of African Americans currently under felony probation. The worst part of it is that this is the governments I N T E N T I O N. and they are INTENTIONALLY sending police to your neighborhoods to enforce this standard. Isnt it good to know that after all these years your still Public enemy number one? well they say if you dont have haters...your not doing something right, apparently in America, we're perfect. Dont buy into the media Hype, dont let them sell you with their "MLK Days" and "Black History Monthes" shit is NOT ALRIGHT YET. so lets not pretend like it is, we have a LONG way to go, and theres alot more to fight for. Which side of history will you be on??
