http://bit.ly/1LznYsy

Listening to an earlier Me.issa Harris-Perry broadcast, I discovered Phillip Agnew, who got involved in ‘the struggle’ when he began demanding Florida governor Rick Scott to repeal the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law.
He’s now executive director of the Dream Defenders, a business designed to formalize Black activism against oppression… what phenomenal idea.

Read for yourself  what his ‘about’ page says:  The Dream Defenders develop the next generation of radical leaders to realize and exercise our independent collective power; building alternative systems and organizing to disrupt the structures that oppress our communities.   http://huff.to/1IToLWX

Our Demand Simple: Stop Killing Us

I am so proud of ‘our’ young people…taking charge, organizing 2015 style & making a great difference.  A thousand hats off to:

Black Men Are Good Dads… Not Absentee or Dead Beat Dads, Says Center for Disease Control

b

We’ve been told, quite frequently and repeatedly that the problems in the black community that we’ve seen in Ferguson and Baltimore recently are not the fault of biased, paramilitary, paranoid and violent policing (even if the Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that black people are three times more likely to be subject to law enforcement uses of force).

But what we’ve heard the most, is that the real problem is the Breakdown in the Black Family™. That too many black fathers have abandoned their children.

If only black fathers would spend as much time and energy on their kids as white fathers do. If only…

…the Centers for Disease Control— checked to determine just how involved Black fathers are, whether or not they are married to the mother of their children or live with them. What they found was that, in reality, black fathers are actually more attentive to their children than other fathers generally are.

They Tell Lies But Know The Truth…FHA Created All The Poverty, Miseducation, Unemployment , etc. Experienced By Public Housing Residents, says the Economic Policy Institute (http://n.pr/1IMV4Fy)

I

According to the Economic Policy Institute, Nixon’s Secretary of Housing & Urban Development, George Romney, said that “the federal government has created a white noose around African-American communities in urban areas, and it was the federal government’s obligation to untie that noose.”

He was speaking of the fact that the FHA had purposefully created segregated public housing projects like Freddie Gray’s’ Gilmore Homes in Baltimore and where I was raised, Barry Farms, in Washington, DC (haven’t you ever wondered why there were no or not a significant number of whites in public housing…no where in the U.S.?).  Though Romney implemented programs to force the projects to desegregate, Nixon got rid of him.

We the people may not know this history, but politicians know the federal government created these segregated Black public housing projects which would render its residents indegent for generations…well into the 21st century…2015 and beyond. And, they know the federal government is obligated to correct the situation. But as long as we, African Americans, in particular don’t know the history, it’s easy for the arrogant politicians to maliciously ‘blame the victim’ while continuing to pretend compensation isn’t due.

CLASS ACTION SUITE TIME…FOR REAL, FOR REAL.

Gov-FHA Helped Whites Create Wealth & Guaranteed $0 Wealth for Blacks

FHA’s New Deal housing program purposefully created intergenerational wealth for whites via suburbsn home ownership & $0 for Blacks relocated into public housing.

Gillmor Homes public housing project where Freddie Gray lived was opened Sept 1942 by FHA. 1930’s, the gov created segregated public housing projects for Blacks across the country it created suburbs…close to jobs, etc. for whites….giving them loans to buy houses while denying loans to Blacks. In 2015, those suburban homes are worth more than $500,000…government created wealth for today’s white suburban children & grandchildren. Whereas, the government’s purposefully created & strategically located public housing projects…isolated & distanced from jobs, etc…assured today’s Black residents’ children & grandchildren, like Freddie Gray, $0.00 wealth…according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Why Not ‘Affordable’ Housing AND ‘Home Ownership’ For the Poor Since It Only Cost $500 via Gov Programs?

Why won’t social service providers recommend ‘ownership’ in addition to ‘voucher’ affordable housing assistance to the clients and homeless of DC?  #PUUR_Racism is amazed that the ‘most well meaning’, particularly Black, person, even those working toward  racial equity, never recommend &/or usually vote down ‘ownership’ though it’s possible for as little $500 via some government 1st time home owner programs.

Is it because…it’s difficult for ‘gatekeepers’ to broaden their perspective and assist their clients join the middle class?
