Al Sharpton's Chicago Town Hall Erupts into Revolt Against Machine Politics

"we have been trained to vote a certain way"

..the understatement of the year right there.

 

[Anger]

blame everyone but themselves "Stop blaming just anybody for the violence in the city of Chicago. Blame the right people, not just white people, but the right people..."

Common theme in blue, entitled, crime ridden communities.

I read that to be "never look inwards and relfect on the trash you just dumped on the ground while walking down the street, or the neighbor you just ripped off, or the store you just stole from" etc...blame whites and the politicians for your situation.

“The manner in which we have been voting needs to change,” Wendy Pearson, an activist against Chicago school closings, told the room. “I’m here to say to you that we have been trained to vote in a specific manner… we need to start looking at the manner in which our elected officials have been voting… if they have not voted in a manner that is beneficial to you, yours, and your community, then you need to start voting them out.”

This is pretty significant; looks like someone woke up... I'm just wondering what their definition of "manner that is beneficial to you, yours, and your community" is. Does that mean they want less government interference or more?

Daayummm.....interested mto see what comes of this. Wonder what old Al and the others left there thinking?

Breaking the grip of Stockholm Syndrome. "Dont just blame the White people, blame the right people!"

This is the message in a lot of the socially conscious rap i listen to. Its about rebuilding communities that were dually broken, first by slavery then by urban ghetto mentality.

Listen to Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Mos Def. They are talking about community, faith and political change, not bitches and guns and drugs.

Life is so terrible and they are held down by the politicians and evil Christian Whitey. Last I checked you've always been free to leave and live somewhere else. Yet they stay.
