Permission to speak candidly?!,
Black people are reactive rather than proactive when it comes to politics. Two cases in point;(1) the closure of LCB high School in Lake Charles La. Our community had known for three years or longer that LCB was underperforming but didn't do anything to help the situation. But when they decided to shut it down, everybody got up-in-arms. Too late! and (2) the recent sh...ooting of teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. Knowing that the "stand your ground law" was aimed at young black men they just allowed the law to pass and now that this young man has lost his you have a million man rally. Why didn't they rally before the law was passed and even after it was passed, challenge it in court? My point is that black people need to let our voices be heard resoundingly, not just in Louisiana but all across the south where laws are being passed almost daily to restrict OUR rights, not just to vote, in other way also. Already we see our governor ettempting to take money from public schools and give it to private schools. What effect will that have on public? I don't know either but the least the legislature could do is take the "go slow" approach. Black people, get off your assas (excuse my english) and become active, get involved, in your community, your state and national politics. The reason they continue to disregard you is because your actions show them that you are disinterested. But I already know that this post will fall on deaf ears!
