JUSTICE OR ELSE

MY THOUGHTS ON ‘JUSTICE OR ELSE’ Tomorrow the 10th of October is the day Minister Farrakhan has called peoples of color to a gathering at our nation’s capital. The gathering is expected to attract more than a million men who are dissatisfied with the social, political, and economic status of themselves and their families. The men see themselves and their family as being locked-up and locked-out of education, jobs, housing, healthcare and the sense of well-being enjoyed by others; particularly middle class white people. The dissatisfied of color see the affluence of middle class whites and those at the top and rightly conclude they are outside the means to share in that affluence. Not only are they outside but they are systematically kept there by federal and state laws, policies, and practices. The gathering, then, is to say to our federal government, ‘We demand justice or else.’ I don’t believe justice will ever be freely provided to those who are without a strong political and economic voice. Justice for all is not a reality in America. The gathering on 10/10/2015 will speak for many people who cannot be there. http://www.adolphusward.net http://www.amazon.com/Adolphus-A.-Ward/e/B00OSDSSRC
