MY THOUGHTS ABOUT PREVAILING POLITICAL WINDS AND FORECAST

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT PREVAILING POLITICAL WINDS AND FORECAST – forecast, no change The very-rich and those on their way to that island of economic safety, sees government as an enemy – it, government, gets in their way of profit making. What is a little puzzling to me is that large numbers of the not-rich whites and those who have no hopes of ever being, also sees the government as an enemy – it, government, spends too much money on social programs and not enough on jobs and opportunity for them. Race is always a squall in these political winds. Few white people will admit it publicly but bad economic times always find a political balance with government assistance to black people. The supposed balance is a lie – a spin on reality by the very-rich, politician, media, and racists; but the lie still thrives as truth in our racist country. I have searched, in vain, for a comprehensive development plan with strategies for securing black wealth, political economic and social, self-defined, power. Yes, there are institutions, organizations, and community groups with mission statements designed to keep them in a self-sustaining mode – enough money and other support to stay alive for another year or two. Not only is there no such comprehensive plan but there is no organization, no forum, which could bring black institutions, organizations, and community groups together with the expressed purpose of developing a comprehensive plan to better the condition of all black people. This issue is dealt with extensively in Claud Anderson’s, “Black Labor White Wealth.” I agree with him: without a comprehensive development plan black desperation will continue in our racist country and world. www.adolphusward.net
