Some one is asking for a challenge

My point was misrepresented but thats ok I will tommorrow some time be posting a challenge to this post.

But let me go to one point that was missed of mine entirely in such a way it needs to be addressed.

Perhaps we don't hear the calls of the NAACP for improved educational access for minorities, but that I think says more about how race relations is descriptively portrayed in America today (a bunch of whiny leftist radicals complaining about ridiculous things like 100 year old wrongs and too few minorities in TV shows) rather than how most minority advocacy groups would like to hear it discussed.

Now You hear Julian Bond railing about the President. Julian Bond, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk know how to draw out the media with hot rhetoric.

these people are highly media savy; and they are choosing reperations.

In the african-american community more media is being consumed but it took Bill Cosby to draw a great deal of national attention to how black families are failing their own children.

Lets talk about priorities... if your community is not building a solid foundation for its house... no amount of fancy products in the world will help you.

Reperations is fancy trim, and paint. Getting Black families to value education, and to make their children value education is a solid foundation.

Holding democrats ( who in just about every inner city in the US run the education system) accountable for the poor education their children recieve and the mismanagment of the education programs the government designs to help their community is a solid foundation.

I don't believe ( and if Bill O'Reilly is being honest on this issue I am right) that Al Sharpton can't make this important issue the top issue of the black community the media is intrested in.

Or Julian bond

Or Jesse Jackson.

I believe reperations is a bad idea because the leadership and intellect designed to run this project could be used to bring the same kind of national attention and spotlight to building a solid foundation for the future of their community.

and instead they want money.

and when we look at things like the number of jackson allies and relatives who get jobs with the companies he shakes down we have our answer as to why.

I will respond to the bulk of the TMV post later
