Mr. Hall, as a body, these boule people do not add any value proposition to the people the @AAERTT represents. Most African American leaders do not impact the African American community in Jacksonville. Why do African Americans honor their boules of self-aggrandizing gatekeepers? The African American boule class in Jacksonville. 02/14/2024 https://lnkd.in/eRzMJ4Md https://lnkd.in/eazYJ--u https://lnkd.in/eGXq5Wrs I agree with Civil Rights Leader and Mentor Mr. Edward Exson Sr; Truth Telling Time, 6/9/2009: The late Edward Exson co-founded the African American Economic Recovery Think Tank, LLC, in Jacksonville, Florida. "Whereas hundreds of thousands of African-Americans fall from radar walking off the face of the earth, with very few empathies for their circumstances and others thinking, the world is better off with their demise. Blacks, we should not be surprised by our condition. We were precaution in the book The Dark Ghetto by Dr. Kenneth Clark, The Moynihan Report by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, then-Assistant Secretary of Labor, An American Dilemma: The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy, by Gunnar Myrdal, economist and politician. The Mis-Education of the Negro, by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Those men understood slavery's impact on us. However, we opposed their writing, still in denial and unable to contradict any of their work. African Americans could have been rescued from our designed destructive plight with education, Dr. King's victories, and ethnic unity. However, our contemporary black leaders chose themselves and ethnic discrimination, which has consequences as dire as racial discrimination. I am proud that many blacks have made significant contributions to America. Accordingly, blacks in Jacksonville hardly have an organization or group with more substance than folly (so sad). Most preachers are morally bankrupt and intellectually inept. Legislatively, our African-American elected officials have done nothing; look at our neighborhoods; they should be made to wear jockey silks to see whose stable owns them. The SCLC locally is dead! The Local NAACP is no semblance of an organization for change. President Rumilin puts a chokehold on any community initiative for change. I applauded Ms. Atkins for her insight on the education committee. Other agencies are just about pomp. Now that the social scientist has started a subtle ethnic cleansing in this new world order, I suggest that his people's commissions and omissions from various fronts have thwarted Dr. King's dream. Despite Obama's, what you will see within 100 years, white boys and girls will be asking what happened to black people that you will see. Edward Exson 2009

ShxtsNGigs and Misogynoir: I was going to call this "1.5 BM vs 1.5 WM" or "2 guys and another guy I've never heard of" or "When are we going to accept that beards and podcasts are a bad combination?" but settled on ShxtsNGigs and Misogynoir.

I ❤️ this podcast episode exploring the nuance of what it means to be white in America. In addition to me, you'll hear from: ⭐️ Historian Nell Painter about the invention of white people ⭐️Sociologist Julie Dowling about the complexities of being Hispanic or Latin American in a world that prizes whiteness ⭐️Embrace Race co-director Melissa Giraud on how to help children be thoughtful, informed and brave about race. ➡️ The episode explores much more than what it means to be white, it explores what it means to live into values around equity and justice. ❣️So good!

Diversity should be a natural part of business. Not just in gender and race, but in creative thinking. In my latest Tough Things First podcast, I discuss the key differences between left and right brain thinking on the job. https://lnkd.in/gsGDnFu3

H O N O R I N G | Black History Month - 2 💡 Why is the B capitalized? Learn some history, and why it is important to capitalize the letter B, when referring to Black people. Source: Anti-Racism Daily; Shortened Link here and in comments. https://rb.gy/cvrlak 💡 Intersectionality is "a prism for understanding certain kinds of problems" within race stereotypes and gender stereotypes, for example. Coined in 1989 by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw. It is the study of overlapping or intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, or discrimination. "Intersectionality Matters" is a podcast hosted my Ms. Crenshaw. Below is a link to an episode recorded in January at the Sundance Film Festival. She leads a panel discussion about how cinematic storytelling and Hollywood portrayals play a critical role in the influence of who is included in historical depictions and what demographics hold power. It's a very interesting discussion and insightful in that it illuminates these subtle (to some) yet pervasive ways racism, and other isms are perpetuated. 💡 For your Self-Care, Tracee Stanley's newest book, "The Luminous Book" is just that, luminous. If you do not know Tracee, please google her! She's a sage of our time and her presence will instantly calm your nervous system. One of her gifts is in facilitating yoga nidra.
