Does The Black Racial Services Machine Reflect The Views Of The People? : Michigan Citizen Detroit has a Black majority population, but are Black people in charge?

An series of "man on the street" interviews contained within the most "Progressive" newspaper in the most "Progressive" city in America - asked the following:

The responses are seen here.

I give credit to all who have responded to the question in that they all were sensible replies.
Unfortunately they all remain in the "transactional" analysis of the situation.

We Are Living Right Now In Your "Solution" Space
I have stated two things that I will fall on my sword for as being observable truths:

• Progressivism is an IN-Organic Methodology and Strategy
• The "Time Line" is the greatest enemy of the Progressive Fundamentalist

Let's take the last one first.

If the respondents were to move beyond the transactional level and instead pulled out their VCR tape and played the various promises made by the "embedded confidence men" in their communities over the last 40 years in Detroit and most other cities where the "Urban Strategy" - the photographic negative of the "Southern Strategy" was played upon Black people - they'd hear a familiar ring in the words and reflexes heard and seen today by those who seek to keep Black people "congregationally unified" under one banner.  Their goal is to have our community express its "Community Development Hopes" via the American Political domain - using a PROGRESSIVE methodology whole investing our "Black Equal Ballots" in the Democratic Party.

I am a grieving Black man.

I live a professional life in which certain models are used to:

• Capture the goals of "equal human beings" working under the guise of a corporation
• I am tasked to do a model of how well their present organization is equipped to achieve these ends
• I then make use of a 'reference model' in order to do a "Gap Analysis" which defines the areas of short fall
• Then the final deliverable is a list of recommendations of reformed "Governance" of the key human, financial and computing resources necessary to achieve their stated goals.

Even though I heard one progressive blogger tell me second hand that another progressive blogger said "Until the Black Conservative actually goes into a Black community and reforms it with the theories that they have - they are just talking sh**" they fail to see that such a claim says that the Equal Human Beings known as Black Americans are so dysfunctional - that we can't respond appropriately  to good governance models which has been proven to work elsewhere.  The irony that we are struggling to enter into jobs in which these models indeed work - is yet another point of irony about the claim.

Clearly the claim is only done in the spirit of "though we are addicted to the blue pill which is not working - we will not stop ingesting it until you PROVE to us that your red pill actually works........and then you'll have to purchase from us our lifetime supplies of blue pills that we have stored in our medicine cabinets, closets and basement storage area - all guarded by the embedded confidence men who you must get past".

In summary - none of them want to admit to themselves that THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS RIGHT NOW LIVING WITHIN THEIR "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ZONE" that was defined during a previous interval in the struggle.   The victory and the losses intrinsically define WHAT they were truly after in the first place - POLITICAL POWER - at the hands of their party and ideology.    The fact that our community still suffers in the fundamental areas despite this victory shows the need for the establishment of a FIREWALL to defend our core interests against those who benefit from their close proximity and the void in governance within our "Community Consciousness Nucleus".

To the Black Republicans I ask - "Are you serious?"

Do you think that with the static cling that is seen as the Black Community Consciousness remains fused to their METHODOLOGY of Progressivism and their VEHICLE of the Democratic Party despite what the facts say in:

• Detroit
• Flint
• Benton Harbor
• Chicago
• Cleveland
• Milwaukee
• Cincinnati
• Buffalo
• Rochester
• New Haven
• Newark
• Camden
• Philadelphia
• Baltimore
• Washington DC
• Atlanta
• Miami
• Birmingham
• St Louis
• East St Louis
• Los Angeles
• Oakland
• Memphis

that if YOU "try harder" you are going to get Black folks to come into your party?

Clearly there is a problem that goes beyond the "American Political Domain" - which your party and the one that has the death grip upon the consciousness of our people - for the purposes of harvesting our "Equal Black Ballots".

The People's Voice Speaks Of Their Frustrations About What To Do Next

Despite the frustration heard in the voices of these Detroit residents - the institutions necessary for them to productively work their way out of their present funk do not exist in that city - to the proportion that is needed.   They are dealing with a "window air conditioner" as they seek to cool off The Palace At Auburn Hills.  Regardless of how many "church fans" they pass out so that the people can feel that they are engaged with the cooling - the scheme that is deployed fails at the basic level.

No One Has Bothered To Take Dimensions Of The "Church" In Order To Understand The Size Of The
Air Conditioner That Our "Church" Community Needs.

The fight of "arms flapping" is enough to pacify some that "We Will One Day Receive COOLING".

None of the people who were interviewed in the article bothered to turn back and look at the EMBEDDED CONFIDENCE MEN who were leading them along - all the while.

These are the men who fused their "Community Development Hopes & Aspirations" into the methodology of voting.

When Detroit (and Newark and Chicago) became maximally dominated by the force who they VOTED FOR - they failed to see that - ABSENT THE RACIAL/IDEOLOGICAL conflict that was used as the "carrot dangled before the Negro" who had the "Equal Ballot" hanging out of his back pocket - that EQUAL BALLOT was diluted in its POWER to change his life in the context of the POLITICAL BOUNDARY that has been won over by favorable people.

(Why is this so hard for some of you to see?)

ORGANIC COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT Is The Only Way Forward

We have tried it THEIR WAY (or should I say "YOUR way").

This type of corruption brings out gun fire in other nations that do not have strong institutions that suppress political violence.  The main reason why there is armed uprisings in Ivory Coast and Yemen - and the reason why elections lead to murders in Kenya & Zimbabwe - is because the opposing sides realize that in the absence of transparent democracy - the monopoly majority who has no commitment toward EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE - does not have its METHODOLOGY to obtain this end up for grabs in an election.   These elections are used as a ruse to claim transparency and democracy - no different than a Black man being allowed "due process" before an "All White Jury" in Mississippi 1932.

Your METHODOLOGY cannot be allowed such entrenchment.
