THE

2013
–
From
A
Struggle
To
Video?

It
would
totally
astound
you
to
hear
what
your
child
thinks
and
how
he
or
she
may
think
highly
of
in
this
society
today.
But
truthfully
there
is
a
large
percentage
of
adults
who
may
have
never
even
thought
about
asking
that
particular
question
at
all.
There
are
kids
today
that
really
have
nothing
to
aspire
to
because
they’ve
been
given
absolutely
no
incentive
and
it
can’t
be
blamed
on
school
because
many
of
the
things
I
especially
learned
as
a
youth
regarding
my
culture
was
self
taught
and
going
to
school
in
the
60’s
and
70’s
many
teachers
had
incentive
to
exclude
what
interest
me
and
that
was
civil
rights.
Although
they'll
be
given
rave
revues
we'll
be
continuously
fed
movies
meant
to
sedate
our
opinionated
enthusiasm
that
of
course
all
must
be
seen
as
a
family
on
the
weekends.
Of
recent
The
Butler
and
now
12
Years
A
Slave
and
of
course
the
media
will
sell
it
and
many
of
us
will
be
sold
over
and
over
again
and
the
numbers
will
constantly
increase.
The
internet
at
times
in
particularly
when
I
think
personally
about
why
(personally
speaking)
African
Americans
use
it
as
a
resource
isn't
being
utilized
to
it's
fullest
capabilities.
Years
ago
as
a
collective
entity
our
people
(African
Americans)
relied
on
communicating
with
one
another
on
a
grass
roots
level.
Sunday
speeches
up
and
down
Harlem
every
week
where
you
can
hear
prominent
individuals
like
Adam
Clayton
Powell
Jr.
or
Malcolm
X
right
on
the
sidewalks.
We
even
listened
to
the
radio
way
before
FM
was
popular
there
were
stations
like
brought
you
informative
information
about
our
rights.
I
remember
attending
both
the
Million
March
in
1995
and
also
the
Day
of
Atonement
in
Manhattan
personally
and
seeing
images
of
Dr.
Martin
Luther
King
Jr.
March
On
Washington.
The
one
thing
that
should
resonate
within
our
collective
though
process
as
people
of
African
American
descent
is
being
unified
but
shamefully
it
doesn't.
Years
ago
our
people
had
absolutely
nothing
in
comparison
to
what
we
have
in
regards
to
the
means
of
communication
we
have
be
it
information
technology
at
our
fingertips
and
in
our
homes.
But
yet
it's
utilized
mostly
for
entertainment
purposes
and
to
sadly
keep
our
youth
sedated
or
distracted
and
without
attempting
to
offend
anyone
at
all
many
are
guilty.
Privatized
corporations
will
never
encourage
any
of
us
simply
to
empower
ourselves.
And
many
of
the
frowns
I
receive
from
in
particularly
politicians
I
have
been
personally
associated
with
is
eventually
because
it
is
never
my
intent
to
see
my
people
dancing
to
a
conductors
every
command.
This
generation
has
absolutely
no
real
leadership
that
is
genuine.
I
am
speaking
in
regards
to
someone
who
has
absolutely
no
sponsorship
or
incentive
from
a
major
or
private
corporation.
Every
supposed
leader
today
has
some
kind
of
show
on
CNN
MSNBC
or
other
cable
or
network
affiliates
whose
sponsors
at
the
end
of
the
day
what
want?
They
want
money
and
will
feed
us
anything
to
get
these
dollars
that
will
keep
each
and
everyone
of
us
debilitated
and
standing
or
sitting
still
particularly
on
the
weekends.

It’s
time
to
have
more
productive
weekends
as
a
family
unit
like
many
of
us
remember.
I
especially
have
fond
memories
because
every
weekend
whether
we
wanted
to
or
not
and
I
am
pretty
sure
many
can
relate
me
and
my
brothers
had
no
choice
everybody
went
together
as
a
family.
And
no
matter
sadly
where
I
have
live
in
the
United
States
I
find
it
almost
shameful
when
I
don’t
see
my
own
people
exposing
themselves
to
what
everyone
has
the
opportunity
to
enjoy.
That
cost
absolutely
nothing
and
that’s
spending
time
together.
People
continue
to
look
for
answers
through
movies
or
through
television
programs
and
life
classes,
which
is
a
great
thing.
But
the
answer
is
simple
it’s
time
to
get
back
to
the
grass
roots
of
things
which
means
packing
everybody
up
and
going
together.
I
remember
when
my
oldest
two
girls
Baseemah
and
Basidy
were
young
they
were
12
and
10
years
old
I
took
them
to
see
Spike
Lee’s
Malcolm
X
at
the
movie
theatre
in
1992
although
I
knew
they
probably
didn’t
want
to
see
it.
I
wasn’t
to
popular
at
the
beginning
of
the
day
but
they
enjoyed
the
movie
and
I
am
sure
they
still
remember
that
day.
We’ve
turned
into
a
generation
of
passive
Liberals
with
our
youth
and
lives
reality
will
soon
in
some
of
these
young
lives
be
difficult
to
deal
with.
Because
in
this
society
if
you’re
under
the
impression
that
you’ll
do
what
you
want
anytime
you
want
it’s
going
to
be
a
difficult
life.
It’s
imperative
that
we
develop
the
consciousness
of
children
at
a
young
age
and
not
welcome
these
passive
images
that
are
continuously
fed
to
them.
Truthfully
although
many
enjoy
them
video
games
are
even
passive
the
occupy
in
an
almost
trans
like
state
the
especially
under
developed
adolescent
mind
and
some
parents
attempt
use
it
as
a
parental
supplement.
The
only
thing
it
does
is
to
regulate
the
thought
process
making
most
that
participate
in
the
practice
everyday
either
reclusive
or
with
no
ability
to
realistically
deal
with
people
in
particularly
the
ones
they
can’t
control
with
the
press
of
a
button.
I
am
forever
thankful
for
not
only
having
had
adults
in
my
life
who
even
when
I
didn’t
want
to
always
made
sure
that
I
stayed
occupied
not
distracted
and
yes
there’s
a
difference.
Don’t
always
assume
that
just
because
a
child
is
quiet
that
all
is
well
and
without
even
checking
assume
that
they’re
always
engaged
in
productive
things
especially
on
the
internet.
Civil
rights
had
a
huge
influence
in
the
development
and
maturation
as
well
my
enlightenment
as
a
person.
It
taught
me
respect
and
it
also
at
a
young
age
provided
me
with
the
mental
fortitude
that
is
necessary
to
deal
with
sometimes
people
you’ll
be
confronted
with
in
your
lifetime
for
sure
when
mommy
and
daddy
aren’t
there
any
longer.
The
truth
is
not
many
have
your
best
interest
at
heart
and
many
of
our
children
aren’t
being
taught
to
rationally
be
able
to
distinguish
who
these
individuals
are
like
they’ll
surely
teach
in
other
cultures.
But
we’ll
surely
watch
these
insanely
none
productive
reality
television
shows
for
hours
at
a
time
without
even
taking
the
same
60
minutes
to
have
a
conversation
with
your
child
about
what’s
going
on
in
their
life
everyday.

4. 4
I
personally
sad
down
every
evening
with
my
youngest
two
daughters
Belise
and
Brittany
everyday
when
they
were
kids
in
grammar
school
with
no
noise
or
television
just
talking
about
there
day.
Once
when
she
was
only
about
5
years
or
so
Belise
told
me
about
some
man
who’d
daily
come
into
her
pre-­‐k
class
room
during
nap
time
who
had
no
business
there.
Unbeknownst
to
the
man
the
next
day
I
and
my
then
wife
showed
up
while
he
was
right
in
the
classroom
he
was
the
teachers
boyfriend
but
had
no
business
there
at
all
and
had
been
warned
in
the
past
not
to
enter
the
building.
A
baby
that
was
only
5
years
old
had
the
presence
to
communicate
something
that
was
inappropriate.
But
before
I
totally
fall
off
track
I’ll
finish
with
this
it’s
time
to
bring
it
back
to
family
communication
and
you’d
be
surprise
how
even
a
family
that
sits
and
talks
together
often
knows
absolutely
nothing
about
the
everyday
activity
in
the
lives
of
each
other
especially
the
children.
Many
have
in
their
own
personal
lives
had
to
deal
with
something
they’ve
never
shared
with
anyone
when
they
were
young.
Opening
the
lines
of
communication
means
sometimes
shutting
down
the
lines
that
will
mean
absolutely
nothing
when
all
goes
wrong
because
of
neglect.
There
is
a
documentary
that
specifically
address
the
struggle
civil
right
from
1954
–
1985
called
Eyes
On
The
Prize
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eyesontheprize/
It
seems
as
if
the
further
we’ve
come
the
more
we’ve
moved
away
from
embracing
what
has
brought
us
here.
I
have
all
the
respect
in
the
world
for
other
cultures
who
will
use
these
same
degrading
times
as
a
source
of
sparking
empowerment
ensuring
that
it
never
happens
to
their
people
again.
Are
we
positive
that
this
won’t
happen
to
us
as
a
collective
people
again?
Have
we
allowed
our
lives
almost
to
be
considered
non-­‐existent
because
the
question
has
to
be
asked
what
have
we
bridged
if
anything
at
all?
We’ve
come
from
a
struggle
to
video
but
sadly
our
children
will
start
in
this
documentary
unless
as
a
collective
people
we
re-­‐invest
in
our
culture.
