BLACK FOLKS PLAN A........WE THE PEOPLE

PLAN A….WE have one of us in the White House, and WE thought that WE wouldn’t have to beg and pander to the white man anymore, WE thought that our Obama would have our backs, that WE had arrived, that no more racism would exist, that WE would now get our message out, that Black communities would finally get what WE had coming, that jobs would be abundant, that WE would have more government money for our inner-city programs, that hope is here, and change is coming………….every single one of us Black folks, no matter what your status in life, is responsible for PLAN A. No matter your religious beliefs, or education level, you've played a part in our arrival at this precise point in time. PLAN A. It's ain’t too late to fix it or refine PLAN A, but it'll require one hell of a change in our entire fabric, and thought process. Our problems first started with the Black career politicians that live in our communities, and their continuous driving of the democratic process deep within our minds. Some are former attorneys with a deep insight into how this racist system works. They’ve spent years pimping the process, whether in school, or in practice. And most of all, these people know how to stay in office once elected. They've built their careers, sometimes from humble beginnings, and somewhere along the way, lost touch with not only themselves, but those of us in the Black community that brought them to power. Money and power amplifies your inner being, and Black politicians are no different. It’s an incredibly long road, and WE have to working faster and faster, and get there in as short a time as possible, and it simply has to start at home, with our children. It starts by teaching our children a modern set of new core values - from truth and reason, to financial responsibility, to understanding that all things are still possible in this country. Work and play with your kids - encourage them to dream and create, be bold with those new ideas. Encourage them to try. Let them fail, even if the result is blood. WE must lead by example, as parents, friends, and citizens of the Black community. WE must start living every single day with integrity, kindness, passion, and financial precision. Reach within, and bring forward the absolute best in your life, and believe enough in yourself to leave the rest behind. WE can influence the future by embracing the fact that WE have to stop building our future based on our painful past. Our very painful past! Black people need to start associating only with people that provide a positive influence, and provide guidance to those of us in need. Sometimes it's a conversation, though likely it's by example. If you take nothing else from this post, just remember this: WE have the power to change everything in our lives, every minute, of every day, and that my friends, is truly "Our Black American Dream." PLAN B is us
