A Paradigm Shift Toward Racial Cohesion * 2
    #23423929 - 07/08/16 03:06 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

There are without a doubt a multitude of factors that perpetuate racial tension in my country (and I will concede that this tension cannot realistically be squashed entirely - at least not within my lifetime), but I would single out the relative lack of educational support and opportunity for the most at-risk members of our society, alongside a racially-biased criminal justice system, as the two most fundamental issues that warrant our deliberate attention in order to achieve a lasting paradigm shift toward racial cohesion.

Each of us should recognize that collective change on a societal level must begin with individual acceptance that something is in fact wrong, including a willingness to use our individual voices and actions as instruments of change.  Beyond doing our part as peaceful and respectful members of our communities, I encourage everyone to actively discuss and work toward a mutual understanding of how a lack of educational and judicial equality can contribute toward cycles of separation and poverty.  I would further encourage everyone with the resources to do so, to actively support organizations that work toward improving equality in both education and justice.

After spending hours vetting more organizations than I care to count, I present the following for your consideration:

  • Coalition for Engaged Education - Long term mentoring programs focused on foster youth, incarcerated youth, dropouts and youth with significant social and economic barriers to success.

  • Communities in School - Surrounding students with a community of relationship based support systems, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

  • The NEA Foundation - Since 1998, NEA has provided $8.5 million to help public schools improve academic achievement and $10 million to support district-level initiatives to close achievement gaps for under-achieving low income and minority students.

  • The Education Trust - Focuses on closing gaps in opportunity and achievement, especially for those from low-income families or who are black, Latino, or American Indian.

  • Drug Policy Alliance - Envisioning a just society in which the use and regulation of drugs are grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights.

  • American Civil Liberties Union - Working to defend individual rights and liberties afforded by the US Constitution, promoting equality and pushing for reforms to our criminal justice system.



I hope that the ever-lengthening string of human tragedy that keeps rearing its head in all of its media-centric spectacle, may serve to refocus our collective efforts on fixing the inequalities that plague our society.  That in the very least, those who have turned a blind eye toward these problems can learn to admit that they exist, are deeply rooted, and will require a complex and concerted effort (with heaping doses of compassion and humility) from every one of us to resolve.

Well, I think the problem is in the food that we are eating. It is causing fatigues and drowsiness and which that can cause a person to react in certain situations very violently. Like try waking up someone from out of their sleep very quickly. That person might punch you in the face until they had come to realize where or whom they are. But right now we are all sleep walking but doesn't know that we are not awake. We has women that are marking up their bodies with tattoos not knowing that it is making them unattractive. But they only live for the moment to get a person first response, and then afterward, they will have another one to be put on to their bodies so that they can get another response like the first. Tattoos are basically used for as an conversational piece. But all of these behaviors shows that there is a problem with us all.
