Thank
goodness for local politics. We the people need to focus on
local
politics. The weekly report will feature a different
local
elected official every week. This week it is the Senior
U.S.
Congressman Charles Rangel. Congressman Rangel is heading up
the
20th anniversary celebrations of the Booker T. Washington
Learning
Center.
Booker T s
primary mission is to provide children with academic help and
assist
them and their families with the daunting challenge of navigating
the
school system and applying to college. There s been a
breakdown in the parental link to the schools,
says Rev. Kimberly Wright, Booker T s Assistant
Executive Director. A whopping 97 of the
centers students passed the mandated NYS achievement tests from 2003 to
2006.
Twenty
years ago, during a routine call on the home of a parishioner,
Rev.
Ricksy found four unsupervised children alone and began helping
them
with their homework. With the support of foundations,
corporations,
individual donors, and volunteers, his act of kindness has grown into
a
second school and second home for hundreds of children
and
families.
The center is located at 325 East 101
Street
in East Harlem. To learn more about the center please call
212-831-5506

Hugo Chavez, G.W. and
the
Devil
It is not surprising that Hugo Chavez called
G.W.
Bush
that Devil. The
leftist leader of Venezuela has been taking pot shots at the American President
ever since he survived an attempted coup
in
2002.
What was surprising to me was the reaction of the Democratic
party
leadership. Chavez is astutely attempting to replace
the
Democratic party in the eyes of America s Black and
Latino people. He used the 1960s Nation of Islam colloquialism White man
is the devil imagery to stir
the pot. Furthermore, by just holding up a
copy of Noam Chomsky s Hegemony or Survival,
Chavez was able to make the book a U.S.
best seller. Who was the last
politician that inspired Americans to think
Chavez,
through his bold statements, has been able to doubly captivate
the
world stage and hold G Dubs captive on the
world
stage. Last year, through the Venezuelan Oil company Citgo, Chavez began
providing low income residents of the Bronx
heating Oil at 40 discounted
rates. Now compare that act of generosity to G.W s record. How
many died in Katrina Do white
people realize that making a big deal about saving the pets insults black
people
How many Iraqi people have died 48,293 and
counting. How many Americans have died
2,700 and G.W. gets away with not allowing the press to take
pictures
of a single one; 20,000 U.S. wounded, how many of those will
need
prosthesis limbs
What do you call someone who is responsible for that much human
death
and destruction because of a lie, and jokes about it I leave
that to the imagination.
I
warn the democrats to wake up and start leading or someone else
will
replace you. Which is what Chavez is doing by expanding his
Oil
program to 17 states. I thank my dude G Dubs for exposing
the
truth about American democracy through his lies, let us not forget Florida
2000 and Ohio
2004. An older white guy I know summed it
all up at the water cooler  the party
that can t
shoot straight. Unfortunately for
the democrats Chavez can. |  |
