Nobel Prize winner in Economics, George
Akerlof, once asserted that “The problem of the Black People are Black people”,
a summary of the whole issue regarding the failures of the African Americans to
retrain and re-educate some of their descendants, especially when the culture
of representation has reached a new useful levels. Perhaps speaking from the
issue of Welfare and how it was cast as a helping dice on the evolution of a
better society, and understanding the difficult circumstance of creating and
surviving in America. How does that work? We can suggest that primary essence
of these cultures of representation is how well a positive value is shrouded in
the past, and how the failures of these past reach the present through lenses
of others, give and take on who trains our children and whether have a network
called American Network for instance or similar general terms that offers
nothing to the society but how we perceive of it, can lend a pair of
interpretation to the American society and experience, that the people who
leave and manage it. In essence, having an American Network, that focuses on
African American lives and the Natives for instance, with sprinkling of others,
may perceived as perhaps unusual, whereas this is a course of celebration and
emphasis on black cultures which in my opinion now endures only differently.
The persons of interest and neo cons, are those who see to remove the reason
why these black neighborhoods for instance, are targets for drug and drug
poison, and seem to discourage the spread of diseases by enforcing at least
questionable possible behavior which are some of the very positive values of
the society. No wiser example is the
issue of Washington D.C and the decline of African American neighborhoods due
to drug and drug peddling. The example of D.C is not isolated nor vanquished,
the raking of drugs in African America neighborhoods it’s not a one off
incident, but in respect, African American neighborhoods have been destroyed by
gentrification and drugs, a problem left to law enforcement who respond and has
responded with jail statements, whereas the least we could have done was to
show some of traditional values which need not involve the whole aspect of drug
and drug culture.
Frederick L. Brown ’67 New England
as regional counsel for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in a
meeting with a renowned Regis Lewis mentioned that, “your Harvard Law School
education will be the single most impressive thing that happens to you…” “The
best course are the least interesting and stimulating ones, what you should
avoid is becoming social workers.
Without the role of African
American attorneys and the principal factors of their academic disciplines,
some of the assumptions about US laws will always continue. It cannot be said
to exclude that some of the court room triumphs, no more than what it is, it’s
a triumph that is based largely of the struggle to maintain the spirit of the
constitution which grows, and from that spirit which grows; there are questions
of the past. Some untutored historian may yet argue that the privileges that
America bequests its dearest and the functions of these privileges are security
which only time can explain. Yet time has proven its limits in failing to heal
the wounds of the past, for if we accept that American has really changed, it
is not for silence which gives us security with the winning team, these changes
endured because United States was a country designed to end slavery and
indentured servitude. The question after the 1776 was how best to end the class
struggle in the States and how well to endure the problems of colonization
including the false benefits of cheap and work without pay. This is not a black
history either can we deny that consequences of that age has not more than fetched
a history of the United States which is part of African American history. How
African American perceive of this history it’s not the item at hand it’s what
extent can some of the lessons from that past endure under this
conditions.
In Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States (1935) Supreme Court
struck-down NIRA, based in part on principal argument and complaints and
testimonies from those who worked there. United
States v. Butler (1936) Supreme
Court struck down Agricultural Adjustment
Act of (1933) to lower production and raise prices. Wagner Act – freed
employees to have Unions leading to
the creations of ‘National Labor Relations Board’ and their triumphs in
the automobile industries…the erection and extension of Tennessee Valley
Authority to areas they avoided especially the legislative that ensured
electricity to outback such as Indian Reservations and old African American
neighborhoods were conditioned by the triumphs in the Court who ruled that such
restrictions were unconstitutional. In Watson
v. Memphis, the Court ruled it was unconstitutional to restrict African
Americans from enjoying the Parks and Recreation, began as a series of complain
to the Court and the legislative, and it is similar to the latter day cases of Griffin v. Prince Edward County. James Meredith class action suit also began
with complaint and personal…..Herman Sweatt struggles to open University of
Texas to African Americans, the James Meredith fight to integrate African
Americans at University of Mississippi, Burke Marshall Civil Rights Division, Edwards v. South Carolina, Gibson v. Florida legislative, were
began with personal complaint and drafts of complain which were mitigated upon
by process and busy schedule of City or State Secretaries but through
persistent proved itself in the end.
But here as elsewhere the persons
of these groups still linger, lingers on what to expect from the continued
progress of the country along the path which set itself in opposition to the
Constitution with misinterpretation of personal and community rights, which are
products of an era long gone, gone with the injuries of the period which for
some is quite deep. It was the meaning of the constitution and it is worth the
review that such cultures and exercise of culture imperils the original intent
of the framers. More than once, the problems of the African Americans in United
States, even in the neighborhoods in which they came from, is ultimately a
question of identity and interpretation, to the extent that among the African
Americans are definite and explicit statements of self-help – which the Arabs
consider to be more practical than Agape, for through self-help the endurance
of one’s active existence is achieved within the lineage, whereas the society
endures along the lines of families and communities, it is how knit these
society are, may we delve the future estimates of our common society. Perhaps
approaching people and the culture of these United States, which the question
of the United States may arise on the detriments that false allegations and
badly placed institutional laws are based on the contingency of human desires,
perhaps began in good and bad fate, may explicate on its existence against the
private wishes of other Americans and contingent on it, and in one word,
against ‘oppression’ given the singularity of US voting and the total
definition of US laws.
Plessy
v. Ferguson as a land mark hearing and decision established the (1896)
‘Separate but equal doctrine’ which remain a precedent without its full
implications to other judges until fairly recently. But it had to be done. It
started with a complaint to the Court house perhaps, with its degree of
complicity but it won out at least with a sparing from attorneys. It took an
individual complain and eventually evolves on its own, to dispute the case of Buchanan v. Warley (1917) – where Supreme court struck down an ordinance that
disallowed the residency of Blacks in White neighborhoods. In Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada (1938) – Lloyd L.
Gaines – tried to get into the Law school of Missouri – but been turned down,
he urged the State to react, they denied him, but Supreme Court struck down the
ordinance. McLaurin v. Oklahoma State
Regents (1950) was forced to sit in a separate place and his complaint to the
court forced a court intervention and eventually ruled it unconstitutional. We may recollect the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) in
which the Supreme Court acted that all segregation in School was illegal –
arguing from the fourteenth Amendments; the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting
Right Acts of 1965, Tinker v. Des Moines
Independent Community School District (1969) all began with Complaints to the
Judiciary – initially with intent at reversing misplaced constitutional laws
and interdiction led to better assessment of the society. If the Federal Court
for any length of reasons decides to act against such a process it could do so
by seeking remove from Court process, any Complaint which for them failed to
show material worth or value, or any complaint.
Bernard Schwartz, “There are,
however, actually relatively few segregated locals if by this we mean that
there are separate unions in the same plant or craft. A few mirrors almost
invariably were segregated in the South-the carpenters, the longshoremen, paper
makers, the pulp Sulphite workers, the brotherhood of Railway clerks, the
Tobacco workers, and the musicians – but CIO International union rarely had
more than two or three segregated locals.” (97) (105). From popular sources as from other sources of
US history of the Courts, provisions and Clerk’s dairy…Goss, McNesse v. Board of Education; Robinson v. Florida and Bell v. Maryland, Garner v. Louisiana of
the Civil Rights of 1964 began as direct Complaint to the Court and not even
the legislative and the Court eventually decided to look at the
Constitutionality of the alleged infringement which from very old times was considered
sacrosanct or traditional violation, were eventually re-considered in the light
of facilities and new interpretation of the public actions on such a case…Lombard v. Louisiana…..
Of course the weightier subject on
why for instance a horse of any color would still find connection with his kind
if it looked well enough, accords the same that the general interest of all
humanity is the enduring facade of ultimate connections. Here as we delve the mire of deliberate
efforts by landlords and my others to promote a culture at what it seems the
expense of others – particularly one – we become by stretch students and
participants of the evolution of wealth in some American societies. If we may
yet indicate that power like the male-ego mainly witness his appearing in
nearly all its concerns and for that must need the other is other cast abroad
the consequence of neglect and overbearing which is hind sight is power half
the apple.
