Who DId it to you Roundtable Discussion with Dr James Jones and Bro Muhammad

Second Step Presidential Justice Forum: What does that actually mean to us?? Let's talk about it. 2020 Democratic hopefuls participate in a bipartisan forum focused on criminal justice reform on the campus of Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina.

There is a popular axiom that states, ‘those who fail to plan, plan to fail.’ There is quite possibly no more succinct means of describing the current politico economic state of Black America. Put simply, we have failed to plan; choosing instead to be wholly reactionary to incidents after they have occurred. Within the African-American community, things are in such disarray that many have publicly questioned if the “Black community” still exists, particularly as there does not appear to be any semblance of political collectivism, economic self-sufficiency, or social decorum.

The issues of politico or socioeconomic collectivism among African-Americans is a topic bantered about and discussed in venues that vary from Black Nationalist gatherings to Black barbershops/beauty salons. All seem to agree that in regards to collective movements, the “Black Community”, a term that appears to be more of an oxymoron as the days pass, is in a downward spiral; however, few understand why this has occurred.
