Dr. Omowale Akintunde on separating church influence on government policies.
Omowale Akintunde
Hi, Cori! I read your post and I have multiple things to say. And like you, I am concerned about the length of space my response would consume. It is impossible for me to respond succinctly. Additionally, I am certain that I would introduce concepts that might be foreign to my faithful FB friends. I have posted on this issue continuously. I have used my classroom as a platform for elucidation on these issues. You will probably find my response a bit problematic despite the fact that in the end we actually agree with each other. For me, religion is truly the opiate of the masses. LI don't care about Christian interpretation because Christianity ITSELF is the problem here. Like all proselytizing religions, it inculcates people into blind allegiance into some of the most ridiculous ideologies imaginable. As I posted earlier, if you believe in talking snakes, that's on you. My problem is when you begin to presume that all people must and that you have the right to extrapolate your religious beliefs as the foundation for human "knowing." This is what is called epistemology. Knowing is a social construct. Religion is a social construct. The notion of morality (axiology) is a social construct. Now, I hate to jump all academic on everybody but that is the problem here. People are using religious dogma as a means for interpreting social reality (ontology). Now the problem with this is that all religions have different and mutually exclusive epistemologies, ontologies and axiologies. The Christian believe that Mary woke up one morning pregnant. No sex. No nothing. Just woke up pregnant. Further she deduced that God was the baby daddy. Then there's the prophet Muhammad interpretation that says this is a total lie. God spoke to the prophet Muhammad giving him revelations through the Angel Gabriel. Then there are the Jews who say, poppycock. No such person as Jesus or Muhammad existed and the Messiah has not come. As a result of these conflicting "truths" with each group believing their "truth" is ABSOLUTE, there have been a succession of slaughtering wars that have gone on for centuries.
There's a reason why a slave's hands were cut off for reading but they were Christianized. Once you brainwash a person to believe in your deity absolutely you can get them to believe anything! That includes talking snakes, babies that appear out of the clear blue with God's name on their birth certificate, angels that appear with revelations, and a host of other bullshit. AND THEY WILL DEFEND THESE THINGS TO THEIR DYING BREATH! The reason I admire this President is that he has pushed through the bullshit and has attempted to create a society that is beyond these stagnant oppressive "truths." For me, the proof is not in religion but rather outside of it. This is why folks like Bristol Palin, an unwed mother, knocked up in the 11th grade, and high school dropout has the nerve to attack the President's stance on equal marriage and his daughters based on that bible of hers. Mind you, that SAME BIBLE was used as the basis for enslaving Blacks, denying us the right to marry White people and to vote. Now WE are using that same bible to justify gay oppression. The funny thing is more than 70 percent of Black babies are born out of wedlock and Black mothers are 10X more likely to be at or below the poverty line. Yet they lead the charge against marriage equality!! People will continue to die, Cori. They will continue to die because of the hypocrisy of religiosity. The only way we can move beyond this is to educate our people away from the invisible man and their White savior and move toward or more humanistic interpretation of reality

Bridging the Gap
"I pray that I'm forgiving for caring about how they living, and loaning a little money and keeping them out of prison...I'm just telling you the basics of growing up with your friends and being the one who made it"
In the above mentioned quote Drake (rapper) spoke a message that many people in below middle income and poverty experience daily. Contrary to popular belief their are people who live to make it out of socials conditions where selling drugs, minimal education, gang affiliation, teenage pregnancy, and jail/prison terms are expected. I never wanted to relate to the dealer who was only moving pack just to help keep the lights on for his mother because those doubles and triples aren't earning much. I never wanted to live it I just wanted to author his story to the ones looking down so that they wouldn't judge, but be able to understand.
It becomes hard when you don't strive to be Carter from the penthouse or Jamaal from the projects, you just want to Brandon, just someone who is accepted by both. I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me when I know that no matter how high of an income I obtain, or how many degrees I earn to some upper class elite I will still be looked at as a "nigga in a coupe" or no matter how much I fight for, strive, speak for social equality for those whose skin looks like mine I will still not be accepted by some because my jeans aren't baggy enough, I choose sweaters over tees, and square toes over foams.
People tell me frequently that "they may not like but they'll respect you", but it's human nature to be accepted. How do you bridge a gap between two different classes when it seems like no matter hard you try both sides keep pushing you away? Even though it seems difficult and nearly impossible I feel that alienating yourself myself from negative conditions and showing the friends that I grew up with that it's other avuenues that life can drive you towards without giving you the feeling of selling out. They say, "you are a direct reflection of who you hang around," I agree partially because if you make it I thinks your moral responsability to help someone up if they are willing to give you their hand. Too many times people not only forget where they came from, but they forget what they had to do to get where they are at and to help lead others out.
Im still astonish at the fact that whenever I visit my people in Chicago, or Gary, In I'm always reminded of war stories of my uncles and how the we're respected for things they did good and bad, but those uncles always remind never to be like them, but to become someone that brag about who made it and to never forget my roots, but to start a standard that being from "the hood" doesn't mean your story has to end there.

Occupy OUR Streets
On September 17, 2011 “Occupy Wall Street” was born by the group Adbusters, a assembly of people based out of Canada who symbolize themselves as the 99% who aim to fight against the 1% of people who hold most of the worlds wealth. “According to a survey of Zuccotti Park protesters by the Baruch College School of Public Affairs published on October 19, of 1,619 web respondents, 1/3 were older than 35, half were employed full-time, 13% were unemployed and 13% earned over $75,000. 27.3% of the respondents called themselves Democrats, 2.4% called themselves Republicans, while the rest, 70%, called themselves independents,” but what about the forgotten ones. What about that lower social economical class who have been affected long before the middle class, the ones who are accustomed to working double and triples as means not to get on top, but just to survive, or what about those who “protest” in ways that are not in the conventional forms of marching and sit-ins?
When it gets to that point where middle class Americans across our nation are taking a stand, and lobbying against those “1 percenters” then America almost has to take a glance that the struggle that these people are facing, but who is there to sympathize with the forgotten.
Even though any race may fall in the low economical standing I want to focus on African American men and women, the people who resemble me, those whom I have hands on experience and eye witness accounts in dealing with this “Occupy Our Streets” matter.
Usually when it comes to women usually their options are few. Many have been placed in these economical standings because they have been born into them, or birth children that have placed them there. Sometimes working your way through college is not an option once you add up daycare costs that will become associated with a parent when they have to leave for these extended periods. One of the few options that these single women have is working 2-3 three low paying jobs, or jobs that require them to work odd hours that consist of doubles and triples, but at the end of the month once expenses are accounted for those many hours clocked in still don’t seem to add up to much. This is the only way that they have to protest against those “one percenters”, but to most it may not seem like a movement, but the only way they can compete for economical prosperity is to work crazy amount of hours at jobs that won’t pay much because of how easily they can be replaced by others who are in the same circumstances as them, or worst.
Men on the other hand have always protested in ways that weren’t fundamental to how the “Occupy Wall Street” are doing. A lot of men have pride issues that can be the motivational factor for you to do better for your family, or be the reason for its down fall. Pride can force a male to actually become a man and go out and work those 60 hours a week job to provide, or for a lot it seems like make him a coward and walk away. Then those all the others who only form of protest they know are to go out in their hoods, ghettos, and projects and start selling dope, robbing folks, hustling in whatever means that will provide for those babies, and/or wife/mother at home that’s depending on you to bring income back to the house to cover the rent, food, lights, and gas bills. Most people don’t grow up dreaming to become criminals. After adolescent years seeing people in their struggling communities performing confirming to these roles it almost acts as a social brain washing that tells that this is what your destined to be. Most men have too much pride to be your local burger flipping chef at McDonalds, or your express lane cashier at Wal-Mart. Also how many women are proud to claim that they are in relations with someone whose current career path is that of a McDonald’s employee or Wal-Mart lifer? Hold up….I’ll Wait. Growing up women too, but , men are always in competition with others to make money, have the flashiest car, be the best dressed, and smash the most “b*****s.” How do you tell an 18 year old that has grown up around poverty, but sees nothing but luxury living when he looks in magazines, the t.v., and local neighborhood superstars that he can get by on 7.25? You cant tell most because his pride won’t allow him to listen. No one man wants to be the guy that no woman chooses, or the one who is ridiculed because his sneakers from the clearance rack, or that feeling of self worthlessness because his pockets are touching. So he ends up “occupying his streets” by the only way he knows how. He doesn’t care whether you accept it, but he just wants understanding, but at the end of the day he doesn’t care if you understand it either.
In the words of Clifford Harris (T.I.),“before you going judging these people, loving them won’t because at the end of the day they’re just doing their job.” Even though its wrong at the end of the in terms of how it affects society, its has all moral standing when it comes to providing for their families. No one wants to be the mother of son that sold drug, and no child wants to have a mother that has to work 60-70 hours a week because they need that physical love, but what can you do when you are constantly teased with an American Dream in a nation that still looks at you as a second class citizen.

We Are More Than They Think We Are
WE ARE MORE THAN THEY THINK WE ARE!!!!
It was set in law that blacks were only 3/5th of an actual person. Sometimes I sit back and wonder do some of us still believe that.
I like to read articles from all spectrums, I like to see the way different races and ethnicitys perceive blacks as a collective whole. I've notice many racially biased articles and blogs have the tendency to use scientific racism. For ex. more blacks are incarcerated than in college, but if you use the traditional college age 18-25 you'll notice that is a lie. Also that all black mothers are welfare recipients, some writers use statistics to skew opinions, but fail to mention if welfare was completely cut off that more whites would suffer.
Many people fail to realize that stereotypes are just saturated strands of truths wrapped around ignorance. Even if society deems you as a second class citizen in a land that is supposedly for the free it should never deter your dreams, but serve as the gas to power them (I think Ye said something like that). We as black people should always keep in mind that we were kings before slaves, and our women were royalty before sex trophies, but I think since slavery was such a prominent tragedy in our history that we've failed to overcome it as a collective whole.
We've been given a glass ceiling of what we can achieve, ie. rappers, entertainers, drug dealers, athletes etc. Those careers are not attainable to the common person, except drug dealing, but giving someone little hope will just leave the common person comfortable in their situation. Even though our bodies were freed from slavery, our minds have stayed in those fields and in the big house.
Some of us have allowed institutionalized racism to put us in a state of economical mediocre obedience. Like many slaves 400 years ago that were afraid to escape to freedom, many of us are afraid to take risk that could take us to progressive lives. Instead some of us choose to become comfortable in regressive lives or, in a state of consistent struggle. We must keep in mind that we don't have to follow what our peers refuse to be, or what the people before us wouldn't be, instead we must focus on what we dream to be and work hard to make sure that is what we are.
I have the belief and faith that today, or tomorrow, but one day we will be respected, I'm not saying have racial prominence over the world, but looked at as equals to the world. We are more than what some expect us as a collective to be, but we will be what Martin, Malcolm, and black nationalist knows we are destined to be. We should always remember that their is plenty room at the top, its the bottom that's crowded.

We Must Do Better
1. We need to channel that same aggression we get when we feel we are getting oppressed by the white hierarchy to black on black crimes that affect our community. If we can't unite together how can we begin to fight for equality against other races.
2. Ladies need to trying to give relationship advice and motivational FB stats/tweets when they are half naked in their picture.
3. We need to support our black businesses in the community, not just the barber shop, beauty salon, and weedman.
4. We need to invest more energy in our children's education than their dress. If you're going to post a picture of how "fresh" they are please post a picture of the child's report card.
5. Ladies fishnet attire is not an outfit. It just makes you look like a hoe who wasn't hugged as a child.
6. "Stop trying to find relationships in places where ass grabbing is taken place" Ms. Parker
7. We need to stopping have children if it is difficult or we can barely afford to take care of the first. Children don't deserve to suffer if its preventable.
8. "We need to encourage our men to be Kings not niggers, and our girls to be queens rather than bad bitches" nova giovanni
9. We need to be teaching our young children math and science like they do in China, not Waka Flocka lyrics.
10. We as males need to stop leaving self sufficient woman that know what they want in life for arm candy, arm candy is only around when times are sweet.
11. Stop getting engaged to people AFTER they go to jail.
12. We need to stop idolizing rappers just because we like a song of theirs. What do you really know about them besides what they tell you.
13. We need to stop putting ALL our money in items that will depreciate. Put some away for a rainy day.
14. We need to learn the difference between "being a hood nigga and a nigga from the hood"
15. We need to surround ourselves with people that allow us to live up to our potential. Not those who want us to live down to their expectations.
Thank you for reading, feedback and opinions are always acceptable

13. We need to stop putting ALL our money in items that will depreciate. Put some away for a rainy day.
14. We need to learn the difference between "being a hood nigga and a nigga from the hood"
15. We need to surround ourselves with people that allow us to live up to our potential. Not those who want us to live down to their expectations.
