Tapsearch Com EditorForbes - Gene Mark have Plantation Owner Mentality
" Forbes Types" like top blogger Gene Marks try to tell others how to live. They do the talk without ever doing the walk
Plantation Owner mentality takes over the black issue. President Obama as the first black president bails out the big money communities and put them back in charge of the free trade globalist process. He ignores the suffering of the jobless, the working poor class and the poor blacks in the inner cities.
Meanwhile back at the plantation, the “Forbes Types” tell others how they should live. Gene Mark, a top Forbes blogger says, “If I Were a Poor Black Kid,”... I would try to be at the top of my class, master technology and communications, and attend the best private high school in town. This is what I call Plantation Owner mentality. It is a “ I got mine, why don't you have yours” attitude.
Instead of seeking ways to collaborate with workers in making the proper path from the things as they are to the things as they should be, ( ref. Peter Maurin, Catholic Workers ), the economist, the scholar and those who are in the big money class should become workers so the workers could become what they are. Free trade came and made workers the real commodities being traded. Workers are put on a global block to compete with each other for the same jobs down to the lowest levels of wage slave and even child labor. The “Forbes Types” look down from above while they reap the benefits of impoverished workers. People like Gene Mark support the system that does this instead of crying out , we should occupy all streets.
Sharon Broussard, an associated editor for the Cleveland Plain Dealer confronts people like Gene Mark who think they can put others on the right path just by telling them some obvious things like trying to be the best you can be. In my long working career, I found only a few people who did not want to work. It is part of our nature to excel. However, Gene Mark talks about a path where only a few can break out. The same old story as been recited since 1932 about the black minority. In the 1960s, the Civil Rights movement took hold. The liberals embraced it. They did a good job of branding it but were and still unable to unlock the door for millions of impoverished blacks. Reportedly one half of all young blacks living in the inner city are unemployed. The blacks make up one of the largest parts of our prison population which is the largest in the world. They certainly did not choose this destiny in their early years. There must be externals causing this outside the general control of blacks growing up in America. With Civil Rights, a few have been able to break through these barriers but as a rule we still have the same old story that is about eighty years old.
I served the last larger family super markets that once were in the inner city. There were many. These stores knitted communities together. Many gave their customers credit for long periods of time with just a simple record in their books. If someone came in asking for food , many times these store keepers would give it to them free. There were obviously some problems with this process but it kept things together for a long time. In our city, the Hough Riots came and many of the stores were burn down with some neighborhoods going down with them . However, it was nothing like what happen after free trade came and devoured neighborhoods across the whole city. Just when the blacks were getting their union cards and the option of making a middle class living, free trade came and closed the factories down. Just when racial barriers were being broken on the factory floors, free trade came and stole this happening away. Now there are miles of major streets across the city, that look like third world countries. The places where I once traveled with ease are now war zones and if you do not know the lay of the land, it mean your life. In the 1970s, about seven supermarket owners lost their lives in robberies. I estimate about 200 larger family owned super markets went out of business prior to the 1990s. In their place, the Arab Americans took over with small family owned stores. I estimate the number to be much smaller than the 200 large family supermarkets. However in the 1990s, about twenty Arab Americans lost their lives during robberies while President Clinton was proclaiming prosperity. In the 1990s, America went through the most massive dislocation of jobs with millions losing their jobs and millions more became part of the new working poor class. Those who find jobs
are working two or three part time jobs at a time and still do not make a living to sustained a natural family environment. The children are home alone raising themselves. The children have more things to worry about than trying to be at the top of their class. A family member who taught in the inner city had to use food as an incentive for students to come for tutoring. And the students had to worry about getting home before dark etc. The had to walk home fearing they may be shot.
I suggest the “Forbes Types” do some of these things themselves before telling others how to live.
I suggest someone like Gene Mark do the walk before they talk.
I could also tell them this. I worked in several factories while going to college and if these jobs were available today there would be millions standing in line to get them across the United States including college graduates who are not able to find jobs in their chosen fields. The “Forbes Types” Globalist Free Traders came and exported these jobs as they worship at the altar of greed. The value of labor and workers have been deflated and degraded just so a few can make billions of dollars this way.
And President Obama, the first black president , came and bailed them out after they even failed themselves. While the jobless, working poor and the blacks are outside looking in at the celebration.
A plantation owner mentality rules the funny money monopoly games and the destinies of impoverished workers in a new kind of slave trade.
