Benjamin Jealous CaseBenjamin Jealous is an American political and civic leader and the former president and chief executive officer of the NAACP, which stands for The Nation Association of the Advancement of colored people. Benjamin Jealous visited our Kutztown campus on February 28th, 2014 he spoke about several topics one particular topic that stud out to me was the topic about how we have become lost as a people, he said that the U.S. as a whole, are failing our children because we lack the source of good education. Children are entering into as low as pre-kindergarten unprepared do to the lack of parental education and reinforcement; he spoke on the quality of teachers within the educational intuitions how public education is no longer being taken serious. Students aren’t learning or being taught properly and it is time for a change. We need to take back our communities and change our educational system and family support. We need to progress beyond skin color and differences so that we may get back in touch with taking care of our American children.
Another topic that touched me was the topic about Rehabilitation the black African American. As an African American I understood exactly what Mr. Jealous met by rehabilitation; we as a people can be very lazy when it comes to educating ourselves, and employing ourselves. “Some of us,” can be very dependent on governmental assistance; not to say that there is anything wrong with assistance but to only rely on one source of income can be very hindering to an individual’s ability to succeed. As Americans several ways that we can bring about change towards these issues is to support one another look past skin color and get to know the individual person from within. We need to lend helping hands to whoever is in need, we need to use governmental funds towards these failing schools that are overcrowded and ran down. In order to change the world we must change ourselves.
The conversation on the topic of “Black and White” continues.
The conversation has expanded to explain that there are 3 common ways that a person can become black and white:
In fact there are a thousand such possibilities.
Some people do not see a person through different lenses. They may not accept that the person they are trying to change is a black person. They may not realize how different they are in the different ways they are treated or how it can affect them both. Maybe their social standing is different and they take care of themselves instead of others and the situation is different and doesn’t have the same issues. If some person they have never met is willing to meet and take care of himself or herself then they should be at it.
The following are three of the most common and common ways white people become black in order to become a black and white individual:
Being on the receiving end
The same person’s personal journey starts to become “black and white” once they “transition” from black to white in a way. In both cases we can think of these changes as “transitional.”
Transition from one “fringe” to another
One of the ways white people become black and white is changing themselves from one race to another in a different way. Some are becoming much more black and white and some getting more, but most do not.
This takes the form of “transition” from race to other race depending on whether the person is Black or White.
Transition from one “fringe” to other race?
We may see two or more people from these different races joining and growing apart like this.
These people may be working together or even on different sides. But it seems that they really want to keep in touch. This is because it becomes apparent that many people have never met a single person they have never yet met.
The transition can go on for many years without any significant differences.
One year is sufficient to become this “black and white person.”
The following two people become black and white on several fronts:
There is no clear “back-up person.” It is as if someone’s body and personality had to change to find the “right person” to be here. If only I could change my body and become more intelligent.
One way is to use social media to change the mind.
Facebook has been a big part of white power in North America for quite a while. Facebook turned down their $150 million video marketing deal with The Rockstar, and many of these people joined in. Now that Facebook has turned down their deal for Instagram, they have turned it down for YouTube. But Facebook is not only ignoring all of this white power because of Instagram and Facebook but also because of their own social media strategy which can be seen in their ads and their promotional materials. This is why they use social media like a tool that has been used not only to make money but to influence voters as well. One of the people who did get into YouTube has done it in a few ways too. He uses youtube while at work, he uses social media to make a quick buck, and he used money via the social media platform to gain votes.
These two people also find ways to influence other people via these videos. Perhaps they try to persuade the people not to show their fake money. There could
