UNDERSERVED AND IMPOVERISHED urban jungles are sociological cesspools
that breeds desperate and violent criminals in the land of the free

into a nightmare. |

Poverty Breeds Predators:
Desperation engenders criminal anarchy |
|
"Many residents are
living below the poverty level in dilapidated apartment complexes. When
you’ve got serious money problems, it seems like nothing else works …you
are desperate. You're living in this nasty apartment with no food, the
baby doesn't have any diapers and you're at the end of your rope. In a
lot of cases, they end up robbing and stealing from each other." The
foregoing synopsis is credited to Officer T. C. Mathis, a four-year
veteran of Houston, Texas’ Police Department.

AUSTIN MCNACK JR. epitomized the strong and fiercely
patriotic Black men, who were unconditionally loyal to the United States
of America, in spite of the fact that they subjected the most brutal
form of chattel slavery (in the history of man’s inhumanity to their
fellowman), upon their ancestors for over two for almost three hundred
years, which was followed by black codes, Jim Crow laws, segregation and
institutionalized racism. Even so, his proudest moments were serving
three years in his nations segregated Army fighting for his country.

|
What happens when an outspoken Black political activist
challenges and fights racist power structures in small Texas towns? The
countless incidents of threats, intimidation, racism and the capped off
verdict in the trial of Victor Burnett in Ellis County explains the
uphill battle Blacks face when trying to find justice in rural America.

I really and truly believe that if Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev.
Jesse Jackson or former President Bill Clinton were in the president’s
seat, I don’t think we would see America in the condition it is in now.
For starters, they are mentally "in touch" with the majority of
Americans. They seek peace and possess compassion for people, unlike our
current leadership. They are also men who can function with common sense
above the mass hysterical thinking of so called religious people in
America who justify war based on "their interpretation" of the Bible.

Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson -
"Supreme Radical Uncle Tom"
Visits San Antonio |
|
While the conservative white elite love to tout
"Negro" Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson as "the most courageous, outspoken
critic of the civil rights establishment today" his standing in most of
the African American community is that of a foolish pawn. Mr. Peterson
recently appeared at the University of Texas at San Antonio prompting
protests by the African American community. With the idea of "Sambo" in
mind, Reverend Peterson has hit the Talk Radio funny show circuit.

PUBLISHER’S ANALYSIS

|
District B's City Councilman Jarvis
Johnson is walking his proactive talk |
|
As I said last week, it was
tragic that it took a tragedy to unite Houston, Texas’ District
B’s Acres Home community. Even so, I applaud my neighbors who
came together to send a message to whoever killed and dumped six
women in our back yards. Need I say that lack of unity has
historically been our people’s lament throughout the nation?
Truthfully, wanting to unite the community is the main reason
Malonson Company Inc. invested the necessary resources to make
African American News & Issues Texas’ widest circulated and read
newspapers with a Black perspective. Maybe it’s wishful
thinking. Yet, I truly believe if the Black media would network
we could unify Black America politically.

minority families who meet state guidelines; increase the number
of permanent homes tha t are available for individual minority
